    Tesla Model Y build quality, manufacturing refinement and assembly

    I'm really enjoying the objectively worse software and the lack of even basic Rear Parking Proximity warnings in my MYP following the removal of USS (with no timeline to this being rectified). Adding remote farting functionality in the Christmas Update really added insult to injury... Poor rear...

    MYP UK Waiting Room

    Finally got my Insurance sorted through Octopus EV. Dentist tomorrow morning, pickup from Brent Cross after that...hopefully the latter will be less painful than the former! Red Multi-Coat MYP with Black Interior + Enhanced Autopilot - Long overdue! I haven't seen many Red MYs in the wild so...

    MYP UK Waiting Room

    Octopus EV are making me sweat sorting my included insurance prior to pick-up (21/12) - I called up the 3rd Party Insurer and they've got no record of me or the Reg. (apparently you're supposed to get your Insurance Certificate "a couple of days before your collection") Obviously I got onto...

    MYP UK Waiting Room

    I honestly wouldn't worry. I once travelled shotgun in a Multi-vehicle transporter from Southampton up to Dundee (don't ask!) and it took maybe 14hrs with mandatory breaks. We went straight from load at Southampton to full unload with no stops (as I'd imagine Tesla likely do). Once the ship is...

    2022 Shipping Movements

    I'm in Ruislip and collecting from Brent Cross on the same day as you. You're not far from me and I'm not worried (I've tracked plenty of cars into port in my time!) 👍

    2022 Shipping Movements

    It will likely be completely unloaded before midday of 18/12. It then has ~2.5 days to get to wherever you're collecting from (it probably only needs maybe half a day to get to your collection location and unloaded unless you're in the Far North). To everyone who is worried about Grande...

    MYP UK Waiting Room

    mytyres.co.uk totalled about £1650 (255/35/21 on front, 275/35/21 on rears) and then I tried several Discount Codes (apologies, I didn't note down what worked) until I shaved off a decent chunk. I'm collecting my MYP next Wednesday and need to find someone to fit them same-day (I'm travelling...

    I've had to go with the Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3. I couldn't find a set of 4 for less than about £1500. Ouchie!

    I've just ordered one to celebrate the Grande Halifax approaching Suez. I simply won't use the Frunk without it + I'm a traditionalist.

    MYP UK Waiting Room

    It IS 2 tons of car with ridiculous torque and aggressive regen from a manufacturer not exactly known for their driving feel or feedback... I got some funny looks when I test drove a Y LR, told the Tesla Employees that it was one of the most detached experiences I've ever had in a car but that...

    I have to wait until 21/12 but that seriously looks like they're wiping down after washing with sandpaper! Good luck with your collection! 👍

    That scratching is HORRENDOUS! I'm now terrified of what I'm going to find at Brent Cross! 😳

    Brent Cross Delivery on 21/12. I just had my Reg through (LA72) which makes it all seem a bit closer!

    MYP UK Waiting Room

    Has anybody given any thought to driving in Europe in countries that mandate full Winter Tyres? Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3s seem to be an option for use with 21" Uberturbines but are SUPER expensive for occasional use (around £1800 for the set). Are there any other options besides these/going...

    Sweden MYP - Waiting Room

    Bit of a random question. Does anybody know what tyres Swedish MYPs come with? UK ones seem to come with Michelin Summer Tyres and other parts of Europe seem to get the All Season variant. Given the laws around Winter Tyres in Sweden, are you basically forced to either get Pirelli Winter...
