Moderator comment - thread merged from "The UK model Y order thread" Hi all, UK orders are open for Model Y on Tesla.com. Have your ordered yours yet, if so - congrats.. what did you order? I just ordered our Long Range in white with black interior. It will replace our 2019 Model 3 SR+

The tray for the centre console and the tray for the arm rest are very useful add-ons. That and frunk mat.

Mine did yes.

Tesla register it. In a years time the DVLA will send your a road tax reminder, and when you “pay it” it will be zero rated.

Ruby has arrived (original I know ;) ) I picked it up this morning at Glasgow. Very organised and fast handover. Car was in near perfect condition. Panel gaps and alignment very good. Paint looks consistent. Interior fit and finish is really a step up on the earlier Fremont cars. No rattles...

I’m picking up my M3P tomorrow morning at 10am in Glasgow.. anyone also got a similar pickup slot in Glasgow tomorrow?

Nope. All my previous Teslas have had white interiors so far.. and even with three kids, no issues at all. Very easy to keep clean - unless you let them play with permanent markers… 😩

It’s completely normal.. and yours looks pretty good compared to many. No chance they are replacing yours unfortunately.

Yes I know that was the context of the question. Just wanted to check because technically the Performance used to just be an LR with bigger wheels, lower springs, bigger brakes, the motors turned up a bit and a boot lip. So just interesting to see that it’s now got a completely different...

Doesn’t the MIC M3P get the 82kWH now? Thought I’d read that..

The problem with Freemont cars is the absolute variability. Our 2019 M3SR+ delivered in Nov 2019 was for all-intents and purposes perfect. Great gaps, reasonable paint, no rattles. I've not had it back to Tesla since we picked it up. My 2020 M3P delivered in Mar 2020 was totally the...

There is a lot of mass in the cars, AWD or RWD doesn't matter - the mass will go wherever the camber / incline takes it if the tyres can't grip. And re-gen can make it real interesting I can tell you. I recall a very scary moment on the A84 near Strathyre in 2018 in the Model X I had at the...

when comparing my 2020 M3P with my wifes 2019 M3SR+, her car is so efficient, that we always tend to stop at the same charging stops and her charging curve is better than mine most of the time. Basically on most longer journeys you would be surprised at the lack of difference. And this is on two...

No ones tested to see if double glazing is for efficiency rather than wind noise. Better heat rejection / insulation?

If sr+ And…. A heat pump, ability to enable heated steering wheel (extra cost but at least an option), double glazed front windows, a battery that will have little to no appreciable losses after 10 years, better interior, better paint finish if compared with a 2019….
