I've read elsewhere that the base Model 3 now comes with heated rear seats and heated steering wheel as standard.

I noticed similar swirls, scratching and a little 'haziness' in certain light/angles when I collected my red M3 and I suspect a lot of this is how the car is washed or prepared prior to handover. I mean it didn't look BAD but it was noticeable if you have an eye for such things. I took the car...

Are you using a case? So far I’ve read that the wireless charger works if you’re not using a case, or upside down with a case

Apparently it wirelessly charges if you flip it upside down, haven’t tried it myself yet though

The SR+ supplied in the UK comes with carpet mats. This is now standard, it just seems the Tesla website hasn't been updated.

Yeah I noticed straight away, found myself using the brakes a little more rather than purely one pedal driving. It's not a massive difference, but I noticed something. Could also be something to do with the extra weight of the LR, perhaps the same regen force is being applied but it just has...

If it helps, I went from a June 2021 SR+ (LFP) to an August 2021 LR AWD and oddly I felt the regen braking to be slightly weaker than the SR+. I suspect part of it is the additional weight of the LR but it was a surprise.

It seems to vary based on how much the detailer charges for labour (as it's primarily a labour cost) and what product is used but I used a well established detailer accredited by GTechniq, the car was in for 2 days having GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra applied to the paintwork as well as a coating...

They’re tricky enough to get off, does take a wee bit of force but be sensible and try to work some of the clips off before pulling to release the centre cap bit but they will come off. If you plan to take them off, do it fairly soon after delivery as over time they scratch and damage the...

The first 1000 supercharger miles I got from referral showed up in my app immediately after handover, but I'm now due a second 1000 due to a second referral but neither of us are showing anything. No word back from my SA about it, but if I hear anything I'll post back

Same! I referred a friend (and it's always shown up in my Tesla app - it showed their name and 'ordered', which now says 'delivered') but neither of us have got the 1000 miles. I've emailed my SA to query it.

Picked up my LR (red, 19in wheels) from Belfast just over a week ago. No issues at all, seems perfect, except the bonnet seemed a little hazy with light microscratches which I put down to poor wash/prep prior to delivery I’d the car booked in with a local detailer who machine polished the...

Mine seems to be working as normal with 2021.24.4, the last two charges I've done (67-75%, and 30-90%) both finished about 35 minutes prior to the scheduled departure time

There's some pretty big speed bumps where I drive, I'm genuinely concerned about bottoming out even at stock. Definitely squeaky bum time going over them super slow.

I bought the upgrade expecting to likely refund before the 48hr trial window expired but I really like it - it’s obviously not going to completely transform an already fast car but I definitely notice it feels ‘punchier’ in general, mostly at the low end but that translates into a really...
