Quiet and largely uneventful pick-up from Trafford Centre today. Got there at ten forty for an eleven thirty pickup with no problem whatsoever..they found my car on their laptop, checked I had paid, got a signature and pressed the magic button to make my app come alive when restarted. Found my...

And I.

Some good points there, thanks, I was thinking maybe up to 80% on the supercharger then plug in at home overnight to go the final journey to 100% and cell balancing. Certainly don’t want the last slow potion of the charge curve on a supercharger for many reasons. Will have to see how it works...

Not sure of the best approach to maximise this benefit.. Would supercharging each week to 100 percent be bad for the LFP battery ? I live near superchargers and as I am retired can sit and watch Netflix with no time pressures.. BUT... should I charge at home for better battery management ? OR as...

Yes, a few on Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout, UK and Ireland sub forum and myself.

Thank you for that clarification ☺️ Much appreciated.

I had the email and am bordering on ecstatic ☺️

Nono.. never thought you rude, just very helpful, thanks.. I will,probably get there early and will look out for you.. I was quite aware I was on a solo route with THRUXTON, but as I said that seems to be stuck round Koper. Trafford did say not to believe what you see on the internet...

I can’t say who told me, Emma on the phone was very keen to know ! I did call in at Trafford Centre this afternoon and they were equally reluctant to give any information other than,all on schedule, you will get your car on 24th and car not yet in uk. yes, I agree I was the only one who was...

Ok, I rang and got a call back and was asked who told me I my car was on the THRUXTON and that they were not allowed to do that and my caller would not, absolutely not tell me which ship my car was on. She said that It would be delivered when they said it would be or maybe they would contact me...

Thanks, I can only hope mine is also on Grande Halifax then. I will ring and see if can clarify !

I have delivery scheduled for 24th Dec at Trafford centre. I have long believed my car is on THRUXTON which has now been anchored off Koper for over a day now after going in circles before reaching that point. i am fully expecting my delivery may be delayed. Could anyone else with Dec 24th...

Thought of that but it would mean messing up the flags on the drive.. I wanted something a little less permanent so it can easily be removed as soon as the software updates, and who am I kidding ?

I don’t have a handy side wall for the line, but your idea is excellent. I have a window one side and a neighbours car the other..

But then, would I WANT to stop ☺️☺️☺️

Lines on what though ?But I hadnt considered the mirrors, thanks.

In preparation for my pickup of a Model 3 on Christmas Eve I have had to find a solution to parking very close to my house wall without USS. That wall would be very unforgiving on even the slightest touch, I am sure. I need to be close or the rear end will overhang the pavement. Backing in may...

Did the centre console have the required data lead for plugging into the new data module ? I thought they had removed those ?

Yes, on its way to Koper arriving Dec11th is my guess, on THRUXTON. I have Trafford Centre pickup 24thDec too and also was told it arrives there the day before.

Mine is the same day at Trafford Centre and they told me it was on THRUXTON a while ago, I did post that fact. It just docked in Piraeus in Greece.. Next stop Koper Mr M doubted it was a Tesla carrier though. So we shall see.

There is one very close in fact, H2O detailing who probably got in before more recent regulations. So it doesn’t mean there are no commercial car washes. All I assume is that Tesla we’re not approved for that facility in that location in a recent application.

They told me this would happen because of Trafford regulations regarding waste water. They could not get permission to use chemicals to wash them and were even denied the ability to wash them with water only because there may have been chemicals already on the car ! Blame Trafford water disposal...

Thanks for that, time will tell, then. ☺️ I did get a hidden vin on 5th Novemberso that may fit the timing for leaving Shanghai.

..and the last position I found for THRUXTON was 4 days out of date 🙁

They were looking up the expected arrival date when other customers arrived to take their delivery so, of course, I gave way for them !

@MrMiserable. Today my local SC confirmed my hidden VIN and delivery date 24th Dec and told me my battery was at 70 per cent. I think they mentioned THRUXTON, which I checked is a RORO but it doesn’t appear on this thread. is this one we don’t know about ? I was expecting it to be CELLO or...

Same here, some choice eh ? I had Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve or Christmas Eve. You can guess which I took, 10.30, 11.30 or 1.30 and opted for 11.30.

Same here, checked with Trafford Centre, I need do nothing as nothing has changed.

The digit 10, P, before the C for China and the last six digits is the 2023 year and I assume all those have no USS. That’s what I have too, and I also have had a text about being in touch soon to schedule delivery, but I have also not yet had the “USS missing” contact.

It should but …. Have you tried using the Chrome extension vin checker ? That worked for me. I don’t think the link from linktr.ee works any more if you are using that one. Your printout looks like that method ?

Probably not the case for you but just in case.. I was searching for “lrw“ and failed whereas “LRW” found it.

I have had exactly the same this morning having found the hidden VIN on 5/11. Exciting indeed. Went to Trafford centre, test drove exactly the model ordered and did a half hour drive. Very nice too.. loved the traffic lights and speed signs on the visualisation and nailed the one pedal driving...

I also found a VIN this morning. Alerted by Chrome extension and confirmed by a search. Things are moving at long last ! However, EDD changed to 12th to 27th December, slipping back from Dec 5th latest in range.

Huge congratulations. I have followed your posts for a long time and I am delighted to read of your excellent delivery experience as it gives me a lot more confidence about what is to come, hopefully in November for me. I really appreciate your full report and must be almost as excited for you...

Another change in line with the latest reported changes. OD April 11. W/B/Aeros, Trafford Centre. Now Nov 19 to Dec 5. At least this one is plausible, if not entirely believed. Utumno’s must be wrong and needs chasing !

Indeed, he already had the reason and I am sure increases are imminent. However I maybe overstated it as I forgot that 20% of the payment would go to tax here and his share would be more like 80% of my figures, still significant though.

Dear Elon, When I ordered my Model 3 on 11th August I paid my £200 deposit and had £45790 more to pay on delivery. At the time the pound was worth $1.3028 and if you had delivered it to me then you would have had a nice $59655. However, you made me wait, and wait and wait… Today the pound is...

Friday at Trafford centre was similar with approximately 60 collections and 40 to deliver. Good to see SOME people are getting lucky !!

I think the element of wishful thinking is in the timing, not in the production of the new chemistry battery. Inside EVs and Clean Technical are pretty good sources. Of course Tesla may decide to use a smaller pack with the same range but either way there would be range increases. The timing is...

As I understand it, it was for the RWD

I have been reading about CATL supplying a new battery to Shanghai for the Model 3, it has a higher energy density and is claimed to result in a ten per cent increase in range. Google 'Model 3 M3P battery' (insideevs.com among others). As far as I can tell, they may be supplying these from...

Mine just changed similarly, details in sig..

Aaargh ! ooh, good point.

Looking for positives in the delays again.. here is a thought… One of the prospective new PMs has been reported to be considering tax cuts which I thought as a pensioner were awful as I don’t pay much tax until I realised.. a 5 per cent cut on VAT on my Model3 RWD invoice could save almost £2000...

Exactly the same for me 😢

Well, the lovely assistant I spoke to didn’t know what was there as she had only just returned from a few days off so I offered to go see and let her know.. I think she was as surprised as I was that there were a couple of base spec white/black/Aeros there.. Incidentally VINS were of the order...

Just called in at Trafford Centre to see what cars were there, newly delivered.They were busy fitting number plates of the ilk MC22CXX. A couple of cars had the shipping information visible..they had arrived on MORNING CHORUS.. What I was really looking for was the base spec White on Black with...

EDD now September 23rd to September 30th Trafford. Ordered April 11th. M3 RWD White/Black Aeros. Only recently went out to Jan 9 to Feb 23. Liking today’s change better than the previous one !

I suspected I might not be alone. Less paranoid but no less disappointed, although it did occur to me that Dec 29 and Jan 15 are not too far apart, looking for silver linings and all. But hey, it can change again, I suppose.
