Sorry - just seen this @PMCM - Variant E5CD, Version BGB1S5N - happy for you to decode for me!?

Didn't realise this thread was here but I collected yesterday, LR AWD white/ white that came in on TALIA. It's in perfect nick and a lot "tighter" build than my previous M3 which was a 2019 Freemont one. Happy to answer any questions if anyone has any and please do enjoy your cars when they come.

Yes, excellent quality, much better than my previous Freemont one.

Just for interest - I collected my LR today having sold my 2019 P- this week. (Used Cazoo by the way who gave me a good price and no quibbles at all). Observations? The China built LR I collected today does feel a bit "tighter" in terms of build and quality. The acceleration doesn't feel...

So I reckon that today is the first day that feasibly anyone could collect an M3 that came in to Southampton on TALIA. Seeing as I collect my LR tomorrow (decided to sell my 2019 P- as the resale price was so good) I'm curious to hear whether there's any surprises with batteries or features. I...

Ordered on Sep 9th, white with white interior. AWD LR. So same as yours but with a white interior instead.

Yes

Mine seems fine. Web site for scheduling was working and I’ve had a confirmation email.

I've just had a delivery text, collecting on November 4th. Ordered (AWD LR white/ white) on September 9th. I don't appear to have a VIN in my source code. This will be my second M3, will be selling my much cherished M3P- and getting an updated model.

Mine is also a M3P- or stealth M3P. When entering the reg into WBAC, for example, it recognizes it as "MODEL 3 SALOON - Performance AWD 4dr [Performance Upgrade] Auto" - which seems accurate to me?

How does the process with Motorway actually work, ie what are the steps involved? Thanks

You won't need to take anything on the chin. You don't pay it in the first year.

To finish this one off - the rear reflector part from Tesla cost 20.70 GBP including postage. The damaged reflector was clipped in and was removed using a couple of tyre levers from a bicycle puncture repair kit. The replacement then just clipped back in simply. Easy job even for me, and I'm...

Ok - I now have the part from Tesla - don't suppose anyone has previously taken off a damaged reflector and put on a replacement?

Update - in true Tesla style I have no response to Tuesday’s email other than the automatic reply saying they’d reply within 24 hours....

Yes, this has confused me too. (thanks to Chalks99 though) If so, how would they be powered? I'll wait and see what Tesla spares say and report back. Even though its a small problem, it'll possibly be a common one.

will do!

Thank you guys, thats helpful. I've emailed them.

Hi all, Somebody has reversed in to my M3 and cracked the rear driver's side reflector. It was fairly low impact, and there's no other damage. Where do I go to get a replacement and are these easy to replace? Is it a DIY job? Thanks

Just coming back to this one. I'll not be looking for any compensation for this. Although it was inconvenient, I am happy that once Shell were made aware they dealt with it politely and promptly. Also, I'm not really sure what the signage was or what the actual parking policy was, therefore I'm...

Ok - just to close the loop on this one as it may be useful to others down the line. I sent a copy of the parking notice along with a screenshot of my charging record from Teslafi a couple of days ago. Shell have been in touch this morning to let me know that the parking ticket has been...

nope, it’s a bog standard Shell petrol station. I have emailed Shell today and will update the thread when I get a response. I’ve also sent them the PCN as well as my charging record from Teslafi which confirms I was charging for 57 minutes of the 61 I was there. Will keep you updated!

Yes and funny enough I have used both of those chargers (Heathrow and Northampton) and there's clear signage on both so I happily reported in the way they asked with no problem. Funnily enough I've just logged in to the Shell App which recommends/estimates that to charge my Model 3 from 20% to...

I recently tried out Shell recharge when staying with some friends over half term. I charged at the Shell Recharge in Whyteleafe. It worked ok using contactless. Teslafi says I started at 18% and charged up to 71% and this took 57 minutes. It felt quite slow but I was in no rush so sat in the...

I've watched this really closely for several months and I think the only advice I'd have is to wait and see how they do it and don't assume anything! There's loads of contradictions on top of a few changes of tactics. Whichever way you look at it, everyone is going to be getting more than they...

I'm confused - why not just go and collect the original order tthat you wanted today? Then cancel the second choice that you didn't want as much? Bish bosh job done!?

I just heard from Tesla that my vehicle has been allocated to somebody else due to some confusion between ports that has led to some collections due for the north being cancelled. I’d imagine this explains those flurry of lost VINs the other night. At the moment I am back to square one, and...

I’m down for a Leeds collection. Will have to see what occurs in the next few days. Was feeling quite attached to my little VIN too!

Mine has disappeared too...wonderful stuff!

Mine was also last seen on the 30th in Philadelphia and not seen again - until yesterday- when the guy on the phone cool as a cucumber said it was in the Atlantic. Now this was before the Oslo set off so if he’s right it’s not on that - but then again maybe he’s mistaken. It’ll be here when...

I haven’t called them until today as I didn’t want to be a pain however I just followed your suggestion. The helpful chap sent a GPS ping then told me my vehicle has left and is in the middle of the Atlantic.Was in Philly. No idea how but some are on their way already. ‍♂️ ETA towards end of...

Ha thanks! I’ve not spoken to anyone for a while although I will tell you this: when I last spoke to Tesla (actually when I was in the US and went in to a store) they told me that my vehicle was last seen on August 30th, having arrived in philly on 24th. I don’t know whether it was put in to...

Ok - I’ve been following this Philly story for quite a while now as this thread testifies! Ha! Anyway - quite a few assumptions being made here. I wouldn’t take as gospel that UK delivery would know categorically whether this is going to Zeebrugge first (it may be, but wouldn’t be sure they’d...

Yes, but you’ll have seen that it’s not usually scheduled to stop in Philly at all - so it’s a different routing this time around for some reason....

That’s a great spot. Worth keeping an eye on that. I’ll try and get some confirmation!

You could be right but I’m in the UK and that’s where my vehicle is coming from as I heard that from multiple people at Tesla.

We’ve got a blank on Philadelphia but there are several hundred RHD that have been, or still are at, Philadelphia. Some of them arrived a couple of weeks ago so they’ll be on the way before the quarter end I am sure. Otherwise what would have been the point?

What was the date when the spec changed, does anyone know?

“Towards the end of September” is the word from Tesla for mine which is one of the ones coming through Philadelphia. Not sure that is very useful for ship watchers but there you go!

I don't think that is out of the question at all but have no way of knowing. Based on precedent I would say that seeing as I've had no account activity at all then my vehicle must still be sat in Philadelphia. However, on the other hand I can't see why Tesla would go to the trouble of carting...

my wife talked me in to it and obvs she has very good taste ;) Hasn't arrived yet though.

All I know is that the VIN that is in my source code was tagged at Philadelphia docks at that time, I was told in store. I don't know anything since that and don't really want to hassle the staff any more about it so haven't gone back to ask for anything further. BUt I am confident that the...

Thanks for the headsup @geneclean55 . I really aren't experienced enough to know whether this is possible or not, although it seems there have been no vehicle carriers out of Philadelphia so i am expecting shipping via container ship (like they've done for all the Aus markets). The dates tie in...

I was told in store.

FWIW @leewillis77 my VIN 4639xx was last seen in Philadelphia, so presumably a bunch of vehicles from the 20th July registration batch are coming across that way too.

Hmm. I see no reason why that would not be accurate. Maybe one for @geneclean55 to comment on? We do know though that there are a bunch of Model 3 RHDs that have been through Philly with the aim of expediting deliveries and they have to get here somehow!

Thanks! I'll keep an eye on where they go next or otherwise suggest your earlier suggestion of Oceanic must be the one.

Well at the risk of taking what people have told me too specifically, I was told by a Tesla employee today that he understood that they were coming straight to the UK from Philly without going to mainland Europe. I also know that my vehicle was in Philly from the 25th. I had already been told...

Yes, it's hard to guess really but you may be correct. Hard to know how many are coming this way too. You don't think they'll be using container ships in smaller numbers? Have they ever done that?

I really don't know. I was hoping that mine was on the way over already as I know it's been there since the 25th August but I really have no idea.
