Wheels and tyres sold subject to collection.

Still available, it let me send you a PM so hopefully you can see and respond. 👍

As my P3D will be going soon (long story), I'm selling my all season tyres I bought around a year ago for winter use. 4 x Goodyear Vector 4seasons G3 235/45 R18 98Y XL, MFS, 3PMSF on 4 x Brock B32 Matt Black 8.5x18 ET40 5x114.3 64.2 Ideal tyres for wet UK winters. They have 7mm of tread as...

I noticed the low speed limits persisting when driving with 2021.4.18.2 on Monday, I was going through a series of 30 limit villages on a 60 road and it just wasn't switching back to national speed limit. I don't remember seeing a sign persisting on the screen though. It worked fine when driving...

So far I'm liking the speed percentage option but I wish it applied to the speed limit warning too, I have the chime on because reasons.

I'm particularly pleased about that as quite a few of the speed limits around here are still wrong. Hopefully not for much longer as sign recognition seems to work well.

Installed on mine this morning, won't be driving it today as I'm working from home and sadly I don't have time to go out to it but I'm looking forward to the new features.

To my surprise my Model 3 doesn't have the PWS speaker enabled, I thought it was mandatory now but I understand that it's the case. Anyway it seems a shame to let that speaker go to waste. I assume the speaker is in there anyway, I haven't checked but that shouldn't get in the way of a fact...

I wouldn't mind seeing a more physical control for wiper speed, not that I think it's necessary when auto mode works well. Something like double press the stalk button, hold on second press and adjust with right scroll should be easy. Personally I think the driver was doing something else on...

I've just been notified of this, looks like I might be the first Brit on here to see it but it is midnight here... Will install it tomorrow.

Bit of a bump to this, scraped the left front wheel yesterday while getting out of the way of some idiot outside sitting in the road outside my house yesterday, absolutely livid. Bought some of this touch up, it claims to be steel grey so hopefully it will be close enough. I just want it to be...

More blue Model 3s! Had the ceramic coating applied to Nebula last week (Autosmart Matrix Black) and immediately got some photos. It rained that night so she's less than spotless already, I was more concerned about the birds leaving their mark on the bare clear coat though. Aiming to wash...

Installed tonight, no problems. I'm too far away from the house WiFi so tethered with my phone, no issues. I chose to stay in the car while it did the update and nearly cr*pped myself when the contactors (I assume that's what it was) clunked for the first time.

A couple of iPotato pictures of me fitting my console wrap tonight as the light was fading, I waited for the interior to cool down after it apparently hit 42 degrees in the sun earlier. This is the Abstract Ocean brushed black that I bought from MikeeUK.

Mine has some of the same residue on the passenger door car but nowhere else, it has faded with a very dilute APC but I'll have another look when I get a chance. I found a couple of bits of glue on the centre console while fitting my vinyl wrap that came off easily with a microfibre. Great to...

It's a great colour, in some lights it looks as dark as the blue on my Disco 2 behind it but once it catches the sun it looks completely different.

Just the one photo of mine from today, hope to get some more tomorrow.

Yep, fingers crossed for you. I didn't hear anything until I got a call an hour before it arrived, was getting concerned. I needn't have worried though. Definitely looking forward to Maccies opening up again. Been through and picked up a couple of small things: the panel gap at the front of the...

Mine just arrived, on the back of a truck instead of being driven as expected so it's fully charged. Type 2 cable was included and the first look over while wiping down the touch points with anti-everything is very positive. Gaps look good, roof panel is close to central and trip looks good...

53 for me, not bad. The girl I arranged everything with was confused about the number of miles before returning and convinced herself it was 1000, I didn't correct her. Hope I won't need it anyway. I have a stash of anti-everything wipes I bought for a roadtrip last year, they do specifically...

That's what I've been told. I'd rather they didn't but it isn't too far and it's better than waiting another 3 weeks or more to see it.

I haven't specifically been told that I won't get a cable but I forgot to ask, it'll be interesting to see if/when it arrives tomorrow. No further updates, no changes to the account after the new VIN appeared and no changes to the app.

3D printed myself a set of these today. They won't look factory but who cares? I probably won't use them much.

I took the chance to get a deal on a 60GB data plan for my phone as I'll never be able to get close enough to the house for WiFi, fingers crossed that should work OK for me.

It's a while since I listened to that, good soundtrack. Daft Punk seems appropriate, Probably Robot Rock or Television Rules the Nation for me. Got my name sorted too, going for Nebula after the Marvel character. She's blue like the car and it just sounds right.

Purely to satisfy my curiosity, do you mind telling us how much the transporter cost you?

Sorry to hijack this somewhat. 7KW Polar pillars for me, bring your own cable. Indeed! I will have to run a cable out across the pavement and use this initially to get some juice in the car while I'm still at home.

I just looked at the prices, they're quite steep! I hope mine comes with one as I'll be using public charging only. Chargemaster list the same cable on their website but they're out of stock too. Type 2 to Type 2 Cable - 4m 1 Phase – BP Chargemaster

It's just in this situation of moving cars around under lockdown, they clearly aren't put in the cars until they get to this country and in some cases Tesla aren't getting the chance to do it. I understand that they will be sending people cables later on. Screws you over if your only option is...

I'm in the midlands and I'm now getting a (presumably inventory) car from Birmingham. They certainly had transporters visiting your area before the end of Q1, I think they're reluctant to pay for more. Just signed my delivery declaration to allow delivery on the 9th. It does seem that you...

Interesting, I just had a call to confirm driven delivery on the 9th but forgot to ask about the Type 2 cable. Not an issue in the short term but 'normal' charging when I'm back at work will rely on having one. Edit: Transporter probably means it's coming from Southampton so no chance for hands...

Did you wax or seal it when you had finished washing? Those products should help repel dirt, ultimately a ceramic coating product is one of the best ways to repel water and dirt. The properties mean that just driving through a shower can actually lift off the dirt and clean the car for you.

Birmingham is getting stuff done, had and signed my agreement. Suggested I might be scheduled for delivery on the 9th, fine by me.

Was that your original delivery choice? I stupidly went for Solihull before realising that it's just a store rather than a proper delivery centre.

I called 01628 450604, it's the correct number for Brum but I ended up with Amsterdam. You may be luckier or they may call you back. Sorry to hear that the leasing companies are being a royal pain, they seem bad enough when there isn't something like this going on. Edit: Hidden VIN has...

You should be fine, apparently leases are different so can be delivered like mine can't or actually can. I told her Binns are working, she only knows what Brum were told so it's likely that only cars from Southampton were being put on trailers. I didn't ask Binns about any specific jobs, I bet...

After my email with deliveries I had two calls with a very helpful girl at Birmingham whose name I missed. First I was told that while I could be re-matched with an identical car that wasn't trapped in Solihull (where I thought mine wasn't), I couldn't have it delivered because I'm on PCP...

Followed up with an email confusing things further, about the vehicle being moved to Birmingham and that they won't pay for a transport company because they're staying open for deliveries. He claimed that the phone line was bad but I could hear typing in the background before I was cut off...

I'm in Harborough so if they had both it would be great, however it sounds like they're in different parts of the country for some reason. I called Binns anyway and the chap was happy to talk, Tesla's last booking with them was the 31st (no surprise) and they apparently couldn't get the budget...

DrBobM had his Model S delivered by Bristol yesterday in that thread but that would've been organised before quarter end and was personally delivered by Bristol staff I believe. Hoping for some kind of communication today as that's what the chap in Amsterdam told me. Mine escaped from the port...

That's the first delivery I've heard of in April, interesting. Glad you got it without waiting months.

Despite this I didn't get the same feeling after the conversation yesterday, I don't know how long my car had been in Birmingham for but I don't think anyone would've contacted me to try and get it delivered. I do think they will lose interest now but I hope not.

I'm planning to get a set of AlloyGators fitted as my insurance policy but I'd be interested in what's available.

So how many more people on here are waiting for cars from the GLOVIS CAPTAIN that aren't being held by a lease company?

AC Binns is based down the road from me in Kettering, presumably your car was on the transporter seen on the A43 yesterday! Small world innit? Once again it's great to see you finally getting your cars. Cute Mini too.

Lovely cars, congrats! I’m permanently impatient, even when I know it will be worth waiting for.

That seems a push considering they're already delivering cars (by their own request) to non-key workers or priorities.

Just got off the phone with a helpful chap in Amsterdam (I only knew he was in Amsterdam after he called me back - a call back from Tesla!), my car is now at the Birmingham city delivery centre and he was happy to arrange collection! Yeah, nah. Too far and too risky. Passed to the delivery...

Yeah I'm going to call and see anyway as if I'm likely to wait a month I may as well cancel my insurance. There's no point paying for a month of insurance I can't use. Thanks. Not long now!

That would make sense, can't imagine they will care much once Q2 starts as there's nothing in it for them. Good stuff, good to know they're dealing with key workers at least even if they are having to be chased.
