    UK 2021 Model 3 Q3 collection and delivery experiences

    Yeah, I absolutely loving it., as I'm sure you will. Regarding the AB, I added it to my insurance from the get-go as I plan to upgrade in the very near future to try it. LV classed it as an 'engine remap' as they did not have any other term they could assign it to and I paid an additional £45...

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q3 collection and delivery experiences

    It is whatever works best for you. I take the seat back and up, with the steering wheel moved forward (easier in an out, not getting any younger :rolleyes:). Then when I get in, hit the brake and I'm lowered down into the cockpit ;)

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q3 collection and delivery experiences

    Thanks. I'm certainly enjoying it. It's a real pleasure every time I sit in it. Even the small things like the easy entry, when you put your foot on the brake it's like being lower into a cockpit :D

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q3 collection and delivery experiences

    I hear what you are saying. I stay not too far in Bonnybank, they are pretty rare around these parts, but it is still strange how many you do see, though not too surprising since we now have a vested interest ;)

    UK 2021 Model 3 Q3 collection and delivery experiences

    I have had my blue/black M3LR for nearly one week. Collected it last Saturday from Glasgow. Extremely simple process. Showed them driving licence, signed the iPad and they left me to it. Only problem, when I got to the car it would not unlock, so there I am standing there like a right numpty...

    Glasgow collection

    Change of plan for collection next Saturday in Glasgow. No longer getting the bus from Fife and walking. Travelling through on Friday afternoon with my wife in her Zoe. Going to Scotstoun to watch Glasgow Warriors vs Newcastle Falcons in a pre-season "friendly". Staying at Hilton using loyalty...

    Reading through the posts on this subject, the experience I have had with my SA seems to be the exception as opposed to the rule. Though, it may be just that it is the typical British persona were the poor experiences make more headlines than the good experiences. I know it must be frustrating...

    Insurance UK

    Agreed. I found LV best. 2 car policy (M3LR with AB and Zoe iGT), with my wife and son (1 claim) on both cars ~£500, though the tesla excess is £500!

    Glasgow collection

    Cheers. It looks like 5 minutes from the bus station and I should be on Kennedy street and I just follow that all the way to the service centre.

    I'm the same, coming from Fife. I plan to get the bus from Halbeath P&R direct to Buchanan street bus station (~1hr 25mins) and according to google maps its a 13 minute walk.

    I had the same excellent experience with Motorway. Accepted the offer (substantially more than Tesla). Inspection and collection was arranged 2 days later and the money was in my account before the driver left after the inspection.

    I'm collecting mine 4th Sept. My SA confirmed it is on the GLOVIS SUMMIT. I believe I could have collected it earlier, however I wanted to hold out for the 71 plate and the 4th was the earliest slot I was offered.

    I did the very same thing last week and sold my VW Tiguan using Motorway and I got £5k more than Tesla offered. The second-hand market is currently buoyant. Selling your car will not affect the delivery. Tesla just altered the details on my account and submitted an invoice for the full amount.

    I had a 3 year old Tiguan Bi-turbo diesel, soon requiring a service and its first MOT with 23k miles. I was offered just shy of £25k from Tesla. Motorway, WBAC, Goodbye car all estimated around £28.5k and I was expecting the final offer to be less. I went with Motorway, where the car goes into...

    Did you get a decent part exchange offer from Tesla? The offer I got wasn't great and I manage to get £5k more using Motorway, which was very efficient. My car was bought and collected by a VW dealership in Derby. The second-hand market is buoyant at present

    Finally sold my Tiguan bi-turbo dinosaur fuel. It is a great time to sell second hand cars. Since we are getting back to some form of "normality", there is a big demand as people want transport asap. So I reapplied for online quotes from several companies and most of them increased. I finally...

    Good dodge, mines was due end October, though it doesn't matter so much these days as you get a refund. As I bought my Tiguan new almost 3 years ago I was always going to take a hit. Though the offers I am getting equate to over 62% of the original value, which I am quite happy with.
