Thanks guys! Had it over a week now and still grinning ear-to-ear. Truthfully the only thing I miss is the wireless phone charging so going to look into retrofit options, otherwise the car is perfect!

Hey guys, I have a 2020 Model 3 Performance with USB-A chargers in the front and I would love to purchase the genuine Tesla retrofit for wireless charging. I don't want a 3rd party one. Anyone have any or know of any for sale? I see one on eBay but it seems to have a USB-C plug which my car...

Just to update this thread I went with the M3P. I have 0 regrets. :D

Thanks! Yes I am aware of the 0-60 my car is supposed to be 5.1 or 5.8 nobody really knows lol and the M3P is 3.0-3.2? So massively quicker. Yes I know about the prices I work for a car dealer (I should have mentioned) so it’s massively cheaper than the current selling prices that I’m picking...

Hello guys, This is a bit of a strange one but I currently own an LFP Model 3 SR+ December 2021. I purchased it brand new from Tesla and I love the car. It has white seats and 19s. I however always wanted the performance one. I have the opportunity to return pretty much the same money as I...

I did around the same miles on my collection day to bring the car from London to Dublin to Belfast. It was easy with Superchargers and we both enjoyed the journey.

Interestingly I had these rear heated seats and wheel from collection day, which is weird?

Thanks for the help guys! I just wondered because when I placed the order it definitely said about the slower 0-60 and bigger range etc. I guess I’ll have to time the 0-60 next time it’s dry lol

Guys anyone here with the ‘new’ Model 3 RWD? Got my V5c today and it’s just registered as a Standard Range Plus, even though they dropped that name? Is this the same as everyone else?

Nice! Is there any change other than reverse lights?

Guys apologies I tried searching but what is the difference with the new lights? I have two reverse lights do I have new or old? Thanks

Yes I did for a lot of the journey and some I drove as well. It’s pretty good!

Still going guys! Back in Ireland, final supercharge before home. Left the house today at 6am and looking like all estimates show it’ll have taken us the full 24 hours. The boat was delayed which helped us in the end! All told the car will have covered 450 miles in it’s first day… after this...

All good so far! Loving the car! Such a nice place to be. We are on our last supercharger stop in a wee random place in Wales. Boat was delayed by 90 mins which meant we just took it easy, no pressure!

Came at 12. They let me have it! Guys I am so so so impressed. No issues at all! I have USBs, Wireless charging And no issues or panel gaps. I am a noob when it comes to super chargers it’s not going too fast at all but cold battery and chargers are full. I took the car as without its final...

Thanks for the help buddy, I hadn’t actually thought of that. Just landed at Bluewater was not fully prepared for the sheer size of this place! Some food and going to chance a circa 12:30PM pickup.

Thanks guys! Quick short flight and I must say I’m impressed with this cheap flight from BA. Seats and legroom etc much better than usual cheap EasyJet etc. Landed early and I think I’m going to fully push my luck and go hours early for my handover. Fingers crossed!

Already forgot my phone and only realised when I landed at the airport lol. My wife and dad met halfway to get it up to me as quick as possible. Total airhead, I blame the excitement. Hopefully that’s all the dramas for today!

Last time I’ll be driving my £900 smoker lol. She’s served me well the last while and definitely the best interior of any sub-£1000 car. Anyway, I digress… COLLECTION DAY BABY!

He must be loving the car! C'mon @Oxstock lol

Hello, another soon to be NI owner here!

Yep! Must have been a batch sent out there!

My heart is in my mouth every time I get a text from Tesla. Got one there 5 mins ago but just about the potential missing USB-C and Wireless Charging.

Yes we have some tests ordered and going to take them an upload results to app tomorrow. Saturday at 2PM. I'm fully landing there at 12... I had asked if I could on the phone and he said it should be ok. So fingers crossed it'll be ok.

@Oxstock where you at my dude?! Today is the day. I want loads of pictures! And also if you turn up early how well they took it because I plan on doing the same lol.

And again, Tesla spying on the forum lol! Got the email an hour after asking my question. I've now digitally signed it came from a company called "SmartSign"

Thanks, I'll keep an eye out for it Thursday/Friday then :)

Guys anyone using the Tesla Loan? Everything on my account just says get ready for delivery. Tesla Luke on the phone mentioned earlier in the week that I would be emailed documents to sign for finance but I checked spam and all and nothing so far!

I spoke to Live Chat and got a girl called Emma. I asked her for the reg for this exact reason and I was told no problem I'll go check. Before she even replied I got the text with it in. :) Around a week before my collection. Try the live chat :)

Reading into it looks actually like I just need to Pickup a Randox test locally and do it through the app on Friday. Must be nice to have shares in Randox at the moment the £18.95 test looks exactly same as NHS test.

Spanner in the works. How the hell can I do one of these tests if I’m only over in London for a day. Might change the boat UK to UK surely no stupid tests needed for boats to and from Mainland to Northern Ireland. **** COVID

Ah yes... when I was 26 I had a great year lol. I changed cars 3 times. All of the below in just over a year. I had so many of those DC5s. The GTR and Supra would nearly pay the Tesla now. They've all gone mental! Anyway! Spam over, sorry :)

LOL Whoops! I'm afraid I'm 31 I'm past the cool kid Youtube age haha. I will document however lol.

3 days 21 Hours left, it feels like an eternity lol! I've amended my bookings so my brother is going to come along for the journey! So at least it'll be some company for the long long drive. He might have to wait outside as I think I read come alone but he'll be OK lol.

If it starts with LRW it's a Model 3. ...😁

It's like playing Wheel of Fortune, where most of the wheel is bad lol.

Ah man, I hope my car has the Wireless Charging I don't want to faff about bringing it back in the future incase the retrofit isn't "clean" and looks botched.

Thanks buddy! Tesla must read these forums 😝 as soon as I hit the button to post that I got a call from Tesla Luke to confirm my time etc. I asked him about the delays etc. and he said my car is already there and there will be nothing or no delays for me. This is the last point of contact before...

Got a text and nearly crapped myself thinking it was a delay. But it was just a confirmation text I believe. I’ve had 2/3 variations of this text over the past few days. Tesla Update - Your Model 3 is scheduled for collection at 14:00 on 11/12/2021 from Bluewater Shopping Centre. Your VIN is...

Thoughts are: it's totally normal. The newer base model RWD now (SR+ name has been dropped) can be charged to 100% every day. The LR/Performance are only supposed to be regularly charged to 80% So in the real world the "baby" Model 3 has as much everyday real world range as the others which...

They register it on day of handover. And yes usually a delay before it will show up on various Reg Checker/HPI and such websites.

My old BMW i3 now handed over to my father. I'm now back in my Honda Civic Diesel with 149k so I am literally counting the days now. :oops: Flight Booked to London City - £68.21 Stena Line Return Boat Booked (Premium/Flexi Ticket) - £172.22 Insurance Changed (£172 Extra per year than i3) I'm...

They need not bother trying this with me lol. I've flight booked (£69) and boat booked (£179) all relying on the time they have quoted. Originally they wanted me to pickup this Saturday and I said no it would need to be 11th. So fingers crossed they don't start any nonsense with me lol.

Totally normal :) Most of those systems will take a few days or a week to update. I work for a car dealer myself as a Sales Executive and have access to Trade HPI and was HPI'ing my Chassis number daily to see if a reg appeared. Until I found out they don't register them until day of handover. 😅

Haha! :D I will maybe get one going... I'll need the moral support lol.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. It's a proper excuse to get a good long drive and to hopefully show those in my family and circle of friends with Range Anxiety that they need not worry. This will be my 3rd EV... and I've already got my father converted (He is purchasing my 2019 BMW i3 120Ah)...

I have 8 month old twins and a 2 year old so I don't sleep anyway! Sure it's all a bit of craic. Picking it up in Belfast 15 mins away from where I work would be no fun!

Oh and these last minute texts/calls to say the cars will be delayed are making me **** myself, I've a wee bit invested in it being the 11th and not changing lol. Had to torture the live chat for my reg as it won't let me book ferry without it. They hit the button then and there and got a text...

Well... I have a shorter drive planned now. Instead of going all the way from London to Cairnryan and direct to Northern Ireland... I'm planning on the Holyhead to Dublin. It means I'm doing more miles in my "home" country where I'll feel more comfortable. Just one small issue (isn't there...

Collection from London Bluewater confirmed on Saturday December 11th :) Flights booked from Belfast to London City Airport (£69 - not bad!) Just working out the best way to get it home i.e. which Ferry lol.
