    Tesla vision only - no radar from 2022 Q2 cars

    This won't be correct. It will be a software update which all cars will eventually receive whether they have radar or not. As a software developer, maintaining one less input is much preferred if it can be dropped safely. All vehicles whether they have radar hardware or not will eventually be...

    Could be the same at £121 for the full set? https://m.aliexpress.com/item/1005003012443925.html?gatewayAdapt=Pc2Msite&spm=a2g0o.9042311.0.0.38b14c4dd4AVOZ

    Indeed. I've moved to the Facebook group as it's mainly just quick questions now.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I did it a number of days after having a delivery time frame (sometime in March). I went through the link, didn't "do" anything (just signed on) and got a text offering me three days to choose from not long later. Either coincidence or it triggered the text by me visiting the link and logging in.

    HyperVolt Charge Points [megathread]

    Think this is the best thread to post on. Just looking for a quick sanity check... I have an installation booked for the 17th March for Ohme Home Pro charger for our Model Y to be delivered the following day. It will be installed to our garage about 8 meters from our house where we get a...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Isn't the "issue" that there is no such thing as a latest spec model when it comes to Tesla? Ford might bring out a freshed model each year, but since Tesla are constantly innovating, what's produced this month is different to what was produced last month. As someone said, there are notable...

    I'm curious: without having experienced a Model 3 and version 11 excluding, I assumed they had an identical interface? What sorts of things are different?

    Model Y UK Insurance Quotes Gone Live

    To part answer my own question, I've had a response from their support team after reaching out over their online chat: So whilst I'll get back to them once I have my registration (picking up on 18th March), I'd be interested if someone who already has a registration could get the ball rolling?

    Model Y UK Insurance Quotes Gone Live

    Has anyone had any information from bymiles? Their Model 3 quote (for comparison) seems very good value and I like the idea of only paying for what you use. I'm quite sure I've been over paying in insurance since working from home!

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I'm due to collect on 18th March in Manchester. I'm trading in my old car and I assume the balance for this will just be transferred to me? Is it too late/possible to arrange instead for it to be knocked off the balance of the Tesla loan to reduce the monthly payments? What would be the best...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Can't find this being asked/answered, but with the recent news of matrix lights in America, do we know if the latest batch of Model Y's to the UK have matrix lights already? Am I right in thinking that lots of cars (including new Model Y's) have the new lights, but none of the cars are software...

    Does anyone know if visiting this link and seeing (but not selecting!) available dates triggers a text from Tesla? Coincidentally, I've just got a "select a date" text a few hours after visiting the link.

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Wonder why they allow us to select a date via a secret link before it's been released to us. Useful - gives me time to decide a date :)

    What's the method for checking the ports? I don't have a wireless charging phone, but for the ports: Just check it charges a phone and should it allow connection for data (eg audio tracks) to be played?

    Which I assume would additionally require the Tesla premium connectivity at a further £9.99 per month?

    Indeed. Whilst I'm sure all issues will be fixed, I'm also a little curious if there was anyone obviously spotting problems or did everyone drive away pretty quickly (and therefore happy)?

    For those who just got texts and arranged an 8th March delivery, what was your original estimate? Was it the early or latter part of the estimate? My estimate is currently 3rd - 17th at Manchester.

    I'll be considering one of these: Retractable Rear Trunk Cargo Cover for Tesla Model Y 2020-2022 My main concern would be sound dampening. So I guess I'll see how it is on various road surfaces first. It's not like I'm swapping from a silent car by any means, but with it being "electric"...

    I hit accept on both my trade in and financing this afternoon. Once I'd confirmed everything, I was sent to a page with the vin in the source code and "Estimated Delivery: March 03 - March 17". So I think the answer is, you have your place on the queue and it is revealed to you when you have...

    Just seen this Intel Atom vs AMD Ryzen processor comparison. Can anyone with a Model 3 confirm it's accuracy? Without having any experience, I'm surprised at the apparent sluggishness of the older CPU. Probably a really good thing we're getting the newer processor.

    With historical experience from the Model 3, does anyone know if there's benefit to Direct Line being Tesla’s partner insurer? Lower costs? Better service and understanding of the tech?

    Not sure where in the country you are, but Manchester has test drives. I've got one for 10th. https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/event/drive-model-y-trafford-centre Edit: I guess you're in London by your username. London was doing drives, but the vehicle may have moved. Since the Y is new to the UK...

    Did you need to call up to arrange that specifically? I can't see the MY on direct line's site yet.

    Ah fair enough then. Still interesting now China is manufacturing MY's with parcel shelves, except for RHD configurations though.

    I asked about the parcel shelf and tried to be as specific as possible. My email: With the UK Model Y deliveries just around the corner, I'm looking to find a conclusive answer about the inclusion of a parcel shelf with the Model Y's as I've been reading conflicting information. Since the UK...

    V5C trade in question. Tesla need a picture of page 3 from the V5C form. In getting this, I realised I hadn't updated my address from when we moved house. My fault, so I've just requested an update now. Does anyone know if I can still submit a picture of the current page 3? I assume the...

    So my trade in finally got processed. I next need to hit accept on the Tesla loan. Due to the trade in value, it now shows a negative amount due. Does anyone know what happens with that? Do I just not pay on the loan until the trade in amount has been "spent"?

    This is one item which I feel they should honour. Surely with it being in the manual, it's equivalent to it being specced (and therefore expected)?

    I assumed payment would be made on delivery day after successful hand over of the vehicle after you were happy with it? Is it not a little premature otherwise?

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Yep - it's why I've not gone for them as I see cars being purely functional. That being said, I also chose the red paint, but mainly (I think) for its function to stand out a little more in a sea of white so it's easier to spot in a massive car park.

    Anyone know the answer to "What type of alarm and/or immobiliser does the car have"? Unsure if the alarm/immobiliser is Thatcham approved... And I assume this is a yes - "Is the car fitted with a tracking device?".

    Charging location issue at home with garage

    Try not to be too regretful - "electricity in the garage" might still not have cut it. We fought to have "lights and sockets" installed to our 2019 new build knowing we'd eventually have an EV. Unfortunately after speaking to some installers, it now turns out the supply isn't good enough for a...

    When getting a charger fitted, apart from the obvious (cable length), does it matter where it is fitted? If its on the other side of the garage, is it sensible to dangle the charging cord from the roof beams when not in use? Tesla's have their ports on the left I think. Are there any stats for...

    As someone who hasn't yet had a test drive, do we know where the test cars are being moved to? I assume we can drive them elsewhere... I'm quite sure I'll have no major complaints about the car, but equally I think it's wise to drive one before purchase if at all possible.

    So, given I'm still waiting for my trade in offer, but have had the tesla loan finance approved, what happens when it is? Can the trade in be used against the loan or do I have to manually over pay? I assume there are no overpayment charges?

    I think the question is: when this later boat arrives. I think someone said there are two in route. This one, and one for early March called Viking something. I doubt it's literally to the back of the queue, more likely just to the same spot as those (me) that didn't receive a text.

    For those that are spread across the country, perhaps the event is only unique in nature and there's actually a few at the same time. Perhaps one in each of the UK's countries given someone said they were in Belfast?
