Arranged to test drive the PS3 and a M3 on the same day about a year ago. Went determined to love the the Polestar and hate the Tesla, ended up in the M3. As others have already said it was the fact that I couldn't live with the cramped driving position in the PS2 that swung it for me.

I didn't take any, as far as I know no bulbs are really replaceable on the roadside so no kit is applicable.

Definitely do. Fitted perspex UK plates this afternoon. Took about 2 minutes for both plates.

At a very busy Tebay services this afternoon when a VW id3 backed into the next bay, connected to the next but one charger and tried to charge. I explained that Tebay wasn't part of the trial opening to which I got the reply 'but I've got the Tesla app'. Genuine puzzlement ensued... Luckily we...

Collected my LR Blue/Black from Trafford Centre this morning. Looks good all round, no USB/wireless charging. Latest rear lamps. 48% SoC on collection. Looks like it's been washed with an old floor mop. Needs some love. Also needs to play nice with my Podpoint home charge point. Maybe my fault...

Less than 5 hours to go for me. Planning on being at the Trafford Centre by about 11.00am which is slightly early, but not by much. Check list at the ready!

Been checking every day, several times a day for Tesla to update my account to allow me to pay the balance prior to my collection on Tuesday. Nothing. Had a call this afternoon from Tesla CS to remind me that I must pay the balance before collection. :rolleyes: There I was thinking that I could...

4 days and change for me.

Direct line didn't recognise the registration either, but just let me manually input the vehicle details. Insurance certificate has reg number on there, so no issues. Decent price too.

Cheers for that. I'll leave it until they contact me, before next Tuesday hopefully!

Did you have to contact them, or did Tesla finance sort it without being reminded?

Possibly, have you checked in your source code for a VIN?

Jeez. I thought I was cutting it fine with no final contract and invoice with a week to go!

My collection is booked for a week tomorrow, but as yet still awaiting the contract from Tesla (PCP) to appear on my Tesla account. I would like to be parted from my hard earned cash in a timely manner, or is this normal to be this close to collection?

I find myself following 71 plate Teslas ( quite a few round here) until they either brake or indicate, then announcing to my missus which lamps they have. She thinks I've lost the plot.

I'll be visiting those superchargers next September. Doubt they will be as empty then!

Chase Tesla. Didn't think about doing that, but why am I not surprised? I'll give it to Wednesday if I don't hear from them given I collect on the 21st..

Yes, I would have thought that the rear wiring looms would be different because of number of reversing lamps and fogs. Would Tesla be prepared to splice into the wiring loom? Doubtful..

Given how far you've travelled you would think they would be sympathetic to an early pickup. Season of goodwill and all that.

Gloves. Not too late to send a note to Santa for some 'anti soggy cable gloves' for Xmas. Unless you're on the naughty list?

The adventure begins! Hope all goes well on your extended collection journey..

The more I see of the blue, the happier I am that I went for it. Roll on a week on Tuesday!

So happy that you obviously are satisfied with your car. Can't wait until the 21st. Never mind all that Xmas malarkey, I want my car...

And there was I thinking a train across the Penines and a tram to the Trafford Centre was an adventure! Sheltered life I guess...

Likewise. VIN and plate, also picking up from Trafford on the 21st...

A Greggs bacon butty and a cuppa tea are far superior to anything Starbucks churn out. At a fraction of the price. The Greggs app will sit proudly beside the Tesla app on my phone.👍

The message just arrived. Tuesday 21st December at 11.30 at Trafford Centre. Brilliant. So time line is as follows. Ordered LR Blue/Black Aero wheels, no extras on 12th November. SMS on the 19th to say delivery to be scheduled. Found a vin from the source code a day or so later. No further...

Shows some determination, that's for sure.

Looks like protective transport tape to me...

I think there should be one on the mains water and one on where your gas supply (if you have one) comes into the property?

That's the impression I got from speaking to CS yesterday. Here's hoping anyway...🤞

Very sure it isn't mine. 😒

Could be, supposedly should have opened a day or so ago.

Hopefully the Trafford super charges will be fully operational by the time I collect my LR in late December (not confirmed yet, but the CS advisor I spoke to this afternoon says it's likely).

Show up (or not!) where exactly?

I read a lot on here about live chat. Sorry to be so dense, but how do you find these mystical beings? Or are they something you read about but don't exist, like Hogwarts or Narnia?

That's encouraging. Fingers very firmly crossed.

40+ years married mate, fully aware of who's right and I'm wrong by now..:rolleyes: Still, hoping that given I have a vin number in the source code it may be that I have my M3 on one of the two ships inbound with an ETA of around the second week of December?

Dogs doodahs shrinking slightly. My Missus says I'm expecting too much. I'd hate for her to be right (as usual).

Been lurking for a few weeks now while in the 'Tesla non-comms' stage of the process. Ordered M3 LR Blue/Black Aero on the 12/11. Received the 'arrival date being calculated' text on 19/11 and found a vin in the source code a day later. I've sent a couple of speculative texts back asking if I...
