Picked up my car from Bluewater yesterday and apart from a stain on the boot floor cover, the car was excellent. I used the Tesla Inspect checklist via the browser on my phone (Model Y Inspection | Tesla Inspect UK) to make sure the car was okay and found it worked really well. I found all the...

Tesla CS just confirmed that my car is on Morning Carina which they said is due to arrive on 11th March (slightly earlier than is being forecast on the Shipping Movements thread). For anyone else picking their car up at Bluewater around 17th March, I suspect your car will also be on the same ship.

Tesla CS just told me that my MYLR is on Morning Carina which is due to arrive on 11th March and is in line with what you've been told. @Mr Miserable - do you see any indication that Morning Carina may arrive a day earlier than you originally thought?

Just tried to set up insurance with LV in time for collection of the car on 17th March and they still don't have the Model Y on their system! Bearing in mind Silox's previous post showing the Model Y was the 4th best selling car in Feb (and I suspect it will be the top selling one in March)...

Like you, I've always just used the carpet mats that came with the car and never had a problem. I might, however, buy a boot liner as I have a lot of stuff I need to take down the tip!

Like you, I ordered on 15th October and still only have a date range for EDD in March. Did you check in the source code of your account page to see whether you have been assigned a VIN (search on 'LRW')? I did this and found that they had assigned a VIN which gives me some comfort that a car...

Thanks for posting. Tesla's online UK car manual says this plate should include the max payload information but that clearly isn't the case for Model Ys being delivered in the UK!

Perhaps the best way of resolving the max payload question is for someone with a Model Y to post a photo of the tyre pressure plate which should also include this figure.

There are quite a few conflicting sources of information on this. Our online UK manual doesn't state the maximum curb weight (unladen) for the 2022 Model Y but the Tesla online manual for Singapore does and states that is 2066Kg (although its Gross Vehicle Weight is slightly different!): Model...

It is a bit odd that the net weight of the Model Y seems to have increased on later cars - I thought Tesla were aiming to make them lighter not heavier!

No, the 4219KG figure is the max weight with trailer. Subtracting the top figure from the bottom one gives you the maximum weight that can be towed (1600Kg). To get the maximum laden weight (including passengers), you need to subtract the net weight of the car from the top figure on the VIN...

Could be on Morning Carina which Mr M reckons will arrive in Southampton around 12th March. I have a delivery window of 11th - 25th March so I am keeping my fingers crossed that mine will also arrive around that time!

According to this article the Y5LD battery manufactured by LG that is being used in Europe is 82kWh. I don't think the exact capacity matters - the important thing is that we are getting more range...

I think this video might explain the discrepancy. It would appear the battery size is 82.1 kWh but the "nominal full pack" prior to a software update was 79.2 kWh. What I find interesting about this video is that it would appear that Tesla increased the size of the battery a while ago (in the US...

Yes I think that's correct, the new Y5LD batteries are 82 kWh although the usable capacity will obviously be lower (probably around 77 kWh). The 'Max Net Power' stat of 378 kW is very interesting. According to an online convertor, this equates to 507 bhp which is a lot more than I have seen it...

I think Kithran is right - it is the price excluding the destination/documentation fee and first registration fee

If you just want to delete the EAP option this shouldn't delay your delivery as this functionality can be enabled/disabled remotely by Tesla and doesn't require any hardware changes.

I may be in the minority on this forum but I really like the stock aero covers. I also like the fact that I can easily replace them if they get scuffed, cost £2,100 less, give more range and ride better!

As I understand it, 5YJ is used for Teslas built in the US and LRW is used for Shanghai built cars

Likewise, just had my account updated with estimated delivery date of 15th to 29th March and I also ordered on day 1 (blue, black with Geminis). Whilst I would have liked an earlier delivery date in March, I'm just relieved that it's not going to be May!

Interesting to see that there are already 8 Model Y's on Autotrader for very inflated prices (7 trade and 1 private). Didn't take long!

Yep, same here - very frustrating! I was told by Tesla CS a couple of weeks' ago that I should receive a text around 18th Feb if I have been allocated a car in March.

According to Mr Miserable in the Shipping Movements thread, there are a couple of ships with Teslas on arriving at Southampton on 6th and 10th March (RCC AMSTERDAM and MORNING CARINA respectively) so these cars won't have been allocated yet: 2022 Shipping Movements

For those considering SSD drives, my experience of Crucial SSDs has been good in the past and I see they do a compact 500GB drive at a very reasonable price (although it will need a USB-A to USB-C adapter)...

Same here, ordered on the 15th Oct and turned down a delivery on 19th Feb. Tesla CS told me that I will receive notification on 18th or 19th Feb for a delivery in March. We shall see!

Agree - just sold my F-Pace on Autotrader and managed to get £1K more than WBAC were offering (Motorway and Cazoo offered even less). Bit more hassle but worth the effort in my view. As I'm now having to use my wife's car, I hope Tesla don't keep me waiting much longer for my MY!

I turned down delivery on 19th Feb and was told recently by Tesla CS that cars arriving on the later shipments for delivery in March will be allocated around the 18th or 19th of Feb. It's going to be a long 10 days!

I thought Elon had told them to stop doing this - below is an excerpt from an email he wrote to all staff on 26 November last year: What has happened historically is that we sprint like crazy at end of quarter to maximize deliveries, but then deliveries drop massively in the first few weeks of...

Same here, I changed car spec after a test drive and turned down an offer for delivery on 19th Feb. Now struggling to get my account updated with the new spec and concerned this might delay allocation of a car to me. How long did it take for the delivery team to update your car spec?

Likewise, I have been looking at other options like the Q4 E-Tron or Kia EV6 but I wouldn't want to attempt a longer trip without being able to access the Supercharger network (heard too many horror stories of people being stranded because a charger wasn't working!)

I ordered on 15 October, less than an hour after the email arrived from Tesla so I am keeping my fingers crossed that my recent spec change doesn't push me down the queue. My local Tesla Store is Heathrow so hopefully they will be a bit more flexible with the March deliveries and allow me to...

Just talked to Tesla rep to change my order and he told me that a text would be sent out on the 18th or 19th Feb regarding the allocation of a car for delivery in early to mid March. I assume this will be for the next shipment of cars that will set off from Shanghai shortly. Going to be a nail...

Yes it was a 20 minute drive on a pre-programmed route that they had entered into the sat nav. I also had the opportunity to have a good look around the red left hand drive car that they had on display. I originally ordered a blue car with white interior and standard wheels but decided I...

Finally managed to test drive a MY at Guildford yesterday and as a result decided to change my order. I couldn't see a way of changing this online and couldn't get through on the phone so have sent an email with my request. Sorry if this has been asked before but does changing an order push you...

With PCP you normally only get the option to buy the car at a GMFV figure which is agreed at the start of the contract. As this is just an estimate of the minimum amount they expect the car to be worth at the end of the contract I don't believe it takes into account plate changes (at least it...

MY online manual for the UK still mentions a parcel shelf which looks promising! (tried to post link but it's waiting for moderator approval)

MY online manual for the UK still mentions a parcel shelf which looks promising: Model Y Owner's Manual | Tesla

I also asked about the other upgrades (12V battery, double pane rear door glass, AMD processor, cargo cover) and was told the first cars to the UK will have all of them apart from the cargo cover. She wasn't able to tell me when the cargo cover would be coming or whether it would be available as...

Just got off an online chat with Tesla and was told the following when I asked about the range increase: Yes we have been informed today of the change, a new battery pack with higher energy density, which helps Model Y Long Range AWD achieve a higher range.   The Model Y LR is now with 331 miles...
