Loch Fyne pickup back in Thursday. Forgot to post anything about it. Came with a nice gift package and free lunch. Still would have preferred a pickup in Glasgow.

Everything I've read would lead me to believe the car supports 5Ghz. Would be an odd thing to omit these days. It could be a software bug, or a bands problem. My wife's laptop has 5ghz but it's antenna does not pick up some of the lower (maybe higher, been a while since I looked) bands so it...

... I'm listening.

I'm going to read everything b/c I have until Thursday and don't care for surprises, lol.

For me it shows when I expand "payments" and on one of the downloadable documents (forget which one). I only did 1 large 25k GBP downpayment though. So it only shows that and the 100 GBP deduction.

I also have a 22 (N) VIN.

Try calling them. I am going to pick mine up but according to some older posts here many pages back you can have someone else collect it. They said it had required an email but idk what else (hence the recommendation to call them). Hopes this helps.

Huh, so this is what a glimpse at 6 years into my future feels like.

Interesting. I have a plate number and delivery date 17th February, but no VIN in app (on site and paperwork though).

Just received this text: "Tesla Update - Your Model Y License Plate is XX71 XXX Please note that we do not complete the registration process with the DVLA until the day of delivery, for now you can use the make and model to obtain your insurance. Don't forget to familiarise yourself with the...

Similar up here in Scotland (we'll have to drive from Glasgow). "Tesla Update - Only 12 days until you become one of the first Model Y owners in the UK. Enjoy incredible views of the Scottish Highlands on your way from Loch Fyne on 17th February, more details about the day coming soon."

My wife and I were looking at the Q4 e-tron. Once we built it up to match the Model Y though (seats with memory settings, cameras all around) it actually cost more. Granted, we preferred the HUD on the windshield and interior comfort; but the lack of super charger network, shorter range, less...

And that seems to only be the case if you don't have a trade-in, since the only location for those is down South. I saw here many pages ago a couple people saying they will be doing an 8 hour drive.

My wife has Google Chrome on her Mac.

You're joking but knowing this company there's a good chance it will be something absurd that has no tangible value to people who don't worship at Elon Temple. Picking up at Loch Fyne and hoping being in Scotland means less attention from anyone with cameras. Elon was in our con list for this...

Thank you. You're a gentlemen and a scholar.

Nice! Thanks. Do you have a link to yours? There are a lot of options on Amazon.

Nice. Appreciate the reply and it wasn't a call out or anything. Looking for a pet liner also but all the ones on Amazon look cheap. But the Tesla one was so much more than it made me wonder if I was overlooking something that I should consider for pet liners.

Do you know what makes the pet liner so expensive besides the Tesla name on it? I do not know much about the type of product.

My current biggest problem will be that the wife and I will have to drive up in our crappy car to Lock Fyne, and 1 of us will have to drive ol' unreliable back home while the other gets to take the MY. First world problems absolutely, but sucks they picked a location that doesn't have ideal...

Totally understandable. I called my bank too just to see if anyone had done this before. Luckily the person who answered had experience dealing with US companies and said they tend to confuse things by adding the IBAN and such usually for international transfers. You can do multiple across...

I'd have to check my bank details but I had to do the same for my deposit. £25k was the transfer cap on a general transfer with Bank of Scotland, but b/c it was that type of transfer and within the UK, it showed paid within a couple of hours on Tesla's page. Please keep in mind I did not double...

Thank you, good to know they are still being just as vague with everyone else about this supposed surprise. The more they build it up, the harder it will be to impress. Hard to imagine what they can do with different event locations, on different, days, at different times at each location. Still...

Possibly "blindingly obvious" to those who grew up here, and it was why I asked in case I was missing something. I'm American living in the UK and all the cars and motorcycles I purchased in my relatively short life I never cared what the plates said. It's not a factor for us in the same way...

If they're identical I'd buy the cheaper one.

Thank you, appreciate the reply. Seems so odd that it would matter from '21-'22 since the car didn't exist here prior to this point, but I guess a lot of that is automated now? We like to hold onto cars until the wheels are falling off, but it's good to know I wasn't overlooking something...

People keep talking about the '22 plates. Is there a benefit to that besides just having a more recent plate for the Y? This is the first year the car will be here, there is no easy way for the RHD version to be older here. I'm not from the UK so I'm wondering if I'm missing something. Have...

I have a VIN and delivery date for a MY in the UK and we ordered white.

Good to know you saw the same, and I was also going to phone the restaurant today so appreciate the heads up in that regard too. I booked the 11am, makes me wonder, seeing how small the place is, just how many of us will be up there. Thanks again for the update.

Do you know how many options were originally displayed? Curious b/c I had clicked the Loch Fyne one pretty early on day 1, and from then to when I bother to book over a day later it always just showed the same 11am and 11:30am options.

Hello, I did this option, no trade-in, £25k down, pick up on 17th in Loch Fyne. As of Friday I was able to make the down payment. The option unlocked 2-3 working days after selecting the 17th as my pick up date/location.

I received a text the other day about Glasgow getting a Model Y for the show room so there may be some heading this way for test drive.

I have a Pod Point install scheduled for 16th Feb (getting MY on the 17th at Loch Lyne). Have you ever used it and can compare to Hypervolt? I've looked online and it seems reviews simply depend on what site I'm reading.

Just got off the phone. They are treating these like launch events. If you cannot make it the car goes to someone else and you get one from a later boat.

The 17th. The only available times though on that day are 11am and 11:30am. Middle of the work day so I am not sure who they are expecting to make it to that. My American sensibilities makes the distance a non-issue but the time is absurd.

Just received a txt saying my area is "Loch Fyne, Cairndow" I am in Glasgow. White/black/19" wheels.

I'm the Glasgow (or at least 1 of them) who posted. We ordered about as bog standard of a car as you can get. Figured if the colour bugged me that I can get it wrapped in the future. Had black vehicles back in the states and always hated how quickly I could see the dust on them. I'll. Admit...

Hello, I have a VIN, Feb14-28 window, and am all the way up in Glasgow. White/Black/19"

I was quoted around 3.99 through Tesla which is still higher than what I get back home (around 1.89-2). I did not get a quote from my bank but the page mentioned 3.99 as if that was a good deal so I took it as being the going rate in the UK for vehicle loans.

I have received the text and have a VIN in the page source on the website. I ordered the white MY with 19" rims and made the reservation back in 22 Nov.
