Thank you very much for your help. Was sent the files this morning and have done the update. I forgot to take a screenshot of the version number of CAN but noticed the version of the MCU seems to be an older build. dated 09/19/25 (us date) vs 05/??/23. Have also noticed since the MCU/CAN...

Would be really nice is you provided a bit more support. I bought last week your Hansshow V3 7.5 screen for the rear. It was easy to install (despite the ropey instructions). Thanks to some YouTubers who had excellent video guides. However, a few days in the screen freezes and becomes...

Better off using the £50 to buy a couple of buckets, some decent cloths and products like Meguiars Ultimate Liquid Wax and doing it yourself. Thats what I did and happier for it!

...Just do a 'Menace 2 Society' to get some free inductions:p God, I love that movie!

There is nothing wrong with them... if they were priced at £70. For £140 I took them out of the box, put some chairs over them to flatten them out and immediately felt like someone just robbed me... I didn't even feel that way over the Rimextrix! To be honest, I didn't expected my car to not...

She was grubby to the bone from her long journey. All washed and applied Meguiars Ultimate Wax. Not bothered putting Rimextrix Covers on yet as I'm going to hydrodip them a dark satin grey colour. To be honest the Gemini's dont look as awful in person. Went to pick up my kid from Nursery and...

Anyone had any issues with number plates? Finally went for a shakedown cruise after delivery and heard a horrid banging from rear at around 65-70mph - sounded like a panel or something was going to come off. Looking at the car it seems my rear plates are held together with hope! Still waiting...

She rides! And what a beautiful sunny day for a new car! Somehow the AnyVan and BCA guy taking my old lease car away arrived at exactly the same time (8:30am)! AnyVan guy was great - happy to talk through the cars features but I don't do handovers so he was free to continue to spread the joy of...

So true. The moment I test drove a Tesla I realised it wasn't a really a car, it was a personal transportation device. Tesla is a tech company that happens to build products which look like cars for now but their end goal is vastly different from the establishment. A true competitor of Tesla...

Maybe I'm in the minority but I've never cared for handovers. After you've dropped ridiculous amount of money and over-researched the sh*t out of the car for 6 months... I just feel like saying to the dealer...

As you technically have that 'first' gut-wrenching scratch out of the way you can relax and enjoy your car. Do crazy things like park right at the front of a supermarket or park next to the trolleys. When they come to fix it on the 24th just say 'oh those scratches? They were ALL there when I...

Utter madness! It will end up costing about £20 more if Rimetrix ship to UK and duty/customs/admin fees at around £75 - not to mention you will get a silly letter from FedEx asking you to pay Duty first which will take a few days - so will probably arrive at the same time as using myUS anyway!

Last week Tesla confirmed home delivery date of 21st, leasing company only just got their pants on today and told me what I already knew - but at least gave me the reg. Features '2XS' - which sounds exactly how I will be driving it! So just updated insurance which was easy but trying to get GAP...

Just the value of item value! To the poster who mentioned a $135 delivery fee - cant believe they charging so much for delivery to UK direct?? Surely that must include pre-paid customs charges? If that doesnt, then its cheaper to use myUS indirectly as you'll only get stung at customs and admin!

While my MY hasn't shown up yet, my Rimextrix Laminar's just arrived much earlier than expected! Came in less than 2 weeks via MyUS. Had a feeling they would sell out WAY before they started shipping directly to UK (which would only be about £20 cheaper as you would still have to pay for FedEx...

Might be an issue if you have only limited driving experience. You might have more luck with specialist insurers like Adrian Flux or A Plan. I had to go down that route as I wrote off a car 4 weeks after passing my test (not my fault) but as a new driver I didn't know how to gather evidence etc...

Worth playing with the variables - when I moved from street parking to a house with private garage behind a secure locked gate I assumed it would be cheaper - in my case it was more. Apparently thieves like quiet places off street. When I said I would park that car on the road it went down by a...

Which part of London are you in? That's probably it! When I moved from a SW (in a dodgy postcode which classic car insurance refused to insure me) to a leafy 'safe' N London suburb with a drive and a garage - my insurance on my daily trippled!! Cars in that area used to get stolen on order on a...

Not too sure if his patch covers reading but I'm only 30 mins from Reading and 2 weeks ago I used Justin Bucknell for a pretty complex install due to the layout of my house. They did an amazing job fitting a HyperVolt 2 and all in was cheaper than that!! Electrician Bicester, Oxford and across...

For those who collected this week - it's been lovely reading first delivery day stories! Well done to all the early adopters! Really made up for all of you! So - you may have only got some canned water and Jaffa cakes - for your efforts but you were all part of automotive history! Kudos!

That's pretty much it - you get a US Tax Free Florida 'suite' address, then you add the weight (about 9.5lb) give them a screenshot of the order and then choose your onward shipping speed/option. Rimetrix said that they are not shipping those to the UK direct for a while. It was on back order a...

After getting diddly squat from Nationwide (via Hitachi) who were acting as if Tesla are 'being tricky' not replying to their answers I got an email back from Tesla themselves really quickly that my car is built and in transit for Mid March delivery - which from a timing perective was exactly...

I'm with Hitachi and got a similar email today from my leasing company. I have a feeling that after me chasing them - they'll be chasing me to offload a scuffed up, pre-regged 21 plate car that someone else refused delivery off and acting like they have moved mountains to get for me 🤭 I'll wait...

Such a lovely colour the blue with 19'. Looked really nice in the flesh! Well spec'd my friend! Went for stock white as I thought it would hide defects better - plus I love my white weekend car. Although that was before I moved to a village that's a mudpit in winter so will probably regret that...

:) Thanks! Interesting that the demo models are riding stock 19' - the guy at the store said "please dont upgrade to the 20' you will hate it" when I test drove the M3 before ordering the MY. So pleased I stuck with Stock. The guys from Rimetrix say they will be shipping the Laminar's to UK by...

What did you think of it in person? I'm away at the moment in Faro and saw my first MY in the wild this week - a blue one. Nicer colour than I expected! Looked so very different in person than photos and videos! After seeing UK roads awash with MS and M3 my brain couldn't quite comprehend what I...

Sir, You inspired me! Except I went down a different path... Went with "Y??WHY" for just £250 :cool: (obviously ?=my lucky number) ... That to me was far better value than the cost of an Uber to Southampton. Pretty chuffed with my decision!

I my lease guy said it was Southampton because they couldn't get flight clearance for the fleet of StarshipX thats delivering them over UK. So they're all coming out of a Hyperloop built in international waters which also avoids import duties. Fair play Elon, fair play!

Also feel that many will be distracted by all the 'flare' of the event (crawling with press, fan boys and influencers making stupid collection youtube videos) that many wont spot defects then and there. Especially for us leasers. A small suff I imagine I could live with could turn into an...

I wondered why I was getting bombarded all week with emails from my leasing coming and Tesla to ensure all my paperwork is ready for delivery. I'm guessing they are giving all the 21 Plates to us Lease-lads. If I paid cash no way would I take delivery of a reg with 2 weeks left before it looks a...
