Hi guys. Even though I already had mine M3 RWD delivered at the end of March, I kept coming back reading progress of deliveries for you lot. However, the reason I decided to write is to share my experience today and to boost your excitement for when you get your Tesla eventually. Nearing close...

Thanks, for better explanation than I got from Tesla. It’s annoying though since I have game controller connected through hub. I hope that next software update brings Bluetooth connectivity for controllers and therefore push those games to my M3. It’s annoying that they don’t push those games to...

Hi guys, it’s been couple of weeks since I collected my M3 RWD. Thought I give you bit of update whilst you waiting for delivery of your Tesla. 1. Still learning how to drive efficiently as there are many variables. Obviously short journeys are not going to be as efficient as the battery will be...

Mine usually locks when I’m like 10m or 30ft away. Yesterday I went to Asda and it didn’t lock until I was at the Asda door, which is like 50m away from where I parked. But today I came to car with phone in my back pocket and car didn’t unlock. I took the phone out and it unlocked immediately...

Hi all. Second day of owning M3 and I can officially say that my favourite feature on a car is preheating. It’s magical to come back to car and car is nice and warm especially on a very cold day with snow we had today in Manchester. Heated steering wheel takes 1 minute to get warm. Unbelievable...

Hmm, how would you flag this? Through service or call customer services? I’m also missing some arcade games like cuphead and sonic the hedgehog. My son was looking forward to that, especially cuphead.

So I had a play with car, still downloading software updates and enjoyed every minute so far. Autopilot is great. I used it for about 30 miles on motorway during 2 trips and no single intervention. I held steering wheel at the bottom and it didn’t prompt me once to move steering or warnings to...

I left delivery centre with car set up in chill mode to get used to it. Ohh my, even in chill mode it is mega fast on acceleration. No regrets. This is my last post for a while since I’m going to enjoy it for a bit and set all up. Good luck to all who are waiting for delivery. Wish you all...

Apparently they are for US where they have spots roads without speed bumps . Apparently you will loose them in UK on speed bumps.

Quick update, phone connected as key and it shows in app. 9 miles on odometer, apparently there is big car park 2 miles away where they have all Teslas and at the delivery centre they only have Teslas which will be collected on the day. Aprox 70 Teslas handed over every day according to staff...

You will have to be here much earlier. I was here 45 minutes early and my car was already washed and in tent. They have pinned up another cars for collection possibly 11 or 11:30.

More updates. I have spend 30 minutes walking around and trying to find any fault. I’m pleased to say that all is perfect. Boot alignment is great, however seen some other cars here with very bad boot alignment. So if you are unlucky one, book a service appointment because it needs sorting...

So washing process is very simple. They just jet wash car and then is dried with chamois cloth. No shampoo etc. So I guess there will still be swirl marks. I have seen quite a few Teslas with bird poo and dust. I have attached picture of tent with Cars ready for collection and cars lined up for...

So tried my luck and walked in 9:45am. Even though they are open from 10am. They said that collection of cars will start from 10:30 so can’t process before and asked me to go and get some coffee in Trafford Centre. I’m way too excited to walk away from Teslas and decided to walk around and check...

So my collection day has arrived 😃😃😃. I’m trading my car and fuel level is on minimum with 55 miles range. 5 miles before it goes to red. So will not be too bothered if my Tesla is on low charge. However as I was driving to collection centre (which opens in 30 minutes) there were many Teslas...

I will be doing it tomorrow 😁 when collecting from Trafford Centre. Due to collect at 10:30 but I will be there more like 9am waiting impatiently LOL So if you collecting later, I can let you know.

Tesla Eve is here. 26hrs 30 minutes to go. Just got text about charging to 100% after delivery. Wonder if this is standard text or reactive text to 12v battery issues with calibration.

I don’t mind it to take bit longer. From bjorns videos it was 1hr. In terms of blocking other chargers, I’m aware of etiquette even though not own EV just yet. I’m not expecting 15 superchargers to be full as I’m collecting first thing as they open. However, if for some reason other chargers...

I know first 80% is fast but after that it slows right down and possibly takes same time to charge from 80%-100% as it did for 20%-80%. Is there reason to not charge it to 100% on supercharger? I’m getting LFP RWD so thought it shouldn’t be issue.

My wife asked me the other day whilst I was watching yet another YouTube video about Tesla 😂😂😂 “You must know everything about Tesla by now” . I’m long term fan and this will be my first Tesla and after watching hundreds if not thousands of videos, I still think I will be like “where do I...

Ohh, that’s a great news. I was hoping for them to activate superchargers before end of March as it says Q1. I’m collecting on Tuesday so plan is to plug it in immediately to avoid issues with 12V battery calibration and also whilst supercharging I can check the car around properly. I took day...

I just got home from work and whilst driving on M60 I saw 3x Tesla M3 all in white (2x70 plate and one brand new 22 plate.) within 1 minute of each other. Couldn’t take my eyes of them and whilst passing 22 plate one, I had a quick look at boot alignment 😂😂😂 I must be going crazy to check for...

Did you use double sided tape to attach to bumper?

Front number plate looks even better. But I guess you need short private plate for it to look cool rather than standard reg.

Mine Tesla Eve will be next Monday :D

I bought charger from Tesla website and electrician charged £648 for installation (2hrs) including some additional installation of box due to being on TNCS earthing system (whatever that means).

Here is picture of mine. You have bricks for reference. But after measuring width of charger with cable it is 48cm or 19inch.

I'm trading in my car, so might drop it off with nearly empty tank. Didn't see anything in T&Cs about fuel level LOL. At least if my charge level is low, I wouldn't be that bothered 😁

I had mine delivered next day. But then I realised, that I could have saved up to £150 if I bought one from eBay. They are selling them for around £300 unboxed compare to £449 on Tesla.

Wow, same spec as mine. White on white is beautiful. Only 9 days to go for me.

Yep, one of them must be mine. 12 days to go.

I’m undecided between 2 names. KITT after 80s series about Pontiac that drove itself (explanation for those younger ones here 😂) or Baymax since white seats with eyes (check my profile pic) looks like robot from Big Hero 6 (those older ones with kids here will know Disney movie 😂).

Anyone has experience with trading car to Tesla and whole process? I have decided to trade my current car Skoda with Tesla and when I had quote 2 weeks ago I have submitted car mileage as 7200. Since then I did 300 miles and I'm collecting car on 29th (13 days to go or 12 days till Tesla Eve...

See, that is one thing I don't understand with insurances. If you have PPF you are more likely going to protect your car from any small scratches etc. In other way if you are wishing to spend £1000s on protecting paint on your car naturally you want to cherish and preserve your car so therefore...

I don't have any experience, but was considering doing PPF on my M3 front. Had few quotes and best one was from Assetti in Cheshire Oaks. All in all PPF is not cheap and if you looking at getting high quality finish and good material which will not yellow after 2-3 years then you looking at...

Mine was 28th Feb text to schedule delivery date and collection options were 29,30,31 March. So mine was month before. However there might be some getting it later.

TBH once I confirmed delivery date I was much more relaxed and didn’t expect text with reg until week before collection. So I was bit surprised that got text nearly 3 weeks in advance.

I picked earliest available time 10:30am 😃

Yes. Had text with reg on Thursday. ML22***

I’m collecting M3 from Trafford Centre on 29th too 😃 counting every day

I had mine installed on 1st March even though I'm not collecting my M3 until 29th March. So sits there alone for 4 weeks. But at least looks pretty :D Must say that Tesla does one of the nicest charger out there. Simple but beautiful.

I was thinking what ML could stand for (apart from obvious Manchester area 😃) Second part of my reg gave me some idea. Money Laundering 22 LOL See if anyone can guess second part of my reg 😃😃😃

I got my text too with ML22. Countdown is on till collection on 29th.

I have had choice of 29,30 and 31st March from Trafford Centre. Booked 29th earliest possible date :D

Just go a text from Tesla to arrange delivery slot 😃😃😃 selected earliest time and date for pick-up. 29th March 10:30am. Now I can start countdown. 😃😃😃

How unfortunate MY crash after 1 week old. Sentry mode is great and every car should have it.

Try to sell it through Carwow. I had offers of top valuation on their site which was £3000 more than what Tesla trade in offered. Unfortunately I not sold it because I didn't want to be without car for 2 months. I re-listed it today and just waiting for offers. 1-2 weeks without car I can manage.

I ordered exactly same after you posted link to amazon and it arrived yesterday. Box was bit damaged so worried that might need to do return with Amazon but when I opened it, it was fine. Now just missing car :D

Thanks Snowy77. Do you know where to search for freight inventory? I have VIN from source code, so just wonder how to check if it is on GLOVIS.

Just went on chat with Tesla (Thomas) and asked for update on my order. I had text few days ago about car is on its way and that I will receive follow up text with delivery date. So I asked about VIN, if it has been assigned (I can see it already in source code) and if it is in UK already or...
