Well everyone, I hope Mr Musk has kept you entertained and that your new toys were all worthwhile. I will try to find some time this weekend to really get familiar with mine, and maybe get the ceramic coating done too. It’s been a pleasure sharing my journey with you and I appreciate all your...

I finally did a full audit on the car using the Tesla prep app and nothing found at all. 10/10 for quality and function and I wouldn’t change anything about it, and home charger running faultlessly as well. I will check in until Saturday with others still likely to post their photos so I can...

I had a quick look at mine as your comments prompted me to do. My photos are attached and I honestly see no issue and I can’t tell if they are better,same or worse than yours so would be chuffed to hear how you get on with the service guys fixing them. The “gaps” are even and the crease lines...

@TheRealWatto I had a quick check on paint surfaces just now. I can say with complete honesty there are no fine scratches or swirls on the paint on any panel. It’s 100% mint! I will get it fully detailed at the weekend in prep for simple foaming and pressure washing (as I have done for my...

Haven’t had rain yet which is so odd given I reside in south west Scotland! I’d imagine aerodynamics will push the water off fine. No wiper is one less thing to go wrong.

2022.28.2 is the car and the charger is pi4.202207050945.68572d9

I’m going to check mine later today and post photos for an opinion of headlamp fit as I don’t think mine are different to yours and I don’t think yours are faulty. However, you’re a seasoned Tesla owner and I’m a total newbie of less than 24hrs but moved over from 30yrs of Audi and bmw...

Car had 154m of range and close to 50%. I did though experience a wee issue later when my hypervolt, after a quick 25min check that it was working ok, wouldn’t charge at all later in the evening. The car claimed the fault was with the charger so I resolved to call hypervolt this morning...

I was the 46th out of 47 collections at Glasgow today. They have another 40ish cars being handed out on both Thursday and Friday and were driving cars onto the site when I picked mine up, but didn’t see where the truck was parked. Handover was courteous and done in minutes. Car was immaculately...

At my home office desk to get some hours in before making the trek to Glasgow by train (1 way ticket) to meet up with Hogarth. Walking to my home station and then out to Tesla should calm me down a bit but have a feeling I will be smiling to everyone on the way as well. Weather is superb and I’m...

I read on one of our threads, so long ago I probably couldn’t find it now, that some MY owners were, or were planning on, waving/smiling at fellow MY owners in town as they passed. Has this caught on? I wouldn’t want to be rude tomorrow evening on the home after picking mine up! Also...

Have you got onto the standby list. I know it’s not an official thing but just in case a spare car does come about?

You must be at the front of the Q4 squad.

You’ve probably given mr musk a reason to increase the price at the weekend. In truth he’s already onto it and a lot of folks are gonna be wanting a general election yesterday to start the process of fixing the omnishambles that is now the British economy.

If you’re south west of Glasgow then you surely will.

Well, Tesla called an hour ago to check I’m all set for collection. Car is on their site and they just need me and my driving licence to show up and would be ok if I arrived a bit earlier too. So single ticket it is then, and it will just be me because mrs Bob screwed up her diary and she’s not...

My pcp is 4 years and with the max deposit paid and ala have confirmed I need to buy for the whole of the term I intend to keep the car. Just checked a few others and ALA are most competitive. However, my base insurer will pay market value but not really sure if this means above list price I paid.

Yes, you should see the credit and new balance. However when I did this a couple of weeks ago, it didn’t show up until 3 or 4pm ( maybe Texas hours?) but it did show every time.

Just checked and direct gap is 499 c/f ala 470 which drops to 352 with code. Do you have a significant code saving for direct?

I’m still undecided on gap insurance (ALA appear to be best and code MSE25 gives 25% off). Good luck with pick up. It’s Tesla eve for me and I have a meeting in Glasgow centre tomorrow. Do I take a single ticket on train and run the risk of last minute hitch with late afternoon pick up or get a...

🤷🏽‍♂️

Might see you around if it’s Wednesday. Thankfully I’ve not been mucked about like a few folks on this forum so hoping this doesn’t invoke Murphy law.

Between the 2 front seats to stop front seat passengers banging heads in a collision. Check out latest NCAP safety review on YouTube and you’ll see it in action and to make you sit up and think wow - check out the results v other cars. It’s out in front by a long way. Model Y Earns 5-Star...

Prediction: MYLR will go to £61090 at the weekend and interest rate will go to 7.5 to maintain the dollar income stream for Tesla. When it does, on top of the mortgage rates which many will never have encountered (let alone the 15% some of us paid in the early 90s), the waiting times will drop...

Don’t tell Bainsy or chimpy mcchimp as I think they were trying to get on the last minute list.

I think you can text them back. Hope you can get your car down your drive ok as the dimensions seemed quite tight. Looking forward to seeing yours as mine is same spec and I pick up in 48hours. Just spotted neural network’s car and I feel we all made the right choice. Have fun and best wishes.

No, order what’s in your heart with the knowledge that you can change it if you prefer something else before you lock down your preferred arrangement (cash, pcp or hp) in a month or 2. If you change spec to higher or lower cost items this will be reflected in your deal but will be based on...

You should order now to lock in price and finance rate but you can keep the spec open for a spell and then switch colour and wheels in a month or 2 using the app. If allocated a car for Q4 you can delay and be more certain to get in Q1 2023 (probably march). Finance rate and/or price will likely...

Take it to a trusted tyre repair place and not one of the “bash it about” squads who’ll look after your wheels whilst they get the tyre off and fix it. Hard luck my friend but you shouldn’t have anybody trouble getting it repaired.

I’ve also experienced the “twat magnet” phenomenon and have often done what you did. Please don’t hate me but I often park on the white line straddling 2 spaces in sainsburys (still in the big vacant expanse), but mrs bob thinks that I’m a twat when I do it. I thought it was the law for BMW...

Great report and very reassuring ahead of my collection in 3 days. I don’t recall any grey photos from the Q3 gang so mine might be the first set, but by that time everyone will have scattered and left the stage for Q4 undergrads. I guess the novelty and impact will be higher for me as I’m...

Book a test drive with Tesla and reacquaint yourself with how to drive it and then pick up your new one. Otherwise, just jump into your new car and enjoy it and smile. Good luck!

My app has gone the same way but I do have copy of my esign doc which was emailed yesterday so no last minute worries going on with me. I just have insurance to pay as I didnt want to do it prematurely and I already gave them the reg number 2 weeks ago. I’m good to go and looking forward to...

Just checking, are they handed for both sides. Not even sure whether the Gemini covers are handed either but I fancy getting a set for mine as your car looks great and would protect rims from damage. Thinking it would also suit the grey paint better than the stock items but I only went for 19”...

All I’m seeing on these posts are blue, black, red and a few white which all look really cool. If anyone is in Glasgow over next couple of days you might see a lonely grey one parked waiting for me to collect him next week, after neural sandwich picks up his grey one.

That’s amazing and perhaps there’s still hope for a few selected others desperate for a cancellation getting a car in the next 8 days. Hope you can get all the admin done in time and insurance isn’t too high with such short notice.

A big set of kenny Everett foam happy clappy hands on the roof would be a sight to behold.

Just wanted to check in whether many of you took out gap insurance and what type. I’ve got a quote but not progressed it yet. Also did you inform your insurer that you’re using pcp and Tesla are the owner (as per their documentation suggests you need to do)? Can be sorted by quick call with...

I asked using the chat box if they could send it through today as I’m away until Monday evening and collecting on Wednesday afternoon. He said he’d talk to the folks responsible and try to get done today. Within an hour I had the email and checked the doc and e signed and dated it. The document...

My excitement is building as I’ve signed the esign docs now and all I have to do is rock up on Wednesday to collect Hogarth. Love all your pics - every colour looks great .

Also his first and only post so an outright fable with no doubts, and he couldn’t get the pick up location name correct. I’m expecting slick and professional handover from the Glasgow team next Wednesday even if it’s staffed by 20year olds. Most kids that age can teach me and my peers a lot and...

There’s no way this is a true story (the cancellation bit). Nobody would go through all that waiting and cancel at the collection site. Even if you hated the car you’d just take it and phone Richard symons or similar to buy it and make a couple of quid on the side.

Swing over to the q3 collection thread where photos are getting posted several times a day. Some stunning looking cars especially those sent to retailers for machine polishing . Q3 collections, new owners tales and experiences

I guess that’s all the European shipping done for Q3 and it’s just the local distribution and handovers to be completed by next Friday. Best wishes to all who are now enjoying your cars and for those (like me) picking up in next 9 days I hope you will be delighted with your new cars. Overall...

Good to hear and perhaps we might pass close by when out and about from next Wednesday (167hrs to go). Hope you don’t have too far to travel after pick up and that your cars quality is perfect with a decent charge in the batteries too. Remember to post some pics like all the others.

I suspect it’s just the pre contract agreement but in a format to allow it to be electronically signed. Thanks for keeping me and some others updated. I expect mine will come through in the next couple of days but I’ve got a wee bit more time than you. Cheers, SBB

Just had a text from Volvo to say they have immediate delivery on electric xc40 with 72 plates. I told them in May to stop pestering me as I wanted a real electric car and not a pretend one- have barred the number now.

The delivery guys should fit Uber turbine wheel covers and really look the part. Don’t they know we have high standards to meet? Enjoy the new toy and I hope it passes your exacting standards and produces a smile which cannot be wiped off your face.

Did you get the esign do yesterday? Only thing that’s moved on for me is vin in the phone app screen alongside the RN number. I still have a week to go but time seems to be whizzing past more quickly now.

I used WBAC Last Sunday and whilst I thought when I had a firm offer on the table that there was a chance I could get more with motorway etc, in the end I took it to be able to move on with no baggage and the deal was fair enough. Even allowing for the “free” 4 day money transfer, the funds...
