Moderator comment - thread merged from "The UK model Y order thread" Hi all, UK orders are open for Model Y on Tesla.com. Have your ordered yours yet, if so - congrats.. what did you order? I just ordered our Long Range in white with black interior. It will replace our 2019 Model 3 SR+

The tray for the centre console and the tray for the arm rest are very useful add-ons. That and frunk mat.

Mine did yes.

Tesla register it. In a years time the DVLA will send your a road tax reminder, and when you “pay it” it will be zero rated.

Ruby has arrived (original I know ;) ) I picked it up this morning at Glasgow. Very organised and fast handover. Car was in near perfect condition. Panel gaps and alignment very good. Paint looks consistent. Interior fit and finish is really a step up on the earlier Fremont cars. No rattles...

I’m picking up my M3P tomorrow morning at 10am in Glasgow.. anyone also got a similar pickup slot in Glasgow tomorrow?

Nope. All my previous Teslas have had white interiors so far.. and even with three kids, no issues at all. Very easy to keep clean - unless you let them play with permanent markers… 😩

It’s completely normal.. and yours looks pretty good compared to many. No chance they are replacing yours unfortunately.

Yes I know that was the context of the question. Just wanted to check because technically the Performance used to just be an LR with bigger wheels, lower springs, bigger brakes, the motors turned up a bit and a boot lip. So just interesting to see that it’s now got a completely different...

Doesn’t the MIC M3P get the 82kWH now? Thought I’d read that..

The problem with Freemont cars is the absolute variability. Our 2019 M3SR+ delivered in Nov 2019 was for all-intents and purposes perfect. Great gaps, reasonable paint, no rattles. I've not had it back to Tesla since we picked it up. My 2020 M3P delivered in Mar 2020 was totally the...

There is a lot of mass in the cars, AWD or RWD doesn't matter - the mass will go wherever the camber / incline takes it if the tyres can't grip. And re-gen can make it real interesting I can tell you. I recall a very scary moment on the A84 near Strathyre in 2018 in the Model X I had at the...

when comparing my 2020 M3P with my wifes 2019 M3SR+, her car is so efficient, that we always tend to stop at the same charging stops and her charging curve is better than mine most of the time. Basically on most longer journeys you would be surprised at the lack of difference. And this is on two...

No ones tested to see if double glazing is for efficiency rather than wind noise. Better heat rejection / insulation?

If sr+ And…. A heat pump, ability to enable heated steering wheel (extra cost but at least an option), double glazed front windows, a battery that will have little to no appreciable losses after 10 years, better interior, better paint finish if compared with a 2019….

If you were an existing Tesla owner, you can order your new car on your own referral code. in 2018 I bought my Model X 100D then used my own referral when my buying my wife her M3SR+ in 2019. I happened to be on free supercharger miles because it was an X, but since we share my Tesla account...

I was able to find this cargo tracker for the operator of the Triton Ace - perhaps it will work for you. My VIN number didn’t appear on the search. RoRo

Just got the text. Collecting on 30th Sept (earliest opportunity offered to me) from Glasgow. M3P. Vin is 322xxx.

I guess the next one of interest is Neptune Koper operated by Wilhelmsen. My order of an M3P is apparently still sitting on the dock (Vin 322...) in Shanghai. No text yet. Tesla delivery are still saying a mid to late Sept delivery is still possible in my case which hints to more boats leaving...

Hi there, For those of you interested, I just posted a video of my experience with charging at Scotland's FIRST Ultra charger situated at Gretna Green opened a few days ago. The 350kW Ionity ultra chargers at Gretna:

Yep. I turn regen off now when in icy/snow conditions.

Thought I'd do some videos on general checks for your Tesla / EV that you can do at home. Maintaining your EV - YouTube

Hi there, Added a new video about alternative charging arrangements at home if you have more than one EV (or are getting another). Might be useful.. McScooby1 www.youtube.com/user/McScooby1

Just had the CCS retrofit and decided to test it. First on 50kW DC, then on a 350kW DC and then on a CCS twin post supercharger. Car is a June 2018 built / Sept 2018 delivered Model X 100D. Video describes my experiences. Hope it's useful:

On the V9 Dash cam front : We have now had more details leaked in public. From what I gather, V9 will enable a dash cam function. It will only be the front under mirror camera, not the sides, b-pillars or rear camera. It will not record when the car is parked and off. It will require you...

According to the Munro teardown info, the new battery cells used in the model 3 are 20% larger, but have a 50% increase in capacity when compared with the cells in the S or X which might not be a ‘big jump’ in chemistry, but for an incremental improvement, is definitely significant enough.

Congratulations! I’m glad things are working out well for you. I hope to have a similarly pain free experience next Friday when I pick up mine.

My car is a Model X 100D in MC Red, with PUP, white 6 seat interior, EAP, carbon decor and 22” onyx wheels delivered sept 2018 and was priced at £111,600 including taxes and £4500 government ULEV grant. According to my guaranteed price from Tesla in 2022 with an average mileage of 15,000 per...

The supercharger network is still building across europe and so it will only get better. The thing is, charging infrastructure is starting to be rolled out by all kinds of people and we will see more level 3 / 4 chargers springing up. In Scotland, we have a supercharger up in Aviemore, which...

Congratulations!

Congratulations! I got the call from Tesla Delivery today. Confirmed delivery date of 7th Sept.

Hopefully you will attain the goal of owning a Tesla soon! I for one have never spent this much on a car before, but I see it as an investment in the kind of future I want to see happen. I have followed the Tesla story since it began and I'm happy to see the disruptive effect they are having in...

I have to say that the experience of looking, touching, driving and experiencing the car at a Tesla store / Service Centre is really good compared with the 'old' way of having to deal with a franchised car dealership of other brands. The attention, "non-pushiness" and the lack of the up-sell (no...

Hi TLej, ha! that's not at all far away! Thanks for the welcome.

Hi Dan, make sure you get a Chademo adapter. There are lots of destination chargers that use it across Scotland, but only a handful of superchargers - so if you want a semi-rapid charge you will need it. Otherwise, enjoy your car when it comes! Regards, Mark.

Hello, I’m Mark from the Clyde valley. I have a Model X 100D on order, which should arrive on the week of the 10th of September. Spec is : Multi coat Red 22” Black Turbine wheels White 6 seat interior Carbon fiber decor Premium package Enhanced autopilot Can’t wait!

Welcome Dan!

I am a serial Land Rover owner. There I said it. (phew.. glad to get that out there). I have three kids, the oldest of which at 15 years old is a freak of nature.. he’s already 6’3”.. and still growing. Im 6’3”, 45 and only growing in one direction now (out the way :) ). My car is a 2014 LR4...

I use Steven and S.L. Dent Repair. (22 Green Street Bothwell. G71 8RJ. UK.) His number is 07967 488 371. He has been excellent. He is used to working on Jaguar Land Rover products (which are mostly aluminium these days).

I traded from a Landrover Discovery (LR4) to a Model X. Usually all the LR4s I see are driven by women, so I suppose I’d be in good company with my MX (45 year old father of 3).
