2020 Q4 'M' delivery club

[OrangeMikey]

That's a helpful change ... on existing cars you have to look up to make sure you don't press the SOS button instead of the hazards ... and the buttons are not marked with contrasting colours, just an imprint on the moulded plastic!

The overhead SOS button being removed has made me think, why was it there to being with? Has regulations changed or something?

I've noted there is only a hazard button on roof.
I believe there used to be a SOS button, but SOS is now via screen only.
Nothing else I can see to report that's not been covered I don't think!

In case of an accident, if your screen get smash, how will you be able to get help?

I believe the ecall standard mandates that in a significant accident it automatically dials anyway.

Otherwise, I guess you can't. But in every car I've seen before that had ecall, there was a physical button.

Thursday am also (10am)

Did you arrive in a BMW? I was there from 9am. Seemed to be the only customer. And left about 10am. They told me I was the second Q4 (2021) delivery to collect...

Tesla asked on Monday for Friday collection for me

They told me 7 days before collection.

Thanks. Was worried they hadn't come looking for money two weeks out.

Also no mud flaps at the front wheels at all, may need to get some - I wonder if they more confident in the paintwork now.

Also no commando adapter with the UMC, I did ask after I first checked over the car with a checklist, only three pin socket with the UMC and obviously a type 2 cable. As nothing said it would come with these, I accepted this. I went through the checklists others linked in another thread.

Yeah I was sort of expecting a commando adapter too. Wasn't sure why I thought it would be included, so didn't say anything when it wasn't there...

 

[thx1138]

Wow that's the earliest I've seen I think! Where are you collecting from?

I rang up today to give the nudge on the final invoice so I can pay. Got the reg number sent at the same time, she said the reg number should be auto-SMSed 7 days before (I collect next Tuesday). I was unclear on the mudguard extensions being included or not, so got confirmation that they are included... another thing for the checklist!

Got mine today, was told it was the 2nd Q4 (2021) collection they've had. Not sure how true that is of course...

Its automatic.

Manual is for things like medical episodes.

May be there was too many complaints of the SOS button been activated by mistake.
In this case the operator still needs to verify if there is an emergency by asking a laundry list of questions.
This happened to Bjørn Nyland in one of his videos, and since he was testing a car and not the owner, this was complicated.

Commando hasn't been part of standard UMC for a long time. Sounds like the check lists need updating?

In this case, there is no need of a button...

No a white Skoda, dad dropped me off about 09.50. Wouldn’t have minded it being clearer where to go first

Same! I feel a bit like a kid at Christmas. Last night I was actually pretty relaxed but this morning every time my phone makes a sound I leap on it!

Still two weeks until I collect mine.
TWO WEEKS.

It’s dragging.

Can you pay in multiple payments? Say 25% each day.

The button is for things like medical emergencies, such as having a heart attack.
