Finally some good news for you! This certainly is an issue with the lease and not Tesla. Under normal circumstances, I'm fairly certain it would have just been a remote activation for FSD (this is what they told me when I was unsure of getting it myself).
I opted not to get it in the end, as in my opinion, it's too expensive for what it can do with it in the UK. Pretty satisfied with AP and if FSD improves I can always add it later.
Nonetheless, glad your enjoying the car and finally on track to getting your FSD
Screw a loaner! I'd want the lease company to be paying rental on an equivalent (or better) EV! I realise that's going to be a tesla anyway, but at least you get the satisfaction of lease company paying.
I've just picked mine up and didn't have time for a deep dive but did a quick glance around.
Charging cables, emergency kit present. A slight door alignment that looks to be "within spec".
Had to jump in and dash as on the way to pick up I got a call that my kid in school was ill.
Will go over the car properly later today.
Collection was painless and quick. So quick they didn't even ask for ID.

Does anybody know if the fixing of door misalignments can be done by a mobile ranger visit or will I have to take to my nearest SC which would be a 200 mile round trip! I didn't seem to have the option to have someone come to me to fix it in the app. Makes me think I should put up with the misalignment and forget about it.

I would get that fixed. If the door is properly shut then that’s quite a gap as it doesn’t look flush as well as bring misaligned. Can lead to water getting in, dirt, extra wind noise as well as aesthetically not right.
A ranger should be able to do it so worth checking.
Think you've found your problem there, Tesla will be looking to charge the new price and nobody (WEVEE / Leaseplan) will pay the difference of however much the price went up.
I ordered a Lease Car back around this time last year (not a Tesla), I was told it was built, I was then told that there was a fire at the factory that built the digital cockpit (after my car was 'built') - they then discovered that they'd built my car as a lesser spec. As my car had been ordered 3 months earlier on an offer, they wouldn't build me a new one for the same price - never got to the bottom of who was at fault for the spec but these leasing companies / brokers make high volume, small margin profits and they don't have the money in the deals to rectify the mistakes.
Hope you get sorted soon
Ok thanks - do I have to call them to ask for a ranger visit? See no option in the app.
Collected today, largely painless experience and no real problems that I could find (some tape marks on the front that cleaned off).
I have noticed a bit of a rattle from somewhere in the passenger side but haven't had a chance to investigate yet.
Great car, really pleased!

If the seat was empty, might just be the seatbelt against the door pillar. I thought it was the seat at first. Can’t see a way to stop it.Collected today, largely painless experience and no real problems that I could find (some tape marks on the front that cleaned off).

Thanks will check it out...I've had it before on other cars and often the easiest way is to put a little black felt on the hard surfaces for a simple fix.

check for a rattle in the rear door card where the outer edge of the door card touches the metal door panel. apply firm force to several (non-bending) areas around the edge of the door card to ensure clips are fully in - same with C pillar trim and seat trims. I've found 8 or 9 areas in the car so far where stuff wasn't really tight in from factory. centre console edge trims, door cards, frunk light area, seat lower surrounds etc

Good point & I'd forgotten about these - during the delivery check I found the passenger side centre console edge & rear nearside head lining needed a firm push to fully clip down.
So after having to resort to explaining that I believe my lease company to be in breach of contract, FSD has miraculously started working! It's amazing what a kind word will do.
I'm still going to push through a costumer complaint because the amount of effort that took was huge. I don't want anyone else to have to go through that.

same - the text message I got from Edinburgh said they’d phone a few days before to confirm - I tried texting the number back that sent the confirmation to me but so far silence
