Maybe it's just the type plug to CCS adapter that's missing ? I've read there is a shortage of those. If it is the type 2 cable that's missing it will be a real problem for lots of people. Luckily I converted my wall socket to a tethered cable. All I need now is a car !!!

I don't think that's needed on EU Model 3s.
As I understand it, the "original" Model 3 in the US uses a custom Tesla Type 2 socket to add Supercharger support (DC) to the standard Type 2 feed (AC).
In the EU, our Model 3s instead have a Type 2/CCS combo connector. So we can use both Type 2 and CCS connections with no adapters needed.

Thanks though I'm still not sure which bit is missing
Maybe I'm just being slow on a Friday afternoon. I'll only be charging from a desintaion charger at work and CCS elsewhere so assmuing I'll be fine

There's been reports of Tesla UK being out of stock of Type 2 cables, so some/all cars are being delivered without them with a problem to send later.

Yes sorry.
You should be fine.
The car is supposed to come with a Type 2 cable. If it doesn't have one of these then I can't use the 7kW charger I've had installed at my house. Which is bad because I don't have any facilities near me and I don't fancy 3-pinning it using an extension lead from my garage.

Just picked up mine from Stockport. Sorry no sunshine for the pic here in Manchester - just rain and more rain.
As others have reported, approx. 50% charge (but I only live 6 miles away so not an issue) and no type 2 cable supplied as they are out of stock. Car is plugged into the 3 pin in the garage - 9 hours to full.

Not sure yet - I will get round to investigating when I stop fawning over the car.
I don't think you'll have much luck requesting them not to fit the front holder - tI think they are too busy to accodate those sort of specfic requests.,.
I too want a vinyl for the front. if it has holes the vinyl will cover them I think
The charge levels are giving me range anxiety already - I have a 2hr drive back from my delivery centre. I'll have to check it charges OK before I leave. Don't want to get half way back, need to charge and find a broken charge port

We got our delivery text today. Collection Next Friday (16th) at Edinburgh SC.
On the Type 2 conversation, Tesla Edinburgh confirmed via email that yesterday they received delivery of enough Type 2 cables for all deliveries. Hopefully this should be the case everywhere, you'd think?

Congrats on getting the car dude!
BUT ALSO, what. the. actual. flip?!
No Type 2 cable with the car is utterly bonkers... How does that happen?
I've just invested all my spare cash into Floor Mat production for SR+ owners... I can't afford to start making my own Type 2 cables as well!

Yes, you are right, the UK models don't need the adapter. Sorry for misleading people. The non availability of the type 2 lead needs resolving quickly though.
I’ve already mentioned this a few times on here. When I had my M3 test drive at Stockport 3 weeks ago they told me that the first batch had been delivered without the Type 2 cables as they were out of stock. It sounds like - at Stockport at least - that’s still the case.
So, don’t be surprised or shocked if when you get your car you don’t get the Type 2 cable on the day. Be prepared to make other charging arrangements.

That'll explain my wasted journey to CarpetRight for coconut matting...
Ohhhhh please, ones with LEDs in the cable that flashes like a light strip towards the car! (And some tassels on the plug end)I've just invested all my spare cash into Floor Mat production for SR+ owners... I can't afford to start making my own Type 2 cables as well!
