And for performance and LR-AWD collectors, this thread Model 3 Motors on the Tesla Parts Catalog would like some photos of the rear motor along with rough VIN and/or build date.

Thanks for posting. Looks great. I’m loving the look of the red M3 with Aeros in those pics as that’s exactly what I’m impatiently waiting for
Congrats to everyone who’s picked up their car today!
I don’t trust the pics though - too easy to doctor these days.
Can we have some vids please to prove these cars do actually have something in them that makes them go along roads.
Cheers!

I am. I am thinking the nose upto the panel gaps and the rocker panels/bottom of the doors upto the crease

Looks amazing with all the red and black 3s. All with frunk open almost as if there was an engine to inspect ! No word out there on the Edinburgh deliveries yet ? I'll be bashing straight up to Glenshee, back road to Aviemore when my car comes in. I have heard that route is sublime in a Model 3.
M3 P+ FSD Black VIN: 5YJ3F7EB2KF4391** Somewhere in transit.

Impressive..a driverless car! But security is a bit naff with no side windows and a door open...
Driverless car .... when’s there’s no driver sitting inside !!

Congratulations all those who got their car today. Great to hear that they are actually delivering again after a 7 week hiatus. Sounds like we won't be there long enough to even be offered a tea or coffee.

I saw that someone on Twitter has an Edinburgh collection on Friday, but that’s the earliest I’ve seen so far.
I don’t have a date yet! Still crossing my fingers for an unexpected “Can you come today?” call. (Spoiler: the answer is yes!)
You got someone in mind who does this for the Model 3 in the UK, or is it something that can be cut for any car? Excuse the ignorance, didn't even know PPF was a thing until I started considering the Model 3!
First driving experience has been amazing, finding the car quite powerful....only to realize that I was on « chill » mode and that the sport mode is just flat out insane!! Feel so stupid to know so much nothing about the car but feeling quite excited now. This car is mad! Hope you all get your delivery very soon!!

Extremely jealous / excited for you all picking up your cars today!
Also, both the blue and the red look awesome. I'm starting to regret my 'standard' black purchase now
Hi Pistons Dead. Loved your Zero SR/F review. I am afraid after ordering the Model 3 performance I could only afford/justify ? The SuperSoco TC Max. Totally agree with the smile/bliss/fun factor of an electric motorbike on country roads. One of the best experiences, even with a 3-5 Kw engine !

What a day. Firstly, Heathrow by 12:30 was busy but not chaotic thanks to the number of Tesla staff on hand to respond to customers. They have clearly recruited up to handover a lot of cars. The handover is targeted at being a 15 minute event. A quick run through of getting the car set up with driving position and basic controls. My handover guy was very professional and courteous but the principle is, take the car now, inspect it over the next couple of days and report any issues and they will be fixed. While maybe unconventional, I'm actually ok with that.
I inspected my car in the car park and the main stuff looks good like panel gaps and interior but I noticed a couple of small scratches in the bonnet near the windscreem so reported this. Only about 4 cm long and only topcoat so almost certainly will be polished out. It is already scheduled for an SC visit in a few weeks.
One thing I noticed when I got the car, is the number plates don't sit that well in the holders so were sticking out at one end, which, for someone as curmodgeonly as me, is a big deal. You may notice this when you collect.
Otherwise the car is pretty awesome.
When I was in Wales later this afternoon I tried to rapid charge with Polar CCS connectors without success. The type 2 was ok so not an account issue. I would be interested to know if anyone else has problems charging M3 with Polar CCS.
Spot the difference:

Northern plates? So the car came with the 61 plate and you switched? I've been interested to know if I'd be getting 61 or Northern plates.
What kind of charge did you have when collecting?
Oh and congrats. Looks class

Best wishes with the car!
Can you advise on the process of getting the NI plates sorted? I will be picking up from Edinburgh and then Getting ferry back to Belfast so keen to know what this process is.
