...and its odds on that you'll get a phone call the day before to clarify what the visit is for at which point it will be called off.
I've used the ranger service three times (with my previous MS) and each time they called 24hrs before and either confirmed or cried off.
Thanks dude, as u said they accepted the job on Friday and messaged so not expecting another call. Will report back from what he says when he is here. Appointment was Tuesday but changed to tomorrow.What does seem wasteful to me is getting a service guy out because the windows on your new car are squeaking a little [gut response]
But aye, its a bit annoying when you pay the same as the next guy and he gets the upgraded version of whatever and you get the previous (now obviously deemed inferior version), thats how I'm viewing the lights and will be trying to get them replaced also.
@Oxstock I'm almost sure the sales guy mentioned at one of my test drives that they had new lights (along with boombox), so I naturally assumed this was what he was taking about and yet here we are and don't get them. My driveway is dark, lots of trees, 2 lights are better than one
Thank you el bandito. I’m happy now, either way. Will just be a bonus at this point if they do.
Car is amazing though. Absolutely in love.
It’s for this reason I don’t think it gets raised much, simply put, people aren’t checking.This thread made me check my rear lights - for the first time ever. Never seen them in action before.
Overall I don’t think it matters what lights you have anyway.
We’ve all got nice teslas.
I find myself following 71 plate Teslas ( quite a few round here) until they either brake or indicate, then announcing to my missus which lamps they have. She thinks I've lost the plot.

Absolutely love it mate. I only got a SR+ but it's been really efficient and I find every excuse to drive it!

I'll be checking mine when mine is delivered on Wednesday. I'll be honest, I'll not be best pleased, to put it mildly, if I have the older lights.

Tesla CS strikes again!
So all of us owners that now have 2 reverse lights have foreign market cars?!
Yes, you need to log a ticket to say your car hasn’t been supplied with UK lights as you have two reversing lights.

Tesla CS won't know what's happening from one car to the next, to be blunt. Only by plugging it in will they be able to see what options are coded to the car (one of them will be the light configuration, front and rear).
As said before I also think it'll be a struggle to get them to change perfectly working (but older revision) lights. Even if you get condensation in them you'll get the replacement lights that your VIN says you should have, the same with every other part.
If you don't get anywhere with Tesla CS you could always try either buying the lights yourself and see whether they work when you plug them in (I doubt they will work properly without being coded, but you might be able to get Tesla SC to do it, if they can). Could be quite an expensive thing to do though, given all 4 would need to be changed.
