@Barry Tonne I called Churchill the other day when I took out the policy with them, they said SR+ was fine. They said they had quite a few calls about it but they were happy with that it was still the base model and still RWD if that makes sense?

If it helps.. I started a policy with Churchill for a SR+ as listed. But once confirmed I entered chat and asked them to include in the notes that the actual wording from Tesla is RWD and a 2023 model. They done this with no hesitation. I will then double double check on pick up day when car is registered with DVLA.

Driver could not get up my street with the trailer so had to go for a little walk to collect. Wife laughing as she had nipped out to post a letter and saw it before me!
Everything good.

I did direct line via the Tesla link and it was £90 cheaper than through normal direct line website
In the excitement of receiving the car yesterday, I had hastily pulled the black key-card wallet from the envelope and discarded the envelope on the table. Having come to dispose of it properly this morning, I found the following inside. What witchcraft is this? Am I meant to plant the... seeds(?)... in the garden and mark it with the wooden stake, and wait for some parking sensors to grow?
There's nothing in the owners manual about it

Took it out for a spin today on the backroads, had to keep it down though with the wet tarmac. Coming from a Lexus which answers any turn of the steering wheel with “Are you SURE, sir?” before turning, its like getting in a go cart. The suspension feels busy when I start driving but I soon forgot about it, while the cornering is rock solid. On one corner at about 50 with some “ripply’ road edge tarmac, the springs did a charming shimmy but the wheels followed the surface effortlessly. It’s a lovely country road drive, big smile.

Churchill did mine as standard range plus.
Just keep ringing back, first person I spoke to at Churchill was excruciatingly rude, thankfully my phone decided to reboot and second person I got through to was really helpful. They registered it as standard range plus. They have my number plate if it's not the car thats their fault I guess. At this point i had enough looking around for insurance.
My car arrived yesterday, it became dark and so I couldn't do any real checks. I've checked it today - I have a slight misalignment on the boot where it connects to the passenger c pillar. My driver window regulator sounds like an owl too 
. Service arranged for Friday. Apart from that looks really clean and Im very happy. Charged at home last night. App connected last night about 2 hours after I signed the declaration. I've done 40 miles today but the cameras are still not calibrated - is this normal?

Very happy overall.
Arrived around 9:30am at bluewater for a 10am collection. The tesla worker on the desk actually thanked us for being early… if everyone turns up early it means they get to finish earlier and not do a full 12+ hour shift. There was probably between 150-200 Tesla’s (even mix of 3’s and Y’s) waiting to be collected in the car park, although they did say only 40 collections was booked today.
The tesla workers was really helpful with showing us how things worked in the car (helped being early as there was no one else there). We probably spent an hour or so using the supercharger and learning where all the different settings are on the touch screen… if I’m being honest, I think it will be a while before I really learn about every function this Tesla has.
The car itself looks great - there was a couple ‘swirl’ marks on the bonnet which I’m sure will come out with some more cleaning. The car come with 44% charge which we topped up to 75% using the superchargers (cost around £6.50ish).
The drive is amazing! I can already see why people love their Tesla’s so much. It was well worth the 11 month wait.

Took mine about 35 miles.
Does it need to be motorway miles for the road markings, I wonder if it's because I've been driving in the city

Mine was a mix. Have you got the little steering wheel icon in blue showing you how much further it’s got to go to calibrate?

No mine was all countryside and single lane roads mostly unmarkedDoes it need to be motorway miles for the road markings, I wonder if it's because I've been driving in the city
Interestingly it did show lines at the edge of the driving space, dont know what it thought they meant though...
I have wasted an unbelievable amount of time tonight on Netflix, YouTube and on Caraoke in the car! 
I also did my first supercharge earlier at Hilton Park, went from 4% to 82% in around 30 minutes and cost me £19. Impressed.

I was aware of using the brake a couple of times when I started off. But since I have just come from a car where braking is normal it was only later I realised that was probably the result of softer regen. The regen was still there though, I could have driven without the brake with a bit of thinking ahead. I think if you are used to a traditional car brake, then it will just be natural to switch to the brake pedal anytime you need to.
