Further update - I have spoke with Tesla on the phone, expressed my frustration, 20 mins later I was reassigned a new vehicle, not only that, it is in stock at my Local Branch (Newcastle) and I can collect on 1st December instead of the original 7th so I'm now pleased I was assigned the wrong vehicle....... Tesla have brilliant customer service I don't know what you all winge at haha

For those who have recently got their cars, do you have heated steering wheel and rear seats? I thought this had now become standard but recognised mine does not have these. I know I ordered in Oct21 when I think they weren't on the SR+ (which is what I ordered) but assumed I would get if the spec now has it. I also seem to remember when first became standard that some got the release with a SW update after they had the car. Is this still done for the RWD? Thought I would ask here before I go and maybe log it as a topic with Tesla.
Well 5days in and very happy with it. Did a 200mile round trip to London yesterday. 100% charge when left, got home with 8%. 50kWh used according to the trip and 250Wh/mile average so happy with that as quite low temps especially as late night drive back. Mostly motorway at legal speeds. So far video cruise and the autosteer has been good. Only 1 incident when it started to brake when no reason. Also considering the fog etc, the wipers seemed to have been pretty good and as I would have expected from my BMW. Will see if I continue to be satisfied.

Yep my RWD has all heated seats in the rear, heated steering wheel and even a heated wiper button (no idea what I'd use that for?).
think it heats your wiper blades so they don't stick to the frozen screen and shag the rubber
Tesla haven’t done it to you yet…I’m collecting an M3 RWD on Friday 9th December.
Looking forward to this but can’t help thinking that the car will probably have some panel issues, from what I’ve heard.
Question is, what is the procedure to sort this out? can it be booked in for any remedial work there and then?
What happens if I don’t accept the car?
Seems outrageous that I’ve even got these concerns for a brand new £46k car !!
Mercedes Benz never did this to me!
Panel gaps seem to be a rarity now, especially for the Chinese made vehicles.
If they can fix it there and then they will, if not you’ll get booked in and someone will come to you or you go to them depending on if it can be sorted by remote service.
If you don’t accept it I’m pretty sure you start from scratch.
Don’t let anxiety ruin a shiny new car, you’ll love it.
Thanks for the reassurance and info
I suppose bad news always get over blown. I think the issue stems from seeing cars reviewed by magazine journalists having panel issues. (You’d think Tesla would lend them a perfect example).I wouldn’t like to be the person who has to try and explain away any problems to my Mrs...
Have taken the plunge and paid in full this morning. Now nervously waiting to see if it lands in Tesla and not some bank account in Indonesia 
For those who are expecting home delivery, a company called AnyVan is delivering in my case. They text me yesterday with a 4hr timeslot for delivery today and I've just got a tracking link for the flatbed which is on the way. Really great service.... 45 minutes to wait.
If you swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the climate settings window then its at the bottom of that screen next to the heated steering wheel icon. Found a pic on Google that shows it;
Shouldn’t be as it’s listed as standard spec still, you got me all worried
