Monring all,
Just back from the test drive which was a grey colour with 20 inch black rims.
I ordered the red but with 19's as people said the drive was hard, but having now driven it I would have taken the 20's in black. My other cars are a BMW X3 M40i and M135i and both are a firmer drive even in comfort mode.
I need a towball and they all now come with the fittings but without the neck attachment & could not confirm if they would charge just for a neck or Tesla Price for the whole towball which could be around £1k.
Not driven a Tesla before and admit I miss not having head up display and the big red speed limit in front of me, not a dealbreaker for us.
Love the red paint, so pleased with the choice.
Build quality was better than expected and other than swirl marks on the paint I could not find anything obvious.
The height diff between the Y and the 3 is very noticeable, and I think the Y is really the better choice of the 2.
Like the fact that the window opens a fraction when opening the door so not to damage the rubber seals.
It was raining - and there no rear windscreen wiper, which is for me is like wearing shoes without socks but again not the end of the world (RAIN-X is my friend from my Land Rover days)
Regenerative braking was noticeable and one peddle driving is very easy.
View out the front is brilliant, out the back is a real disappointment, but one will adjust accordingly.
Acceleration was comparable with my petrol engine M40i and M135i just without any engine noise.
Delivery for early orders will be around March
You can use your order number to qualify for the home charging Govt incentive, which is good as I thought you would need to wait for your VIN.
Mrs is petit and 5 foot, and the drive height and steering wheel adjustments were perfect for her. Worth noting for the smaller ladies.
The red car is a left hooker which you can ask to drive if you want an extended drive after your 30 min. The car we drove is grey.
Overall experience was brilliant, great service, answered all my questions including the impact to my order if I wanted 20's instead of 19's. I won't be changing the order
Most of what I have written you will probably already know, but it doesn't hurt to share.
Regards
Steve
