Model Y UK Delivery
- Thread starter tess19
- Start date
Interesting note says LR models to continue being shipped from China. New more energy-dense batteries increase 19" range to 351 miles (non-WLTP) and 20" to 331 miles (as per WLTP). Usual stuff about AMD, double glazing and parcel shelves being standard.
Just confirmed delivery for the 19th Feb, super excited it’s my first Tesla and the second one we own as a family.
I previously owned an iPace, loved the car to bits however constantly needed to go back to JLR for fixes (one time for 4 months) also wasn’t happy with overall mileage the car would give, interior space and got stuck on the motorway once in a long distance journey due to being unable to find working chargers (was super jealous seeing Tesla owners super charging whilst I knew my car was going to die).
I did the test drive a week back, this is what I loved about the Model Y and my only one dislike.
Likes: Interior space, visibility, infotainment and ride height.
Dislike: iPace drive is a lot better, feels really sporty.

Isn’t there a separate topic for discussion regarding insurance …

AliExpress (Chinese Amazon-type site) have the cheapest floor mats for complete coverage and also trunk/frunk liners. Mostly I get stuff in 1 - 2 weeks. Make sure you are selecting RHD MY from the many options, and only go with good reviews. So many tesla accessories on there it's insane, most of my products have been fine and much cheaper. Hope this helps.
Answer:
I have ordered a LR so that gets basic mats included and will see how i go with them. I am waiting on the following trunk/frunk mat set as it was the best deal I could find for that set:
92.84US $ 5% OFF|For Tesla Model Y Mats Plain Tpe Trunk Frunk Cargo Lower Compartment Tray Liners Boot Mats & Rear Seat Back Protector Dirtyproof - Cargo Liner - AliExpress

From a quick search, this cabin all weather floor mat set seems good value and well reviewed:

Just a tip from experience, I always try to select products with free postage, as you won't get the postage refunded if there are any problems and you need to get refunded.
Hope these links get posted.

Going on the 19th as well, Tesla sent me a text but I don’t have a vin number yet as it is via leaseplan.

Money showing on Tesla account this morning as expected, so all good. So now I’ll send 6 transfers of £10k by FPS or call the bank to transfer the whole balanceI think I got the invite to pay yesterday. Or maybe the day before. Pick up for me is on the 16th.
I called my bank, they set up the transfer instruction (he said it would go FPS) limit online is much less than over the phone (like 10-15k he said but “it depends”; guess he didn’t check for me !)
I chickened out when he said it was “unverified” but I think that’s normal for a business account after reading an earlier post)
When I logged into my bank online the payment instruction to Tesla was set up,
so I sent a transfer of £190 to test it.
If it’s showing in my Tesla account tomorrow I’ll call my bank and send the rest.
I’ll post back when it’s showing on account
£290 down - £59,000 to go

Still waiting on a trade-in estimate after about 2 weeks or so. I got an email from my local Tesla Center after about a week asking me to complete my online forms and acknowledging that if trade in was the only incomplete part that there was a backlog.
Pickup planned for the Trafford center.
Current Model S contract ends late March so I’ll see how it goes. No hurry.

Open question at the moment. They have been supplying them with the Model 3 since late 2020 in the UK (and other markets that experience Winter). I think they're one of the things that are fit "in country" ie they don't come from the factory with them installed. I think we just need to wait and see when the first deliveries start to go out.
I am glad that I read this. I was just about to order a set. I will wait for now.
I am expecting mud flaps to be fitted on to the Model Y's at delivery. It is country specific and most Northern European countries have had them fitted to the MYs at delivery from what I have read.
My thought is to hold off ordering floor mats and mud flaps and see what comes with the car. However, other accessories may be worth ordering.
Sadly just cancelled my MYLR order.
Scheduled delivery date changed three times and now been removed and is back to "we'll contact you to arrange delivery".
Still haven't received a single text from Tesla and they are as yet unable to explain why (but I suspect they have a truncation defect somewhere that is removing the leading 7 as well as the leading 0)
Tired of waited more than an hour on hold to speak to them.
I'm sure it's a great car but it's a matter of principle for me when spending 60 grand that I also receive reasonable customer service and experience.
I wish everybody well - sad it didn't work out for me.
