Don't give me ideas....Do we troll with fake photos of cargo nets fitted in Bristol ones only
Had my first call from Tesla checking I was ready to pickup my MY on the 19th in Southampton too
Test drove today.
Honestly, cabin noise felt slightly better than my M3. Seating position noticeably higher, more comfortable mainly down to the extra room.
Build quality (handles etc felt and looked better than my US made 3 also) which I was pleasantly pleased about.
Ride isfirm but not worse than the 3, if anything felt slightly better over bumps.
No parcel shelf on the test drive car, and a fair amount of noise from the back which you donāt have on the 3 (the whine from the electric motor is something I donāt hear as clearly usually).
Considerably more space which is my main reason to upgrade.
Lacking the quality/cabin noise of an Audi/BMW but not enough of a deal breaker for me tbh. Going to keep my order, awaiting a VIN still.
Looking forward to seeing if tomorrows cars have parcel shelf or mud flaps.

Interesting indeed. Do you recall roughly what date you received/discovered your VIN? Iām trying to work out when they are assigned.
Good luck to you, @tomahhunt and @Pandinium for pickup tomorrow, our pioneers! Pics are welcome, but don't forget to enjoy the event tooBristol is only 11:00 and 11:30 appointments. Drove around there yesterday (Sunday) as I was in the area and there was nothing to see in terms of outside preparations (or any cars). I have been told by Tesla peeps both 40 and 50 in terms of numbers.
His jet hasn't moved from Austin in last 2 days, so it's not looking good for a personal handover of that flamethrower
See you there!
I will be posting any updates with "DELIVERY EVENT SPOILER ALERT!"
Cocktail sausages and cubes of cheeseGood luck to you, @tomahhunt and @Pandinium for pickup tomorrow, our pioneers! Pics are welcome, but don't forget to enjoy the event too
I feel it really could go either way. But more chance of it not being rushed in Bristol and first than Southampton with so many cars!

I believe back in the early days when you picked up an S or X they did the whole under a cover reveal thing. Not like the sign here and don't let the barrier hit you on the way out approach they have now.
I paid in US$ as well but canāt remember what the rate was. Iām hoping it wont be like rims in the 80ās or 90ās when theyād fall off relatively easily and people started securing them with cable ties!Expensive yes, but you get what you pay for I guess. I was clear on what I wanted black rims + 19" wheels. I looked at powder coating and other cheaper covers, but I felt nothing came closer to the quality and looks (subjective, I know!) of these Rimetrix Laminar covers. So I just went ahead and bought them. They will probably be available for delivery to UK directly in future and I estimate them to be around Ā£300-320 with delivery. So I may have spent 50 quid more, but hey I will have them from Day 1!
That's more or less what I paid (I need to see how much it is converted to in Ā£) - I paid all in USD because I have a card which offers good deals on foreign currency. But yes, if you damage one of them, getting a replacement will again cost. A risk I was aware of. But hoping I do not damage them or may be add some sort of rim protectors on top of these plastics
or heaven forbid, they get stolen! Iām going to take in my mud flaps I got off Amazon and ask them to fit them

Yep they are making their way down the list. Just had my check in call for Saturday.
Those of you who have test driven/seen one in person, did you expect the boot to be bigger? For some reason I thought it would be a lot bigger lol maybe one of those things that doesnāt show well in pics/vids.
The main reason I wanted a test drive was to see how firm it was on the 20ās and it felt completely normal to me.

I am used to BMW and Run flatsā¦ I think anything would be softer even if they were solid rubber - I hate sloppy floaty feeling cars so I went with the 20ās.
Serious case of Parcel Shelf Face
