Model Y UK Delivery

[Bron]

I was told when they called me my car had over 70% (last Friday), collected today with 32%. Not good that they just made the 70% up, poor CS. Anyway, car is awesome, really happy. Note that might help some as I didn’t know, If you use the route home via superchargers they ignore the non supercharger's at Fleet services (maybe because they are not they high KW ones?), managed to charge up there for 20 mins, busy but no queue. Weather has been absolutely pants so will post another picture when it’s dry.

Lucky for you thre was no queue. We were in a line at Fleet and watched a number of M3s pass through leaving us AJ21s to load up. The Tesla chap helping new owners at Fleet charger, standing in the rain needs a big gold star and thank-you. But like yourself once on charge, a quick 20 minutes then we were on our way.

I was trying to get back into the charging car by tapping the card too high up and he shouted ‘lower’ so that was enough advice for me . Weather was a massive factor in the stress of the day!

Weird. I collected mine with 80% and was told 68% last week. Maybe it went below 30% so they topped it up?

Anyone else find auto pilot not working? It’ll set the speed but not the Lane keep.

Did you get the yellow warning? After the cameras have calibrated (which they would have if cruise control was working) you need to park and go into the auto pilot settings and enable it. You should be able to enable then when driven.

I found that pulling down twice on the stalk sets the speed and lane keep but changing lanes (when indicating) disengages lane keep. As far as I can tell this is how it goes — you need EAP for autosteer, which presumably doesn't have this "feature".

Yes I’ve done that. I occasionally get a warning that one of the cameras is covered so maybe that’s stopping it?

Probably the cameras are being calibrated and also you need to set auto steer in the settings for it to work. Just realised that when driving home

Saturday night, a few beers in and oops, £1500. Classic upsell model (on steroids)….

I just know I will do that too after a few beers, is there a cooling off period !

48 hours apparently! More than enough time to have some fun. Doubt they let you 'try' it more than once

I picked up the Y at Southampton today. It was a good well planned for event where they kept upping the anticipation with each 'room' you went into. Finally I picked it up and the weather was not easy to check out the paint work, noticed a small minor scratch once it dried when I got home.

Apart from that all was good. Winchester 10am Monday for the service to look at it, so can't complain. Especially as some folks had their delivery cancelled as they were written off from falling debris yesterday. Anyway Home now and I called her 'Dracarys' as it is the command for dragons to breathe fore in Game of Thrones and it has a CAR and Y next to each other.

Great colour, hopefully picking up next month...

Has anyone from South Wales had a delivery date yet? I'm still waiting for even an initial date range text, and holding out on the lease company's assurance that I'll get it in March...

MSM Y Black int, 20” Bridgend. Picking up on Wed 23rd. Ordered late Oct 21.

For you or anyone that's had the boost in the past is it worth it? 1.5K for a 0.5sec shaving off 0-60 seems not, but maybe i'm just boring

Just depends on your personal preference. Many people will find the stock performance more than adequate.

0.5 sec off a car that can do 0-60 in 10 sec wouldn’t be worth much but shaving half a second off a car that already does 0-60 in sub 5 sec is huge, that would cost a lot more to increase performance that much in an ICE.

 

[Pau1]

Am I the only one that was not aware of the Acceleration boost for £1500 in the upgrades???

Acceleration boost was £2000, so that seems very reasonable from a power (BHP) vs price, point...
To get and extra 50 BHP in an ICE car world be far more....

You can have a trial I think, it's valid for 24hrs and you can get a refund....but only one trial, if you purchase again they keep your cash...

 

[wjadoon]

Let me know how you get on. In the same boat!

Pretty straight forward mate. The car shows up on the app just before they had it over to you.

For those who collected this week - it's been lovely reading first delivery day stories! Well done to all the early adopters! Really made up for all of you! So - you may have only got some canned water and Jaffa cakes - for your efforts but you were all part of automotive history! Kudos!

How long do you get premium connectivity for on the Y long range? Is it a month only?

 

[jamowill]

Yeah, picked up the car and then got an email confirming the 30 day trial of premium connectivity. £9.99 a month if you want to keep it thereafter.

Cheers. Haven’t received an email yet. I’ve gotten the Ryzen chip and the LTE also has been really fast so will most likely opt to pay the £9.99.
