Model Y UK Delivery

[Bathurst]

I spoke with a Tesla rep this afternoon, date provided was more likely to be 20th March at either Southampton or Bluewater locations for all London and South East deliveries. I’ve requested a home delivery as a result as I’ve sold my trade in vehicle and no real easy way to get to either location for me . Home delivery isn’t a guarantee but they will try their best as it’s a complimentary service.

As an update I’ve just received a text this evening offering collection dates from Southampton between 17-19th March, I’ve selected 19th for now and will speak with Tesla tomorrow about home delivery again. Don’t have the registration for the car yet so can’t start looking at insurance. Didn’t have any issues or delays cancelling my trade in, it just moved to a cash payment instead on my account.

must say this phantom braking issue is really starting me to think if this is the right purchase at the moment !

If you've not paid the invoice yet cancel your order. Better off blowing £100 than regretting spending £60k.

I had my logbook come through the post today. I noticed the power and then compared with the performance model 3. This is interesting...View attachment 772978

Here’s my M3LR

I’m guessing the Y has a more powerful motor to mitigate the increased weight?

It happens regularly in my work car around (2020 Polo Gti) also in 'regular' driving mode, no cruise control on etc.

This was the fundamental problem we had with the VW, there was no way to opt out and it was just plain dangerous. We'd be cruising at 70, pull out to overtake and it would slam on the brakes when a car was behind us etc. We forced our way out of the lease, threatened to take legal action and they got us out.

Not that it excuses anything or makes it less worrying but my last car (Range Rover) used to do the same phantom braking manoeuvre on occasion - not exclusively a Tesla issue.

same with my Volvo XC90

I've had an M3 for 2.5 yrs and do a reasonable amount of motorway driving. I use both adaptive cruise and auto lane keeping a lot, as in roughly 80% of my longer journeys. It is significantly less stressful than normal driving, though you need to pay attention.

Every now and then (once a week roughly for me) the car thinks there is an issue and it slows down. As you weren't expecting it it feels quite dramatic. You instinctively correct the car by pressing the throttle, which cancels the slowing down and order returns.

I'd prefer it didn't happen, but given the number of Teslas on the roads if it were a both common occurance and also caused actual accidents you'd be reading about it in the papers.

On balance the tech is a boon and I can live with the odd issue, though of course your mileage may vary as is shown by some of the other responses

There's no right answer to this as it's very much an individual choice but for me, having owned a car that did it from another make, I decided it wasn't really that big a deal. As other people have posted it's more an illustration of how far we are from FSD being a reality but, if you accept that you still need to pay almost as much attention as without any aids, then not surprising if/when it happens. The price of progress

How about insurance quotes ? This is my first car and the insurance is costing me a staggering 3375 Per year ! This might be a deal breaker for me right here !

Try admiral and also if you can, use their multicar cover. Ring them up also. I saved thousands!

Even if I am trading in my current vehicle? Would I still be able to save money ?
