Model Y UK Delivery

Not nice... hopefully everything will be ok very soon.
Maybe ask Tesla for some goodies to compensate for all the hassle.
Best wishes friend!
You have mudflaps and PPF on the rear section? I assumed someone would figure out Scotland = Rainy and muddy.
Hi All - been lurking around here for a while..
Collected from Bluewater today - Model Y Grey/Black/Genimi's
Had a 10.30 appointment, arrived at 9.50 and it was dead quiet, just the two guys at the desk. Showed driving licence, was given an envelope and told to go find car in row S. Very very basic handover but all fine. They switch the hazard lights on remotely to help you find the car.
Now I have researched the car to death and consumed the user manuals in the last few days but nothing prepared me for the next bit. Me and the wife spent what seemed like ages trying to work out how to get the damn hazard lights to switch off!! After pressing every screen option searching, I gave up and asked google - who knew! The switch is above your head... we felt right royally stupid
Anyway - 31% charge - banged it on the supercharger (looked like an amateur again). First I couldn't release the plug from the charger (didn't pull hard enough) then it wouldn't fit the car.. There are two different leads..
30 mins later I was on my way and am now a Tesla expert!
Car seems fine - only issue was two badly fitted wheel covers with bent clips which i have straightened out..

I’m not sure that the Y comes with mud flaps on the rear. You can’t buy them in the Tesla shop.

You are right, it doesn't. Mud flaps on the front only and PPF between the rear wheels and back doors.
Entirely my fault for phrasing it badly. I meant mud flaps generally and PPF on the rear. Tho you can order read mudflaps 3rd party, which I think I will. I've seen a few around here with them and they look good.
Ye that was the first thing I noticed when driving. Not an issue, but noticeable vs the Model 3.
I also didn't realise how big it was.

Rimetrix wheel covers back in stock for Gemini 19". They are also delivering to the UK (for a hefty $135 USD delivery charge). Just ordered mine. Will look great on my MY LR Red due to pick up from Bristol on 18th March. I'm bursting.
this is what it will look like : https://preview.redd.it/rad3ub719bl...bp&s=7654512d2c34b87c6949ad04e50e50b17bb5e953
A bit like that for me, but different - I've been driving crew cab pick-ups for 20 years so never look through the back window normally - I look in the rear view mirror of the MY and think 'my god - I can see'!
Doesn't look like they are collecting VAT so there will probably be charges on delivery
