Everything I’ve read on MYP has suggested towards the end of 2022, certainly not June.
I believe the MYP's will be the first MIG cars - hence the delay here as Berlin opened later than they expected.
Most other Y's for the UK will come from China in the short - medium term I think.

I expect that all Amazon links are automatically altered (to include TMC Affiliate Code), so that they make a fraction of a penny on each purchase - if so that might have been the reason (i.e. before your post was merged with the other thread ... and back again!). It does the site a favour when Amazon links are used whenever available ...
Editing posts would be fine if everyone was honest ... "rewriting history" is a nightmare for threaded conversations ... and moderators. I'll be interested to see how Elon gets on with the Twitter Edit button
You could ask for your (very helpful) list post to be converted to a WIKI, which would then allow editing.
There is also a "Supporting Membership" level which allows editing of 1st post.

Maybe the press cars had carlos-fandango wheels? Link added for our younger viewers
I suspect that Berlin will sell all-it-can-make LHD, and more profit / benefit from Berlin producing those, for local market, to avoid China-transport cost on the majority. As China is making RHD for other territories, Japan, Australia, as well as GB / Ireland, then maybe it will make more sense to keep RHD production in China. The rumours I hear is that first RHD from Berlin will be Performance. Not sure why the performance, specifically, would be first but maybe marketing of P-models in Europe exceeds other markets, and thus manufacturing all Ps in Berlin (perhaps even stopping making P-Models in China?) is either most lucrative or highest-throughput on production lines. All supposition based on no actual data and my poor knowledge of logistics and marketing!
They actually emailed back today asking if I want it to me made into a wiki!I expect that all Amazon links are automatically altered (to include TMC Affiliate Code), so that they make a fraction of a penny on each purchase - if so that might have been the reason (i.e. before your post was merged with the other thread ... and back again!).

When I visited the Showroom, the SA said that the MYP would not start shipping from Berlin until they had made the LHD cars. End 2022 earliest.
True or not, I wouldn't take much notice of what a local SA says. I'm pretty sure they don't get any extra information that isn't already out in the public domain.
How did you find it ?Went for an M3 test drive last week and saw the MY on display and ended up reserving it cos it's just way too good not to miss.
Will be testing the MY today and hoping it lives up to how it looks on the outside
Just came bk from the test drive of MY-19in
All in all pretty amazed at how smooth it was. I'll caveat by saying I'm driving a 320d M sport right now so I'm used to lower suspensions and stuff. The car is super quiet. And the handling around corners considering its a 4x4 is pretty solid.
I also tried the autopilot on for a cheeky few streets and it is pretty cool. I literally kept my foot hovered above brake just in case but otherwise I trusted it. It'll take time to fully trust it to only have one hand on the wheel and not constantly have "Elon Musk is a God" religious mental chants to ensure the car doesn't indeed slow down when it needs to.
Whenever i needed to view the rear mirror I was fine with it, never really struggled with the visibility that people claim. And yeah it's just an LR but the pick up acceleration was pretty good. Had to overtake a few cyclists on the way and felt pretty confident.
But yeah overall super smooth and I'm glad I reserved it! Just the higher elevation is brilliant cos I'm so used to lower cars and I just wanted a change.
I had ordered a P on day mid October and changed to LR because of delays. There is a separate thread (MYP UK waiting room) on here, you might find more information there
I took my wife’s Tiguan R Line current shape (but pre face lift) out for a drive today, and the ride in it is definitely no smoother than my MY!
Pretty sure most of the motoring press said the Tiguan is pretty much the perfect family car when it came out, so I don’t know why they were so unhappy with the ride in the MY.

Company ordered my Y a couple weeks back, Silver (*Grey) with inductions. When they ordered it, the Tesla site indicated May as arrival, about 5 days later it changed to July!
Already sent my RS4 back so am currently carless until delivery.
I'll admit I am not the biggest Tesla fan. Despite being a developer and loving tech, the entirely minimalist looks still feels off to me. Nonetheless, it was the only electric car with that level of performance within my price band, so unless I wanted to be crawling to 60, it will do for now.

Between Tesla and VW, which company has a marketing budget to advertise in the motoring press?
That’s a decent point. Whatcar etc survive by advertising money etc. At least you know Tesla don’t give a penny for a decent review.
The issue was that the reviewers had 20" Model LRs with tyres overinflated. Which compounded to make it a rougher ride. On 19" tyres at 42PSI ride the so much smoother. Although I have been in a 20" one with 42PSI and it is noticeable more firm (jumpy/uncomfortable) compared to 19". That 1" makes a difference But 20" is not terrible .. just not as relaxing, but certainly not bad
