You need not worry, My MY Long Range was made in China and totally perfect with zero issues including paint work.

What’s the shipping time from China if they are indeed MIC? Just trying to work back from those earliest Nov EDDs, which makes it feel like manufacturing will be v soon!

From my extensive viewing of the LR arrivals it typically takes 24-25 (ish) days from Shanghai to Southampton. A few more days for transporter movements. Wouldn't surprise me if they're being made around now

Probably best coming from China if you want it soon … A fire broke out at Tesla Gigafactory Berlin; locals call for production stop
I replied back earlier to the text to see if I could switch my collection location and the person I was speaking to said that no one has been matched to car just yet, but I would need to raise a Case if I wanted to change. So I think production should happen any day now and then the lead time from China.
China or Berlin has its pros and cons. China, been up and running for a long while now so should have ironed out a lot of their production issues, while the opposite could be said for Berlin.
I'll just be happy to have and drive the thing at this point

Has there been any MYPs from China reviews before now?
Has there been any reviews on MYLR suspensions from Berlin too?
I’ve seen the video and it was comparing a P from Berlin to a cheaper car with a different suspension setup.

RSymons tested a MIB MYP on YouTube a few months ago and apparently the suspension was noticeably softer than a MIC LR despite the bigger wheels/lowered suspension:
In a more recent video & he also mentioned the newer UK MIC LRs have better suspension:
Having owned a March 22 MYLR (with 20" alloys) I can confirm the suspension is pretty harsh & undoubtedly the weakest point of the car; I really hope my Performance will be in keeping with the MIB MYP in that regard...
Yeah, fingers crossed.
I don't think we can really know until some start to arrive whether they have a better suspension than the LRs.
I also don't think it's fair to compare the Berlin MYPs to the China LRs and assume we'd get the same suspension.

Agree - you get what you get.
It's very subjective so keep it or sell it if you don't like it

I have driven 4 china made LR now and I can tell you from completely non scientific feeling the cars now feel softer to me than they did earlier in the year. Completely non scientific as I say but you really don't need to panic about a poor ride because it is no where near as stiff as some YouTubers have said.
It's no Range Rover or Bentley but it is a perfectly acceptable ride!

Either way I'm sure it wont ride any harder than my old BMW X3M40i with 21" wheels + Run Flats 
I have a Q3 batch China LR with 20 inductions and I found the Q1 batch test drive MYLR with 19s to be harsher than my Q3 with 20s. I also have access to a Q1 car and there is a noticeable difference. Either MIC seem to have improved the suspension, or I got lucky.
There have been reports of an improvement from July at MIC, unsure how true that is though.
I’m coming from an X4 M40i with the same wheels. I thought it was pretty soft!Either way I'm sure it wont ride any harder than my old BMW X3M40i with 21" wheels + Run Flats

It was fine in normal/comfort mode, but when switching to sport+ (which I drove in most of the time when alone) I thought it was rock hard - All Subjective really though!
