Norwich Service Centre, where?

Hi mate, yes that was me! Was good to meet you, albeit very briefly as I was starting my test drive.
Overall very impressed with the Y, and I will probably get one, the space in the front, and especially in the back and boot is a massive improvement over the 3. Performance and handling appear to be extremely close to the 3, so definitely a non-issue for me.
There is a slight reservation though, the ride is slightly crashier than the 3, and there are boomy sounds transferred into the cabin each time the wheel hits a major imperfection in the road. It was even worse when I first started the test drive, and as others are reporting, the tyre pressures were way too high, around 49 psi, so I stopped and lowered them all to 42 psi. The structural 4680 battery pack may improve this, as well as giving other improvements to the car, so I will at least wait until the first US 4680 Ys are delivered, which will reportedly be by the end of this month.
You can just book it online here:

Or at least I’ve put down a £100 deposit for one, to guarantee the current price if prices go up.
Good news that it's open! Really torn between 3 and Y for the next one, so will be useful if I can test the Y!

One of the service advisors advised that the Norwich Service Centre in theory should be opening for service as soon as the “end of next week”, i.e. probably Monday 28th, depending if they are trained in the vernacular of Elon time. It’s not yet there when I try to reschedule my current service booking.
I’ve got 5th April booked for condensation in my pillar cameras.
I’ve waited for Norwich to open. Tried other centres but never swaps to mobile ranger so I cancelled. Didn’t fancy a 200 mile round trip. Now it’s just 25 miles.

Earliest date now Tue 12th April from the reschedule of existing service booking on the app, so very quickly filled up the service time. Still going off to Chelmsford with a Go Zero chauffeur shuttle back and return in a few days time, so long as they have the necessary parts that weren't available in time for my initial booking date. Is a warranty repair as it happens enabling loan vehicle, except Chelmsford are very light on those. I'd rather have back-ache inducing suspension failure of some kind addressed sooner of course (by the trainers, not the recent trainees).

Heard back from Jordan C (advisor at Norwich SC), confirming that they are indeed bookable for service as of today, so revised the building properties in OpenStreetMap to match. Exciting times.
Guessing no word on Superchargers being put in? I'll be in Norwich for Easter to visit my Mother and looks like the closest Rapid (150kW) charger to where she lives is the single InstaVolt one at McDonald's at Norwich Airport. I also notice the Gridserve hub in Postwick isn't open until end of April! Maybe one to look forward to come Christmas... or 
they finally put in ones at the Tesla Service/Sales centre.
