Photo from BBC News. I feel gutted for the person who collected this car and then had it squished

The photo you have all been waiting for. 32kg labrador.
Thanks - making me feel much better about the prospect of a 20kg whippet alongside a buggy.
Anyone know where they’ve hidden the parcel shelf, is there some clever hideaway?
Madness at Fleet, I feel for existing Tesla owners stuck in this. Car came with 32%. Tesla servic guys here helping queueing now.

My experience of test driving the MYLR on 19" wheels compared to my 2019 M3LR with 18" aeros is that overall the Y felt like a better (higher, smoother and quieter) ride. The higher driving position plus slightly higher ground clearance gets you away from the bumps and noise you might normally experience at speed and it felt more confident dealing with uneven road surfaces. The Y felt nimble for it's size too - basically a higher 3.
My test drive covered a stretch of motorway, normal roads, single track country lanes, deep puddles, branches on the road after recent storms etc, so had lots to test the car with. I then did the same route in my 3 straight afterwards to compare.
I would certainly add a parcel shelf to the Y to damp some of the echo I could hear in the back though, and of course, the Model 3, being lower down and quicker, felt more 'sporty' on those country lanes
wow how much charge did you have? on my 3LR I picked it up in southampton with 40% and got home to windsor with 19% - Hilton services are close by so maybe 25% battery to get there from southampton?

Sound aside, I’d want a parcel shelf for security. Although all my usual boot gubbins (air compressor, wellies, sun visor etc) are in the sub-boot in my model 3, I woudln’t feel safe with anything being visible from outside in this country.
How is the width? Maybe not easy to tell on a test drive but again with congested roads and people parking on pavements these days, I don’t want a car any wider than necessary. Even just a couple of inches can make a difference and the 3 isn’t a ‘narrow’ car in the first place

Although the Y is about 2 inches wider than the 3 I really didn't notice any meaningful difference in the test drive and that was with some single lane driving plus having to avoid obstacles (large branches sticking out into or lying in the road) and traffic at passing spots. It felt easier dealing with those than in the 3 because of the bigger wheels/higher ground clearance when mounting verges etc.
