I have to say the black with black wheels really stuck out amongst the crowd! Congrats

Nope, never came with the car so bought it on Amazon... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B093VMR4WL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So after 190 miles back from Southampton I can confirm that
1. The Tesla Y is absolutely amazing
2. Im not a fan of the Gemini wheels and the 20ās look fab. The suspension is firm yes, but the reviews are a nonsense, itās not too hard and mine doesnāt crash and bang on country roads and I live in a village so plenty of crappy roads around. Drive is fab. My last car was an EQC which was like driving on marshmallow and totally lacked feel.
3. The wing mirrors are too small and too tinted but itās no biggie.
4. You donāt need a parcel shelf
5. Boom box is brill. And the light show is brilliant. Little kids and big kids will love it
6. Black and black or white and black are the best colours IMO.
7. The view out of the rear window is horrid, but you can put the cameras on so no biggie.
8. I canāt really see the issue with the floor mats. They arenāt beautiful, but hey, they are floor mats.
9. Itās plenty quick enough (May change my mind over time) and my car before the EQC was an RS3.
10. Voice control doesnāt seem to understand me and Iām from middle England. It does understand if I put on a German accentā¦.weird, probs need to have a play

2. I prefer the 20ās over the 19ās would be a nicer thing to say. Each to their own. (I have the 19ās and love them, no need to push your opinions on others here, save if for FB) keep this forum positive
Ha ha, sorry, fair point. Just sharing my view. Fabulous car either way2. I prefer the 20ās over the 19ās would be a nicer thing to say. Each to their own. (I have the 19ās and love them, no need to push your opinions on others here, save if for FB) keep this forum positive
10. Voice wasn't recognising me either. Was really annoying as the vehicle I test drove was perfect. When I got home I checked the settings and "Voice Recognition Language" was set to "Dansk"!
Ah that would explain it. Iāll have a look tomorrow10. Voice wasn't recognising me either. Was really annoying as the vehicle I test drove was perfect. When I got home I checked the settings and "Voice Recognition Language" was set to "Dansk"!
Sorry for Q2) I meant on a white model Y how does your Rimitrex look vs buying the 20ā inductions ?

Tesla UK Management confirmed to us the other week that British English voice recognition has a long way to go and they're working hard on it, it will improve massively 'soon'
Why not spray the standard covers? Rimetrix are far too expensive for what essentially are 4x Ā£30 trims and the colour makes them look too artificial/plastic IMO.

Day 1 pics (Rimetrics will be on them on day 2) ... Collected from Southampton!
Did 285 miles on day 1 and very much impressed. First impressions:
1. Ride was superb. 19" are much better than the 20" that I test drove. Having said that I did not find any fault with 20" as well!!
2. Autopilot (EAP) was amazing - Stress free driving for most parts of the motorway. Tried it on local roads, but I did not have the confidence to persist.
3. Heard bad reviews about TACC, but did not have any issues. Even for someone who is using it for the first time, it worked like charm.
4. No phantom braking in 210 odd miles of autopilot driving - I guess I was just lucky with this one.
5. Auto high beam seemed to be working unlike what people said - at least I did not have anyone flashing at me in the 50 ish miles of night driving on single carriage way with no street lights.
6. It did not always automatically connect to my phone's Bluetooth for media and phone although it worked fine as car key. I had to manually connect a few times while it automatically connected a few times. Will have to keep watching.
7. Stopped at 2 super chargers and the Tesla reps were available to help and/or answer any questions - I thought WoW. Although I did not have any questions, one of them walked me to the services with an umbrella when it was raining heavily!
8. Late in the night, I stopped at another super charger which only had CCS ports. A poor chap who bought a used Model S (with lifetime supercharging!) today came in with 0% charge left only to find out the none of them had a port that could fit his vehicle. He tried to put an adaptor which was in his car (he did not know anything about it) and eventually he only managed to lock the adaptor but not charge. Me also being new to this, I couldn't help him. I suggested him to call Tesla roadside assistance. Hope he managed to sort it out!

MYLR White/White Inductions
If money is not an issue then go with your gut. I changed back to 20ās after the test drive as I didnāt want any regrets.
Itās not that I donāt like the Geminiās, itās just for me, seeing the inductions on a white Y in Manchester made me think WOW.
I also ended up going for white interior too after seeing it.
Same. I wondered what dansk meant when I was looking through options. Mine was setup in kph too so had to pull over and change that10. Voice wasn't recognising me either.

Has anyone else had issues with the app? Iāve got the latest version but it doesnāt want to connect the car is showing up but just keeps saying it canāt connect. I bought EAP but they didnāt seem to have been enabled nor is premium connectivity. Do I need to upgrade the firmware first? Got home and connected to wifi but said v10 was latest?
And when I log into my Tesla account on the web nothing is showing up (lease car so didnāt have the order) but interestingly my supercharge session does show
