I think Companion deliveries started at the weekend. If not then tomorrow. We have no reason to think the cars have changed though have we? As far as we know it was just about build rate so if anything they might have left stuff off to speed up production!
Some Australian reviewers commented on the noticeable improved suspension in post shut down MYs vs their post shut down units. And I posted some photos in here from Chinese forums of the suspension arms being made of a different material post shut down units (no sure if that would change the suspension feel). Something has changed, but by how much or if it was a temporary measure, we will find out shortly.
I have a bigger problem - my wife is starting to drive it and she drives like she stole it! Will be lucky to get 2m per kwh..
This is pretty much me - just 3.5 weeks earlier...
I did not think you could move to Intelligent prior to receiving the car - as it needs to do a 'test' and connect to the car before confirming. Could be wrong. I'm on Go waiting for my car collection on 22nd.
Not an expert on this my any means, but i spoke to an Octopus customer services agent last week and he said that the switch of Intelligent had begun, and more importantly i'd fixed the current rates, and that it will take the team a couple of weeks to actually move. At some point i will then get an email to confirm that i can move, at which point i need to do a test charge. ALthough i'll have to delay the test charge til the 28th as that's when the car arrives.
Few pictures of the Y. It’s a 405xxx VIN. Drives amazingly, better than I remembered back in Feb and leaves most cars in its wake.It has rubber strips on boot edges (see pic) and have taken pic of front suspension - is this same as in past or new?? I have nothing to compare it to. As said before paintwork, gaps, interior etc etc is spot on. Newcastle centre did a good job and came with 87% charge. New Rimetrix 19 fitted easily, as rest of small accessories. Thankfully my garage measurements and Tesla dimensions matched and it fits the garage (otherwise divorce). Zappi is working well, eco++ moved excess generation to Y today rather than exporting at 4p. Octopus intelligent setup was simple and working well. Overall well worth the 7/12 wait, highs and lows, ships and no ships, covid shutdown etc etc. Hang in there everyone it is really worth it!!!!
No boot rattles and no lateral jerks. Our lanes are fairly potholed and it rides as well if not better than our Skoda Octavia estate 4x4 and certainly better than our previous TROC VW
True. I think the earliest collection (from Companion) starts on sep 7th. Not sure about delivery though.
What do you think of the Rimetrix? Was the process of getting them straight forward?
Rimetrix very good, quality product, easily fitted. They come well packed and tracked all they way from US. You do have to pay VAT, customs import charge and a small UK delivery charge on top of the cost to buy. CAme to around extra £70 but depends on exchange rate etc at time of buying. You don’t pay any US taxes.
