Went with my daughter to collect car from Staines, she was my copilot while i concentrated on the driving
Lots of cars parked up with more arriving by transporter while i was there. Not busy, fast and efficient, App started working while i was at the counter.
No issues with paint or anything else as far as i could see, just some residual adhesive from the trim protection film.
Tow bar, emergency kit, granny charger and charge cable all present. Parcel shelf was better made than i was led to believe from the reviews.
50% charge.
My wife's reaction when i got home was "it looks like a giant Vauxhall Astra" which was nice of her LOL.
I'm sure she will love it when she goes out in it as its bloody brilliant.

Where is the tow bar stowed, and have you taken the panel off to see electric hookup for it? Just something I hadn't seen anyone mention. Looks amazing collecting exactly the same colour on Saturday
How do you find the boot size is it larger than expected and could it do with cargo nets to stop things sliding around. Sometimes a cars boot is great for holidays but on practical day to day trips when you dont need the size we end up sticking the shoping behind the back seats
Very nice I've got those wheel covers to go on my car. Congrats my neighbor has the performance and has to be the best looking car in my opinion.
I was wondering how you finding the boot size or does the Model Y now come with a cargo net. I mention as sometimes a large boot can be an obstacle.

It’s a large boot for the current breed of EVs, but it’s not exactly a large boot in the context of cars generally. In my Discovery I had a rubber floor liner which helped with items moving, plus a large boot organiser. I’ll probably use the same in the MY.

Collection tomorrow. Had a very good call from Toby at the Bristol hub, really helpful and offering me the chance to clear up any questions I might have.
My VIN and collection date have also finally appeared in the app this week, two or three weeks after being on the website.

I`m pretty sure this is now called an `Emergency Kit` (plasters/bandages/dressings/emergency triangle etc) and is included with your new car, though, I stand to be corrected if req`d
Good luck! Please do share your experience and findings if possible…I am collecting from the same location a week later.
Good touch, good to know. I wasn’t aware they did that. I’d better be on standby for a call from Toby.
Yes is included, plus a hiviz jacket.I`m pretty sure this is now called an `Emergency Kit` (plasters/bandages/dressings/emergency triangle etc) and is included with your new car, though, I stand to be corrected if req`d
MattM76, What are the jack plug things of which you speak?
Picking up my red MYLR on 20th. I have only ordered a rear boot liner so I can carry manure to my allotment
.Wondering about mudflaps - worthwhile?
Also I notice that locking wheel nuts are sold as an accessory - surely a car this costly has locking wheel nuts as standard?

I don't know about locking wheel nuts until the weekend when I collect but surely they're included
Think mine came with 2022.20 or something around that. 2022.24 came out the day I collected, and it hadn't shown it was available. Came up a few days later at home.. so I'd say relatively up to date, but may not be exact currently train!
Collecting mine this morning from Manchester. Feeling a bit like a kid at Christmas!
Quick question - has anyone had a dashcam fitted in the NW? I know that the car has its own rudimentary system, but having looked at footage, it’s not a patch on a dedicated system. Additionally, the Thinkware camera I have gives audible speed camera alerts.

Isn't that voice operated nowI want all the detailsI'm 99.9% certain indicator stalks are still included
Just picked up from a very wet Staines-upon-Thames.
Very easy, just showed driver's licence, signed for car, got given a temporary loan of an umbrella, got in car and drove off...
