Just to let you all know they fit fine! Picked up my car today and tested them. They look much better!

Finally picked up my MYLR today. It was well worth the wait!! No issues on collection. It only had 44% charge but I’m at a supercharger now and I’m enjoying playing so that doesn’t matter.
I’m one of the lucky ones with USS which I am happy about after just reverse parking. No other upgrades that I can see!

Been to Manchester Trafford this morning to collect the new Model Y.
what a crap journey over, it’s only 35 miles but took over 2 hours due to fog and a lane closure on M62…so we were late but it didn’t matter.
really impressed with the hand over in so far as deletion of the outgoing M3, transfer of my info to the new car etc. it kind of just happened, I didn’t have to do anything!
out to the car, look round and a couple of minor blemishes on drivers passenger door - some sticky stuff probably residue of protective covering used in transportation. Didn’t bother to report it as car is in for pro polishing and ceramic coating in a couple of weeks and it can be sorted then.
as expected, no USS. Looks like old cameras but I can’t be sure, they seem to give a clear enough picture anyway. Type 2 and granny cable, parcel shelf, warning triangle and tow hook all in the frunk (shown on screen now as boot
) . 52% charge and 5 miles on the clock.
set off and stopped as planned at Birch Services for Greggs and a coffee, by the time we got there (13 miles) everything was calibrated.
this time we opted for the white interior and I am delighted with that decision. Looks great imho.
sat in the back once we got home, I hadn’t realised how much room there is in the back!
overall well happy, looking forward to a 500+ mile round trip to Scotland at the weekend.

This made me smile! Also never had a brand new car and am counting the sleeps now haha.
Ah fmll.... I want to drive into London and not pay the Congestion charge or ULEZ!!
I wonder if TFL already know the car is ULEZ exempt? Will have to tempt fate of course.
Picked up form Manchester Trafford Centre. Was booked for 10:30am but got there a little early about 10:15am which was good as had to wait in a queue for about 15 mins as quite a few people collecting at the same time.
Once I was seen it took less than 5 mins to confirm the details and be handed my key cards and sent on my way. All very quick and smooth.
Chap came out straight away to look at the issue with the wing mirror and waited until I have processed the service request on the app.
Yeah the car will be ULEZ - as with all electric cars....I drive in and out daily.
As for the congestion zone you'll need you logbook as proof so will likely get charged.
They know about ULEZ exemption but you still need to apply for the 100% discount on congestion charge.
I got a screenshot of the V5C registration from the lease provider (not the actual colourful booklet) and could apply for the discount with that. Was accepted and confirmed within 1 day.
Picked our MY LR at Brent Cross Delivery Hub today - quick in and out - complete contrast from my first time (3 yrs ago Fremont M3 
)
Absolutely no issues - all good on panel gaps, paint, ppf - everything went fine - came with 44% charge - no USS - has old cameras - was scary reversing into the driveway today

The lids don't seem to fit flush with the rest of the carpet as they do on my Q2 MY. Perhaps it's the photo... and my eyes
.Yeah it does have a parcel shelf mate. VIN in signature.
They do sit flush, probably a camera angle issue. I actually had the Tesla staff install them as I told them the App said it doesn’t fit. They said, they just had a fresh delivery of them and knew nothing about the message in the Tesla shop.The lids don't seem to fit flush with the rest of the carpet as they do on my Q2 MY.

Give TFL a ring. You can actually get through to a human being in reasonable time. They are very pleasant humans, in my experience - just for peace of mind.

White interior - agreed; five months and still delighted with the decision particularly as Tesla dropped the partially white door liner as seen on early US Ys.Been to Manchester Trafford this morning to collect the new Model Y.
