UK 2021 Model 3 Q1 collection and delivery experiences
- Thread starter 403 Forbidden
- Start date
I picked up today and didn’t get free supercharger use, even with asking. But my app activated within half an hour, which may have been why.
Thank you, yes that's what I meant. I'm waiting to receive my collection date.
Tesla delivered the car a day early to me in Dublin. I couldn't be happier with the SR+ that I got. I'm coming from a BMW so I was a bit apprehensive. For all of those about to get one, the build quality, panel gaps, paint, interior and driving experience is great. Way better than I remembered when I took a LR for a test drive last year.
I collected from Thorpe Park and said to the rep I heard we can get supercharger access to top up, he said did I need it and I said it depended how much charge it had, so he said he would delay activating the app then. When I got to the car there was 140m range showing so worthwhile asking for. I'd asked for 3 hours delay and 3 hours 10mins later my app activated. Although to be fair given I've got Octopus Go cheap rates to charge it, it was really more an opportunity to work out how the supercharger worked before I needed it for a real charge. It was worth doing, as the first time I plugged in it didn't work and I asked a Tesla rep at the service centre to check what I was doing wrong. We just unplugged and replugged in and it was ok that time. The other main learning is it can take a lot of jiggling the plug to get it out of the supercharger, I don't think the button on the handle works very well. So having seen multiple Youtubers going through the pains of getting charging to work sometimes, it was actually good to have a hiccup to remind me.
Ha! My first supercharge experience yesterday was identical. Had to ask for help and she simply plugged it back in again - I felt like a total noob.

What button? There is a button to open charge port/end charge but I've not come across any button needed to remove it from the stall although I have yet to do v3.
Biggest issue I found is them being too loose and falling out on their own and hitting the car - a problem with v2 chargers when there is a second cable.

Can someone who has taken recent delivery please confirm whether the Roadside Safety Kit is still included.

Not I'm afraid! The frunk is slightly smaller (as a result of fitting the heat pump) and the re-design does/did not allow for them....
I am encouraged by what on the face of it is a marked improvement in fit and finish quality, I hope this trend continues through to the Ps that should come through in May 
I guess they are, or very soon will be in production!
I guess they are, or very soon will be in production!Thanks - do the ones I see on ebay/amazon still work to fit in, sounds like these would be ideal?
I've not seen any that would fit, post a link of the ones you are referring to, I'll take a look and see if I can help out
Collected from Birmingham today. Fit and finish is exemplary, as was the handover process. They have 24 SuC on site so the car was charged to 90% for me. As soon as I'd signed they activated the premium connectivity trial, which sparked the phone into action.
While playing with the settings I noticed the USB key was missing from the glove box, so they sent me over to the Digbeth showroom where they sorted me out with one in 10 minutes.
The car was pre-conditioning when I picked it up and let me tell you, the heated steering wheel is mint!
