    Think you're right, when I go in they say 2020 model, all I can find is a real bag hook! So no after market bag hooks for the frunk currently?

    It's a great place to pick up from. Mine was right outside the front door. Felt like royalty!

    Got a call today at 4pm from Tesla Dublin, saying that if I wanted they could deliver the car today at 5pm, a day ahead of schedule as it had arrived and was being valeted...
    ... sadly I had a meeting I couldn't skip so had to stick to my original delivery of tomorrow morning.

    It looked like an electronic button on the top of the plug, the guy said you had to press it and then it should release. Looked similar to the home charger more like a light than a button.

    That operates the charge port on the car and not for releasing from the stall.

    If you press it close to the charge port on the car, it will open the charge port - other methods of opening are also available, such as lightly pushing the lower edge of the charge port.

    Once charging is complete, or you wish to stop the charge early, pressing the button sill stop the charge and unlock the charge port allowing the cable to be removed from the car.

    It does nothing with regard to releasing the cable from the supercharger stall. The cable/plug is only hooked onto the supercharger stall and requires a slight push in and tilt up of the plug to unhook. Some are reported to be a little tight though, but as mentions earlier, some are only lightly balanced and can fall out onto the car with a slight knock.

    I’m collecting my LR M3 tomorrow in Leeds. (very excited!:))

    How long should I allow for the whole process? I’ve got a trade in. I’m thinking about 10 mins looking over the car should sufficient right?

    thanks

    I have this exact issue too, but only on the driver's side. Passenger side is perfect. I did ask them to adjust it, but I'm still not happy with it yet. Note mine is a Fremont built 2021 refresh car from late December, not MIC. But other than than this specific issue, it's all been good so far.
