Takes a little while I think, mine was a few hours then at bottom of screen there is a button for Tesla Spotify !!
Does anyone know what the extra set of mud flaps in the boot are for ? Front or rear and how to fit them ??

It asked me for a personal log in or use Tesla account. Tesla account is free
You should see “Login with Tesla account” or something similar…. I did it a couple of hours ago!
Answered my own question - yes it does, I just needed to reboot the car and the free Tesla sign in appeared!
Well I have only just come back from being out all day with the car.
Firstly, great tip on the supercharger being free before the app is activated. Because I was getting mine delivered, Tesla sends an email asking you to sign it to confirm you have taken delivery and to activate your app. Well of course I purposely did not sign the delivery confirmation until a few hours later so I suggest anyone who is getting a delivery and wants to get a full tank, delay signing the delivery confirmation until after you have filled up.
I have taken about a dozen people out for a spin today, someone already mentioned it here, its literally a swear pedal because guaranteed, someone will swear once they feel the acceleration.
I haven't even taken many photos today, just been busy driving about.....its surpassed the expectations and all those lucky owners who are still waiting, you are almost there, trust me, it will be worth the wait!
Just about to go out again to get the missus friend for a spin, last one for the day, felt like a taxi all day but a more fun one lol

Not sure that's quite the case. I think it's your first supercharge on collection day.
Certainly when I picked up my last Tesla, and my wife's model 3 we got app access straight away at handover, but supercharged for free at Abington on the way home an hour or so later....

Well, what a day!
Got my delivery declaration early this morning, then nothing, absolutely nothing until about 2pm when a text came through to track my delivery.
A completely uneventful delivery. He backed it off the trailer then onto my drive, handed over the key cards and then took a picture of the number plates and each wheel. Done, nothing else to do.
I meticulously checked the car and I only have one verdict... perfection, well other than a little bit of glue residue on the inside of the roof glass. Not a problem, it will be easy enough to remove.
Off we went, all four of us, on a 100 mile trip to the coast for fish and chips (not in the car obviously). I hadn't driven a Tesla pair to today and I am speechless, the acceleration is somewhere between a missile and light speed, it tried to pull the skin off my body! Truly amazed. I recieved the car with 120 miles, which was around 35%. Got back with 9 miles left and then off to a local free 50Kw charger to test the charging ability.
Mine has PWS, no passenger lumbar support, I won't have much need for that as I won't be using that seat very much
Those of you who are eagerly awaiting delivery, you will be amazed when it arrives, you're in for a very special treat.

Great first day review.
Got to say though, you’ve got nerves of steel arriving home with 9 miles of range left. I’m still in full range anxiety mode….. oh crap I’ve only got 120 miles left and I’ve got nowhere to go….. best nip to the supercharger.

In fairness I have use of a BMWi3 (not that I like it) at work so have all but eradicated range anxiety as a result.
Thanks
Yeah fair enough. I guess my thing is that I don’t quite trust the reported range yet. It’s like having a phone that would say 10% charge left but then shuts off because it’s not calibrated correctly. I know they’re two different things but I just don’t quite trust it yet.In fairness I have use of a BMWi3 (not that I like it) at work so have all but eradicated range anxiety as a result.

Finding a petrol station was always the underlying reassurance that you could be back on your way again in minutes. With this, even if you find a decent charge point, unless it’s a Supercharger you’ve got to factor in hours.

Finally finished, spent the last 6 hours cleaning and ceramic coating this beauty! I need to sleep for a day!
Have to wait until next Friday for my blue and white but really good to see others having good experiences.
Delivery day for me. No sign of a tracking link yet but had an email asking me to sign the documents so hopefully a good sign 
charger installed yesterday so just need a car to go with it

Charging for the first time, interesting that you can now charge the car up to 90% for “daily” use -> must be the new batteries?
No. That's always been the case - exactly the same in my 2019 LR.
The "new" batteries (LFP), only in the made-in-China SR+ remove the "daily" limit entirely. With those you can (are recommended?) to charge to 100% regularly.
Car arrived and it's perfect can't find any problems at all. I was worried it might seem slow as our test drive was in the LR but it put a huge smile on my face. Got the tracking link ten minutes after delivery but the driver called to say he was nearly here. No passenger lumbar support and delivered with 69% charge. Just seems to have an alert saying it was booked in at Leeds service centre this morning so hope that disappears soon.

What’s the general consensus on how picky we should be with the odd few marks and blemishes that are bound to be on there?
Mine on the whole is really good, panels are great etc and the paintwork looks good. However, there are some scratches on the passenger side of the windscreen. They’re not proper chips or cracks, but there’s like 3 marks that look like stones have hit it maybe on the back of the delivery lorry. On the whole they’re pretty minor so I’d feel a bit of a moaner telling Tesla about it but ignoring my Britishness, I’ve just paid £62k so maybe I should do?
What would they even do though? I’m pretty sure the only remedy would be a whole new windscreen so that’s quite drastic, so maybe it’ll be “within spec”.
Maybe I should just get on with it, but if it was say a new iPhone with any blemishes it would go straight back. Totally different things I guess though.
Also, it seems to be coming off but there’s like this covering of fine grit marks over the car. Maybe again due to delivery but it’s like covered in fine sand which I thought had scratched it but they’re coming away with a lot of elbow grease. I wonder what that’s from.
