UK 2021 Model 3 Q3 collection and delivery experiences

[NJR46]

Love it congratulations. Maybe the Blue water ones all start with GJ71 that's how mine starts too enjoy.... Any faults? How was the handover?

Hi! Sorry been out and about and fiddling with everything!! Currently sat at a Supercharger.

Handover was excellent. Super easy. Car is immaculate as far as I can tell. No issues whatsoever. No faults. Not sure what everything does quite yet but slowly figuring it out.

…and yes, it seems all current Bluewater collection cars are GJ71.

Here she is guys and girls!…..

Got my fingers crossed for a match asap - more likely November for the start of Q4 deliveries. Gone for the white interior. Your car looks stunning!!! congratulations

Where are u picking up from? I'm bluewater in 14 lonnnnnng days

Hey!

So, there were what seemed like about a hundred M3’s at the collection area. Didn’t look all over but don’t recall seeing any MSM’s! So, you’re in a rare club it seems

Tracker was perfect, accurate to the minuet. Rushed straight so not had a play yet but very happy!

im assuming easy entry settings are seat as far back and low down as possible? So it lets you enter and exit easily?

It is whatever works best for you. I take the seat back and up, with the steering wheel moved forward (easier in an out, not getting any younger ). Then when I get in, hit the brake and I'm lowered down into the cockpit

I've started waving at Tesla 3 owners who look thoroughly bewildered as I drive past in my old Golf. Is there a rule about waiting until after delivery day before you wave like an absolute child at every single one you see? My wife believes I should follow this rule.

So found a light scratch above the handle on the near side rear door.
guessing I need to log this via the app once my car shows up?

Oh no. Is there a chance that they might push back and say that it needed to be logged b4 signing? Or is there a window of opportunity that they give?

Yep. Log it in the app as soon as you have access

 

[Erol]

Yep. Log it in the app as soon as you have access

I’ve just got access and logged it. Uploaded a photo of it too. Got a mobile technician coming on Wednesday.
when will I find out if they will do it for free?

You get to log any issues within 100 miles on the app

That’s reassuring!!

Pretty sure anything you log would be free within 100 miles as whatever the issue is was unlikely to be of your doing. You should be fine.

Keep us posted on that @Erol would be good to know how they handle stuff like this

I have a question for black M3 owners - how noticeable are swirl marks in the paint? Anyone got any photos?

I think it depends massively on how it’s cleaned. Obviously, if you go to the usual hand car wash places it’ll be more obvious when it’s sunny, but if you can be bothered to clean it yourself and get the proper microfibre mitts etc then it won’t be so obvious. Like most, you’ll eventually get bored of cleaning yourself so there’s some enevitablity (is that a word?) that you’ll see some swirl marks. Will send some photos when I have it cleaned

Seems to be an emerging pattern with the missing SuC miles.
From what I've read, it should show up in your loot box not long after signing over the car, like almost immediately.

If you all could keep us updated about it, I would be very grateful. Hopefully it's an easy resolution and you get the SuC miles asap

It doesn’t unfortunately. The loot box thing took sometime for me but the SuC miles doesn’t get activated the same day. Not sure how long it takes but my visit was after 3-4 days by that time it was activated.
