UK 2021 Model 3 Q4 Collection and Delivery Experiences

If RWD then 275 miles represents a battery that is 4.6% larger than the previous SR+ (LFP).
Cold weather seems only to have a small effect of Rated Range, like less than 1 mile in my case...

The only way cold weather will affect rated range is if a part of the battery is 'reserved' until the battery warms up - you will see the reserved portion on the app or on the charging display in the car. In that case, the rated range will only reflect the battery proportion available.

Cold weather will however considerably increase consumption/efficiency meaning the rated range will be even more optimistic than it normally is.

Picked up from Southampton this morning and drove home for an hour. All very easy. Dropped off my trade in, all they checked was the mileage and V5. They gave me the key and left me to look round the car.

All looked good and great quality, no panel gaps or paint issues as far as I could see. I gave them the OK and they activated the car and I drove off. I was there for probably less than 20 mins.

Car looks great, had 30% charge, so enough to get home and plug in.

Overall, exactly what I was expecting and very happy.

looks fantastic and thanks for the pictures, this will be me on the 8th; fingers crossed. If mine has 30% charge might be an issue getting back to just north of Newbury. I wonder where the nearest supercharger is to the Southampton delivery Hub??.

No rear heated seats or steering wheel yet. Hi hey told me the car needs connection to WiFi and an update to enable them.

Type your home destination into the navigation and if you need to charge the car will direct you accordingly.

Otherwise tap left lower corner of the map if there isn't a lightning flash symbol already showing. Sutton Scotney en route but it has a reputation of being one of the few slow/inconsistent Superchargers due to "age and infirmity" ...

@badbadger06 heated seats working for you today?

Nothing for me just yet I have done 2 updates, its getting wifi from the house at about 20mbps so should be sufficient. Will try a hotspot connection like MrSniffles suggested from my phone at lunchtime and see if it makes any difference.

Finally happened! No heated rears or steering wheel yet but expecting them to come on soon. Guy at the collection centre said it will be a firmware update very soon.

You rock up to the collection centre, park your car, hand over the keys. They check the mileage and that’s it.

Haha, few here I think sipping their whiskeys from their Tesla decanter, while watching Elon Musk in their Tesla duds and fizzy pop holder hats.

Expensive and out of stock too!

The water bottle looks a bit more subtle

Anyone picking up from Bluewater today?

I've Googled to see what the pickup location looks like (didn't want to do a reccy as we are 1.5 hours away here in sunny Suffolk), but would be interested to see if anyone's picked up their Tesla from there today?
