Got to say, the quality of the car seems much better than my old Fremont car. The double glazed windows seem to keep the road noise down.

I’m heading there Monday to pick my LR up can help if needed. I wouldn’t charge you as well.I'm now at the point of paying someone to check my car in Bluewater before I come over (I'm in Northern Ireland). They say it's awaiting Service to sign off on it, I'm scared it's been hit or something and they aren't telling me lol.
No Reg yet (so they say) but know the Chassis, Standard White Model 3,19s and White interior with a chassis ending in 8324.
Anyone who can get me photos of this car I will pay for their time. So any Bluewater people wanting to get paid let me know!
where are you in kent chris?I’m heading there Monday to pick my LR up can help if needed. I wouldn’t charge you as well.
If it warms up?I was quite impressed with paint so far, and their prep seemed good as lots rain today and all the cars were beading nicely.
will still wash it tomorrow and if it warms up (or I get it in the garage with a heater!) might polish the main areas and rainx the windscreen and roof.
Cool, my family is from Maidstone.Just outside of Maidstone
I wouldn't recommend using RainX on the windscreen as it plays having with the wipers and is difficult to remove!rainx the windscreen and roof
Thanks for sharing; picking up on the 8th from Southampton and I can't help but wonder if mine's on a ship or already there, who knows. My reg is v similar to those, maybe they are working their way down a list in order of the last three digits, AK71 N.. AK71P.. etc..! I might be getting slightly bored waiting!Very disappointing collection at Southampton today’s could not find anything wrong with the car to moan about on the internet!
Luckily spotted some black grubby marks on the (white drivers seat), phew, forums are safe again.
Tip for those with tow bar, not in the car I was told there was supply issue and would come later from service center - first heard of this. After giving the car, as Mr Bridger would say “a good going over”, went back in to sign and said all was well - mentioned tow bar again and another tesla rep said “there’s a pallet of them out back” - so off they went and came back with one - sorted.
So make sure to ask a few times if you have tow bar and they say “supply issue” just in case they are “out back”.
Chatting to them they mentioned another ship was unloading today. Also they said they did expect some cars coming soon with missing USB ports, but expected them to possibly be fitted before collection - something to check in the next batch it seems - before everyone gets excited this was what they said and we all know how accurate internal information sharing can be at Tesla.
Not gone over everything in settings yet, have discovered how to set the horn to la cucaracha so have covered the important bits.
Grim weather, left the house with one spotless car and arrived back with two filthy ones. Bucket out tomorrow.
Plenty left waiting for the rest of you:

Thanks for tip, sounds like poor experience for you? I have not driven the car in the rain yet but seemed to work for the wife on the way back from Southampton - I have read the camera based system is easily confused.I wouldn't recommend using RainX on the windscreen as it plays having with the wipers and is difficult to remove!
It's good for the roof and door windows though...
I assume our car came off one of the two ships last weekend, so pacing seems about the same.Thanks for sharing; picking up on the 8th from Southampton and I can't help but wonder if mine's on a ship or already there, who knows.

Doubtful as Manchester are currently issuing MT71 and mine is MV71 collected 3 months ago, you would think it was the other way aroundThanks for sharing; picking up on the 8th from Southampton and I can't help but wonder if mine's on a ship or already there, who knows.

…and I’m collecting, Manchester on the 3rd Dec with MT71***And I'm collecting, Manchester 7/12 with MW71***
Not so surprising I suppose as, I believe the first two letters are the issuing office, the second the date of registration then the last three "random"…and I’m collecting, Manchester on the 3rd Dec with MT71***
Mines also MW71 collecting 7/12And I'm collecting, Manchester 7/12 with MW71***
