I sort of meant for these Q4 deliveries from Southampton who seem to be dishing out AK71 plates (east anglia) for some reason.Doubtful as Manchester are currently issuing MT71 and mine is MV71 collected 3 months ago, you would think it was the other way around

Many thanks for sharing your thoughts. Collecting my LR on Tuesday. My local Tesla only had the performance for the test drive. Sounds like I won’t be disappointedAfter driving the car a fair distance today (city, motorway, country roads) I’ve pulled together my thoughts. Hopefully some may find them useful
- the LR has a much more solid feel to it when I compare to older Teslas I have driven (2018 model X and S), there is definitely a big jump in build quality, which was my primary concern before collection
- the acceleration is phenomenal, both from standstill and while already moving. Having test drove a 2021 M3 performance, I’m no less impressed with the LR’s pull. I thought the difference between LR and performance may be more noticeable. The optional acceleration boost is definitely, for me, no longer something to consider
- the handling is brilliant, and I expect the AWD plays a big part in this. The car feels well grounded both on motorways and A-roads
- I haven’t heard any rattling when driving, but when closing the driver’s door, it does sound like a bag of pennies is rattling around inside as it thumps closed. I expect this is an isolated fault, as none of the other doors do it. One for the service guys to look at, I guess
- 3 different fiesta ST drivers tried to drag race me at traffic lights throughout the day. Maybe I’m just unlucky, but hopefully the car isn’t a magnet for “18 year old idiot looking for a race” types
Overall, I’m extremely happy with the whole process and output. From the point of test drive, to receiving an RN number and the updates provided (except when I got “Emma” on live chat, absolutely no help whatsoever…) everything has been infinitely easier than previous experience of ordering Audi and BMW from a main dealer. I hope these companies are now waking up and noticing that Tesla has pulled the rug from beneath them all with a superior product and ordering process
Hopefully those of you ready to collect in the next few days have as positive an experience with collection/ first drive, I’m sure the big smile from the acceleration won’t become boring for a long time!
where are you in kent
Great write up, I’m picking up my LR on Monday and as you only test drove the M3P so was wondering what the performance would be like. I’m coming from a A4 Avant that I owned from new but only for 6 months. I hated it slow as shite and the car tax was going to be 550 a year (luxury car tax) before the A4 I had a Cupra that was 5.2 0-60 so struggled going to the A4 massive so going back to a nippy car will be great. Roll on Monday!!!After driving the car a fair distance today (city, motorway, country roads) I’ve pulled together my thoughts. Hopefully some may find them useful

Also does anyone know what the difference between the 2 charging cables on the super charger are? Is there a benefit to using each?
Another day and night on WiFi and still no rear heated seats etc. Is this at least consistent with other people's experiences after picking up their SR+?Patience young Padowan......
3 of my work friends had theirs appear within 12-36hours.Another day and night on WiFi and still no rear heated seats etc. Is this at least consistent with other people's experiences after picking up their SR+?
Glad you asked, I had the same question. I also had to figure out how to get the charger plug out from the charger unit to plug into the carVersion 2 superchargers have two cables one is for Model S & X the other, the one you used, (CCS) is for Model 3 & Y. Newer Version 3 superchargers only have a CCS plug (and charger faster).
Assuming you used the navigation to the supercharger (if you didn’t you should) the car will pre-heat the battery for faster charging but consumes more battery in the process.
