Will you have time to clean the car afterwards.......
Picked up from Thorpe Park 11am. Model 3’s as far as the eye can see.
Pertinent points:
Pertinent points:
- Painless exercise as others have pointed out.
- Missing wireless charging and front USB ports :/. Scheduled to have them fitted 18th (earliest I could choose was Tuesday but it’s having ceramic coat fitted next week). That’s assuming they have them in stock to fit!
- 4 miles on odometer.
- Everything on checklist fine other than a tiny scratch/rough bumper trim inside the front bumper - I’m sure my detailer can get that out.
- 2021.40.6
- 40% charge

PPF on bumber and rockers done. Hypervolt doing a sterling job also
collected on Monday around 1pm, they registered with DVLA around 4pm according to the printout of it they attached to my Tesla account, V5C received this morning (Thursday) so pretty quick!
Already had my personalised plates made up, so made the change on DVLA and just waiting for their punched-card database to update so I can update insurance...pretty painless so far
that collection tent is way more packed than when I went on Monday (originally Thursday but they let me collect earlier) - sad about the USB ports though, luckily got mine...well the wireless charger works, maybe I should check the usb ports at some point!!
Congrats, Thanks for the lovely pictures. Just to clarify you meant the USB C-type ports are missing in the front storage compartment, is it?
What model year VINs have people been getting? 2021 or 2022?
Mine is 2021 (M in the 10th digit), and I was wondering if this was expected or not, as I believe they change over around now.
Practically it may not make any difference, but I am curious to see what others have been getting.

Yes, those are missing in the forward centre console compartment and wireless charging not working either.
Also, just received a text update saying I’ll get a notification in-app once they have them in stock so they had to cancel my appointment :/.

No issues, had USB and wireless charging, looks like latest software, no rear seat heating yet but will come via software upgrade.
I collected my SR+ Blue / Black today from Bluewater.
Really easy process and staff were really friendly. Bluewater pickup is in a multi-story car park, so very dark. I didn't even bother inspecting the care in too much detail, and drove straight to the Supercharger and got some juice in it for the ride home (not essential, but I wanted to option to go for a spin when I got home too). I could only get about 35 KWh out of the charger, but all the stalls were full, so I am not sure how many were sharing power.
It was filthy, so I gave it a bit of a clean when I got it home and gave it a check over. From what I can see, it is pretty near perfect (Front USB ports are fitted and work fine).
I bought this in the middle of the fuel "crisis" having driven a friends SR+ for about 3 mins 5 months ago. Having set my alarm for 04:00 on a Sunday to get enough fuel to get to work, when I got home, I logged on as soon as I got home and bought it. So, I haven't really had a test drive to see what it is really like to drive.
Even though it is "only" the SR+, I am really impressed with the performance. The basic Autopilot functions are amazing (although easy to get into a bit of mode confusion if you aren't careful).
The only slight imperfection I can see, is very very subtle, but the bonnet on the drivers side, has a very small dent (so small, I hesitate calling it a dent), right on the edge where it meets the wing panel, about 15 cm forwards of the windscreen. I can't even see it on a photo, but I keep seeing it from the driver's seat when I am driving. Not sure whether to report it or not.
SW Version 2021.40.6 installed, heated seats and steering wheel not yet showing.
I just have to sell the Seat Leon now!

The more I see of the blue, the happier I am that I went for it. Roll on a week on Tuesday!
