    Yep ordered mine recently and was told I would get it this month if there was a car that matched my spec onboard that hadn’t been allocated. Sure enough I got a reply and collect next week. Boat due into Southampton on the 3rd.

    Just some more info for you here, I ordered long after the Glovis Century ship had left China and I picked mine up today. I guess that’s the benefit of having less options.

    If you're seriously thinking about it, wait until the last week of the month and see what's available on inventory.

    You might get a sweetener thrown in, such as a year free supercharging or 3 month trial of FSD if they have excess cars at the end of the quarter.

    You should get a text this Wednesday with your reg but if you can't wait, Tesla web chat will usually oblige if you have your RN to hand.

    Just reply to the text with your delivery details asking for reg. I did that one evening and they replied with it the next morning with it.

    Are people who are waiting for their 3s not worried about the phantom braking issues?

    I’m waiting for collection on Saturday. I don’t really like the sound of phantom breaking, but my understanding is that it is not unique to Teslas and only happens with autopilot engaged.

    It happens with cruise control on unfortunately. I was hoping to use this feature.

    It definitely is something that should be ironed out. In my eyes, it is more annoying rather than dangerous as the driver still needs to pay attention. The car would only decide to brake if it thinks there may be an issue ... the software might not be perfect but I'm sure it will get better. It is nothing a controlled touch on the power pedal can't override. Me personally, my biggest requirement for the system is to keep the distance to the car in front to eliminate the risk of running into someone and to keep the speed so I don't get tickets.

    I actually had the very same thing in my 2014 Skoda Octavia (that was actually a great car for "it's time") ... had lane assist, full parking assist, and distance controlled cruise control. That car also phantom braked regularly, it could be that it detected a pedestrian, a vehicle that it thought was too far over in my lane, etc. It was particularly bad when there was a bend and it thought the car that was going round the bend in the other lane was actually right in front, threw the anchor right out it did :)

    Never had any phantom braking incidents in 2 year on my Porsche, so it must be possible to fix. It is the only thing that concerns me about collecting on Thursday as I used the cruise all the time on the Porsche..... saved me from being caught being heavy footed on the accelerator, it's all to easy to go over the limit with a powerful car.

    In our 2020 M3 it would only really happen if it was a bright sunny day and I drove under a small foot bridge, I guess it just didn’t like the dark shadow on the road, lol! But generally no problems with autopilot, most of the time we just used the enhanced cruise control instead (prefer to steer the car ourselves) we do 20,000+ miles a year and really helps to take some of the tiredness out of long distance driving!

    glad to hear everyone collecting their cars are happy with the build quality, picking up our 2021 M3 LR MSM tomorrow... CANT WAIT!

    I drive 2020 Mercedes trucks at work and they phantom break ALL the time. Bit more disconcerting when your dragging 44 Tonne down the road so honestly if my model 3 anchors on from time to time, it won't phase me.

    Oh and as for your doors EvWannabe id say they need adjusting.

    Some "while you wait" video for those of us counting sleeps:

    I really hope not to get the "50 shades of wood" trim on the door cards though `:D

    I’ll stick my neck out and say I like it. Breaks up the door a bit and gives the dash more of a wrapped around you look. Maybe just me though

    Absolutely loving it too. I was referring to the shade of the wood trim. At 2:10 minute in the video, left door card was lighter than the dash, right door card was darker and discoloured. Can't put it all down on lighting (but I hope it's just that)
