Funny enough, I did end up emailing the proof of payment email address with a screenshot of what it says in my account, and got a reply back within 10 minutes from my sales manager guy apologising for the text, it was his fault and everything is good for the 2nd.
Also that he will call me on thursday to run through any final questions.
In some ways they have fallen short during this whole process, but then in other ways they have really excelled! Its weird.
thanks BillBrown! Fingers crossed Tesla have already installed them... if not, it will be a service centre booking, there’s no way I’ll be able to fit the protection wrap... I used to work at Apple and customers would ask me to install their screen protectors... makes me stressed just thinking about it! LOL!

Thanks for sharing that. I think we all expected some over the air software improvements to charging sapped, but I’m sure those ordering SR+ with LFP batteries will be relieved to hear that news.
it’s great you can keep the LFP cars charged 100% all the time.
Hey guys, randomly our white 2020 M3 had a thin plastic layer on the lower side skirtings (please see image attached from the Tesla shop) I think it’s part of the mud flap and splash guard kit... there were reports from owners last year about the paint wearing on the side skirts (in much harsher climates) so Tesla offered the protection pack for free, it was a nice surprise on collection day.
But as you say, the 2021 M3 might be different, but as we do so many miles I was hoping Tesla was still shipping M3’s with the kit, lol! Oh well, we will know next week!

Not sure if it was mentioned in the video but looks like this was upgraded in 2021.4.10:
Tesla Model 3 with LFP Batteries Get a Big Boost in Charging Speed via OTA Update
Not so many reported installs of that yet, so if you're collecting your MIC SR+ soon, you may need to wait a few days for the update to land:

That’s a good question, I would assume they offer it on all trim levels, I would double check with the team on collection day, if not I would buy them, they worked pretty well on the 2020 M3, the sides will always get dirty but atleast the mud flaps help to deflect small stones, etc
thanks for sharing the video
lots to look forward to and fingers crossed we all get the features we keep hearing about... especially the mystic heated steering wheel...I must admit, part of me really likes that Tesla are quick to release hardware updates and tweaks, keeps the refinement moving forward, etc but on the other hand I would also like to know the actual specification when we order! Lol!
Either way, the M3 is an epic car to drive!
I managed to sort my insurance out with Directline. I am currently with Directline so I phoned to swap my policy to the new car on the 1st March and I explained the situation (current car being traded in so would need insurance to swap on the day) and they tried the number plate which obviously did not work so they just asked for the make, model, year and value of the car. The insurance documents have now all come through with the new number plate etc so I don’t need to ring them up again and tell them the plate.
I didn’t know how it would work with a trade in but they have assured me that as soon as I drive the new car the old one is no longer insured and the new one automatically becomes insured.
Directline made this process very quick and simple so I would recommend them plus they are the recommended insurer by Tesla - In your situation I’d recommend phoning them so they can enter the vehicle details manually.

Just got my finance documents through email this morning to sign - all done and done.
Counting the days now until the 2nd!

apologies if you’ve already mentioned above, but you financing directly through Tesla? I’m collecting on 6th and yet to receive any documents to sign off
Is anyone getting a delivery, not a collection? Mine is on the 6th March.
Not entirely sure what do to if there are issues, as it's not at a SC collection. I guess I just log them in the app as a service issue? The delivery firm certainly aren't going to be bothered, unless they damaged it!

Yeah getting delivered on Tuesday. In my case I'm asking for clarification from the leasing company because the finance documents say if the vehicle is unsatisfactory in any way I should reject it. That seems a bit extreme to me if its something that I can report and be fixed! Like you said I doubt the delivery guys will want to stick around while I inspect and I'll be forced to sign the document from tesla digitally before they go.
It's a lot of pressure really expecting me, not a car expert, to inspect and either accept or reject a car for a finance company.

Yes, direct through Tesla mate.
I'm assuming they will send them to you a week before collection, so maybe Friday or next Monday.
