I’m equally excited though need to wait a little longer - delivery Saturday anytime after 08:00. Little nervous to be honest to understand if I’m getting the latest light clusters and usb chargers / wireless charging. Looking to take the M3 on its first long trip to London for Christmas. Little worried if I can live with the hard ride and road noise at high speeds

Picked up SR+ on Tuesday……. heated steering wheel and rear seats appeared today!
Agree that the chance of missing USB/wireless charging makes me a little nervous, at the end of the day it would get sorted. Mixed feeling about the lights, I guess there is an element of FOMO if we got the old taillights, but if I’d never heard about people mention it then ignorance would have been bliss.
The ride seemed fine when we did the test drive, certainly no worse than the Mazda 3 sport nav we are replacing, which had similar sized 18” wheels
Did you take a test drive?
I would agree. I find the ride absolutely fine and I have the 19” sport alloys.
As for the noise - I’ve never had an issue, and I’ve driven on A roads, B roads, Motorways etc. I can’t help but feel that the people which complain about it generally are the kind of people doing reviews so they don’t have the radio on…
Yep agree. Should not matter what lights you have though I always want the latest stuff. In terms of the ride yep I did have a test drive and was a little disappointed with the ride quality with the constant thumps on bumps - seemed more compliant up to 40 mph and around town - expansion joints on motorways kick up a fair amount of roughness. The M3 is for my wife, I drive a X5 with air suspension so should not really compare The ride quality. I do want to use the Tesla most of the time considering the cost of diesel so want it to be liveable And found wind noise excessive - most I’ve experienced in any car. You may be asking - why are you getting a M3 - quite simply on monthly lease cost. My wife didn’t care what I got her only that it should be electric and 4WD. That limits the number of cars out there - nearest on cost was an Ioniq 5 Ultimate which worked out circa £15 dearer per month. Audi and Mercedes’ were well over £500 per month. So the Tesla was the cheapest and the deal I got came with free insurance for a year, cash back and BP pulse credit of £390. So a decent deal considering the lease market has got much more expensive over recent years.
Still going guys!
Back in Ireland, final supercharge before home.
Left the house today at 6am and looking like all estimates show it’ll have taken us the full 24 hours. The boat was delayed which helped us in the end!
All told the car will have covered 450 miles in it’s first day… after this final charge we have the final 100 easy miles to go with no more average speed cameras or any of that crap lol.
I am tired I must say but it was a genuinely enjoyable trip!

I ordered mine on 2nd December (White/White RWD 18inch) Est delivery February. Black interior was being pushed back to May 2022. Got a feesling there clumping alot of 2022 deliveries together
Just wondering about paperwork. I haven’t received anything from ALD (nor has the company I work for) and need to make sure the right names/addresses are down on the insurance docs for legal owner/keeper etc.

Yeah worth checking, you won't be the legal owner, maybe not the legal keeper either (I'm not on mine), I had to arrange my own insurance.
Worth reaching out to the leasing company.
Need to give CS a call mate. Mine is down through ALD on BCH i spome to them and then after few emails back and fourth they sent me a contract form to fill in. Send that off and was all approved in the same day.
A bit of detective work this morning boys.
I live quite close to and was passing the Dublin delivery spot Agnelli house this morning so I took a detour for a nose.
The big electric gate was open enough for a car so I drove in and around looking for any Teslas or Tesla set up…
Nothing there, and the security started shouting at me over the site speaker system so I fled.
Be interesting to see what happens tomorrow for the first of the collections - take some pics @Bandito

Will do lads, my train is at 7:40am so I hope to god I don't get an email an hour from Dublin to tell me that it's been delayed!
I've just received an email from Tesla to remind me that collection is tomorrow... Oh I had almost forgot...
