UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

sorry @yessuz another one I totally forgot to ask. Did you get mud flaps chucked in?

Someone took a photo of all the bundled stuff and wanted to check in to find out..... as you can see the ol' flapperoonies on the left in the photo. Otherwise will order separately, since I'm on the accessory game atm.

Just researched it, and the UK spec has single reverse, and single fog light. US / Fremont made cars have two due to some regulation on symmetry.. News on me, so one reverse light is standard issue for UK. You might get the odd US made one floating about with two but it absolutely definitely means you're not missing out on some technological advancement if it has just one.

Phew. Googling over, now I can go back to ordering loads of accessories on AliExpress

I must admit, I'm a bit OCD when it comes to symmetry and the thought of only having one reverse light and one fog lamp doesn't sit well with me. I know that both lights are lights that I'm not going to see when I'm driving, so I shouldn't care, but it just gives me a weird feeling - like I REALLY want to fix it and will struggle to shake that feeling.

the regulation in US is - they do not need fog lights there.

Therefore all american cars (american made or made specifically for US market), if not fitted from the factory, when imported and registered in Europe, have an bold-on rear fog lights

more or less:

American cars (for american market), by default, have red turn indicators as well, unless manufacturer installs orange

source: one of my cars in the past was imported from USA.

Hmm, on the other hand, perhaps having odd lights at the back isn't so bad after all.

it's not just Tesla - our Kia E-nero is the same, one of the original reversing lights is re-purposed as a fog light leaving only one (very crap) reversing light

Not yet - it’s on my todo list to try some custom light shows.

How are we going to do custom light shows if the front USB ports are charging only?

My understanding is the USB cannot contain any other folders such as Teslacam.

Guess we’d have to unplug the USB in the glove box and plug in another…

Hi Fermanagh would be M3 owner here promised March. Interested in your cherished plate transfer. I kept the plate of my last EV before I sold it (had it since 1986); From what I see I will get the car on an NI plate and then at some stage in the future assign my plate from retention onto it. Tesla not interested in getting involved in the cherished registration I am told. Have you been told different? Thanks

Tesla won't assign personalised plates. Its a straightforward No as I tried few times on phone and in writing. They allocated few times in the past but not anymore. You will have to wait for V5C document to come through in post (may be a week) and then assign it online and rest is easy. You can drive car on old number plate for two weeks to sort out getting a new plate done.

You can partition the drive. See Model Year 2022 Refresh M3/MY

Just saw that Tesla has updated their website to show that new orders are now estimated to arrive in May… really hoping I get mine before then!

And the Pearl white has gone out to August! (with Aero wheels)

That’s why I love this forum, thank you.

I’ve seen the instructions, not quite sure how to do it in practice on my Mac, but sure I’ll work it out.

Thank you again.

QUESTION: For those who have already got their Tesla, and did a part exchange of their old car?

What was the process like and how long did that additional PX take on pick up day for your Tesla? (does it add another 1-2 hours at pick up process?) Trying to plan that day

Those of you with a Bristol pick up. Tesla just text me, pick up tomorrow , and gave me a google maps link to the pick up point. This appears to be behind Banyard road.

Looks like a large and empty car lot at the moment. I'm sure if you flew a drone over it now, it might have a few M3s hanging around

 

[Rirawin]

With the free mudflaps, are you able to book a SC appointment and have them install them? I've read they're a little tricky to do yourself...

 

[GeorgeSymonds]

Just found this over on the German site (thanks again @eivissa).

Fingers crossed that what I was told yesterday about my M3P being the 'new variant' was true

Competing information from the go to site I use suggests LVB2 is Low Voltage Battery 2

Tesla option codes

Tesla option codes and what they mean

tesla-info.com

The letters usually mean something, for instance HPxx is Heat Pump, Txxx tires, RDxx rear Drive, FDxx front drive etc.

I've just got an email from Tesla saying that my delivery will be at 7am tomorrow.
Just wondering if that's an actual time or is that what they say for all deliveries that day and it could be any time in the day?
