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

It shouldn’t be a software update now though surely? It’s part of the standard spec of the car.

It’s a fair point @bc1979. When i actually ordered my M3 it was a Standard Range Plus. It was changed due to the fact they stopped making them, so i was making sure they understood i had LFP / dual glaze and Ryzen i.e. NOT a SR+. I also had to sign a declaration to ‘accept‘ the changes to the ‘new’ spec. So, i was quite clear, it needs to be done. As they’ve said it WILL be done, I’ve elected to be patient at the moment - TBH, if someone was giving me the beans, I’d drop it on floor and make them wait. Now its been acknowledged i can go FULL ON if needed

It never was part of a software update, but Tesla seems to push a configuration change to the RWD/SR+ vehicles after they are delivered rather than at the factory for some reason - must be something to do with it not being standard from day one but i cannot see why they cannot alter the initial configuration load.

samesies. I hope they deliver it early doors.

Tomorrow is delivery day for me.

As being dropped off at my house I have no idea what time!

Couldn't take a whole day of waiting.

Lloyd Latchford business insurance told me yesterday that there's no premium increase if I want to do the acceleration boost on my M3 LR. Wonder if I can buy that upgrade via salary sacrifice too

Same for me but on Friday.

I have taken the day off so I just know it won’t come until the end of the day.

What you have placed on your vehicle is a show plate. Up until Sep 2021, when new laws were passed, police would ignore the fact that the shape and markings to conform to British Standards for Number Plates but after Sep 2021 they have taken this very seriously, I was stopped recently and fined for not having a compliant plate like yours and fined not once but twice, one for front an one for rear. 100 pounds per plate!

It may be that you were fined incorrectly depending upon what aspect of the rules your plate was deemed to have not been compliant with. Folks using italic and non-compliant lettering or incorrect spacing is very common. The thrust of the rules is around readability - using specific size black lettering on a large enough reflective background. The background being larger than required or shaped once it is large enough does not seem to be an issue.

It was a standard plate no optional extras, only the named of the plate maker was not written underneath which is required. Point is that standard plates even which are not in your face are fined let alone a plate which is of none standard shape and is seriously in your face. My belief is to always be low profile

Which part of the law do these plates break?

Displaying number plates

How to display number or licence plates, get plates made up, replace lost, damaged or stolen plates, and the national letters, flags and symbols you can display.

www.gov.uk

Exactly, so long as all requirements are met I don't see the issue. For another car I bought plates from Halfords and hacksawed them down to size myself to fit the car, it's never been pulled or failed an MOT as it still meets all the required dimensions.
