What a fun day yesterday was... 9:30 collection was a good time, no one there at the time and was already a queue for the reception desk by the time I left!
Guy at the reception desk handed over the keys after I gave him my 2 for the trade in, and said "go find your car, the hazards are flashing". Then decided to honk the horn just as we walked up to it for a little scare
Car had 26% charge so topped up to 40% at the supercharger right there to get me home. He handed the car over in the app once he saw me charging, so didn't get a free charge
Headed to the outdoor car park at Bluewater to get a proper look at everything and found a few issues:
1. Panel misalignment above the rear passenger window, not horrendous but definitely bigger than the other side!
2. Some scratches on the front bumper just under the headlight along with a small chip. Scratches look like a belt that was strapped across or something...
3. Headlight dipped beam doesn't seem right at all. It's quite high and projects a blocky pattern out onto walls, high enough to light up the roofs of houses in the distance!
4. Swirls and dirt galore! Even got some of that Sahara sand on it. Really wish they just didn't bother "washing" it before handing it over. Luckily a hand wash and a little polish took most of the swirls out. It's not perfect but you'll only notice if you're looking for it now, where before it was immediately obvious.
Service appointment booked for the first 3 issues, heading to Park Royal on the 7th.
None of them are deal breaking issues though, they'll get sorted, and all that aside it's an incredible car! The instant torque and power will never get old, would love to try the performance model.
But now charging happily at Hopwood. It was on 44%. Car already on app.

soooo nice!! Thanks for sharing! That’s great they let you come along so early! Did you just turn up early or did you pre warn them? Would love to collect mine earlier so I can avoid traffic back home
