UK Highland Orders
- Thread starter Pagemakers
- Start date
No me neither, going to go for a RWD seems great value, there Are 2 new colours showing, Stealth Grey and Ultra red, are there any others we’re missing in UK?
Stealth Grey and Ultra Red are the only new colours for the new Model 3. Perhaps UrbanSplash was thinking of the Model Y (LHD) colours, which are available exclusively from Berlin - Midnight Cherry Red and Quicksilver?
I think midnight cherry is a Berlin specific colour, or am I confused with the new MY colours they had ?
Doesn't much matter for Radio 4 either.
9 speakers in the RWD is up from 7(?) in the outgoing RWD. Perhaps the two door tweeters are connected in the Highland RWD. Will know for certain once the RWD highland gets a few deliveries. That should be noticible when listening to music.
The old RWD has four speakers from the AWD system that are not connected. Most likley it is less expensvie to install the speakers in both RWD and AWD instead of making a speaker delete version.
I’ve been trying to practice using the non-stalk indicators with the left/right arrows surrounding the left steering button. I’m not sure how intuitive it is when the wheel orientation is upside down and having to press the left button when you want to indicate and turn right.
£3k less than outgoing RWD should go some way in making up for it plus has ventilated seats, outgoing RWD model didn’t have fog lights or USS either, will be interesting to see if new system any better but don’t hold out much hope, USS would be better
I got confused too, don't worry. Thought Shanghai had received the "upgraded paint shop". Forgot that Midnight Cherry Red and Quicksilver are the "special" paints and Ultra Red and Steatlh Grey are effectively tweaks of the existing colours.
For info - if anyone is a Tusker lease customer then having just spoken to them, you’re unable to order the new model until they’ve received the Tesla info for it and updated their website.
No time on this and apparently any Tesla orders will not be transferred to the Tusker order system (as happened before)….

I get that's a plus of sorts, but our climate is hardly one which will benefit greatly from ventilated seats. Stalks and parking sensors on the other hand...
I can vaguely conceive of the odd day here and there where I might appreciate vented cooled seats. I tend to wear shorts when it's hot enough to benefit from them, though.
I think I'd want to know how far I actually am from an obstacle in front more though, rather than the car just guessing. I'm weird like that.

This seems to be the same for Octopus EV too now, the M3 RWD LR was listed on the website earlier today but has now disappeared along with the other versions.
I had my original order for a M3LR with them cancelled a couple of weeks ago as Tesla had stopped orders they said and had decided to go for an "in stock" RWD LR instead after a test drive at a SC and some soul searching around the loss of indicators for the benefit of the new look. When I test drove it the Tesla guy at the SC showed me their view and the idea of cars waiting for orders that they physically had and I think then they still had a fair few RWD LR but had no info about the Highland
I’m really in 2 minds with what to do. 7 years ago I got my first Tesla - an S. Now I have a 3P and my PCP contract ends in March. With the absence of a Highland 3P I’d be looking at the long range version. However, a massive part of me has fallen out of love with my car. I drive it a lot and do miles of motorway driving with Autopilot and here lies the reason for the loss of love. For me Autopilot is a sack of sh1t at the moment (I have a thread about that elsewhere) - I hope that in the coming weeks or months Autopilot will return to something that is actually fit for purpose.
My concerns with the Highland is the lack of indicator stalks but more importantly its reliance on vision-only which my experience of that so far is nothing short of shocking and I really wonder how good it can be - if its anything like the vision-only wipers I have a very low estimation.
Although, I am aware of other EV’s on the market I haven't yet researched those options. I guess I’ll have to wait for a few more months before pressing somebody’s order button.

I'm very surprised how many already have ...
When I did marketing 101 it was "Halve the price, sell to 20x as many people". I don't know what drop is needed for just 2x the number of punters, around 10% - 20% perhaps? Tesla has enough margin to do that, and that would give them plenty of head-room and be painful for the competition who are struggling to keep their factories busy, let alone price them to make money. I wouldn't have believed any of what is happened if I hadn't witnessed it.
There is a thread on that topic ... nothing that has come up yet seems to be a clear winner. Things like the Lotus look good but the software, and some other bits, are a bit of an unknown. And so on with the others ...
Tesla Alternative?
Hello Everyone, I have a salary sacrifice model 3 long range and pretty happy with it, the build quality is suspect but performance and comfort are good (in my opinion) I’m just wondering what else is around? I quite like the look of the BMW I4 but performance and specification aren’t as good...

Yes not a big plus and centre heated seat has been removed as a downside, the £3k saving over outgoing RWD on the other hand is the biggest plus
