WBAC quote was £6k less. Haven't approached anyone else.
To be honest it was more of a "if the stars align" thing.. I didn't think that £8k was a terribly bad price to upgrade (although I'd lose FSD). I was actually surprised at how generous Tesla's offer was, to be honest.
I don't need the car, it has only done 1200 miles since I got it (probably partly why the valuation is a bit higher). I did ask Tesla whether I could sell them the car now, or within the 60 days, but the trade in was conditional on purchasing the new car, i.e. until its arrived and I've actually paid for it (because you can walk away at any point and only lose your deposit).
EDIT: WBAC was £10k less, it turns out

Would you go down the PPF route again? Guess that's another cost to consider.
I think this will be the first time that Performance models for any country are being produced in Shanghai so that's a potential uncertainty to consider. IIRC they only got approval to produce them last December.

To be honest it was one of those things where I actually wasn’t expecting the trade in value to be so high. The fact that it was put the idea of replacing it with a MY21 into man maths territory.
Strictly speaking, like for like (e.g. keeping FSD), it would cost closer to £18k (PPF was over £3k) and that’s not considering the amount the MY21 car would lose in depreciation immediately as well.
Man maths can be a powerful drug.

I get the impression that MIC is less of a lottery for overall quality compared to Fremont, having learned from mistakes made in California. Berlin should see further improvement.
The build quality of the recent SR+ and LR certainly appears much better, for sure.
Here it is Wiki - UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries
When you click UK/Ireland section of the forum the list of "sticky" threads comes first ...
Wow, that's some delta!Assuming the stars do align, would you go for FSD again? I decided not, I've not had it so won't miss it and I reckon it will be years before it will be properly operational (certainly in he UK) - I might consider EAP post delivery.

I think it'll be next year before we see FSD beta over here. Could be wrong, but unless the UK moves quickly to exempt itself from UNECE stuff, I can't see self driving stuff really changing dramatically soon.
Hand on heart - I'd probably want it again, but I know it's objectively not worth the money (especially now that EAP exists). I couldn't tell you why I would want it, beyond just wanting the car to do everything it is possible for it to do. I do not have a good track record with blowing money unnecessarily on stuff, though.
I'll stop messing up this thread for the MY21 M3P owners waiting on their orders..

I ordered my M3P on December 24th 2020 with a predicted delivery date of March 19th. Then I got the news we all got that our cars won’t be delivered until May 2021. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I’ve decided to wait and not buckle and take the long range option as I believe the car will be worth waiting for. Anyone got any info when the boat will sail from China for delivery in May ?
This was 'confirmed' to me through the Chat function on the Tesla website a few weeks ago. It also makes sense for Tesla to concentrate all RHD unit production at a single site and Shanghai is close to a number of other RHD markets (Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand).
I think he already pointed out his reason, it’s not quality related as we know the MIC are better made but more the sentiment of an American car made and assembled in America, nothing more than that and I agree in one way, would be nice to have a car that was made in America but if the quality is better, then I’m not bothered if it’s made in the Antarctic, I just want my car to be close to perfection as possible.
Now, made in Antarctica would be a talking point.
