Just back from picking up my MX 100D at Heathrow. Amazing car, better than anticipated.
- Order placed 24 Apr
- Confirmed 7 May
- End of line (built) 31 May
- Delivered 1 Aug
Few interesting facts, perhaps of value for others:
1) Had the long checklist from TMC (thanks!), and went through it. Quality was really quite good. Just 1 small issue with a gasket on the lower sill on the FWD (photo below), otherwise perfect touch wood. DS said they stopped MX production for a month earlier in the year because they were getting too many defects, and that recent cars have been much better.
2) Discounts now being offered for those that placed orders after a certain date but before the new prices came in (combining PUP, audio, towing) as some others have reported. Good on Tesla for this one. So if you ordered your car with these options priced separately, you will get a refund back at delivery. However....this applies only to those whose car was build (EOL date) after a certain cut off (I saw on a bit of paper that flashed in front of me, I think it was 9 June?) and before the price change was announced. Bummed I missed it by a week or so.
3) DS told me car no longer comes with a Type 2 connector. Just the standard UMC. But I asked very nicely and they gave me one (perhaps due to 2 above)
4) Sunshade comes with car (I've seen here some people I think had asked whether it does or not).
5) No swag bag. But again asking nicely I got a mug and a pen. Whoo hoo!
Taking it tomorrow to get Opticoat+ treatment, again thanks to this forum for the advice.
