Forgot to mention that you’ll also want to buy a USB flash drive to enable Sentry mode and the Tesla Cams.

Must be formatted properly (FAT32) and it’s helpful to also have a USB splitter for flexibility. In my case the wireless charging pad I bought includes splitters, so it all works well together.
Do you know which USB splitter was included? I need to get one as I added the wireless charger and the SSD so currently only have one side charging :-/

I kept having issues with error messages when using USB's, moved to one of these and has been very reliable since...
I run this and haven't had any issues:

Convenient tip:

I bought a SanDisk Ultra DualDrive.



You can slot this in any USB C smartphone and just watch the videos, very convenient.
This app works well for me:

£2.5k with tyres? eek

Maybe refurbing not such a bad idea after all. smile
hmmnn. looking at the configurator now and the wheels are dark.. wonder when that changed?
As my car is yet to be delivered, maybe I am in luck.

Your car will be delivered with what was ordered. When I ordered mine, there was a performance and performance upgrade. Prior to it being delivered they changed the model (AGAIN) to only offer the performance upgrade. So you can't now get the stty 18s on the perfomance model. I thought there was a slim chance I was getting the 20s. Well...stty 18s for me.

Also, black the only free colour, now pearlescent white.

I really did get an ugly spec on an already ugly car.

Have had quotes to wrap it much like this video. Only issue is, it's a 2 year lease so really not getting value out of it so unlikely to pull the trigger.

Btw, re: painting the alloys, as someone who's leased 6-7 cars, I'd be quite comfortable getting them painted to match the cars now coming out the factory with dark ones and just say it came like that. Like the guy from the BCA would ever know. If I had the 20s I'd 100% do that.

Cool... I do wonder if my car has even been 'ordered' yet. I signed the lease agreement with the company 3rd October, but have no acknowledgement or email from Tesla at all, no account nothing.
So still live in hope for the dark wheels smile

Tesla will communicate with the buyer i.e. the lease company

I've just ordered some coilovers and adjustable rear suspension arms for my P.

I'll report back on my findings once they're installed.
