Thanks for the video. Good to see your experience was hassle free, though I didn’t see you inspect the car for any damage? I had a very poor experience in December last year at the Brent Cross location. The car was filthy, had not been washed. There were deep scratches on the front panel, front passenger side and rear side passenger door. There was bird poo on the inside door panel! The car was barely charged . And to make matters worse the onsite toilet didn’t have any running water, clearly only found this out after using it. The Tesla reps were all housed in a makeshift portakabin and just shrugged their shoulders and told me to book it for repair. So there I am having to take photos and load it all on the app and book a repair. I was totally deflated and spoilt my entire experience.

I would so miss being offered bad coffee while waiting for an hour when they "prepare" the car for me and I get to sign off the same amount of paperwork as I did when buying my house. NOT 🙃 I have ordered the CyberTruck and if Tesla told me I could pick it up in Texas (I live in Anaheim California) I would fly, UBER to the plant and drive it the 1,370 miles home. ps I have owned the Model Y LR for 2 years and love it, it will be the wife's car when the CyberTruck arrives though.

You got lucky with that 99% state of charge. I got mine with 17%, which dropped to 16% by time I set off. Car routed me to the nearest supercharger when I navigated to home. Unfortunately it was the worst Supercharger in the country (Brent Cross shopping centre car park) as there are only two chargers, both full, with several people waiting. I navigated to another charger about 10 miles away which had loads of capacity and used my 100 miles free charging immediately. Not an ideal introduction to EV ownership, having this new car and range anxiety immediately. Loving the experience since then though. I would not go back to an ICE car now.
