Delivery Spreadsheet - Let's Track These Inbound SEs

Found this on another forum:

I don't think this has anything to do with SIM or app. I've received a letter about this and according to my dealer it's about an update of the SOS function. Apparently, at an accident, our EVs don't tell the SOS-operator that it is in fact an EV. That is an important information for rescue teams since they have special ruless due to the batteries and high voltage.

 

Thank you! Awww let me think about it… love not to have front plate but at the same time I am too chicken

In California you can get a Front License Plate Wrap for 85 bucks.

here's a video of someone putting it on their Tesla.
It's legit. You do have to tell the company after you put it on so they put the license plate on their registry if DMV ever checks.

 

I wonder if I'll get a puzzle?

 

There was a recall for that in Europe or the UK, but not in the US that I've heard of.

 

But as @Ketos found, the license-plate wrap is taller than the vertical part of the SE's front bumper. He had to trim and tuck to make it fit.

@Tommm had a great solution for his Cayman. He took a picture of his 6" x 12" plate and had a 5" x 10" bumper sticker made. IMO, the ideal (other than living in a single-plate state) would be a 5" x 10" license-plate wrap because it would be easier to remove when necessary.

 

Been on the east coast for a while - flying back to Cali tomorrow and going straight to my dealer to finally pick up the iconic I ordered in early Feb. My rep was kind enough to send a few photos of her waiting for me in the parking lot. Starting to feel real now - can't wait!

I was told the same thing from my dealer. Waiting for a fix from BMW direct. My car has been stateside since June 17th.

 

Here ya go. Ten bucks.

 

GOB Bluth’s 911?

 

Still haven't been able to pick up due to this SOS issue. MA is saying they're having trouble connecting to the BMW server to update it? Dunno

In transit to the dealer - Woo Hoo!!!!

 

Hawaiian Highway docked in Brunswick this morning with my wife's SE iconic on board. The dealer called me (finally) and said the car will be at the dealer on Saturday and will be ready for collection on Wednesday.

 

Swung by the dealership today and their Rex screen still shows Status 193, so I have to wonder if it’s still sitting at Southampton for five weeks now, and somehow missed the only two vessels bound for Halifax in June, or if it’s actually at the VPC and we missed it being 195.

 

Has anyone noticed discrepancies between the information found on the Southampton Movement schedule and the Wallenius Wilhelmsen website? For example, Southampton has the Tannhauser departing for New York on 30 June, but the WW Website shows Tannhauser is scheduled to go directly to Baltimore.

 

That sucks. My dealer doesn’t reference the status codes at all so I don’t know where she gets the info about my MINI. I tried asking for more info when it initially went into production and was told she didn’t have more and she would notify me once it shipped. I’m not sure if I’ll get an update from her once it’s off the ship and waiting for/loaded on the train. The Elektra docked in Halifax early this morning and is the ship I assume mine was aboard.

 

Woo hoo … my mini is in transit form Port hueneme (heritage leader) to Portland OR. Hopefully it doesn’t have SOS delay. Anyways I am hoping to pick it up on 7/9

 

I wonder how widespread is this SOS problem. You would think they would have caught these problems somewhere along production.

 

Not sure, I'll be watching this website closely for my car. (thanks for sharing that site)
