Use delivery time to establish facts and reliable ownership basics. The exact derivative, market specification, fitted equipment, condition, keys, app access and charging behaviour matter more than a rapid feature demonstration.
Before you start
Bring the dated order, phone, account details and planned route home. Inspect in suitable light and ask the retailer not to move or prepare the car further until visible condition concerns are photographed. Keep passwords and one-time codes private while completing account prompts yourself.
Do this in order
- Match VIN, registration, derivative, drivetrain, battery description, wheel size, colour and stated model year against the order.
- Photograph every exterior panel, wheel, tyre, glass area, seat and frequently touched trim along with mileage and battery state.
- Check the supplied physical keys, NFC cards, cables, adapters and every paid accessory against the written list.
- Complete app ownership binding, test normal unlock and lock, and verify a physical backup before activating phone-key convenience.
- Pair the main phone for calls and audio, then test projection separately so a working Bluetooth profile is not confused with a failed projection service.
- Record the installed XOS version and any pending release notes. Schedule a later update rather than making the vehicle unavailable during collection.
- Confirm the location of charging controls, normal cable release and the handbook emergency route. Test AC charging when the retailer can do so safely.
- Check warnings, cameras, lights, wipers, climate, tyre pressures and the controls needed for a calm first journey.
- Write every defect, missing item, activation delay and promised remedy onto the handover document before signing.
If that did not solve it
- Confirm warranty, roadside, servicing and authorised repair contacts in writing.
- Ask whether any displayed function depends on market, trim, subscription or later activation.
- Set up additional drivers through authorisation rather than sharing the owner login.
- Keep copies of the advert or specification relied on when ordering.
What success looks like
The delivered P7+ matches its contract, essential access and charging work, condition is recorded and every unfinished item has a named written remedy and timescale.
Prepare a useful support handover
Do not keep repeating resets or changing unrelated settings. Record the following while the symptom is fresh:
- Save order, invoice, handover and warranty documents.
- Record VIN, mileage, battery percentage and XOS version.
- Photograph defects and list missing equipment before departure.
Keep passwords, verification codes, precise location history and unrelated personal information out of screenshots or messages.
Exact-car and safety boundary
UK specification must be confirmed from the final UK order and supplied vehicle. Overseas manuals, previews and videos can describe different equipment or software.
Manual evidence: P7+ 2026 English owner manual; PDF pages 57–83, 357 and 384–385. The owner manual is the controlling source for the exact vehicle and installed software.
Other ways owners describe this
P7 Plus collection checklist, new P7+ handover, delivery inspection, first hour setup, P7+ app binding, what should dealer show me.
