For any Aussies waiting for an update on the FL.... The vessel carrying the first shipment will dock in Singapore around the 20th of May. It has not filled any further route yet, but it would only stand to reason it will then head to Perth, as it appears to be a regular shipping route.
If, and this is only an educated guess, I would suggest Melbourne around the middle of June!
It's funny, in the past three days, since I was told the ship was on its way, I have sighted the two other local N's driving around town.... they are taunting me.

Yes, your build one can assume is from the second shipment. Not too long of a wait.Dealer recently gave me an update earlier in the week that my car has now got a VIN, is now in production and due for delivery 4/Aug. Suppose it seems a little more plausible now.
I'm in Sydney.
Can anyone confirm if the premium spec has wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto?
I know it has wireless charging, but do we still need a cable to connect our phone in 2021?
Yes u need a cable in all specs. That makes the wireless charging kind of useless. Well at least the co driver might benefit
Does anyone have any photos of the cloth seats in the 2021 facelifts? Every photo is of the leather and suede premium seats or the n light seats, but none yet of the cloth. Whilst the cheapest, they certainly seem like the best for longevity.
Also, can anyone comment on how the previous gens leather vs cloth seats compared in terms of bolstering, or is the only difference the materials used?
I read some where the other day, that the car is fitted with the hardware to allow wireless, but there is currently a licencing issue between Hyundai and ??, that is preventing the wireless being activated. Unfortunately, I can't recall where I saw it. I will post back, if I find it.Android Auto definately doesnt work without a cable. I tried and didnt get it to work. I dont have an iPhone to test car play
Can you even get cloth seats in facelift model? Previous had it in 250Hp models as standard but 275Hp models all came with leather seats. Now i don´t see any facelift 250Hp models and it´s between leather seats or bucket seats.Does anyone have any photos of the cloth seats in the 2021 facelifts?

Here seats on the left side are from previous model 250Hp version and on the right from 275Hp version.View attachment 16991
Thats the only picture i have so far. Its identical seats just cloth instead of leather/alcantara
First I've seen in the UK
Leeds told me that you can order with a deposit and if you don't want to go ahead after you have the test drive (in May)they will refund the deposit. Whilst i'm keen to upgrade, at the moment the finance figures are way too high for me so will be waiting to see if there are any decent discounts to be had in future as I don't feel at present its value for money compared with the 2018 model.Quite a few UK dealers pricing the FL now on Autotrader. Just a shame they don't have any to test drive, as I wouldn't order without that first.

I think I've discovered a small cosmetic fault in the first batch of cars (picky, I know, but we're enthusiasts): the N Light logo for the driver's seat appears to be faded or improperly printed. The black and red stripes either side of the "N" look washed out.
I've seen this across three different cars listed in Poland and Switzerland now (blue, white and black cars), from different angles and in different lighting conditions. I've attached examples of both the driver and passenger seats for comparison.
Hoping it doesn't carry over to the first Australian builds!
