I was originally due to collect my X from Edinburgh in March, but it got locked down in Southampton and my Belfast- Edinburgh flight cancelled. The car eventually made it up to Newcastle and Tesla drove it across to Cairnryan (many thanks Dan Burton!). I got the early ferry across as a...

Many thanks to the 2 Dans from Tesla Edinburgh and Newcastle who drove my new MX across from Newcastle to Cairnryan for me to collect and take across on the ferry to Belfast and home today (Original delivery date 28/3/20 in Edinburgh stymied by the lockdown; no flights operating between Belfast...

Any midnight silver metallic X’s??

Very helpful call from Dan in Edinburgh today - as a key worker (hospital doc) they will try to arrange home delivery (NI an added layer of complication). No timescale promises though with the escalating coronavirus situation I'm less focused on the car than I was a month or so ago. Major thanks...

Clearly lots of us are in difficult and frustrating positions. I was due to collect my MX from Edinburgh this Saturday. Further complicated by my need to first fly from NI to Edinburgh, then drive home via a ferry. I think some of our population are still underestimating how serious and...

Laughingboy I’m in a very similar position to you and hoping to take delivery of a model X next Saturday in Edinburgh. I’ve decided to go for it too. As an additional layer of stress Easyjet has just announced it is grounding “most” of its flights from Tuesday. Flybe has gone bust. I’m currently...

Just got text and email for Edinburgh delivery of my MX on March 28th. Perfect as that's next Saturday and I'm not working (and in this tax year). Hopefully Easyjet and the ferry companies are still in operation then to allow me to fly over from Belfast and drive/sail home. Tempted to self...

I hope all goes well - please post how you get on - I’ll be doing the same run about a week later (hopefully)...

Yes I had previously been given the name of the ship by someone else at Tesla. This morning I said that I had previously been given this and was told “that is indeed correct”. Use the delivery option on the phone (4). I tried option 3 sales before which went to the local sc and they said they...

I believe my MX arrived in Rotterdam on the Maersk Ohio on 4/3/20, currently at (or on the way to) Tilburg for reassembly. I've just spoken to someone at Tesla (option 4, sounded Dutch) who says the routing to UK is Tilburg - Rotterdam - Southampton. Hopefully on track for delivery (Edinburgh)...

AFAIK my MX (ordered 27/12/19) is on the Maersk Ohio, due to arrive at Rotterdam this evening. When I spoke to Tesla last week they said it would hopefully be delivered before the end of March. Mr M do you have any insider info on the route and ships from Tilburg to UK for model X and S?

From previous posts I get the impression that going through a leasing company slows things down a bit and adds another layer of hassle! Fingers crossed for delivery this month..

Late December 2019

My hidden VIN has been there for a number of weeks. Tesla told me a few weeks ago that my X was coming on the Maersk Ohio, though I’ve spoken to a couple of different people since who say they aren’t allowed to name the ship. No text or invoice yet. Hoping for collection mid-late March..

S/X buyers: Covid-19 reported in Tilburg this morning..
