I just took delivery at home. The chap was really nice and he called me just after 8am saying he will be about an hour. He said he had 4 to do today so not sure if he calls all of them in the morning with an ETA or just calls when he goes back to collect the next car. I think the drivers are...

Thank you for your detailed response Iain, and thank you for the "in control of your vehicle" catch-all law. That is a good idea to buy out there and I have a friend living out there so can always arrange that when I get there. I am intending to get some winter tyres although not looked into...

-- BORROW / BUY-- Does anyone have snow chains I can borrow/buy for Model Y 19in Gemini? Heading out to Switzerland and require a set to be in the car, although I doubt we will need to use as we will have access to local Defender if things start getting snowy! I'm Cotswolds based and happy to...

I'm hoping to be join the group. Car got ordered (through Octopus) in late May. Tesla and Octopus confirmed VIN over the last week. Just waiting for the text messages. Anyone heard of texts getting sent yet?

I've got a MY on order through a lease company (Octopus), therefore information about my order is not as forthcoming. I phoned Tesla directly and they have said that I have been matched to a car. Should I be expecting a text from Tesla about the delivery or should this come from Tesla directly?

Hi have a MY on order from May 24th through Octopus Salary Sacrifice. Their EDD is changing frequently so I call Tesla instead, usually weekly. For the last week they have consistently me late Nov to late Dec. I believe with the order date I must be near the top of the list so assuming the next...

I got told from Octopus (Salary Sacrifice Scheme) to expect messages from Tesla requesting ID check. If you are leasing and taking a home delivery then I think this is reasonable logic. By all means double check!

Ouch! Sorry to hear of your ordeal @Mr Miserable

I knew I had seen it somewhere! Charge Fairy

:(:( Sorry - No idea on PHEVs but I assume you have look all sorts of solutions (some of which I have no idea if they exist in certain areas or might not be possible)? Mobile Charging Services - Or charging fairies or something like that. Workplace Charging Talk to Council (I'm sure I have...

Thought it was brave to bring the next one out on the pad so close to the landing of SN9 :eek:

I am thinking of going along the line of something like this (we are family of 4): https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mottez-Bike-Tow-Ball-Trailer/dp/B001XURAJU

To a degree, yes, but I'm not actively doing it - I am quite passive about it but would just rather buy in a 'down' day when I just happen to be watching (I sometimes go a few weeks/months without looking). For the last 5 years I've used my own set of rules to short list companies with good...

I suppose I can't help seeing NIO being a decent player in the market and that's what made me interested.

Thank you for your insights. I will look into more funds as it is a fairly sensible option for diversification. Also can be a good stable base to a portfolio. A lot of my stop losses hit (thankfully) back in March so looking to reset my portfolio a bit. I looked into TSLA then but I wasn't...
