Give them a call and ask them if they can deliver it. I was told over the phone this week that they were doing no more home deliveries and I would have to drive over 2 hours to collect. I explained that would be very difficult to justify in the current lockdown. I then called back to see if...

Ok, well having said all that, Tesla have called and they're going to be delivering my car to me today from Heathrow. I'll let you know when that's a certainty, as in it's on my driveway.

I can't believe how close we were to getting our cars, I knew it was on a knife edge and that impending lockdown was going to mess things up. It's just getting harder to get it sorted. I can't believe they're still asking people to travel to go and collect them.

Yeah I also had a text saying they'd deliver. Think they're struggling for delivery drivers.

Yeah I've spoken with them too, seems that they're moving the cars from Southampton to either Heathrow or Leeds based on Southern or Northern collection locations originally chosen. For me that means that although I live in Derby and I was due to collect from Birmingham, they've assigned mine...

When did you find out they were bringing it today?

Just to add that when I spoke to Tesla yesterday they said there were still about 1,000 cars in Southampton.

I'm in the same boat and believe that yes they will be looking to deliver the car to you at home. Did you get a text asking to confirm where you wanted it delivered? I'd imagine they'd still want to get these done by next Tuesday for their figures if they can.

New Text just received: Tesla Update: We would like to deliver your Tesla direct to your home location and would kindly ask that you reply to this SMS confirming your full delivery address, including postcode. A Tesla Advisor will then reach out to you to finalise the details. To unsubscribe...

The delivery date has also disappeared from my account page even though I spoke to someone at Birmingham earlier today who said it should still be on for Thursday. He did however advise that the car was still in Southampton so I think that it will be issues with transporters getting them from...

I've paid in full, not sure how they'd cancel that order. Makes no sense, a delay yeah but to cancel and force me to order again with the increased price due to OLEV grant seems absurd.

Where did you get that info from?

Yes well funny that, I've just been reading the bill which has been passed through the House of Commons to be debated in the House of Lords before passing into law. The elements around enforcement and fines mainly seem to be related to gatherings and forcibly closing premises. Premises do...

I'm not saying this makes it right but the law won't be passed through the house of lords until Thursday at the earliest. So it won't actually be illegal to leave your house until after the law passes. From my perspective, collecting a car in a safe and contactless way is way less risky than...

It does take the Mick though, I've literally not left my house for over a week as I was already doing the social distancing to reduce the risk. I'd be pretty comfortable driving in my private car with my wife and doing a contactless handover with Tesla on Thursday. But because a load of idiots...
