I went new in the end. Main issue I had was that the used M3 I was looking to buy in Slough had outstanding finance on it. After 10 days the garage I was buying from were still not able to confirm if the financed had been paid off. They were saying it had but Tesla were saying it hadn’t. I...

Just wondering if anyone can assist with a question based on the VIN of my 22 plate M3 which I’m due to collect on Saturday. For the 22 version am I getting the correct battery? The vin for character 7 is E which the decoder pulls up as ‘typically lithium ion’ but the list of cars it lists...

I nearly went for the one in Birmingham today which was white with Aeros and black interior. I’m going to give it a couple of days in the hope of something else coming up :)

Couple of LR models landed on the new inventory today. Went pretty quick. I’d like to bag a white one with the white interior and 19s (or one or the other if not both). Hopefully one will appear in the next couple of days in good time for a 22 plate.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but it’s a further question on New Inventory. Would a new inventory vehicle be pre registered or would it be registered on collection? There’s a few appearing at the moment and if I do go for one I’d probably not be able to collect until next week (away for...

Damn it. I know if I go and look at it this week I’ll end up buying it lol. It’s annoying as I’m currently car less after letting my Jaguar go last weekend so the long wait is a bit of a pain. May just hire something for a couple of weeks until 22 plates come out. Hopefully there will be some...

They are in the process of clearing the outstanding finance as I’ve said I want that evidenced before I commit. I’ve got all the reference numbers so I can check directly with Tesla as well. I take it the VIN number doesn’t show what battery it is and it is just a case of checking in the car by...

Thinks the new 22 version has a slightly larger battery than the December 21 version I’ve been looking at. Range was changed on the Tesla site and I’m sure it was a larger capacity battery.

There’s quite a few nearly new ones around where people are getting MYs. This is the only one I’ve seen with EAP for sub £50k. Still struggling to know what to do. Do we know much about the new battery yet? Is it just a bit bigger or is it a different type of battery?

I’ve been torn on which way to go. I’ve got a refundable deposit down on a used M3 LR. Just waiting on the weather being better so I can get it bought. However as it’s a refundable deposit I’m just double checking that I’m making the right choice. It’s a Dec 21 registered 71 plate with white...

I was very keen on the white interior and the alloys so that was two extras I was keen on. I’m signed up to the Telegram notifications via the Tesla Info site and none of those come up on accelerated delivery so it would be a case of waiting quite a while. EAP is a nice to have in my opinion. I...

If I spec it new on Tesla it comes in at £55,900. I’m paying £49,900 so it’s a £6k discount on new list price. At present I’ve only paid the deposit to hold it pending confirmation that EAP is enabled and also general condition. It’s being sold by a garage with extremely good reviews on...

Thanks all. I think the late 21 models did have the hairpin motors but think it was only the 22 models that had the new battery and different processor. The 21 models did have the data enabled USB before Tesla reverted back to power only and updated the spec to reflect this. It’s been a tough...

So I’ve decided to go for a used M3LR instead of buying new. It was a really close call in the end but I’ve gone for a December 21 registered LR with less than 3000 miles on the clock. The bonus of EAP, White interior and the 19 inch alloys sold it for me. I know some would have gone new for a...
