    Model Y UK Delivery

    I'm fairly sure that you need to have taken delivery of a Model Y and have it in your account before purchase is enabled. Read it somewhere on this forum. Suggest attempting again after delivery.

    Bluewater reg plate?

    I am collecting next week from Bluewater with reg plate GL. Presumably there will be a range of letter prefixes from Bluewater?

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Going via the comparison website confused.com worked cheapest for me with Admiral insurance. Many insurers are still not recognising the Model Y even with collections starting today!

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Having researched GAP insurance prior to the delivery of my Model Y I came across ALA insurance who seem to be well reviewed. They were quoting £385 for 3 year GAP insurance. If anyone on this forum has real world experience with them it would be good to know. GAP Insurance | GAP Insurance...

    Plus factor in the potential increase in insurance premiums as PPF is considered a car modification! Some insurers may even decline insurance

    I'm yet to break the new of a potential lack of a parcel shelf on a £55K+ car to the better half. She may go nuts on collection day 😳

    octopus Go smart meter requirements ?

    Octopus are apparently not installing smart meters at present. I rang them this afternoon to enquire about switching from British Gas (SVR tariff) to October Go. Apparently it is a no go as I do not have a smart meter and they are currently not installing due to financial cut backs. They...

    Model Y UK Insurance Quotes Gone Live

    Hi Ethernat. My understanding is that the pre delivery number plates won't be linked to the DVLA database at the time of issue preventing auto population of the car details on Insurer's databases. Cars are not normally registered with the DVLA until 24-48 hours before delivery. However, as you...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    Agree. I just sold my 12 year old Audi Q5 last week via Motorway and could not fault the experience. Offered £1.7K more than Tesla trade-in and £1K more than WBAC. The WBAC experience was disappointing with an inflated internet quote to draw customers in followed by excessive reductions for...

    Model Y UK Delivery

    I failed to respond to the 19th Feb pick up invitation. When I called Tesla CS I was advised similar to you with a reallocated car for March collection. Yet when the invitation expired I was sent an SMS within 48 hours and booked collection for 26th February. P.S. You should be able to get an...

    Model Y UK Insurance Quotes Gone Live

    I would suggest that anyone taking delivery of a MY this month gets a quote "in the bag" from a comparison site (Admiral Insurance via confused.com worked best for me). Although more insurers may go live in the next couple of weeks, premiums are likely to get inflated by the short timescale to...

    Got the same SMS. I am another 19th Southampton non-responder. Car booked for collection at Bluewater. :)

    Model Y UK Delivery

    How frustrating! Not a good example of Tesla customer service and hope they apologised. I also received a text (last Friday) for the 19th Feb MY event. I never replied as I had no chance of going due to work and had assumed that the assigned MY got unmatched. My only confusion is that I still...

    Model Y UK Insurance Quotes Gone Live

    I've found quotes via confused.com to work out the cheapest amongst the comparison websites. Admiral insurance are working best for me. I spoke to LV this week, who are currently not quoting for the MY, as I am currently insured with them. Their technical team advised to check next week as there...
