I'm due to be picking up my M3P on Tuesday from Birmingham and at admittedly a very late stage I've got a trade in quote from Tesla on my partner's BMW i3. I uploaded the photos they require yesterday morning (Friday) and am waiting for the final offer. Assuming they don't work Saturdays I'm...

Churchill were the cheapest for me, at just over £300 for my M3P. But then I'm an old bloke and insurance is relatively cheap - about the only advantage in getting older I've so far discovered!

Yep, got my reg today and also BK70. I pick up from Birmingham on Tuesday (8th).

The other thing I wanted to ask, as a Tesla newbie, is how busy, generally speaking, the supercharger network gets. My only real nervousness about planning longer trips is whether chargers are working when you arrive at them (I know you can't predict or do anything about that) and whether they...

Yes, the home charger is Pod Point, so been signed up with them for a couple of years. Regarding destination chargers, I notice from Zap Map that a lot of them are labelled as "Customer/patron" only, where they are on a hotel premises. Does that literally mean what it says, i.e. that you can't...

Well I haven't actually had anything in writing asking me to pay, but during one of the conversations on the phone the lady I was speaking to reminded me that payment was needed in full before pickup. I'm going to be on the phone to them again shortly, as I'm going to try to add a trade-in to...

I tried most of last week to arrange a home delivery but after being told time and again that someone "would ring back" which of course they never did, I've given up. So I pick up from Birmingham on Tuesday - hopefully. I've yet to hear what the reg. no will be, so haven't yet arranged...

Thank you chaps, that's all very useful. I'm in the happy position of being retired, so no regular commute for me, but we'll be doing some longer journeys in the M3P from time to time. At the moment I've only had experience of Pod Point and the i3 is one of the older ones with a range of only...

I pick up my new M3P next week (hopefully!). Apart from Tesla's own supercharger network, what are the best charge networks to be equipped for when undertaking longer trips? I've got the Pod Point app, as my partner has had a BMW i3 for a couple of years. What else ought I to be looking at...

OK, thanks. Mine is a cash purchase, so maybe they don't offer home delivery unless it's a lease. Tim.

Did you have to ask for home delivery or was it imposed by Tesla? I've been trying to arrange home delivery for my M3P for days but just can't get a response from the delivery team. Tim.

Well, getting nowhere fast with this. Phoned the delivery team again today, spoke to a chap called Colin, explaining I wanted to arrange home delivery. "Should be fine" he said "but I'll check". After a long wait he said he'd ring back. He didn't. Phoned them again, and spoke to a lady...

Well that's bizarre. The chap I spoke to clearly said that they were not currently doing home delivery! I think I'll have to call again and be more insistent. Tim.

Well, no flexibility from Tesla on delivery. They've given me a slot at Heathrow on 8th September. I called them to ask if they would do a home drop as I'll have no transport by then, or at least let me pick up from the service centre at Milton Keynes. Nope, they're not doing home drops at...

Hctip, that's very useful. Where were they asking you to collect from initially? A home drop would be perfect for me. I'm in Northamptonshire, so fairly central. Tim.

I've just placed my order for an inventory M3P and have only been offered Heathrow or Southampton for delivery. Do Tesla offer any flexibility in this, as, frankly, I don't really want to travel to either of those. I have a service centre nearby, in Milton Keynes. Would they possibly...

Thanks for that, that's encouraging. I'm just a very impatient person! Tim.

I'm completely new to the Tesla way of doing things and about to order a M3 Performance. My question is, if you order from their inventory is the whole process any quicker? I'm not too fussed about colour, so there's likely to be something in inventory which will fit the bill. Thanks, Tim.

By the way, WBAC came back saying that they have suspended valuations for the time-being.....

Thanks guys, yes I think I read that they offer a trade-in which would give them break-even at the auctions. No Tesla for me in the forseeable future if c £16K is all they'll offer for the Golf R - I'll stay as I am! Tim.

Anyone know how on earth Tesla arrive at the value for a trade-in vehicle? I got a valuation from them about a month or so ago for my 2018 VW Golf R, which at around £23k I thought was pretty reasonable. I'd indicated my interest was the Model 3. A few days ago, I asked for a new valuation...

Just to update this topic - I managed to get the images I was after this afternoon, by using the online chat facility on the Tesla website. I was quite impressed that there are a number of images there specifically to draw attention to cosmetic damage (to the interior mostly). I now have to...

Hi all, I'm new to Tesla and this forum. I'm looking at buying a 2015 model S P90D from Tesla's used inventory. Just a couple of questions for those who have a bit of experience. 1) Are used vehicles from Tesla generally sound? I know the warranty is good, but wondering about the cosmetic...
