Thanks for the offer, I saw the other guy's offer first and he went round Saturday morning and spoke to the chap. Great community :)

Thanks all for contributions and suggestions, a kind soul who lives in Burbage on the TOGUK Facebook group kindly went round to the owner's house and passed my number on. He is a very nice chap who is also called Gareth Davies. He noted on his delivery (23rd December) that his email address was...

Tried this and I got the SMS Done this and going to send them a note in the post

Considered this but decided to try this plus a post on the TOGUK Facebook group first to hopefully locate them. Concerns about freaking them out plus I don't know the circumstances of where it is parked. Someone on a night shift, sleeping baby etc. It feels a bit unnecessary bit if this doesn't...

So I took delivery of my Model 3 in September after a nail-biting wait and have been so pleased with it. However, before Christmas I started to get requests via email and text to "collect my blue Model 3 Long Range from Heathrow" (my black SR+ was from Stockport so it was weird even the beyond...

So I started the decade with an 8 year old Saxo. Terrible car with literally no brakes. Since then I've been through a BMW 3 Series Coupe, Merchant C Class and latterly a sensible Insignia (company car) until the Model 3 arrived this year. Notable mention to the car I had to drive while...

I completely agree. But there were 4 chargers available (that wouldn't have even split the charge) that he could use and I couldn't - and yet he refused to move!

Agree with you in principles but even when I explained it to him he refused to move (despite previously being shouty at me for "splitting"!). More I think about it the more I think common sense should prevail and he was just a bit of an @r5e... I'm sure he wasn't a member of this forum

Get the TeslaCam Reviewer app and you can plug your SSD directly into your mobile phone to review any events (will need a USB adaptor relevant to your phone - i got a pack of 2 for 8 quid from Amazon).

Apologies if this has already been discussed but I can't find a thread on it... So I turn up at a Supercharger where there are 8 stalls but only 4 are able to support my Model 3 (CCS). There is a Model S on one of the CCS stalls and Model X on another (with a gap in between). I go to charge...

I got a Rolec and have to say I was very impressed. Only got the definite say-so from Tesla on the Friday that my car was arriving on the Monday and the Rolec installed (McNally Electric) arranged to be at my house Monday afternoon. Showed me how to work the app (ev.energy) which seamlessly...

Mine arrived yesterday and I fitted them straight away having taken delivery of the car last Monday. I love them! I like the really tight fit and the depth of the pile is really comfortable without being so long it's going to attract too much dirt. I'm made up with them and so is Mrs D. Nice one!

I had a Rolec install happen while I was collecting. Got someone to sit in for me which was ace... Arrived home to him finishing off the install ready for keep to juice up!

Wow! They told me I'd got lucky and it was someone who hadnt been able to collect. Hope you get yours soon. Hope you get sorted really soon!

Must admit that after months of being on here mining for information and driving myself mad I have had to come off here for a bit and give it a rest! Definitely helped me to forget about it a bit until this week.

I dropped in to explain my situation which was, cutting a long story short, that I was going to have to buy a stopgap or arrange a rental this weekend. I explained how I'm happy time change the exterior or interior colour in order to get it sooner and would be willing to travel. I am actually in...

So things have moved for me this week. I now have a new VIN in the 463*** range and have a collection at Birmingham Summer Hill Road on Monday morning - 16th September! My SC was supposed to be Stockport but they have been able to match me to a car in London that someone couldn't collect and...

Very true! I did think that but the reference to quality made me think Yev was implying we'd be getting China built cars. Exciting times anyway.

Showed the wife the photos and description and she reckoned £300 so I think you're doing alright. I personally aren't too bothered about a boot liner but as a package I think it works and will be buying. I suggested to the wife a few months ago that with all these Model 3s coming we should...

Same. Blue shown but I ordered black. Must be a stock photo. In fact the detail on the decoder was quite basic. Tesla Model 3 is about all it gave me.

After reading this I went to check mine and I have two as well. What does it all mean?!

China won't be making cars for Europe, only Asia and maybe Australia, although not seen that confirmed.

I don't have one. I'd put it my previous post I had the text and was clarifying it wasn't The Text but the one everyone got on Friday.

Search Model3VINs on twitter and scroll back through their tweets to the one where the highest VIN is higher than yours. Looks like yours was registered 3rd July!

I've put it into some of the VIN checkers online and some rerognise it's a Tesla but no further details. Some say not recognised at all. My batch was registered 24th July so yours must be even earlier. 5YJ3F7EA0KF475*** BTW, for the purpose of the spread sheet, when I say "update text" I...

Got the update text yesterday and a VIN in the SC overnight. 475***.

So I got the text yesterday and a VIN in my SC overnight (beside myself with excitement) and it's 4753** which puts it in a batch registered 24th July. Interesting given that most VINs I see at the moment are in the 490***s on even 5******s. Hoping it means mine in going to already be in the...

Slightly impossible when Tesla are contacting some people out the blue for a collection that week!

AJonny I am at exactly the same stage (BH PCP rather than company HP) and I am hoping this is just the "waiting for a VIN stage" and we aren't stuck! I have spoken to my SC and they have confirmed all is good and just awaiting a VIN allocation. It's like waiting for Christmas as a child but you...

Is in me or does compare the market only have performance? £2.3k for me (not really valid as I'm SR+)... Directline £1,300 for the SR+ and Churchill £800 for SR+... Beggars belief when they're the same company.

Removed FSD (did it on Thursday)

I did it this morning. Rang 01628450606 and they sorted it pretty quickly. Said this won't affect my delivery (not that I have a VIN or a slot) and a lot of people are doing it to take advantage of the price drop. It's as though they don't want us to buy FSD over here the way it's been...

As much as I agree with you, that last bit of your post really did make me smile. What other car has anyone ever known to evoke such excitement and desperation on the part of buyers? I think it'll be worth the wait!

Me too

I've had that one today but not The Text. The wait is driving me (and even the wife) mad.

Yep. SR+ Black / white. But no VIN and no text.

Bit of advice please... If you get it untethered what's the actual difference? Does it just mean using the Tesla supplied wire everytime? If so then for me that's a no brainer as my charger will be on view. I don't want a messy looking cable flapping about so I'll get it untethered.

I've emailed them today no see what they're doing about it. This all adds up to virtually no advantage to ordering FSD early before the price rise in May but I'm not too bothered as it was this price rise that persuaded the wife to let me order :D I await my new (old) order agreement to be...

Yes it's just laziness I search for 5Y as its never been there until today. Its just contained in some meaningless string of text, not even anything as exciting as a Model X VIN :(

Half an ago I checked my source code for "5Y" - nothing. Checked again just now and it's there! Nearly jumped out of my seat... Until I realised it isn't followed by a J... Its not a VIN They're teasing me! :(

Hi I know I'm on there already but for completeness I have: 18 aeros No tow bar No reservation Order no 3589 Service Centre is South Manchester (Stockport) PCP Finance No trade in No VIN anywhere Thanks for doing this, very interesting as deliveries happen

18" aeros and yes I got in before the price increase which has now been applied on my new order agleement. No reservation, just dived right in! Order number is about 3,500. Tried clicking on the sheet, think I filled it in a while ago but its not letting me open it today hmm

Hi It sounds like you have a similar spec to me... SR+ BLACK / WHITE, FSD... Not seen anyone have the exact same although I think Tony Hoyle is close... Have you ordered white interior as well? Have you been allocated a VIN yet?

Same for me except I have a price INCREASE on my original order due to my chosen specs. Not had anything since so if they don't amend it I'm ringing them tomorrow.

Cost of this pre-grant was £48,250 and for someone ordering today it's £48,340... I have been emailed a new order agreement (twice) which has the more expensive price on it! Hoping like fakoriginal says that I won't be paying more! It has the new base price + £750 for black + £5,800 for FSD...

Me too. I have a black / white SR+ FSD on order. The same car ordered today is virtually the same (within £100) price due to the "base price" being reduced but black and FSD being pricier and therefore negating the reduction. Could switch to "stormtrooper" option and actually save money but I...

Thanks for the advice everyone I will up my checking to a minimum of 10 times per day and hopefully I shall be rewarded :confused:

I have never seen a VIN in my source code despite checking a minimum of five times a day. I felt happy reading that people have had theirs disappear. WHAT is this doing to me?! I'm a nice person normally :(

Not for a second doubting youas this is the first I've heard of this but how have these issues on European models with grit come to light since deliveries were only taking place in Spring? Which European country was it and do you have a link to a story about this? Sorry I'm an obsessive and I...

I didn't have a reservation, I was planning to reserve one and then the market opened up earlier than expected. Glad I didn't now!
