Excellent! At long last. That's my wedding anniversary too! I am v jealous. Really wanted those wheels. They did ship some after all then. Would love to hear what you think of them when you finally get it. That was v fast and lucky to get the upgrade offered with the price-match. Good for...

Thanks @Rimigo , yeah that's what I thought. It's been nice to drive for a week. Good to experience it and be able to compare it to the M3 when I finally get it tomorrow or Tuesday. It's got FSD too so I'll have a good comparison to the standard AP. I wonder if I'll miss it. Not sure I will.

Hi, I'm back from business travels. Trying to catch-up on the sheet. Seeing loads of delivery appointments for long-time orders and late orders alike - plus seen one unicorn appointment too! Great for everyone who is finally getting their car. Still, no car for me but should be picking up...

haha, yeah me! Got a VIN and delivery appointment almost straight away. About a week later I turned up to collect, no car. No one cared. Fed up.

Yeah, and hearing that you might get moved to a hotel that's still under construction! I am probably going to cancel my order. A mate of mine (not on this forum) cancelled his order recently and they couldn't have been less bothered! They just told him he'd get his deposit refunded within the...

I am having a serious wobble. If (big IF) I get a call Monday morning saying I can collect Monday afternoon I'm going to refuse. I'm travelling on business next week anyway and am going to talk the decision over with my boss. He is fairly impartial in all this, lives in California, familiar with...

blimey, that took some time for a P+

TLDR: I am not getting my car anytime soon. Here's the final part of the story for the time being... I've just been informed my car is not an exception – in Birmingham alone, I am one of 22 on that site they are missing. So no sign of a delivery date this weekend or even next week for that...

I had a VIN, a registration number, a confirmed appointment, they took my payment and even finalised the paperwork while I was at my bogus collection appointment. They just emailed me and followed up with a call. More of the same though... "It's a priority... not here yet... at the port and...

Thanks @Fraank for your kind words of support. If it goes from bad to worse that may be quite helpful! But let's hope they can figure out a way to get my car from Killingholme port where they are now saying it is stuck. No word of when it will be dispatched. Good luck today, I hope your car is...

Thanks @JCremonini I have a registration number. I had it 3 days ago.

Thanks @AndrewR Yes, they should have transferred £9k back into my account, good point. They promised to update me yesterday afternoon. It's now 10am the following day and I have heard nothing.

Hi @m3gt2 Yes, I asked for a loaner or hire car which was when the little **** started quoting T&Cs at me. I was being polite until that point which is when I went into full lecture mode about logistics. I should have asked him how he would feel if I took £11k of his hard-earned cash, promising...

This is a million miles away from legal action. Putting it into perspective I have only lost half a day of my time. Arguably it's not their fault I have sold my car, that's my own fault for jumping the gun because I had a good offer. Currently, it's sat on my driveway and I could cancel the sale...

I know, but where does that get me?A full refund? Can't see how it would help me get a car any faster. Unless you think I can force competition?

Yep! That is a rare one! Well, hopefully when you go to collect the car itself won't vanish, like mine! No! Definitely not! You can pay the day before you collect, or on the day if you haven't got restrictions on the values per day. Excellent! The Day 1 Day 1 unicorn has a VIN in the source...

I could not disagree more. I personally know of 3 people who never post on forums who have all cancelled their orders for Model 3 and are waiting until next year, not to re-order, but to get the new VW Golf or something else. They have major concerns that after-sales service is going to be as...

I fully expect not to hear from them tomorrow either, so I'm going to go back. The only way to make any progress whatsoever is face-to-face at this stage. Despite honouring the offer for my trade-in made back in June, 5,000 miles and 3 months later, the value was £2000 lower than webuyanycar.com...

Thanks, everybody for the messages of support. It made a big difference during an incredibly frustrating day whilst on a train back home. Still no car and they claim they don't know when it will show up. All the guy on the front desk wanted to do when I arrived was argue and quote their ordering...

You are so right @Sixer , you are so right...

What a load of baloney from Tesla UK yet again. They have NOT stopped manufacturing these wheels and there are plenty in the USA and also Europe. They should say they have stopped assembling RHD configurations with the 19" Sport wheels and so there are very few configurations available. Also, I...

Tesla UK has to have the worse customer service and delivery experience of Tesla worldwide. I am on my 6th final Invoice (See screenshot). Not entirely sure about all the changes. I have had a confirmed delivery/collection appointment for tomorrow Thursday 12th September for over a week now...

It seems to vary, but on the whole, it goes... SC VIN, Delivery Estimate (a range first, then later a date), Final Invoice (with date and VIN), occasionally a Final Invoice without a VIN Delivery Appointment confirmed on Manage page VIN on Manage Page As mentioned, sometimes this varies...

Good to hear! I am amazed you can't actually do that. I wonder if that could be a software update? I seriously doubt Elon has anyone reviewing this forum and reporting back to him! Does anyone know how to get feedback to Tesla though? Apple and Google both have very accessible feedback system...

Great @elecTED thanks for the report, very useful. I look forward to hearing further reports later down the line as you seem like a discerning fellow!

Hi @interbear, I thought you were getting closer, SC VIN, delivery date estimate etc.?

There are some good member names on this forum. Krazymuthafuka after @Krazymuthafuka - love that name. Other names I might steal for my car are @Electric Dream or @Terry Daktil after the drop of oil I've left behind.

I guess it was a P- someone cancelled either because the LRAWD is quite a bit cheaper and the P+ is pretty much the same price now. About Bristol, explains why I wasn't offered collection from there. Strange how it was an option on the website back in May and that the person I was talking to...

Good move. Sad to lose the 19" wheels though :(

I was talking to someone from Tesla in Amsterdam today about the problem customers are having with orders for towbars and 19" Wheels. They confirmed they were both a real problem (in terms of availability) but that Tesla in the US had been in touch to say a very large batch of Model 3's with...

They called me. I havent made a phone call to anyone at Tesla for about 2 months. I did the hour+ on hold before the line was cut once back in June and never tried again. All correspondence has been emailed with plenty of phone calls from Tesla but after a very long time of no contact. I ended...

Thinking hard now about how the conversation actually went. I've now had two conversations about SC collection points. This was the first one last week. I said I could collect from pretty much any SC in the UK, including Edinburgh. They asked me which collection points I would prioritise and...

I now have a VIN, finally! Changed to P- 18" Aero from LRAWD 19" Wheels. They still couldn't say if a car matching my spec was on the way. I have to pay slightly more for the P- and I may also want to purchase different wheels aftermarket, so I dropped FSD. I was a little miffed at the £900...

That was so funny. Had to play Sinead on youtube in the background while I read it. Spot on!

I have. I've cancelled FSD in part due to Mr Fanboy himself. But I think its a cover though, to appear somewhat balanced. Secretly he loves playing with his FSD.

I spoke to Tesla (the entity) again today. Nice long and unrushed conversation for a change. We were discussing the LRAWD 19" with Tow combo. They also call it 'the Unicorn' in-house at tesla. She did confirm that someone in the US told them there is a vessel with a large bunch of RHD model 3's...

@Peteski... forever the fanboy... :p

From what I have seen, the dates on the Final Invoice are sometimes bang-on but most times change a bit. I remember someone's just disappeared altogether. If you really want Birmingham as a collection location you should tell them. Particularly when you consider this...! Model 3 collection -...

Is it a 'final invoice'? Excellent! Same day as me! Well done, at LONG last! They are merged. Sometimes there is a small delay, but I 'validate' the form responses before adding them to the main sheet (Reservation Sort - because this was the original sheet). Once I have a few new entries I...

I completely agree. If I had a choice right now, I'd definitely take the LRAWD with the 19s. I love those wheels and think they look better than any 3rd party option I've seen. I'd hate to have the 20" with the increased anxiety around kerbs and potholes. However, I am quite looking forward to...

Thanks! I'll do my best for as long as there is enough interest in it. Hopefully, Tesla will improve their information flow and render it redundant at some point. I do scan other threads, such as the UK inbound ships thread and manage to pick up posts with updated info from those too. I also...

Excellent news! 19" with Tow!!! Amazing. Makes me wonder if my original LRAWD will be knocking around somewhere soon.

What a great video!! Thanks for posting that. I'd seen the one he did after hitting that pothole but I didn't realise he had posted this one. Great in-depth explanation about swapping wheels on a Model 3. I still think the 19" would be the perfect compromise between aesthetics and practicality...

I think wheels are treated just like tyres insofar as insurance is concerned. You would have to insure them as an itemised addition to the car if you expected the insurance company to replace them like-for-like. Otherwise, they will just payout on the wheels the car originally came with. I once...

what do you mean?

I pushed pretty hard. Politely, but hard.

Yeah, thanks Dan, I see your referral is showing as pending! I do see updates that come through from the form. The cells are marked with the comment "Responder updated this value" but sadly not the date the update was made, so it's tricky to keep on top of the updates. I'm trying to figure out...

Did you?!! Brilliant, thanks! That's amazing. I'll let you know if the referral works! Your order details came through to the spreadsheet via the form ok. Not sure what link you are referring to though? Which lease company are you using by the way? Looks like you're just over a month from...

Thanks @jimmymc . I noticed that too. You are absolutely right about holding on, but I have just been offered a P- and I may well go for it. I'm also considering dropping FSD to wait for an improvement in the UK. In a year or so I'll pop some alternative aftermarket 19" wheels on, perhaps when...

There are plenty of examples of owners switching for aftermarket wheels of all three rim size (18", 19" and 20"). Also switching out the 18" Aero for 19" Sport and even the car graphic on the interior display updates. The only thing which is tricky/unadvisable is swapping 20" from the P+ for...
