**Update** Tesla solved this. Finally got through to an extremely helpful Tesla customer service person who was surprised the other two found it so hard. Email my Tesla account asking for permission to merge the "other" account with mine and copy of photo ID. 5 min later car was in my account...

Yes, its the email address that is wrong and Its the "joebloggs@" part that is wrong (missing a letter). Currently on hold (at the 53rd min) trying to see if there are any other solutions. I have tried to set up that email, but someone already owns it (and in theory has been offered an account...

I'm looking for some tips if anyone has been in my situation. I bought a second hand model 3 from a reputable dealer a couple weeks ago, but we have been having major issues getting the car into my Tesla account. After having spoken to Tesla Customer Service, it turns out the dealer made a...

I'm coming up on a year in my M3 without a home charger (or off street parking). But I do have a (free) chargeplace Scotland rapid charger a 5 min walk away that I rely on. I also only use car for business trips (when those were still a thing), weekends and holidays. With covid I only put just...

Also the thread of the rest of route here is My North Coast 500 summary

Still around lurking, but not posting as much... The chargeplace Scotland chargers are variable, but never been left out. I don't have a charger at home, so rely on them. But, due to less travel for work (covid), haven't used many outside the central belt. So, I haven't been up NC500 way in a...

We did the NC500 in a SR+ last year. If it helps, here is my post on the trip when returned. Top tip for the islands is plan to charge at ferry ports. Many have chargeplace Scotland chargers. My North Coast 500 summary

It has also been pointed out elsewhere that as of the new year there are a number of new "superchargers coming in 2020" across the UK. In Scotland this now includes; A new one larger in Edinburgh, Fort William, Aberdeen, Inverness, Stirling, and Berwick upon Tweed (Not technically Scotland). It...

My vote is all in, I'm aware of the highlands council, and in particular Oban, making switches to electric fleets. I'm in Edinburgh but travel extensively through the highlands and have never had a problem, and only have a SR+ There are plenty of chargers both throughout the Highlands and on...

No didn't try to charge to full... that last 10-20% really slows down and we we're usually charging over a meal, or something shortish. 80% was our go-to charge for all the chargers other than when we left (91%) and the last morning (95%) which is the longest section without a charger. In...

There wasn't as much traffic as we were expecting, and over the whole route we only passed 1 group of super cars traveling together. It could have been that it was the last week of the tourist season. A few places told us they were closing for winter after this week. One problem was hired...

Yes I did... Sorry to hear you dont have it... :( Spotify also added wth V10 and works over the car's data. Not that the car's data was always reliable in the highlands.

I won't list the ones I wouldn't reccomend but the two I'd reccomend (due to quality and proximity to charger) are The Torridon Inn in Torridon and Croft View Chalets in Melvich You can see the Charge Place Scotland charger statuses in on the Charge Place Scotland website. Its a whorrible...

Photos... Beautiful Car, Beautiful Country

We stayed at the Torrindon Inn... There isn't much else there. You are allowed to use the destination charger if you are eating at their restaurant/pub. But its only a 7kw Charger.

We’re now back to Edinburgh after having driven the entirety of the NC500 (plus the miles from Edinburgh to Inverness) in our Model 3 SR+ and, as promised, here is my write up of the journey… (long read) Our plan was to do the trip over 5 days, stopping for the night once on the east coast...

Two days in and so far has been smooth sailing. Perfect weather. Set off Edinburgh and made it from 91% down to 28% charge in Aviemore. EXTREMELY fast supercharge. Abother short top up from 48% to 83% in Dornoch (staying near by). Today was a very beautiful day. A few issues with blindspot...

Thank for the well wishes.... Todays journey (in about an hour) is from Edinburgh to Brora by way of the Black Isle. Planned Charging stops at Aviemore Supercharge and Tain's Chargeplace Scotland... I'll miss you at Achiltibuie, I won't make it that way until Tuesday. There are loads of Charge...

Tomorrow I'm setting off from Edinburgh for a 5 day trip round the North Coast 500 in my M3 SR+. I've seen parts of it done by a few others in a M3, but attempting the full route counterclockwise (looks easily doable). Depending on WiFi I'll try and post as often I can here and on my twitter...

Thanks, they have given me a '15 p90d as a loaner yesterday (pre face-lift as well). Been driving it around for 24hrs and all of the family (including the 7 year old) mises our M3. Things are also much more manual (5 different stalks on the steering wheel). Don't get me wrong, it's super nice...

How long did yours take to get re-sprayed... like you, some minor defects on the bonnet (I didn't notice, and still can barely see) and I'm dropping of tomorrow afternoon. Also what loaner car did you get? I've got quite a bit of driving to do next week for work and curious what they will give me.

I'm Starting from Edinburgh and heading counter clockwise doing the trip in 5 nights. The only Super Charger on that route is in Aviemore. But, I'm already an avid user of the charge place Scotland network (I use it instead of home charging currently). By my count (and using better route...

I'm planning to do the "full" NC500 during the October school holidays in my M3 SR+. I know its now quite popular for people to do in Model S (lots of peope seem to rent them for the journey). By Maths, its relatively straight forward to do with charge points and I can even miss one or two...

Unless you are in Scotland. Nearly all of the Charge Place Scotland charge points are free. You can find them on the Charge Your Car app or chargeplacescotland.org

Finally spotted my own tesla today... A great ARC reg (need to come up with good pun on electricity arcs and Noah's ark for a name). Got in about 70mi of play time this afternoon!

Because I live in the centre of Edinburgh (I have secure parking but no drive) I'm going to try and rely on the public infrastructure making this a live concern for me. There are already 9 (free) ChargePlace Scotland charge points within a 2 min walk of my house and the city is rolling out 10...

Edinburgh is well served for (free) public charging. I'm assuming whosoever owns it relies on that. But specifically speaking about Montgomery Street, it is one of the locations where Edinburgh will be putting a community EV charging hub in the next 12 months specifically targeting flat...

There has been a Model 3 that is regularly parked front of my office here in Edinburgh on Montgomery Street for about 2 weeks. I think I may have set of Sentry Mode a couple of times taking a closer look ;). It will have an identical twin parked next to it in 8 days when mine arrives. Does it...

Sneaky tip is to phone your local shop sales number rather than the delivery line.... I had to move my delivery by a few hours and waited on hold 90 min before had to go into a meeting and hung up. Phoned the Edinburgh shop just now and got through in 3 min and had my new appointment slot in...

My car seems to have been all over the place.... to update my car in the spreadsheet, Invoice delivery date was 21st.... Despite having initially recieved the 7-20th text, Got text today for 29th, But reschedued for morning of the 30th.

I had the issue that the final invoice Tesla issued me and I sent to EST was credited back to be when the price changed last week. and now all I have is a new order note.... Meaning EST has the wrong invoice. They did sort that out and even told me they spoke to EST on behalf's of a number of...

Its a overly long process for most people. I applied on 25 June and received my paperwork on 16 July (though the online portal showed approved on 12th). Most people seem to be reporting it takes the max (14-15 working days) to get the approval. They do not do financial checks (beyond what you...

Do you know which team you got through to? The calls about EST I got we're from Norway (+47 23966229). I did phone Tesla about it once (when the pricing changed) and they had no clue but had someone from Scotland phone me back later in the day.

Most keen on some floot mats for the front... doesn't seem like anyone has a clear direction on that one...

Yes, Tesla phoned me to ask if I was an EST last week (twice in one day). I had ticked third party financing. It sounded like the we're allocating the EST ones outside of the normal algorythm due to the invoice lead time EST need. Although I have a final invoice now (I keep checking to make sure...

Here is the rest of my details for the sheet: Invoice Number Ends: 56XX Reserved: Not a Reservation Holder Ordered: 25/6/2019 No Trade in. EST (Sctottish Government) Finance SR+, Black, Black interior, AP, 18in Aero Vin in Source: 12/7 Final Invoice: 14/7(It is dated 12th) From that sheet, I...

As I said before... It I've got mixed feelings if I skipped the queue (slight glee mixed with a bit of embarrassment) Invoice Number Ends: 56XX Reserved: Not a Reservation Holder Ordered: 25/6/2019 No Trade in. EST (Sctottish Government) Finance SR+, Black, Black interior, Vin recieved...

My order number is in the 5k's AND I now have a final invoice given to me with a VIN that I have been told to give to my lender to start processing (about as official as one can get these days)... I know that doesn't guarantee me one of the Triumph lot and an Aug delivery, but it sure sounds...

Yesterday would have been the 13th working day for me.. its a weird process as you don't hear anything from them throughthe process other than a thumbs up or down. I also haven't yet receved a formal notification I was approved, but if I log into the EST site the status changed to "loan...

After all the conversations over the past week, I with I woke up this morning to a Final Invoice (including assigned VIN) in my Tesla Account page. That is 3 weeks sooner than I was told I would recieve it 2 days ago (was told early August). Incidently, I also got the sign off on my Scottish...

It is a bit of a crazy length of time, but hey, 6 years no interest.... and the mostly free ChargePlace Scotland charging network... those will save a few ££££ for those of us up here. I do have mixed feelings if we get to jump the queue because of it (I know everyone has been waiting ages)...

They phoned me to ask... "I see you chose third party lending and you are based in Scotland... Can you tell me if that happens to be an EST loan?" Took me a moment to remember that EST meant energy savings trust. Like you, I simply put "third party lending" on my paperwork. This was a follow...

I've just received a third call from Tesla today. They are trying to track down those of us in Scotland using the Scottish Governments zero interest Energy Saving Trust loan to buy our model 3's as apparently the government needs the invoice quite far in advance. It might be just for those of us...

I received the text today also, and a phone call about 3 hours later... I missed the call though and no message :(
