    Is it really worth it?

    I think if you go into it with your eyes open then you won't regret it. Expecting perfection (or even close to it) would be unrealistic, but the car at the end is excellent and I don't think many people would choose differently if they could do so again, despite the odd issues. For me the...

    Collection at WD

    We were there for the quarter end rush and it was a bit manic - we were given about 10 mins with the vehicle (including setting up phone key/ profile etc) and told we had to leave while trying to inspect paint. They asked us to do further checks outside and report defects in the sales office...

    Wish me luck...

    Exactly what I was thinking too, either that or multi presses on the end stalk to cycle. It definitely needs a fix - auto can be improved and that would be great, but there still needs to be a more tactile/ rapid motion to switch modes when it isn’t working.

    West Drayton/Heathrow Sept month end pickups

    Handover today was nice but really rushed, pair, open boot, set driving position and get out. Asked us to go outside to finish checks of paint etc (after 5 mins). However spoke to them after and they let us drive back in to the back of the delivery area and the valet guys were super helpful and...

    Reg Number before delivery

    Me too at 10:00 and nothing still. Luckily I have nothing better to do than wait on the whims of Tesla for sorting out insurance, parking permits etc!

    Pay with Credit Card

    The only way you can do this is using a service like BillHop, but the fee they charge really cancels out any benefit unless perhaps you're paying through a company and can see a gain in taking the points over the cash equivalent of the fees.

    I think I might have sent myself to the back of the queue...... (spec change)

    Yes I’ve seen a few people report similar. I got a delivery appointment with no prior contact and just 2-3 days notice, paid in full, then they told me they had a registration issue with the vehicle (P- Vs LR) and my appointment was cancelled and VIN removed while they sorted asap. That was 3.5...

    M3P+ - What mileage for 100% charge?

    That's how I think it works on the Leaf, so was what I was expecting on the Model 3. If I remember correctly the advertised range is 126 but at 100% in the morning the displayed figure varies anywhere in the 100 - 110 range.

    I think I might have sent myself to the back of the queue...... (spec change)

    Just got a source code VIN in the 500 range this morning, so hopefully some are on the way! Looks like they didn't sort out the previous P- registration issue as my previous allocated VIN was 424.

    Deliverygb Email response time

    Nope, my second email was about a scheduled delivery date that I couldn't make (couldn't get through on the phone either). Although it was later cancelled by somebody that was unaware I had already mailed to say I couldn't make it/ ask for a different slot, so to be fair they *may* have been...

    4 month with(out) my Tesla

    I must have ordered the same spec invisible Tesla as you. Comes with the new FSW feature (Full Self Walking) having been promised a car in mid-August, selling mine and then the delivery cancelled, VIN disappeared and nothing since. The good news is I'm going on holiday in a couple of weeks...

    Best home charger

    That's similar to the units I have with physical locks (British Gas/ Polar and PodPoint), in that they don't lock the cable in place but just disable the charging.

    Order to delivery times

    Unfortunately there isn't really a standard delivery time at the moment while they clear the order backlog. I ordered early May and still waiting. It depends on your config, how many people are in the queue ahead of you with that spec, what cars are on the ships arriving and whether you...

    M3 Questions

    1. Heathrow most likely. You can choose, but seems closest to you. 2. No, but assuming you have a drive/ somewhere to install the charger then home charging isn’t really something to worry about. There are lots of options and with the grant you can get some installed for ~£350. 3. Yes but out of...

    UK Electricity Tariffs for EVs

    I just had a smart meter installed by Bulb (Dorset area) last month, so they are happening! Mind you the in home display stopped displaying figures for electricity usage the very next day, which if you search online seems a very common problem that they haven’t fixed. Gas figures are fine, but...

    Are you a creeper?

    I've always meant to ask this, but why would you switch creep off? I've heard that off is the recommended setting but it seems to me that in slow traffic it's easier to have creep on and lift off/ press the brake than it is to have to press the accelerator and switch back to the brake? I'm sure...

    2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

    Very lucky - I am in exactly the same boat (apart from fortunately haven't sold my car yet), as it seems they have had registration issues with a number of P-/ LR AWD vehicles and they cancelled my delivery 24 hours before last week (not that I could have made it anyway, but that's another...

    First contact after ordering.

    Contact? I don't understand this term. Seriously though, it depends on your luck. I ordered 12th May (when website said June delivery), had no contact other than the auto order confirmation email until mid-late July when somebody called to confirm my order details. Then nothing at all until...

    For anyone who's lost their VIN lately with P-/ LR AWD

    Yes from the sound of it they haven’t unmatched the VINs but removed the visibility from customers while they reconcile. Hopefully it’s not going to be too much of a delay.

    For anyone who's lost their VIN lately with P-/ LR AWD

    I had a last minute delivery appointment come through last Monday evening (no prior delivery window) for Thursday morning but they called to cancel on Wednesday saying "we have come across a registration / matching issue that is holding your specific configuration up and we can’t currently...

    Was your delivery window missed?

    @interbear - I had a sudden delivery scheduled for last Thursday at Heathrow but they phoned me Wednesday to cancel due to a registration issue. I thought they meant with my car (maybe it was a different spec to the VIN or something) but they sent me a mail after saying: "As discussed we have...

    BP Chargemaster = Daylight robbery.

    As a leaf owner it’s really quite strange to see all the negative comments about Ecotricity. They’re the only consistently reliable charge network I’ve used in the 5 years I’ve driven an EV (never had a situation where at least one stall didn’t work). But the whole charging situation is a mess...

    Pod Point installed today - they were excellent!

    No excuse for your terrible service, but they were great when I had mine fitted back in June. Emailed back within 24 hours of the order to confirm installation details, booked a slot about 2 weeks later for the install, turned up on time and fitted cleanly and efficiently (contracted out...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    Me too with the red LRAWD. Had a VIN/ delivery for today but (apart from the fact I couldn't make the delivery anyway but nobody was answering the phone) they phoned me to cancel as there was a "registration/ matching issue that is holding your specific configuration up". From the way it was...

    My car is gone...:/

    Similar experience. Ordered early May, 1 call in mid-July to confirm details and nothing else. Then suddenly a delivery appointment with 2.5 days' notice that I couldn't make. Spent over 6 hours on hold, sent an email and replied to their text with no response. Sent two other emails earlier in...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    Only that if you do get a call ask them if you can have a direct email to contact them if any further queries/ issues. The person that called me from Heathrow today was a bit reluctant but did send me a direct email so I could contact him with any more concerns about the delivery (when/ if they...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    You're probably better sending an email (although don't expect a fast response). I tried calling multiple times over the last 2 days including two separate 2 hour calls an no answer (delivery scheduled Thursday and I can't make it). Got a call this morning apologising that they would have to...

    Need to contact Tesla... The inevitable delivery/holiday clash has happened!

    Got this text about 2 hours ago too and said No because I really can’t make Thur at all. Nothing so far. Hopefully they will contact rather than straight reallocate!

    Need to contact Tesla... The inevitable delivery/holiday clash has happened!

    01628 450606 for deliveries but I have been on hold to them for a total of about 6 hours over the last 2 days and no answer (longest single call 2hrs 15, the rest about 1 hour). I got a delivery appointment for Thur that I can’t make last night having had no previous contact or window. Sent an...

    Waiting for delivery text...

    Having not heard anything other than a cursory call in mid July to confirm details I have suddenly had a delivery appointment come through for this Thursday! Which is great apart from i) I'm working, ii) some of my money requires a few days' notice to withdraw, iii) I have not even started...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    Not entirely true though, as I have Heathrow and in my case still don't have any delivery date (although got a VIN in SC today) compared with somebody in Birmingham that ordered the same spec 1 month later (both no reservation) and has an Aug delivery. It seems to me that allocation is all just...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    interbear was replying to my message re: the fact I'd ordered the same colour/ spec/ no financing or trade in (except that I had FSD on my order), but I ordered 12th May compared to a June order (both no reservation) and I don't have a delivery confirmed and only got a source code vin a couple...

    Text message update!

    The UK registration system has a new plate twice a year. 09 = 2009 H1, 59 = 2009 H2, 19 = 2019 H1 and 69 = 2019 H2. So beyond the humour factor of a 69 plate, cars registered just a few days apart can be treated by the second hand market as 6 months apart with the potential resale value...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    Yeah me neither - I did originally get a trade in quote, but removed it from my order after about a week or two, so still before you had even placed your order. Perhaps they are queuing FSD models separately....or perhaps they're just making it up as they go along! I am now going to spend the...

    More Uk-bound Ships?

    Interestingly that's exactly the same spec and situation as me (except I added FSD, which you didn't mention but shouldn't really affect deliveries as it's a software option). I ordered May 12th, no reservation. Only got a vin in source code 2 days ago and no contact re: delivery beyond that (as...

    Tesla update SMS

    LR AWD... it's back? (and cheaper?)

    Sorry, I should have said £660 cheaper despite this; could be £1560 cheaper if they had honoured the FSD price.

    LR AWD... it's back? (and cheaper?)

    Got the revised invoice just now for LR AWD. £660 cheaper, which is lovely, but disappointingly they haven’t honoured the early ordering FSD price and so this has increased to £5800 instead of £4900. Has anybody had differently - some said they had verbal confirmation the lower price would still...
