Give them a call and ask them if they can deliver it. I was told over the phone this week that they were doing no more home deliveries and I would have to drive over 2 hours to collect. I explained that would be very difficult to justify in the current lockdown. I then called back to see if...

Ok, well having said all that, Tesla have called and they're going to be delivering my car to me today from Heathrow. I'll let you know when that's a certainty, as in it's on my driveway.

I can't believe how close we were to getting our cars, I knew it was on a knife edge and that impending lockdown was going to mess things up. It's just getting harder to get it sorted. I can't believe they're still asking people to travel to go and collect them.

Yeah I also had a text saying they'd deliver. Think they're struggling for delivery drivers.

Yeah I've spoken with them too, seems that they're moving the cars from Southampton to either Heathrow or Leeds based on Southern or Northern collection locations originally chosen. For me that means that although I live in Derby and I was due to collect from Birmingham, they've assigned mine...

When did you find out they were bringing it today?

Just to add that when I spoke to Tesla yesterday they said there were still about 1,000 cars in Southampton.

I'm in the same boat and believe that yes they will be looking to deliver the car to you at home. Did you get a text asking to confirm where you wanted it delivered? I'd imagine they'd still want to get these done by next Tuesday for their figures if they can.

New Text just received: Tesla Update: We would like to deliver your Tesla direct to your home location and would kindly ask that you reply to this SMS confirming your full delivery address, including postcode. A Tesla Advisor will then reach out to you to finalise the details. To unsubscribe...

The delivery date has also disappeared from my account page even though I spoke to someone at Birmingham earlier today who said it should still be on for Thursday. He did however advise that the car was still in Southampton so I think that it will be issues with transporters getting them from...

I've paid in full, not sure how they'd cancel that order. Makes no sense, a delay yeah but to cancel and force me to order again with the increased price due to OLEV grant seems absurd.

Where did you get that info from?

Yes well funny that, I've just been reading the bill which has been passed through the House of Commons to be debated in the House of Lords before passing into law. The elements around enforcement and fines mainly seem to be related to gatherings and forcibly closing premises. Premises do...

I'm not saying this makes it right but the law won't be passed through the house of lords until Thursday at the earliest. So it won't actually be illegal to leave your house until after the law passes. From my perspective, collecting a car in a safe and contactless way is way less risky than...

It does take the Mick though, I've literally not left my house for over a week as I was already doing the social distancing to reduce the risk. I'd be pretty comfortable driving in my private car with my wife and doing a contactless handover with Tesla on Thursday. But because a load of idiots...

It's also not going to have legislation passed until later this week so it depends what stance Tesla have on following the rules.

Yeah they want the cars delivered for their quarter figures so I'd expect for them to arrange home delivery. I want them not to wash the car on route though in a random hand car wash place (although they'll probably be shut too).

Well that looks like we won't be doing any of the scheduled pickups this week then.

It's not based on the registration of the vehicle it's based on the order from an individual and Tesla having submitted it on the OLEV system with the government which is normally done a few days after all of the information requested at the time of order is submitted.

Surprised you haven't got final invoice. I'm collecting mine on Thursday too and had the invoice earlier this week. I've been paying it off in daily batches and is now fully paid. I also got my text with the reg just now.

I'm still down to pick up at Birmingham on Thursday. Is yours a direct purchase and cash?

Sat next to one of my favourite cruise ships.

Had my final invoice today. Collection booked for 26th.

Well I'm counting on mine this month for corporation tax write off. I'm not saying I don't think the additional precautions and the safety of the workers should be compromised mind. If it gets worse with infections I perfectly understand a delay.

I see, I think the government do want businesses to continue to operate but with extreme caution. It looks like from some of the posts with collections today, they are doing individual handovers and taking further steps to reduce risks. I've got a collection next week too so this may just be...

Glovis Captain isn't in Belgium anymore, she's anchored near Southampton.

It's down as 20th March AM.

I've also had a text now asking to confirm appointment.

Actually, I've now also received a text asking to confirm appointment.

I've had my email too (no text) collection booked Thursday 26th at Birmingham.

Just had an email from Tesla with a delivery appointment at Birmingham next Thursday 26th. Didn't get a text though.

Hmmm, that makes sense but I've upgraded the alloys now to add even more and it still includes the grant. Are options not counted?

Interestingly if you get a Long Range with options that take you over £50k it still shows as giving you the £3k grant?

Has anyone had it confirmed by Tesla that current orders which have been matched to a car have had the EV grant placed with the government? Panicking that my M3P order may have just gone up by £3,500.

Has anyone confirmed with Tesla that all current orders with assigned VIN's have been registered against the EV grant so we don't end up paying an extra £3,500 for our Tesla's valued at over £50,000? I'm getting slightly nervous that just because my delivery is taking longer than others have...

It's slightly annoying when you've had a car on order and then you tell a mate there's some Tesla model 3's on the inventory last week if he wants to order one. He's picking up next week and I'm still waiting on a text for mine. Why is there this queue jump system whereby you can simply order...

Direct.

Seems everyone was getting delivery texts today but I haven't had one and only just come onto the forum and seen this. Hoping there's still a slot for me to pickup from Birmingham. I ordered M3P on 1st February. Has anyone got that link which sorts delivery if available on my order?

You did well then to place an order and get onto a ship which was already at San Francisco at the time loading up. A lot of orders placed weeks before yours are 2 ships behind.

I'd say you're probably on Glovis Captain too. I ordered on 1st Feb, VIN appeared on 18th Feb, told this morning by Tesla (without any prompting) that my car was on Glovis Captain.

I've also just been told by Tesla that my car is on Glovis Captain, received hidden VIN last Tuesday.

You can't both use the links to order because someone has to have an active order. It's a referral from an existing customer to a new one.

When did you get hidden VIN? Do you know?

That's annoying, I got my VIN last Tuesday too and was hoping that meant it was on the Asian King. Looks like I'll also be on Glovis Captain as well then. Probably end of March for my delivery which is cutting it fine for my Corporation Tax benefit.

What could be going on with Asian King then? Why wouldn't it be transitting through the canal?

I saw this and got in a massive huff as I've also ordered a M3P Red/black on 1st February. Checked earlier for hidden VIN and nothing. Just checked now and I have one. Yay.

True but I've already shortened it to end of March so would mean extending it which is a bit of a faff. Only get one extension as well.

My optimum delivery date is end of March because I'm buying through my business and my financial year end is 31st March. If it arrives before then I can write off the value off the corporation tax from this financial year, otherwise I've got to wait another year to see any benefit on this.

3rd Feb? I ordered my M3P Red with Black Interior on 1st Feb. Hoping that's a good sign.

For newbies like me, what does this mean?
