I'm really stuck on what to do now. I can't justify the car being "essential" and I'm therefore considering all my options. I can either go and collect the car against government advice, I can seek to delay/reschedule delivery, or I can cancel the order entirely. To be completely honest, I'm...

All non-essential shops to close immediately This article suggests that "garages" stay open - I assume a Tesla Service Center counts as one? If so, then we'd be able to pick up deliveries, but you would have to essentially go against the government controls and head outside for a non-essential...

Guess it depends whether a car service centre is considered “essential” or not, but even so we’d be breaching the guidance by going there to collect it. My gut feeling is that Tesla will arrange home delivery for those of us who are supposed to collect this week. Only thing I can do now is wait...

Yeah I got the same message too, but I'm extremely doubtful that they'll still be open by Wednesday. Fingers crossed that I am wrong, but the news seems to imply stricter measures on our movement and operation of non-essential businesses are imminent.

Are you sure you didn't hit the order button 25 times by mistake??

Can you sign in to an existing Spotify account, or is it considered a 'new' account and you'd have to redo all your playlists etc?

Just received a text message from Tesla confirming my reg number, can't be a coincidence that I received that the morning Glovis Captain docked. My baby is close! :) Thanks Mr M and everybody in here for their expert knowledge and help. It's been the weirdest couple of weeks ever, tracking a...

'Zero prospect' of London lockdown involving movement limits, says No 10 Hopefully eases the concerns of anybody picking up from around London soon

Given that there's been a few people on here told that their cars were left on the dock at Fremont because of overbooking, I'd say it's full.

AM and PM are pretty vague, that could be a 24 hour window or it could be closer to 36 hours. I'd like to think they know what they're doing over there, they've had enough practice by now!

Thanks to everybody who answered my question about when the "existingdeposit" field updates on the account page. I can confirm that it's saying the correct amount now (after approx. 36 hours), and my account page is now also showing my VIN number underneath the RN without having to look for it...

The central number is 0800 756 9960, sometimes it takes forever to get through but they've always been really helpful for me. Just call them and let them know the situation, they should be able to give you some advice.

Couple of questions from me, if anybody has the answers it would be much appreciated! Has anybody who's due to take delivery before the end of March asked Tesla what would happen if the UK goes into lockdown, and the SC you are picking up from closes? Would you just have to wait, or would they...

I'd go with yes on both fronts there. Perhaps there's an outside chance that it was on the Asian King and is 'in the backlog' at Southampton waiting to be transported, but more likely it's on the Captain.

For anybody collecting in the next week or so that haven't received an invoice or reg number yet - I just gave Tesla a call and the helpful guy was able to put the invoice through immediately, and gave me the reg number over the phone

It is indeed! Due in to Southampton 13:00, an hour earlier than I said :)

Southampton still has Glovis Captain down for arrival at 14:00 tomorrow afternoon, I think we can safely say that's not going to happen?

That's a bit extreme, it wasn't the kids fault!

I've not received a final invoice either, due to collect the car next Wednesday. I suppose I'll give them a call tomorrow if I still don't have anything.

I received a text nine days ago to set up my delivery, car confirmed to be on Glovis Captain.

Glovis Captain is heading past Southampton as we speak on the way to Zeebrugge, hopefully she'll be back before long!

Fair enough - I do think that the white looks better, but I opted against it due to practicality, I don't want to be cleaning it every couple of days. Head over heart for once!

How set are you on the white interior? That's going to be the sticking point, it seems like that's a rare feature and the vast majority of inventory stuff is black interior. You're basically relying on a small handful of people cancelling their orders. If you're willing to sacrifice that then...

Come on Glovis Captain, bring my baby home! Looks like Tesla have got things right with delivery timings anyway... if she does come in on 19th March that's still a six day buffer for them to get the car from Southampton to London in time for my slot.

This is good to hear - I assume that your account page shows the whole "we are drafting up your contract" spiel? If so then I'm in the clear too!

This would be very annoying. An extra £75 or so a month on my PCP agreement if the discount isn't honoured, which isn't a deal-breaker for me but would be a massive kick in the teeth.

Am I reading this right, that even though I'm collecting at the end of March, I don't have to pay the luxury car tax for this year as it's 'Year 0' for the car? And then from April onwards it gets scrapped, so I'll never have to pay it?

Any updates on Glovis Captain today? Still chugging along happily, I hope!

It's an indicator but again not certain. For reference, the last six digits of mine looks something like 702XXX, and I'm on Glovis Captain.

I received a text message this afternoon, which linked me to their site to schedule an appointment. I was given a few options between 25-27th March, obviously I picked the earliest possible! :D My Tesla account now confirms the time and date too, so the countdown begins...

That's exactly what I've done, I have a quote saved and on the day I'll just call them with the reg to finalise it

I went with 10am, figured it gets me out of there around lunchtime, so we can stick it on a supercharger somewhere and grab a bite to eat.

Updating mine as I now have a delivery date: 1. Asherwood – 15/01 – Black/Black – Hidden VIN 18/02 2. 94jdh – 09/12 – MSM/White – VIN 22/02, told late March (maybe early April) delivery on Glovis Captain 3. Lupe – 15/11 – Blue/Black – 5th March collection 4. Wayneski – 16/01 - white/black – VIN...

Almost as soon as I finished posting the above, I got my text too! Picked March 25th

Wow, fingers crossed I get mine soon then as I got my VIN around the same time!

I've also been told end of March delivery to Heathrow. Based on when I got my VIN (Feb 19th), I am still holding out hope that it might be on the Asian King... Tesla won't tell me which ship for certain. But worst case I'm also waiting on Glovis Captain and will see you both there :D

Has anybody been told for a fact by Tesla that their car is on ASIAN KING? I don't recall seeing anybody saying that yet, everybody believes they are either on MORNING CARA, BROOKLANDS or the last chance saloon GLOVIS CAPTAIN.

They just need to pay for the £1,500 Acceleration Boost software update, and they'll be fine.

Plenty of M3P's in existing inventory today with similar VIN's to mine - giving me hope that I might get a delivery date soon!

Mr M - is there still a chance that GLOVIS CAPTAIN will be heading direct to Southampton? I remember some rumours that either that one or ASIAN KING might have been coming direct, just wondering if that's still a possibility.

The Glovis Captain hasn't even made it to the Panama Canal yet surely?

Great research! Regarding FSD, I'm almost certain that's something they can easily switch on and off pre-delivery - it's all software right? And IIRC you can have it enabled at any point on an existing car if you want to pay the money, but somebody might correct me on that...

My hidden VIN appeared 19/02, based on what other people have said should I assume that my M3P is on the Glovis Captain?

I got my hidden VIN 19/02, just called Tesla and they confirmed that the car is built, it 'is waiting to be shipped over' and delivery should be end of March. I had originally thought it to be on the ASIAN KING when the VIN appeared, but I guess worst case scenario it's not actually on that one...

You can add me to this list too... 1. Asherwood – 15/01 – Black/Black – No VIN 2. 94jdh – 09/12 – MSM/Black – No VIN, told March delivery 3. Lupe – 15/11 – Blue/Black – Est.March 4. Wayneski – 16/01 - ??/?? – VIN before end Jan, told on the Challenge 5. Mtomas – 23/01 - ??/?? – VIN, told end...

5YJ is the manufacturer ID for Tesla, and 3 is the model number. Every Model 3 car they make starts with that.

Any updates on ASIAN KING? I assume it's still on the way to the Panama Canal. Any indication of when we will know if it's heading directly to Southampton or not?

I applied for finance with Black Horse 09/02/2020, and it said on the application that I should hear back within four hours. Nothing came in, I assumed it was because I applied on a Sunday, so I ended up calling Tesla on Tuesday 11/02/2020 and the nice person confirmed that the application had...

Interesting that some people who received their VIN in the past week are being told their cars are in Belgium - I thought that you get matched as the boat leaves SF?

Yeah I was really surprised, based on other people on here I wasn't expecting a VIN until at least the end of February.
