There's a rumour that China are exporting some M3 to France even though Elon said they wouldn't be, not sure if they are planning on RHD or not. I wonder if these will be by ship?

Excellent, glad you got this sorted out. Enjoy the car !

Wouldn't worry about it. Yes mine was damaged on arrival today, looks like it was driven into something on its journey over here, but it's already booked into service in a few weeks. Apart from that everything else is perfect. I spent a few hours going over the paintwork and interior and...

Not sure, trying to book a service in the app but it keeps failing. The system must be overwhelmed with service calls...

Mine Came from Stockport

Well after 3 months of waiting the car arrived this morning, all good apart from two impact points on the front bumper which the SC pointed out to the driver and he pointed them out to me straight away. Nothing else inside or outside though. Happy days.

I had mine dropped off from Stockport this morning, the guy said he has four others to do today.

Mines due for delivery tomorrow, excited and nervous at the same time :D

They will probably carry out a thorough PDI at the SC before arranging a local flatbed to pick it up and drop it off with you. (When I mean PDI, I mean the standard Tesla PDI, which seems to consist of one check box - Does it switch on and drive? ✔ )

The SMS I got the other day from Tesla says "An SMS with a tracking link will be shared once your car is collected by our carrier and is on the way to your address" I assume they will collect it on the day so I don't expect to receive one before delivery day.

Thursday delivery for me as well. Never had a single email, call or SMS from them until the delivery date was set, now I get an SMS every day. Got the Reg number txt this afternoon.

@OneTinyFish Thursday 24th - getting the daily SMS off them now confirming Thursday. Still waiting for the reg no though.

A smart charge point is basically one that the provider can theoretically connect to remotely to throttle down the charge rate to help to load balance the grid at peak times. No providers actually do this at the moment, but the government only provide a grant for installing equipment that can be...

Best to use an endurance SD card which are designed for dashcams and their constant writing. Don't buy cheap USB sticks, they will fail within a few weeks.

Yeah, I've got the extreme SD and the wheel cap kit waiting here, will see how the centre console goes before deciding whether to order any sort of cover. The cup holder inserts sound like a good idea though.

Thanks Mr M for your daily updates, you do a fantastic job for all of us boat watchers, it is very much appreciated by all of us, so thank you. My LR is due to be delivered next week, I've had many new cars over the years, but I've never been this excited before :D

After 3 months of waiting, I finally have a delivery date of the 24th! So I've got a week to buy a few more accessories :D

Some progress at last, confirmation that it is being delivered directly to me, but no dates or reg number yet. There is a separate team that handles deliveries and they will make contact by SMS 5 working days before delivery. Looking like their original estimate of the "end of September" is...

No it's a blip, read my response above as to reason for the current higher than normal cost.

RN is Teslas Reservation Number, basically their order reference.

I believe it to be temporary, there are a few nuclear reactors down for maintenance at the moment and combined with low wind is pushing up the wholesale prices. Also, the cost of gas is increasing at the moment, which it historically does at this time of year anyway. It has also been warm, which...

Either Stockport collection or delivery. Tesla delivery can't tell me when or how at the moment.

Anybody still waiting for a date? My car was on the Platinum Ray but they still cannot give me any delivery dates.

Platinum Ray is now back in range of the land based AIS after going dark while crossing the Atlantic. It's just South of Ireland. MarineTraffic: Global Ship Tracking Intelligence | AIS Marine Traffic

Excellent, Thank you MM. It was just wishful thinking the Platinum Ray would this far across the Atlantic after a few days, turns out it is actually closer than I hoped it would be!

It will most likely depend on how busy your local service centre is and also the physical distribution of getting batches of vehicles from Southampton all around the UK.

Me, on the Platinum Ray and still being told "end of September".

I've had a 7Kw tethered for almost 12 months, it was installed free so not sure of the pricing. Works just fine with the MG, though I'm still waiting for my M3 so cannot comment on this. The app is a bit basic but it does the job.

Where are you collecting from? Not sure if I'm collecting mine or if it's being delivered. Nobody can tell me.

I'd imagine it would be on one of the three above, possibly the Platinum Ray as this was the last to leave the US.

It's not the biggest of sites, I wonder where they are storing them all!

I'm business leasing it, so I've no idea whether it will be delivered, either driven or flatbed, or if I have to collect it.

Not sure if it's being delivered or of I have to pick it up. I'm happy either way. Stockport is my nearest SC.

Mine is on the Platinum Ray, I have a VIN but have been told "the end of September". I guess the distribution / transportation and SCs are pretty well stretched to capacity this month. Not sure if they could fit another shipment in...

Exactly this, they rely on people just auto renewing. Every year the renewal quote is far higher for existing customers that's why you need to shop around each year. For the past 10 - 15 years or so, I've flipped backwards and forwards between insurance companies, mainly LV and DL.New customer...

Yup, I think it's heading to another pier, looking at old satellite images the pier next to I78 has loads of vehicles parked up, my guess is it's heading over there to load up.

Already got my wheel cap kit on order, will probably arrive before the car.

3rd party lease, so it's being delivered to me.

Just been told mine is on the Platinum Ray from Newark, due "before the end of September"

Same for me, I got a VIN off them when I called on Friday, but even today there is no info as to where the car is. They are still saying end of September though which is pushing it if it's not on a ship already, unless it's coming from the east coast.

Me too, a couple of my spec cars on inventory today. Contacted them this morning, still have no confirmed dates or anything apart from a VIN. Expected delivery is the end of September.

There have been a few on inventory for a few days, probably matched to one of those. LR are few are far between at the moment.

Possibly, though many people are getting delivery dates for the end of September already. If it doesn't arrive by the end of September then you may have to wait until Late October / November. I ordered in June and was originally told August, which then moved to "possibly September", I now have...

You sometimes get a chat bubble at the bottom of the page, it does seem to appear and disappear randomly though.

Yup, same spec as you. This was from the online chat, the only info they had was a VIN number, no dates or ship listed. I'll try again next week.

After almost 3 months and numerous phone calls and chats, I've finally been given a VIN, but that's all, no dates or even a ship name. I assume that the car hasn't been loaded onto a ship yet, otherwise they must know where it is surely??

Calling the delivery line can be a bit hit and miss depending on who you get. Some are blunt and to the point, "no match, you'll have to wait." Where others are more personable, "There are quite ships coming over, I expect you to be matched soon, also keep an eye on the inventory in case a...

You don't hear anything at all until you've been allocated a vehicle. I've been waiting nearly 3 months now for a LR.

35 SR+ and P's on inventory at the moment, no LR though. Do they make the three different models in batches and ship them over? Hopefully, RCC Asia has a shed load of LR's onboard.

Someone on the Facebook page has posted that his has wireless and USB C in the rear. Picked his up this morning.
