It definitely appears to be a Tesla problem and not a general EV problem.

I was £540 a year for an AMG A45S, when we got the delivery date for the MYP we looked at insurance costs for both myself and my partner. She was getting daft quotes of around £1800 for the Tesla but could insure the AMG for £650 so we went that way. It cost me £80 to swap to the Tesla for the...

I am only 9days into my ownership of my MYP however it does offer some significant benefits in terms of usability over our previous M3P. The usable space is much better and despite concerns over the ride I think it’s better than the previous M3 but it doesnt corner as well which is to be...

I picked my MYP up from Glasgow on Monday, it arrived with them last Wednesday so definitely not from the recent vessel arrival in Southampton, while I was there I spoke to them and they did confirm they had a shipment of Model Y by truck from Belfast so that will have arrived via an...

Had an interesting chat with Tesla today when chasing up my deposit allocation in advance of collection on the 14th. I have always been told my car would be arriving at Glasgow on the 9th August but the 14th was the first day I could actually manage to travel down to Glasgow to collect. Knowing...

I thought the Tesla system worked a little different for voluntary termination. Normally it is 50% of all remaining payments but when the going is good it does appear that Tesla factor current vehicle value in to the calculation in a similar way to handing back a salary sacrifice lease if you...

I have confirmed delivery for 14th Aug based on arriving at Tesla Glasgow on the 10th so would fit with Clovis Courage timing. If that turns out to be the case will be both of my Tesla’s arrived in the UK on the same vessel.

They are not making RHD model 3’s at the moment. All cars in production in China are Model Y until the new model starts production. As said we will hear about the new model rolling off the production line well before it hits a boat.

Interestingly I have been given a collection date but have no official vin currently. Have a hidden vin which is different to the one I got previously. Was offered any day after 9th Aug but the first date I can do is the 14th

This is what I had on 22nd June

Correct 👍

Try ordering a Porsche Taycan!!! 😂

I was officially given a VIN, presented with the Tesla vision disclaimer and sent my invoice for lease deposit payment. Then overnight it was all withdrawn and back to just the RN Number.

Indeed, will have to see what happens, I’m interested to see if the VIN I ultimately get is the same one I was previously given.

Yep same here

If you have ordered a Model 3 I think the info from Tesla will be correct, they are not in production in China yet. it is highly likely that Crystal Ray is on its way to the UK but it will be full of Model Y's. Myself and some others have EDD's and were temporarily assigned VIN's (until they...

I had a phone call on Tuesday stating that there were no cars of my specification available currently and would I be interested in changing to a different specification which they have available. When I said no rather bluntly he was a bit taken aback, I wonder how many people do go for that just...

Excellent news, what spec did you go for?

I guess it’s relatively new territory for Tesla spanning a quarter, they seem to make such a big deal about it. But yes mine is the same VIN has gone as have payment details etc

Got my UK VIN assigned last night with EDD updated to 08-23rd July so definitely looks like we are seeing vehicles in transit over the end of a quarter for the first time. Hopefully Crystal Ray turns out to be the one, looks about right from the dates.

Same with me, changed to those dates in the last 30 minutes.

I think the delivery dates will be based on ordered specification rather than reserve list. Some specs will be less common than others in both orders and in manufacture, when that guessing game doesn’t align some people wait ages while others get rapid delivery. It’s all part of the Tesla...

I was wondering the same. When I got my M3P the VIN was allocated while the vessel was still in Asia. It’s an annoying waiting game at the moment.

Yep same here, date has now narrowed to 28-30 June but no vin or hidden vin. MYP Black with white interior.

If Tesla couldn’t tell you what had been done then I would say it’s safe to assume nothing has been done with Tesla, that doesn’t mean it didn’t go to an independent garage but given age and mileage I would think that very unlikely. As others have said tyre rotation is very much personal...

My EDD has just been updated to be 25th to 30th June so Grande Torino is looking like a likely candidate. Do you know the usual location of the vessel when VIN's are assigned, a few years ago when I got my M3P it was on the approach to Suez but not sure if that is still the case as many people...

Tesla definitely ship cars they have available, if they have more Performance models than LR or standard range coming off the line then that is what they ship and may mean people who ordered yesterday get a car but someone who ordered a LR months ago does not. There is not much rhyme or reason...

I ordered a MYP on 21st April and my delivery date still shows TBD and no VIN assigned. Have ordered black with white interior.

Just to add my own findings to this discussion. Although you are getting the car from your company you are actually paying for it out of your own pocket and therefore you should state the car as a lease and not a company car. You cannot claim to be the owner or registered keeper as many have...

I hope that one ends up with my as yet unasigned MYP on it!!!

What have you ordered? Seems odd that they haven't had stock of any configuration in over 6 months, lease companies can be a nightmare sometimes, they are just not proactive enough and if you find a stock car they don't react quick enough to reserve it.

Did you ever contact your insurer to chase this along? All of your replies state you are going to do that but you only ever mention the conversations with Enterprise. I doubt you will have any leg to stand on with your lease company, in fact all speaking to them will do is likely make them pay...

Does anyone expecting a June delivery to mainland UK not have a VIN yet? I ordered in April based on a May-June delivery, all pre delivery tasks are completed but have got nothing so far, delivery date is still TBC and no hidden VIN details. I see from @Mr Miserable recent post that all...

Morning all. Have a MYP Black with white interior on order and currently delivery TBC with no VIN assigned. Estimate at time of order on 21st April was May-June but currently no further details. Just wondered if anyone else was waiting on similar spec?

We had the same when we got our M3P back in 2021. Our employer would only accept delivery up to the 15th of a month due to Tusker payment dates. Sounded odd to us at the time but based on the way Tesla did it back then we had to accept delivery on 21st June otherwise it would have been...

I have just ordered a MYP coming from a 21 M3P so I am keen to see what the new set up is like. Thankfully I reverse park all the time so rarely need the front sensors, hopefully they will be functional before I need them! The removal of USS does seem a little premature but I didn’t feel the...

Just placed my order for a MYP and asked for delivery hold until Mid June, I was told it will need to be delivered by month end so it’s within this quarter. Really looking forward to it, have been without the M3P for a few months now and I miss it.

Ah ha, that is true but as I’m now looking at changing to a MYP I find myself back here and was just delighted to see Mr Miserable is still keeping everyone up to speed with shipping. We always charged to 85% and run the car until 20% before recharging except in winter. We were usually getting...

I am wondering the same thing. It’s time to replace our M3P in June so looking at ordering now to minimise a gap but I don’t want the car delivered next week, June would suit me fine. Looking for a MYP in Black with White interior. Two demonstrators with that spec but no new stock so assume they...

Keen to see how this looks. I have got used to the wood now but I would love some carbon fibre on the interior.

I attended a lecture at bath uni a few years back on the subject of renewables and nuclear pricing versus gas for power generation. Nuclear is as near as you can get to free at the point of generation yet the up front capital expenditure is 10 times that of a gas power station. Add onto that...

Oh yes, everything’s an option!! Have only ever experienced them on my old bosses Cayenne Turbo, but a Taycan I saw in the showroom had them too, as did the Taycan at goodwood. At least it’s available and it will solve the lack of usage problem, usually cost about £3k so expensive for good looks...

They could solve this very easily by using the same technology as Porsche Surface Coated Brakes, they don’t pick up any corrosion and always look brand new whether you use them or not, the downside is there is only about 0.5mm of wear allowed on the disks but they are that hard it takes a while...

I don’t have access to the battery temperature. I only have Teslafi and that doesn’t seem to record battery temp plus the refresh rate of data rarely picks up full throttle, I have only clocked over 400kw once on the data logger.

I certainly will, have nothing to hide, if its terrible i will let you know but so far as low as 6 degrees it has been fine. Not conclusive by any means but not as bad as feared.

Ran my 2021 M3P battery all the way down last weekend, no noticeable change in performance at all until 18% SoC where it does drop off a cliff but that was obviously software limited as it just flicked like a switch. Its obviously fair weather just now so not the time where we expect problems...

Same here, got the 2021 maps this morning, no noticeable differences yet but have a few miles ahead over the next week or so to give it a try out

Normally you cannot put standard PPF which is fixed with slip and fix solution over ceramic coating because the surface isnt sufficiently pours for the solution to fix the film, but am i right in thinking that the Tesla kit is just self adhesive clear vinyl rather than proper PPF film? In this...

One thing to note here is that if they make tesla the original owner then its technically pre registered, that has two impacts. 1. The car is no longer subject to VAT as its not new, not sure if you are a business buyer but that could be a big deal, as a personal sale it would normally equate...

Thanks for this, gives me something to read before new cars start working their way from around the world towards Europe. I have been on the back deck of Mighty Servant 1, she’s an impressive ship.
