The main problem with the auto wipers is that it relies on having the area where the cameras are to be spotless so I sometimes have to clean that area before I drive so that the wipers behave themselves when they're set to auto.

Thanks, that's really useful information 👍

Oh nice, how does the handling hold up as well? This is a tyre that I want to try but have some doubts over. Offers significant savings over the Michelin tyres and a great option on paper. I'm just worried I'm going to give up the awesome handling from the OEM tyres by going with something else.

Depends on what you need really. I'm in the same position as you and been looking everywhere for what's best. If you don't want to pony up the money for the PS4 T0's then honestly you can put almost any tyre you want as long as they're properly rated for the car. Personally I've been really...

Do you still have these? Been looking around for a set of these.

Does anybody know if Peugeot's insurance cover is actually any good if you need to file a claim? I can't seem to find any reviews for it anywhere. Being quoted £1350 from Peugeot vs £1750 from Churchill lol. Perks of being a young driver :) But yeah I'm shocked at how much it's gone up by even...

The Mrs really wanted black and I wanted blue, we ended up going to black lol.

I've noticed a similar thing in some areas. Quite surprising how many of them are on the road now, made me a bit unsure if I wanted one anymore but there really hasn't been any other car that I've REALLY wanted. Only other car that I think would have considered would have been the Polestar 2 but...

Ah ok, cheers for the heads up. Collecting on the 21st so will probably be sometime during the coming week.

Oh yeah I've had that for a while now but I don't see any option to digitally sign it.

At what point have people received their final invoice? Paid the deposit and even got the registration number but haven't been given a final invoice as of yet.

I just received a text from tesla informing me of the registration plate of the new car :)

Oh god, this will end up being my worst nightmare if anything like this happens. Planning on getting a lift to Southampton then will immediately be taking the car on a long trip. Probably a risky move but my situation is a bit like moodel_tree's where I ordered ages ago and expected to have the...

Is this something you requested or is it something that Tesla offered to you?

Won't know till you try lol

Oh, that's very interesting. I was initially given a date of the 22nd at Brent Cross too but was also given the option to pick up from Southampton a day earlier which is what I opted for. I thought mine was on Grand Ruby too but it seems like it's probably on the same ship as yours.

I don't have any final invoice either even after paying the deposit and I'm collecting on the 21st.

Cheers, this gives me more confidence that my car is most definitely on GRAND RUBY.

Lol and I thought mine was expensive. I've been getting quotes of around £1350 from Admiral who has consistently been the cheapest provider for me; even for my other vehicle. Probably going to go down the multivehicle policy route and get a bit more money off that quote.

I wouldn't think so. The reg is mostly just used to get the right make and model of vehicle you want to insure. It would be pretty daft for them to change the quote if you gave them your reg number.

I mean as long as you get the quote 20 days before collecting you're fine I would think. Quotes are valid for 30 days from most providers AFAIK. I tried calling Admiral to go through with a quote that I got and asked if they can do it with the VIN number but no dice lol. Was just advised that I...

Entered my VIN into this but said there's no information available for it which could indeed suggest my car is on Grand Ruby. If only we could search that ship....

My VIN starts with the same numbers but I'm able to get mine on the 21st from Southampton.

I was told the earliest I can pick up my car was from Southampton Docks on the 21st which is what I've changed to now. Fortunately, it's not much of a detour from the trip I'm planning on making that day anyway so it works out. Only 3 weeks left from today!

I think going off the VIN numbers is bit of a futile process to be honest.

I have also been told that the car that has been allocated to me hasn't even left Shanghai left which would suggest that there might be another carrier bound for the UK. I initialy was given the 22nd as the earliest date I could pick up the car (but had to change it to 29th due for personal...

Just have to wait since they'll end up sending you a text message saying that your car has been allocated then (in my case) get a text message a few days to book the collection date.

I don't think they're sequential. From what I've seen they can only give you an idea up to 2 or 3 different ships that have already left Shanghai.

Lol I was just told that mine wasn't even on a ship yet apparently even though I have a delivery date all booked in now and even sent the deposit to them.

Yeah I was pretty confident that mine is on Grand Ruby since my allocation lines up with when it departed.

Managed to get my delivery booked in for the 29th of September (originally was given a date of 22nd to 24th) but apparently the car is still in Shanghai lol.

Yup, I'll be collecting from Brent Cross

I just got a text message for me to schedule pick-up of the car. Unfortunately, the 3 days they've given me are no good so will need to jump on a call to figure an alternative date.

I'd imagine they're just catching up on the texts. I think a lot of us actually got allocated something on Friday as soon as Grand Ruby left Shanghai.

I just got a text message from Tesla about getting allocated a car about 20 minutes ago 👀

Quite likely, I had mine assigned on the same and it's the ship I've been tracking myself.

I also has my VIN appear at the same time but haven't got a text message yet. Only thing was another email to review my finance.

Good news, a VIN number has finally shown up in the source code on my account page. Mine ends in 329xxx

I've been told that there's a 7-day window to collect the car before they unallocate the car so there is some flexibility since I will also be very busy around that time in September which will make it a bit challenging to collect the car around then.

In the same boat as you, have nothing assigned to me yet even though I put an order in for a Black LR on the same day as you. Everytime I ask them over the phone or on the online chat they just come back with "we're still assigning cars but you're still good for a September delivery".

I've yet to get any delivery date/VIN number thus far. Everytime I ask I just get the same old response :(

That's interesting I was told the same time period but wasn't told it was on a ship.

I also ordered on the same day as you and was told the exact same thing last week but haven't been assigned anything as of yet. Just been on a chat right being advised that it would be a mid to late September delivery. Problem is that I mostly likely can't pick up the car in the last two weeks...

I tried to see if I could get assigned something over the phone but no dice. Just told I'll be contacted a few weeks before collection. Welp.

Lol I'm going to have to give that a go tomorrow

Oh that's interesting, I just checked my own direct debits and can also see this listed.

Yeah I can kinda see that I suppose, but according to whoever I get in contact with say that everthing looks good on their end and there's nothing else I need to do. The approval process for the finance is all automated from what I can tell anyway.

Yeah I'm sure it's not entirely true, but kinda feels like it from what I've been reading! Went down the Tesla Loan route myself but haven't had contact from Tesla since ordering on 10th July.

Seems like you guys who are leasing are getting the delivery dates lol.

If what I've been told is accurate then there's a chance we might get VINs/delivery dates this week but I fully ready to be disappointed!
