Just went back past Southampton Western Docks and the Tesla staging area just by Millbrook station on the train heading west - was able to get a bit more of an eyeball on what's going on there. It looks like they've got around 5 blocks of around 60-80 cars each, all a variety of colours (so...

Just been past Southampton Western Docks on the train and there’s at least a good few hundred Model 3s that I could see sitting in the area right next to Millbrook station that I don’t think were there last week!

I was told by my accountant that there is no benefit in kind if the company pays directly for the electricity at private or public charging spots. If the company reimburses then income tax applies. Check if you need to pay tax for charging an employee’s electric car seems to confirm this.

The pin on Google Maps that says permanently closed is across the road from where the pickup location is. It's about a 20 minute brisk walk from Southampton Central station or about 8 minutes in a taxi. Essentially if you come down West Bay Road, turn left into Imperial Way it's on the corner...

My accountant was the much the same until I asked them to look at the front page of their V5Cs and specifically the first line of the white on red text about proof of ownership... 😂

I did exactly the above. The company owns the Tesla, and I requested Tesla to put both my name and the company name on the V5. They actually phoned me up early last week before I picked the car up and just confirmed that over the phone with them - even though it says name/company in the prepare...

Agreed, this seems to be a US problem. All of those things are present and correct on the M3LR I collected on Thursday.

Collected my LR this afternoon from Southampton Western Docks, walked from the railway station - the security guards at the gate were slightly bemused saying "it's a long way!" (it's about 20 min walk from the station) No-one else there when I picked the car up and were only a couple of cars...

That's just some example instructions to the developers really as to how the code works rather than your actual VIN.

It said 360 miles when I started looking at buying a Model 3 in early August.

The registration number issuance occurs between arranging collection and collecting (obviously). I asked a few days ago and got my registration just under 3 weeks before collection. I think from reading I've seen it as low as a few days though.

Yes, the web page says "Wire transfer must include your RN and be initiated from your personal bank account to the account listed below". So I just put the RN as reference and it all worked fine. (Even though it's a business transaction for me, but still...worked fine from the company account.)

I did notice that if you click the "show details" bit under "Amount Due" it'll show the payments on account as line items under Payments Received. It shows Order Deposit of £100 and my test deposit from earlier today. Not entirely obvious but that seems par for the course for Tesla in the...

26th August for a blue/white LR, with delivery noted for November. It had ticked over the day or two before from September to November.

Had my account switch over to requesting payment last week with the final invoice being raised (collection on 11th from Southampton). Asked SA on Friday by email whether they knew what the registration was going to be which they texted over on Saturday morning. Arranged insurance and now just...

I have that message and have a collection booked. I'm thinking it'll probably change in the next few days.

Turns out I typoed my phone number in the order (but is correct in my profile) and they were sending the texts but I wasn't receiving them. Booked a collection now for the 11th in Southampton :)

Has anyone with a Southampton pick up had a delivery/collection text? I've had the VIN now for just under a week but haven't heard a peep from them about collection... whereas a friend who has ordered near enough the same car has, but they're collecting from Bluewater I think.

No, although I did happen to speak to my SA today who essentially said that the next contact I should expect is when they have an idea of when it's going to land anyway. Business cash purchase, if that makes any difference.

Hello everyone. Ordered an M3LR in blue/white in late August and like others have also been assigned a VIN today!
