Yeah there are two holes in the bumper after taking the surround off. The edges of the holes are slightly raised so I carefully flattened them out but didn't full them, I just put the vinyl plate over the top :) You can make them out if you look closely but you'd have to know they were there :)

It's an LR, white on white with 19" sport wheels. It's a company car and the delay was entirely the fault of our fleet management company Kinto, they took 3 months to get my order to Tesla. Once Tesla had the order it progressed pretty quickly. It's from SSDD motorsports, seems to be a copy of...

After ordering my company car on June 8th I'm excited to say it finally arrived yesterday :cool: I have been stockpiling parts since June and haven't wasted much time in starting to fit them with the vinyl plate, carbon splitter and carbon spoiler going on today :) My experience so far suggests...

I would imagine there would be quite some effort involved in rearranging thousands of collections and deliveries so some sort of buffer must be built in to their timing. There may be a few affected but I'd think the majority will be unaffected. Just guessing though, maybe with a little wishful...

Still making good progress behind Viking Ocean. All being well they'll both be in the Atlantic by the morning. Her AIS isn't turned off, just currently out of reach of ground stations.

Mines a company car lease and Kinto missed both July and September delivery windows with my order. If Tesla are saying February, I'd imagine that's what you'll get I'm afraid :(

I also notice both HELIOS RAY and VIKING OCEAN have updated their ETA's to within 3hrs of each other on 20th Nov, or at least that was the case when I last looked 😂

Looks like Helios Ray has crashed :( 😂 😂

I got my delivery text this afternoon - my M3 is aboard Helios Ray which has just reach Suez and is due for delivery to me on 2nd December. If that is similar for everyone you should expect 4 weeks notice I guess?

I just got my delivery text through a few minutes ago :cool: Just replied with my address, now waiting on confirmation :cool: My M3LR is on Helios Ray, due in to Southampton on 19/20th Nov and now scheduled for delivery on 2nd Dec :)

Are you trying to track via ground based stations or satellite? It's probably just out of range.

Good news 👍 My company car order went through Arval, white lr with white interior and 19" wheels. Also ordered on the 26th Sept and currently on board Helios Ray. Tesla have told me delivery is pencilled in on 2nd December but I'm yet to receive any texts other than the initial RN confirmation...

If it makes you feel better I ordered on June 8th and have a provisional delvery date of December 2nd 😂 The delay wasn't with Tesla though, that was all Kinto... It is a company car, so no opportunity to switch providers, just had to continue to hit my bloodied head against the proverbial wall...

My VIN was assigned on 26th and is on Helios Ray. This suggests they are assigned at Singapore, not before.

Already asked, he's not heard anything about it and thinks it unlikely but didn't go as far as to say it was impossible haha

Just been told by my friend at Tesla that my M3LR currently aboard Helios Ray is pencilled in for home delivery on 2nd December but they're still confirming transport availability and schedules hence no official text yet. Thought that might be interesting to a few others who are still awaiting...

Same, Helios Ray

Mine is a company car, RN on 21/09. My friend is my Tesla advisor so I got my VIN and ship name from him the morning after I was matched (26/10) but I've had no texts from Tesla and am still awaiting delivery info. Given the info they gave you I'll contact them if I haven't heard by Tuesday :)

I'm sitting in a dark room staring at a blank phone screen. Any time now...

They just don't like telling people the VIN as it can change. I suspect you've had a car matched and it's on it's way if they're giving you a delivery estimate.

They will be contracted to purchase a certain number of the old batteries. If they havent reached that figure it doesnt make financial sense to invoke a penalty clause and change early. In that situation the obvious thing to do would be to change one product variant over to the new cells first...

Indeed, I imagine at least a big chunk of them will be yeah but it's difficult to second guess Tesla haha

My friend at Tesla has just confirmed my M3LR is aboard the Helios Ray 009-SOU :) White on white with 19" wheels, RN received 21st September. It was VIN matched last night :)

I also received my RN on 21st September and am leasing through Arval as its a company car. Presumably a VIN may have been allocated so its just a waiting game to receive the text message now :)

I was going to ask the same question- can someone check their VIN and feed back?

My Tesla advisor is a friend of mine - I used to work with him and still work with his partner. He told me this afternoon that my M3LR (white on white with 19" sports wheels) ordered on 21st September will now be with me in early December. Realistically only a week or 10 days later than it would...

I had to move my current car on in March, bought a little van as a run around instead while I waited for the M3. Should have been ordered 1st Jan but a series of screw ups has left me carless in October. Hopefully November is the month I get out of the van and back in to a car haha

Out of interest, while 30 days is about right for a direct route to Southampton, are there routes that could take much longer? I'm wondering if what we're seeing here is the last of the Q3 cars, loaded at a similar time to the last main chartered vessel, but loaded on to smaller boats on less...

Well this is exciting :) If I was a gambling man I'd say they've snuck the last of the Q3 cars that they built but couldn't get shipped on any available vessels, and that the next big batch will come in a few weeks later on a chartered ship that will load in the near future. But that is a wild...

Yeah its slightly different. I live down the road from Felixstowe and several friends work there. The problem is a huge backlog of containers, largely empty, has filled the port over the previous weeks and months. They don't physically have space to offload more containers until the backlog...

I got my RN through on 22nd September despite first ordering through my employers fleet management company on 8th June (efficient right?!), White on White M3LR with 19" sport wheels. Just checked and unsurprisingly no VIN yet, the long wait continues but it'll be worth it I'm quite sure :)

I'm quite new to this forum and have only just found this thread, I can tell already its going to be a favourite of mine as I do like to tinker with things 😅 I've ordered an M3LR, white on white with 19" wheels. I've had a skim through and I'm pleased to see SSDD bits seem well thought of as...

This is an incredibly interesting thread despite the 'noise'. Thanks MrMiserable, your shared knowledge is very much appreciated! I'm looking forward to getting a VIN and trying to work out which ship it might be on from information here :)

I had CrossTech Electrical, based in Colchester, install my untethered EO Mini Pro 2 a few weeks back. After the grant it cost me £595 which I felt was quite reasonable. It was a simple installation with the charger less than 2m from my meter. They've done a neat job, I only had to wait a month...

My understanding is it won't show up unless you can access the 'manage' page which is specific to your car. I ordered mine through the company fleet management system and don't have this option so cannot check for VIN assignment in this way.

Exciting. Presumably since my car was ordered for me by my fleet management company I won't be able to see a VIN in my account early as the car isn't tied to it yet, or is that not the case? My LR is due mid to late November so I'm expecting an update in the next few weeks 🙃

Ordered mine on June 8th. Fleet management company cancelled the order, so I ordered again on June 28th. Fleet management company screwed up the second order, so I ordered for a third time on the 16th September. I received an RN a few days later and have been told to expect the car in late...
