Sorry to see in this thread (revisiting after a few weeks) that Peugeot Insurance are no longer doing Teslas. I insured with them in December, and the unthinkable has just happened - someone has scraped the offside front corner of my car while it was parked and unattended in my own driveway...

My Model 3 (collected on Friday) won't charge my Z Flip 3 in any orientation, folded or unfolded. However, a standard sized matchbox, which I have covered neatly in sticky-backed flock/velvet from Amazon, has solved this. The folded phone sits on top of it quite securely, and charges perfectly...

No issues, had USB and wireless charging, looks like latest software, no rear seat heating yet but will come via software upgrade.

Mine (collecting tomorrow) is M, i.e. 2021.

How soon after delivery do we get the V5C?

I ordered back in October, and am picking up finally on Friday this week. Before I check out of this channel, a very big thank you to @Mr Miserable for all the effort you put in on this thread. Thanks to you, I have thoroughly enjoyed obsessively tracking Nabucco’s journey from Singapore (VIN in...

She will if you don’t let her in the car…

Texts say: Yellow Lower Plaza car park

I was offered morning of the 8th as a slot, so it will definitely be there when you go, but I think arriving there earlier than yours.

I wasn't - first reschedule message I have received.

Just had the "available earlier than expected" text - from original collection on 11 Dec I have been offered 8, 9, 10. Can't make 8 or 9, but now booked in on Friday 10th at 4pm if any forum members are around?

It was posted as current - someone who has just checked into the Queen Mary, posted around an hour before I shared it here.

Posted on Facebook - view from the Queen Mary, docked in Southampton. Nabucco load?

I’m 11th at Bluewater, 9th was the earliest date they offered me, and they confirmed mine had come in on Nabucco, so yours could well have been still.

You have a kid/dog?

Just got confirmation that my car, due for collection on 11 December (and I was offered dates to 13 December) was on Nabucco as I suspected. So there can be an interval of more than two weeks from arrival at port to collection - think someone had earlier said they thought it was always less than...

Just spoke to CS. Confirmation on mine that it was on Nabucco, docked this morning, for collection on 11 December at Bluewater which is still on schedule. (That is good given how obsessively I've been tracking that ship.) Also confirmation that I have, as I suspected, the unicorn - extended...

I would imagine that's already on shore for that date - probably one of the two that docked a few days ago.

Definitely not now obsessively watching this update...

Adapter ordered, already have a compatible OBDII bluetooth thingy, and will install scanmytesla. Adapter comes next week, pickup 11 December, will share results in the Collection/Delivery channel.

You probably couldn't - they don't build to order, they build multiples of a finite number of combinations, and allocate post-manufacture.

He’d get far fewer if he just told us what we wanted to know … all of which he has easy access to.

Tried that - Ben wouldn’t tell me…

But the real winners, of course, are those of us who (are assuming that they) have their shiny new Teslas coming on Nabucco. :)

I am Bluewater 2 days earlier and have heard nothing. It's all very strange indeed ... and more than a little bit random it seems.

Thanks for this - interesting update. My delivery date is 11 December at Bluewater, and I have been assuming (and obsessively tracking!) Nabucco as a result. Let's see if I hear anything on Friday...

Guess a ship and track it, it's better than twiddling your thumbs. I'm assuming mine is on Nabucco from the date the VIN appeared, but chances are I'll never know for sure.

That's what he said. :)

Interesting - just checking with Tesla on the phone about whether Tesla Financial Services or I would be the registered keeper (I'm leasing through them - and the answer is they will be, which restricts where I can get gap insurance quotes). Ben wouldn't tell me the vessel, though it's one of...

I plumped for Bluewater. None was particularly convenient. I think Brent Cross may have been offered, glad I didn't go for that now it's been shifted to Thorpe Park (IIRC). We shall have to try to avoid accidentally getting into our identical cars in the same county...

It was a confirmation SMS for the slot I had selected using the URL trick. So nothing changing, but the SMS then gave me 24 hours to confirm that slot was OK otherwise I would lose it. So no, the date wasn't changed by having cheated the system.

Delivery text just received - eight days after I booked delivery using the schedule URL (a back door that sounds like it might have been closed now). Simultaneously, received a response to an email I sent them nine days ago chasing for a delivery date as I have a car to sell. So looks like those...

One of the Emmas is a bit ... how shall I put it ... terse. But it's not a rude bot.

They build to data though, as I know you know - so while not exactly to order, the mix there to a large degree reflects the mix in previous purchases, and they are trying to second guess demand from that. So still interesting to speculate on. Anyway, not much else to do while I check for a reg...

Yes, I was looking at that too. I know most of the M3s I see on the road are white. Not sure a grand on a 40+ grand car makes a massive difference - maybe lots of people like white? Odd...

The impression I get from other posts is that the lease companies (eventually) order the cars on demand. I can’t imagine any individual lease company has enough Tesla demand to pre-order, given the number of combinations possible.

I have an A in the relevant position in my VIN, which I think makes my car a unicorn? Do I need a horn on the bonnet or something?

No, it’s not that, but thanks. UK is not one hour off from UTC at the moment. I agree the times in the link are declared as UTC (Z suffix with no offset), but they are just wrong. My pickup is 10.30 GMT which is 10.30 UTC, link says 9.30 UTC.

Anyone else noticed a one hour discrepancy on the delivery appointment? Mine is 10.30 on 11 December, but if I follow the add to calendar link to add to my Google calendar, it comes up as 9.30. Maybe they’ll let me get it an hour early… :D

I've just refreshed my quotes now I have a delivery date. Peugeot still miles ahead - roughly like for like cover, DirectLine £725 to Peugeot's £309.

They didn't think much of my SL500... (the Anti-Tesla...)

Did you email them proof of payment? Think the website says you should. I did, and it reflected within an hour.

Bugger… why did you have to do that?

I wasn’t even offered 9th when I did the same yesterday afternoon. (Same car, same boat.)

Work out who you want to insure the Tesla with, then insure the temp car with them. Finally, change the car on the policy to the Tesla when it comes. Does that work? You might pay an admin fee to change the car.

Have you tried the scheduling link referred to earlier? Same for me - no delivery SMS, VIN 2 November and assumed on Nabucco, but was able to schedule delivery using the link. https://tesla.com/en_GB/schedule/RNxxxxxxxxx

Yes, week earlier than me. But pretty sure your spec matches one of the ones that popped up briefly in the inventory on the website, so perhaps it is a reallocated vehicle from an earlier ship than mine (Nabucco). Anyway, enjoy!

Used that link, all booked in for 11 December. Still no text notifications though.
