I was indecisive on this today, but the live chat appeared when I was logged into Churchill so gave it a go, after spending a few mins to get back to me, they said I could get back in contact when I'm ready to get AB and they'll note it - so I told them to go ahead and do it now. Got stuck on...

I sold my old car to Cazoo before they gave me a lift <1 mile up the road to Thorpe Park to get the Tesla (I was planning to walk, but it was raining and they offered a lift!). Just handed them the V5C and they said they'd deal with everything, no receipt or anything - got a refund on the rest...

Odd - My delivery was moved from Thursday to Monday at the start of the month, and only found out on Saturday afternoon! After then having to figure out how to insure, I went with Churchill and finished on the phone since the reg wasn’t available - they pulled out the quote, and happily accepted...

Yeah I'm getting 10 miles/hour on mine...since I don't use the car daily, might wait a while to bother thinking about installing a 'proper' charger - there's enough superchargers for any potential long route, so if needed I could always leave a bit earlier and get a service station breakfast...

I got two - 3 pin plug+cable, and another cable for when you have to plug in to the charger (tried it at the local Tesco yesterday) - two separate cables, no adapter

take a look at Cazoo too - not sure where you collection is but if it’s Thorpe Park then Cazoo is just down the road - and they even gave me a lift to Thorpe Park after they took the old car off my hands…

Pretty sure that was the cleaning crew that just smeared the number plate at Bluewater ;)

I had that on the two fronts when I got it - I think it’s gone now…will have to try in the morning! Pretty much same experience as you though - everything looked correct, and had the chance to put some leather protector on the white seats today so good interior examination. Enjoy!

I have a feeling a video is being made of the entire process, a massive photo album, and some tiktoks - can't wait to see it all! ;)

that collection tent is way more packed than when I went on Monday (originally Thursday but they let me collect earlier) - sad about the USB ports though, luckily got mine...well the wireless charger works, maybe I should check the usb ports at some point!!

collected on Monday around 1pm, they registered with DVLA around 4pm according to the printout of it they attached to my Tesla account, V5C received this morning (Thursday) so pretty quick! Already had my personalised plates made up, so made the change on DVLA and just waiting for their...

Hah yeah, tried it on Monday evening and it veered to the left...and got paranoid, so tried again in the middle lane...it was just being judgemental about my normal lane position and just adjusted to put me dead centre. Hoping for a quieter day tomorrow/Friday to go out in daylight and try the...

same experience with AXA who I've been for the Audi I got rid of (6 years) and possibly before - their online systems refused to give me a quote, so goodbye to them. Ended up with Churchill in the end (comprehensive plus) as it had the same level of cover when driving in Europe, and was only...

Same experience for me - checked around it quickly then (on Monday) and just did another look today and can't find any problems, even that bit where some have reported it not sprayed/coloured. Maybe reading these forums has made me paranoid! Going to put some Gyeon Q2 LeatherShield on the white...

just having a look around the Tesla Shop - the wheel cap kit is back in stock! probably for the next few hours knowing how quickly stuff sells out also gen3 charger is in stock!

I locked in for 24 months in May as my Scottish Power deal came to an end - luckily with ESB who have assured customers that they don't feel like going under/giving up - 16p for me...at the time the thought of an EV so soon wasn't in my plans - sticking. According to my invoice from the...

...usually not advised to post photos of keys on the internet as it's easy to cut keys from them these days! just saying...

me too - still had to ask for help! at Thorpe Park the lady who did my handover said there might be a detailer cleaning the car when I get there, if so I can still get in and get used to the car until they're done - got there, no-one else in the collection tent (it's massive compared to the...

I considered bluetooth/smart locks when we did the house up, but wasn't 100% confident that it wouldn't be hackable...I guess an alternative is a spare key in the car or maybe just in my wallet since cards are redundant with phones (until it needs to verify you still have the card...)

I'll still be lurking in case there's anything I can answer along the way! I think my top tip so far is...just because you don't need keys, just your phone, to get into the car, don't forget your housekeys before going outside - not caught me out yet, but I know it will!!

Just saw your sig @Oxstock - why not indeed! I turned up for my 2pm at around 12.50pm because I got to Cazoo early, the process was fast, and I took up their offer of a trip 1 mile down the road to Thorpe Park since it was chucking it down outside. Approached the desk - nobody else queueing "my...

Yeah generally connecting to a phone hotspot is clunky - when I got the latest iPad Pro I opted for a cellular version just for pure laziness and to avoid 'hotspot rage' - SIM was £9/month for unlimited data which I think roams too (before the October changes). I believe the Tesla SIM is...

I just got the 'Tesla Update - Congratulations on taking delivery of your Model 3! You have reached the end of your delivery journey..." text. I guess that's a hint that I need to get off this particular thread!!

Not clear! I walked away after triggering the update whilst parked on the drive...then went to lock it just cos I thought it should be locked...then couldn't get in..whenever I tried the handle it just turned the screen on saying an update was happening. In the end took around 45 mins - it just...

I tried to heat the car from the app this morning for fun - 3 mins to 20C but couldn't test if the windows were de-iced cos they had no ice on them! lost a mile, and the car made no attempt to charge...so far I'm seeing that from 'cold' the charge rate per hour is slower, so I guess it makes no...

what I had was enough to get home - but just wanted to boost it a bit since I'm in 'granny charger' mode until I figure out what charger I want!

Got USB ports and wireless charging too so hopefully it’s just a blanket text to cover their backs. Now charging at the Hilton Heathrow supercharger! Had around 35% charge on it when picked up

Thorpe Park! Not been here since I was a child…

Yeah, got here an hour early cos cazoo dropped me off just waiting for paperwork then to the car I go! Only me and one other here…

Just got the USB text whilst getting a cheeky McDs before dropping the car to Cazoo and then getting the M3 - worried for a few seconds that it was a delay text! Will update the usb status once I get the car in 90 mins…glad I charged my phone before leaving

think it’s luck of the draw - only called them cos they called me then hung up...not long to go now for you…18 hours left for me…

Ouch, sorry to hear! I went from 3rd Dec, to 9th Dec then now 6th Dec, so a rollercoaster ride, which is fitting for a Thorpe Park pick up...fingers crossed they don't delay again...might be worth giving them a call in case you get lucky?

I was told earlier in the week it wasn't due at Thorpe Park until 'a couple of days before' my collection - so either the Nabucco deliveries are taking forever, or I got lucky on Hyperion Ray - either way, not fussed...now to get it insured...I've never spent so long on hold in one day!

Got a call from a Maidenhead number...never called Tesla so didn't store it in my phonebook, answered it, they hung up. An hour later, got through, think it was Davide who I spoke to (he's answered a couple of emails)...oh must have been just a courtesy call - confirmed the Thursday collection...

Very useful thread, thanks MrM - I think this explains why I had my collection changed from 3rd Dec to 9th Dec in mid-November - must be on Hyperion Ray and has taken the longer route to get to Southampton due to the Israel cars…fills with a bit more confidence that the 9th Dec date won’t...

seems to me a pre-agreed Tesla wave needs to be in place ;)

Yeah got mine too, currently 9th Dec collection - though did email them to make sure the V5 has my name on instead of my company to make the insurance exercise easier and they said it's not due in Thorpe Park 'a couple of days' before the appointment, but if there's a chance to get it earlier...

I lived in Dartford for 15 years...during December, if I really needed Bluewater I'd go there as soon as it opened on a Saturday morning and out before the hordes descend - so factor that into your escape, as well as the tunnel that will always have problems when you need to use it...so maybe...

Me too, after seeing there's no problem from other people...10am - drop car at Cazoo Chertsey...find a way to get to Thorpe Park on foot...turn up early before the 12 noon slot, hope for no problems, drive away!

thanks - but planning on dropping the current car at Cazoo and then a short walk to thorpe park if I can figure out how to cross the M3... (I think there's walking routes underneath it)

I wonder if our cars are on the same boat - got Thorpe Park on the 9th after they moved me on from the 3rd. Got the number plate yesterday though (not named after any infamous people) - so tempted to drop an email to them just to check if there is a chance of collection being earlier so I get...

did they send you the schedule link to schedule, or did you make the link yourself? I did the latter...and for a few hours it had no delivery date before getting a text to reschedule again (only noticed the no delivery date later on some other tabs after the event...I have too many tabs open)

Oh that's good to know...will have to look into that nearer the end of the week for my 9th Dec collection!

were they able to quote just based on VIN? Davide from the email support said to expect number plate 'within the end of November' but want to follow the MSE guidance of getting it sorted in the next week...will be faffing with the whatever plate I get then swapping for my personalised one...

Just paid the non-financed part of the purchase (after asking loads of Starling Bank questions about fraud...yawn...), got the PDF of the payment from Starling and emailed them...whilst slipping in 'hey, know what my number plate is?'...no response yet but my account showed as paid within around...

Most likely...but makes the logistics of getting rid of the old car easier - didn't realise Cazoo was down the road from Thorpe Park until I booked the original 9am pickup, now gone for later so have a chance of dropping the car off, getting some food, finding my way to Thorpe Park...maybe a...

Just got a text that the window was provided incorrectly...collection now 9th December instead of 3rd December - at least this time armed with knowledge Cazoo is round the corner so could drop the old car there en route. Pfft.

Just checked my account and it’s now on the ‘give us some money’ stage - which means I don’t need to prompt them to shift me over to that stage (after making up the URL to book a collection last night before the elusive text). Given everyone’s experience so far, I’ll wait until the 26th before...

Got that text yesterday morning, and by the evening the link to schedule worked (after seeing everyone got texts and I hadn't) - so look out for this evening around 8.30-9pm and good luck!
