I'm fairly sure that you need to have taken delivery of a Model Y and have it in your account before purchase is enabled. Read it somewhere on this forum. Suggest attempting again after delivery.

I am collecting next week from Bluewater with reg plate GL. Presumably there will be a range of letter prefixes from Bluewater?

Going via the comparison website confused.com worked cheapest for me with Admiral insurance. Many insurers are still not recognising the Model Y even with collections starting today!

Having researched GAP insurance prior to the delivery of my Model Y I came across ALA insurance who seem to be well reviewed. They were quoting £385 for 3 year GAP insurance. If anyone on this forum has real world experience with them it would be good to know. GAP Insurance | GAP Insurance...

Plus factor in the potential increase in insurance premiums as PPF is considered a car modification! Some insurers may even decline insurance

I'm yet to break the new of a potential lack of a parcel shelf on a £55K+ car to the better half. She may go nuts on collection day 😳

Octopus are apparently not installing smart meters at present. I rang them this afternoon to enquire about switching from British Gas (SVR tariff) to October Go. Apparently it is a no go as I do not have a smart meter and they are currently not installing due to financial cut backs. They...

Hi Ethernat. My understanding is that the pre delivery number plates won't be linked to the DVLA database at the time of issue preventing auto population of the car details on Insurer's databases. Cars are not normally registered with the DVLA until 24-48 hours before delivery. However, as you...

Agree. I just sold my 12 year old Audi Q5 last week via Motorway and could not fault the experience. Offered £1.7K more than Tesla trade-in and £1K more than WBAC. The WBAC experience was disappointing with an inflated internet quote to draw customers in followed by excessive reductions for...

Your hunch is correct! Direct Line group have gone live with MY quotes now.

I failed to respond to the 19th Feb pick up invitation. When I called Tesla CS I was advised similar to you with a reallocated car for March collection. Yet when the invitation expired I was sent an SMS within 48 hours and booked collection for 26th February. P.S. You should be able to get an...

I would suggest that anyone taking delivery of a MY this month gets a quote "in the bag" from a comparison site (Admiral Insurance via confused.com worked best for me). Although more insurers may go live in the next couple of weeks, premiums are likely to get inflated by the short timescale to...

Got the same SMS. I am another 19th Southampton non-responder. Car booked for collection at Bluewater. :)

How frustrating! Not a good example of Tesla customer service and hope they apologised. I also received a text (last Friday) for the 19th Feb MY event. I never replied as I had no chance of going due to work and had assumed that the assigned MY got unmatched. My only confusion is that I still...

I've found quotes via confused.com to work out the cheapest amongst the comparison websites. Admiral insurance are working best for me. I spoke to LV this week, who are currently not quoting for the MY, as I am currently insured with them. Their technical team advised to check next week as there...

Hi. This is a Google Chrome extension which can be downloaded. It's been really useful for me. Was notified today that I had lost my VIN (didn't respond to the Southampton 19th Event MY collection deadline from yesterday) followed by a ping to be notified of a new VIN being assigned to my order.

I've just been assigned a VIN for my day 1 MY reservation in white and 20" induction wheels! 😀 I wonder if others waiting have been assigned this afternoon. Found out through the Tesla VIN finder chrome extension which notified me which I would highly recommend. I now have a car to get on with...

Indeed and only via comparison sites for myself, not directly via their websites.

Yes, how odd. I've attempted the direct approach via the Admiral website and MY not showing as an option. So that issue isn't just affecting you BenjiG! Yet I can get an Admiral quote via a couple of comparison sites

I am expecting mud flaps to be fitted on to the Model Y's at delivery. It is country specific and most Northern European countries have had them fitted to the MYs at delivery from what I have read. My thought is to hold off ordering floor mats and mud flaps and see what comes with the car...

I'm still able to get updated quotes from compare the market this morning. Have you attempted going to Admiral Insurance directly on their website? Worth bypassing the comparison sites to help troubleshoot the issue. They seem to be providing the most competitive quotes at present. That may...

I've noted that not all comparison websites are quoting for the Model Y yet. Confused.com have it in their database but not pulling quotes unlike Moneysupermarket

Yes. A couple of comparison sites went live today for the Model Y and I managed to get a quote from Admiral Insurance. I've started a separate thread today for MY insurance

Yes they did provide a quote. It just wasn't competitive and about 1K less than the likes of WBAC and MotorWay.

Hi. I finally received my trade in valuation today after a 17 day wait after emailing the Tesla Delivery team. Wasn't worth the wait although it was admittedly for a 12 year old Audi Q5. Will now go down an alternative route to sell the car and have removed trade in from the pre-delivery tasks...

Sounds like you need to see a urologist! 😂 In all seriousness, you should be able to set a charge limit so you don't go above your desired amount of charge. Info on how to do this is readily available online.

"Soon" was the message I got from Web Chat regarding partner insurance.. They weren't aware that other insurance providers had gone live this morning regarding Model Y insurance quotes. They have been beaten to it by non-partner insurance companies it would seem

Also a NO from me. Whilst I am one to drive within the speed limit and safely, the concept of driving a Tesla with a device that monitors and ultimately discourages acceleration seems pointless. The reverse of paying for acceleration boost!

You need to go to the main Tesla UK website and hover your cursor around a very expensive car! Most of the time a chat icon appears in the bottom right of the screen. Doesn't work on your order page. Clearly, Tesla Web Chat is focused on generating sales rather than customer service!

I've been waiting 16 days now for a trade in valuation now! Had a Web Chat yesterday regarding this. Apparently Tesla are inundated with trade in requests and have quite a backlog. They said that they would try and get the team to look at my valuation soon...

Just got off a web chat with Tesla raising these questions. -Alarm and immobilizer - Not Thatcham approved -Tracking - Yes (sim card based) However, I am sure I read on another thread that some of us were obtaining quotes for other models stating Thatcham Approved Alarm and Immobilizer!

Interesting. You've gone for Admiral LittleBox which requires black box telematics. That reduces my quote by around £200 but I was really unsure of going down that route. Might up my voluntary excess to bring the quote down.

The best quote I can get is via Admiral Insurance for £930 including £200 voluntary excess on top of £500 compulsory (living in Greater London, 9 years NCB, No points, Male in 40s).

Tesla Model Y insurance quotes appear to have gone live this morning! I've created this thread as I suspect there are a lot of us looking to get quotes ASAP before taking delivery of our new cars. Comparison sites Compare The Market and Money Supermarket are providing quotes.

Thank you for posting this. Been waiting for the Model Y to start appearing on insurance comparison sites. Interestingly, I was unable to get a quote just now but got the dreaded message below! I'm in my 40s, have 9+ years NCB and no points on my license so would like to think it isn't myself...

I'm stuck at the trade in valuation stage too. Have a feeling that Tesla are prioritising the customer trade ins from the first shipment and will move onto the next lot soon. They did reassure me that the wait for a valuation won't affect my position in the allocation of my Model Y. Having said...

My order page is showing up ok. Perhaps you've been refreshing the screen too often! 😂

I would suggest getting a home charger install booked now. Bookings are now into March for several installers and the grant scheme ends for home owners with off street parking on 31st March!

Good new! The Tesla Model Y has now been added to the OLEV eligibility list for the Home Charger Grant! Just waiting for my trade in request from 2 weeks ago now...

Indeed. You are not alone! In the same boat waiting 9 days now. Tesla chat from last Friday seemed to suggest a response by the end of this week.

Thanks for the info. I can see a few cars have been added including the Mercedes AMG EQS 53 which is likely to arrive in the UK after the Tesla Model Y. Hopefully there be another update soon with the Model Y

I've just come off a webchat with Tesla regarding a Model Y order. My query was related to the likely timescale for a trade in valuation to be completed for an old Q5, which I requested last Saturday. They are expecting it could take another 7 days from their end due to the volume of trade in...

I've had a reply today. OZEV are claiming that Tesla have still not applied to add the Model Y to the Homecharge Scheme. Does anyone have a contact at Tesla to exert some pressure to get this done?

Good idea. I have just done the same and emailed OZEV. It would be illogical to have Model Y's delivered from some point in February but not on the list to qualify for the EV charger grant.

Hi. I'm new on this forum and have similarly placed an order for a Model Y in the UK (evening of Day 1). Thank you for your post as I may similarly get an update from Tesla which I will now anticipate. Heard nothing so far! Will be following this forum with interest...
