Yes and no.. It is just software. I guess if you think about Europe, there are certain ways different people drive. Like in France, and the right of way with roundabouts. Or the craziness of driving in Italy where zebra crossings are taken under advisement by motorists. One thing that would be...

Yeah, you are quite right. A lot of EV manufacturers use the engine bay for a slew of systems, essentially taking away space that could be used for luggage as a froot / frunk. I guess you also didn't mention the processes and technologies that go into the automated production line, and the...

Don't get me wrong. I'm on the same boat as you, first EV and it's a MY. Vendor locking is a strategy most companies use to stifle churn, but I guess Tesla see it as an opportunity to make more money at the expense of removing exclusivity. I think this has a huge risk of pissing off its...

That's the thing, Tesla most likely will not have a better product than the competition. The competition is catching up and quickly. Their only unique selling points (USP) are the Supercharger network, the promise of the best FSD, and the battery tech. The network will be opened up to non-Tesla...

Well here's hoping that it's brought forward. Although I have planned everything around the 25th. I guess I could change certain things. No changing the installation of my Hypervolt charger on the 23rd though.

It is. Mine is, and I have same date as yours. Also a BMW fan, I own a 520d.

Sleep well my friend, sleep well. :)

I was told the same thing, but I'm picking up 25th March from Bluewater. Weird.

That is incredibly fast. PCP?

MYLR 0-60mph... stock: 4.8s with perf: 4.2s

I would say it's on a ship that docked prior to that one. I suspect your car is on the GLOVIS CHORUS.

You get your delivery pushed back to May! Or you could nominate someone to pickup the car instead of you.

Just came back for me, nothing changed. 😅

I'm getting the same thing. Let's hope they haven't been hacked, and here's hoping that it's just traffic from all the London orders having delivery dates.

Sorry I misunderstood. I only had one date. But what I was referring to was that prior to receiving the SMS, I visited the site on the RN page, to see if my EDD had changed, and straight afterwards received the text. Strange.

Same here. I was very surprised. Either coincidence or it's an actually thing that happens.

Same here, Friday 25th March @ Bluewater.

Problem with that at the moment, all energy suppliers are refusing new customers and telling everyone to sit tight as there is a price increase coming in April. I tried getting quotes and they are extremely expensive, like 45p / kWh!!! So I will stay with British Gas, as I will be getting my...

Your car may have been the first to be driven into the ship, meaning it will be the last to be driven out, maybe???

No it isn't. There is time between the ship docking and the car being ready for pickup, and it is definitely more than 4-5 days.

I don't think people complain, because: 1. they eventually get a great product (if not the best on the market); 2. of fear that they will be treated unfairly as an act of punishment for speaking out and have their order pushed back further.

Awesome, more incentive for me to get PPF. Great stuff, thanks for the tip. I'm thinking of getting coilovers already. Yeah thinking about this, I have some space with correct orientation on the roof, but I'm thinking I will need a 22KWh battery, or it is kind of pointless. Thanks Silox...

I was told that over the phone too. I suspect the Tesla reps in person are more helpful than the ones on the phones though. It was certainly in my case.

I'm in NW London too, but frankly pickup location won't deter me. I would even be okay if they asked me to pickup from Southampton, if it meant I would get my car faster.

Are sure you have no VIN? As once you have that, you could "badger" Tesla to find out more about your car delivery, such as a more definitive date, and/or what ship it is on. But since I see from your signature, you are a veteran with Tesla, I'm sure you would know about the find my VIN in...

No I think your car will be on MORNING CARINA, like mine. I was told the ship name by a Tesla SA in person when he checked on the system. I was also told via phone, I would most probably pick up on 23rd at Bluewater. The same bloke told me that there will be a pickup there on the 29th as well...

Next up is GRAND PIONEER on 28 Feb Last in Q1 is GLOVIS SYMPHONY on 17 Mar

Yes, @RichardTheKing I think your car came on an earlier ship, is in the UK right now and not the MSC IMMACOLATA, probably the SFL COMPOSER shipped it.

Yeah, keep us posted. I'm worried as I have seen photos of ones that don't quite fit, not sure why. Could it be that the 2022 MY has slightly different dimensions?

How do they fit? Are they snug?

I found it incredibly difficult to find some good ones for a reasonable price that are RHD. I will wait until the market opens up a bit and use the ones I'm giving until then.

Okay, so that would make it 14 days turnaround. Hmmm... Interesting.

Do you have a reg?

15 days does sound quite excessive though, and I think probably on the most liberal side.

I was informed again by a SA in person, that Tesla are really eager of getting them into customers hands as quickly as possible. I suspect that there is time taken to register the vehicle with the DVLA, getting plates printed/mounted, and prepping it for customer delivery (checks, wash, etc.)...

Today I had some errands to run near Park Royal, and decided to go see a MY in person for the first time. I thought it would be a great opportunity to talk to a Tesla SA about my order. The fam was there, loved the showroom car on display, and I got chattin'. Politely asked about where my order...

But we can get more seats installed later, right?

I think that it is most likely a regulation and compliance issue for UK and EU.

Same here.

Sorry to hear that @Snowy77 . There may still be hope and you get assigned a vehicle that was rejected, etc. I'm sure you'd jump at the opportunity! Be strong mate! On the other hand, my EDD is unchanged, and am really hoping Tesla don't pull a number on me.

Seems we are true brothers in arms here. Might see you in RL! Really hoping it is 23rd March delivery.

When is your EDD? Is it like mine, 15 - 29 March? Or have you received a more definitive one? I was told my Tentative date of delivery is 23rd of March. And more importantly did you get any indication of what ship you car is on?

Today, I talked to a TA about my delivery. He couldn't tell me what ship my car was on, and was surprised other TAs could see that in the system. 🤔 However, he did mention that the cars will be delivered to the BlueWater hub on the 22nd and 28th of March.

Just got off the phone with a TA. He said that my car will be most likely ready for pick up on the 23rd at Bluewater. He also did mention it generally doesn't matter where you pick the car up from. I asked this because on the 29th, I'm flying out, and won't be around. The cars are getting...

Yep, I'm in the same boat it seems.

I'm guessing this also.

Parcel shelf?

Me too, got the same update just today..

I just tried to find "LRW" on this: view-source:https://www.tesla.com/en_GB/teslaaccount/product-finalize?rn=RNXXXXXXX ... and nothing.

Alright, my EDD changed from March 2022 to March 15 - March 29, just today. No VIN yet. :(
