Is there any way to turn off auto high beam permanently? Drove up to Newcastle last night (5.5 hours) and had to do the whole thing without autopilot because it kept flashing people. Seems like every time you enable autopilot it switches it back on, even if you turn it off in settings. The good...

I found I couldn't get the seat far enough back when doing this, but it probably depends on the seat

Assuming your seat has the extending bar that goes into the footwell, just make sure that's as extended as you can get it, that seems to have done the trick for me. If it doesn't keep working I'll probably just buy a seat belt clip to trick the car. Apparently it's an EU regulation as in the US...

I use Tessie, I mostly use it for two shortcuts, one just to unlock the charge port and another "Get the car ready" shortcut that does something like: Get weather Get Interior temp Stop Charge, Unlock Port If weather < 3C max defrost If interior temp > 23 climate on else if temp < 10 climate...

I was a delivery not a collection, but I think it's the same process. Car was delivered this morning, but wasn't (and still not) showing on DVLA database. I just rang the insurance company up and they put the details in manually. It was no problem other than meaning instead of driving the car at...

Mine was delivered at 6:55AM this morning, AnyVan were really good. He told me he noticed some damage when loading it and had them polish it out but to double check when the car was clean and dry. Can't drive it yet as I need to ring admiral when they open, wish I'd done that yesterday!

Had a call from anyvan confirming delivery by 7am tomorrow. He said he’s just strapping the car on now. Slightly worried about where it’ll be kept overnight. Sold my car this afternoon so hoping for an issue free delivery!

Same text too. I don’t know the answer to your question but I wouldn’t rely on it. You’ll just have to be very vigilant since they will be so close. I am guessing that text is a sign it’s passed PDI and been signed off for delivery though, or maybe just that it’s been offloaded from the boat

I’d rather powder coat but since it’s a lease I’ve gone for rimetrix. Each to their own but changing cars every 10 months seems absolutely bonkers (even more bonkers than paying 400 quid for some plastic circles).

Another WN22 here, delivery on Friday. Wife cannot wait so I’ll stop talking about it.

Anyone else just get a text from tesla about their car being "nearly here". Bit worried as I've already booked a delivery slot, so hoping this isn't a suggestion that my delivery date is being changed.

If the supercharger is at the collection site then probably not much point preconditioning since it takes time to do that.

It is indeed a nice perk, however I do think many (smaller) business would be open to doing it for long term employees - I know we would.

If you have to sacrifice via a salary sacrifice scheme to be honest it didn't seem much different to PCH to me - they raise the prices on the salary sacrifice scheme cars to bring net cost almost up to a PCH cost. I reduced my salary and took on a business lease, after 40% tax saving and...

Yes

Same, it was out of stock when I went back so I assume that’s the reason.

Tesla confirmed they are delivering to my home address, thankfully. I was worried I'd have go to the office and see the people I work with.

Thanks all, I've sent them my home address, will follow up tomorrow if I don't hear back!

Tesla haven’t said where they are expecting to deliver it, just for me to confirm the address. i suppose the question im asking is if anyone on a business lease has had the car delivered to their house?

Hate to start a thread for such a simple question but it got buried in one of the other threads. I’ve got my delivery text for my MYLR - March 18th. It’s a business lease through a 3rd party and registered to the business address an hour from my house. Will I cause all hell to break loose if I...

No, but if the car is written off you'd need to buy AB again on the replacement car.

For anyone else with an MY order who was worrying like I was about not receiving a text, it looks like everyone who's receiving them are M3 orders

Apparently they are planning on shipping direct to UK by March.

I'm 30, 12 years experience and I'm getting quotes between £450-600 ish. My current car is a BMW 330i, so similar-ish performance (a bit slower) and I pay £390. Most people seem to be getting slightly higher than that, between 600-1000. I live in a fairly quiet area which helps. In London I...

Does anyone know if Tesla care about the delivery address for lease drivers? I'm leasing via work, which is over an hour from home, so when they ask for the delivery address I'd like to give them my home address, despite my work address being on the lease paperwork. But I'm wary of giving them...

Just seen from your history that you're a new driver with 2 years experience - don't want to be a negative nelly but I'd be surprised if anyone would insure you for a sensible sum of money. I assume you are at least over 25, which will help. If you have anyone who's been driving longer you could...

It’s going to the UK via the Suez Canal. Final destination will show as Southampton after it passes suez.

I finally have a VIN showing in my leaseco account with estimated delivery showing as April 1st. Hopefully not some kind of sick april fools joke. Tesla told me last week it was March 16th - 31st so assuming leaseco are just using the 1st as the latest date I should have the car. MYLR...

Just go here and look in the bottom left: Design Your Model 3 | Tesla it doesn't always appear as it's based on agent availability so try throughout the day.

Just spoke to Tesla chat and was told 23rd-31st March for delivery for MYLR. Ordered Feb 4th. He was very clear that it would definitely be in March and to let them know if I couldn't do March. I of course said I can definitely do March and would take the soonest date available - sadly he did...

With the estimated date are people receiving this as a text or just seeing it in their account? Really hoping mine is the same (ordered Feb 4th) and I’m just not getting the update as I’m a lease and can’t see it in the account.

I had a look into it yesterday out of curiosity. When you load an certain pages on the website (order page for example) it makes a request to a Flex webchat API to check for availability of an agent. I suspect it rarely appears because there are so few agents in the UK (3 that I am aware of)...

Some progress - just spoke to Katy on UK Chat. I've not been assigned a car yet, but my ETA is still March. She was not sure about the authorisation thing with talking to me/Lex but was happy to provide the info I needed.

Carlos was nice to you, I just tried and the agent told me to go to the UK site :(

It isn't always available, it appears randomly, possibly only while Elons roadster is facing earth.

I've just spoken directly to Lex who told me that they've never heard of Tesla refusing to discuss directly with the end customer, normally Lex are kept completely out of the loop. As Lex are only providing the financing, they said I need to go back to Tesla and offer to provide the order...

I spoke to my lease company about this and they just said "you won't be authorised until you have the car" but it appears from some others that it's more likely there is a hold up somewhere.

Strange - really hoping it's not a sign that your order is on hold if they won't tell you anything!

Yes same here, I just gave them my RN and didn't tell them I was leasing, so it must be flagged on their system not to talk to us

Theft is the main thing holding me back. Doubt they’d last a week in Swindon.

It’s a common way of reducing premiums, has been for as long as I’ve been driving. So by that token I’d assume it’s statistically proven to reduce risk, otherwise insurers wouldn’t do it.

That might mean progress then. I am not authorised to talk with Tesla and my ID docs were approved and finance all approved by Lex on Feb 11th. I thought Tesla refusing to talk to me was a bad thing but maybe it’s just a sign that it’s progressed further. I was told today that Tesla won’t be...

Bit worried I have a similar situation. Tesla won't tell me anything - not authorised. Lease Co saying I'll only be authorised to talk to tesla once I have the car. I've been told March/April, but no one can actually tell me if that still looks likely. I ordered right around when the delivery...

I'm leasing via Select Car Leasing (which itself appears to be via Lex). Just spoke to Tesla who said they are not authorised to talk to me by Lex. I took that to mean that a car hasn't been allocated yet as Lex may not have completed their side of the order 😔

I'm leasing via Select Car Leasing. Ordered on the 4th, got the "set up your account" text on the 6th and RN on the 7th. Nothing since though, but it has only been 3 days for me! On the portal on the leasing website there's a number of other steps (id check, finance approval etc) that are...

I'm on a business lease and only received 1 text so far saying "Congratulations, we'll contact you when it's available to be scheduled". I only ordered on Feb 4th, so I assume this is a "we're really busy so we have no idea when you're car is coming" message.

Bizarre, forgot to mention I also have 3 points, although due to be removed on April 13th. I'm insured with admiral at the moment for £390 on a 330i, so my quote makes no sense when comparing your numbers.

Admiral quoting £458 on Model Y for me and wife (29 and 30, Swindon). Direct Line coming in a little more expensive at £643. Happy with that. Over the weekend everyone except admiral was refusing to quote me at all, so looks like they are sorting things out now. Still can't get quoted on...

Thanks - I assumed the same, it makes a lot of sense. Maybe I have overestimated how many people are ahead of me in the queue. I imagine a large quantity of the cars they produce are the lowest spec ones like mine, so perhaps they have plenty en route to fulfil orders.

Hi all, Ordered a boggo MYLR (white/19s) on Friday 4th. Leasing company suggesting a March/April delivery, which seems very ambitious to me - is it possible new orders can be delivered this soon when they are still fulfilling Day 1 orders? They have already linked up with tesla as I've had the...
