Mine is leased and I received mine in advance of loads of other people who were cash buyers. Not disagreeing with you as such, but I don't think it's got much to do with cash buyers versus lease. I've been following this for a good 6 months now, buying a Tesla is genuinely like participating...

Yo dudes. Truck load of m3s heading towards Manchester earlier today. I didn't take the pic btw. Someone in back seat. AF22s and AJ22s I think.

2 weeks of ownership! I thought I'd log in and provide an update. However. Returning to this thread and the talk of EDD's changing, EDD's disappearing, EDD's going down to a week window instead of a month window, etc, has really brought back some emotions I thought I had shifted. I'm calling...

I got a text telling me to go log in to arrange a collection date. I was happy as I wanted to choose the best day and time for me with my busy schedule. Every single option on the day selector was greyed out, except the 30th June. Plus, every single time was greyed out except 3pm. So I didnt...

Not being biased (I am) but Model Y's look incredible in Midnight Silver! best colour by miles :) Congrats!

Update, for those interested! I went to bed with 60% charge, woke up with 59% after preconditioning for departure, commuted 15 miles to work and arrived with 55% of charge remaining. I didn't bother using Sentry Mode over night as my car is parked relatively securely. @Frizzy you are correct...

Thanks for all the kind words today, folks. A lot of things some of you said really resonated with me, I appreciate it. Collection day was superb, and the drive home, well, unreal!!! I knew the acceleration was gonna be amazing, but I wasn't expecting the steering to be so sharp, direct and...

Feels very much the same as an airport check in as well 😂

I'm in the queue at Southampton docks. I'm early. Good 50 people in the queue. Offering out free coffees though! These boxes are full of keys, labelled from 9am to 9pm... Must be a good few 100 cars being collected today!

I left Devon via train at around 11.15am this morning, I'm due in to Southampton at 2pm, for collection at 3. Although I've waited 4 and a half months, I still feel quite lucky and privileged to be collecting today. It's a bit of a bitter sweet one, and apologies for going deep on you all, but...

Same!! Where are you collecting from? Southampton I take it?

Following our discussions a week or so ago regarding a few forum members who experienced Tesla Trade In Valuations dropping significantly.... Try motorway.co.uk for a car valuation. The final valuation on my car was £2k more than We Buy Any Car, for example, and I didn't even have to leave my...

Cheers mate! That's great to hear. I'll try to remember to take some pics :)

Got the same message! Im a lease customer so still surprised I'm collecting, assumed all lease vehicles get delivered. Prefer to pick it up anyway, to be fair. Be nice having the drive home! Take it we'll just use our phones to gain access to our vehicles? Or will our 'keys' be posted to us...

Thanks for the heads up, Snowy! Sounds like you had a great day yesterday :). Mine is scheduled for collection next Thursday. My train is booked from Newton Abbot to Southampton Central at around 11am for collection at 3pm. This time next week I'll be heading back to Devon in my M3, hopefully...

The used car market does fluctuate. Like most markets. For example, my we buy any car valuation has dropped by around 25/30 percent in a couple of months. I'm also a bit of a car guy, browse autotrader when I'm bored, etc. Dealer prices for used vehicles have dropped, significantly, recently...

Collection Help Hi all, fairly new to leasing, etc. Bit of backstory. The company I work for are leasing a Tesla for me through ALD (Tesla Business Contract Hire). The owner and registered keeper of the vehicle will be ALD, obviously, 'The Lessor'. 'The Lessee' being the company I work for...

Collection date scheduled for 30th June! All I want is the mobile charging connector as haven't had time for home charger install. Don't care about Ryzen, etc, the cars were amazing long before Ryzen was a thing. Either way, there are Supercharges within 15 miles of my home/office so that should...

VIN in source code, she's comin'!

VIN number in source code 🥰. EDD has moved to June 22 to June 30. Nothing else from Tesla, yet, but she's comin'!!!

And the award for most unusual (and depressing) EDD goes to.... And to think I had a nice 7 day EDD at the end of June just a few weeks ago.

Same here folks. EDD has moved from August 2022 to November 27 to January 11... I find it bizarre that the new EDD is a 6 week 2 day long period. Anyone else got one as unusual as this?

I'm gonna change my name by deed pole to 'Emma', or 'Davide' (probs best to use Davide to be fair). Then as I will have met the requirement to become a Tesla employee (lol) I will hopefully be able to get access to their systems and move us all to the top of the list???!

Congrats, @Snowy77 - Everyone is chuffed for 'ya, me included. The only negative, is that with every nautical mile, your violin will continue to grow. It may feel strange having a full sized violin, you may feel institutionalised, it's been that long. However, you're always welcome as you're...

This is a sensational idea. "Remember when those two ships were absolutely nailed on to be UK bound and then buggered off to Slovenia; those were the days".

Back to August 🥳

It's been quite a week, hasn't it!? I'm up quite early today, but I needed to be up early to book laser removal for my GLOVIS SPLENDOR & THEBEN tattoos. Also, it's annoying that ship names are expressed in capital letters on the forum, there's probably a reason for it but I can't help but shout...

RIP to the LRW buttons on my keyboard. Gonna get absolutely smashed to pieces over the next few days.

Selling a car based on an estimated delivery date was quite brave. It could change back to June, but it may not. You're welcome to join the small violin club, plenty of space :)

I'd suggest to take it with a pinch of salt. Mine has been at a two week window before (May/June) and then jumped to August and stayed there for a number of weeks. Mine has moved very recently from August 2022 to a one week window June 23rd to June 30th. I'm crossing my fingers but still, it's...

Yeah fair play mate. You'll need a microscope to play your violin soon 😅

I work in finance so I'm used to constant vagaries of returns and changes. Also, I'm a member of various roller coaster clubs and have ridden a few hundred different roller coasters across the world. The Tesla Purchasing Roller Coaster is a different beast, though. It's very exciting, but at...

It certainly does. I thought I'd check the app once last time before deleting it so it stopped consuming my life (lol), and saw my EDD moved from August 2022 back to June 23rd-June 30th. The app will remain another day 🤣

I ordered on February 18th. M3 LR MSM Black Aero. Delivery moved from May/June to August a couple of weeks ago. Any Model 3 purchasers around who ordered earlier than me and still waiting? Interested to know who's been waiting the longest and if you're getting tetchy yet? I was expecting to wait...

I ordered on 18th Feb (M3 LR MSM Black Aero), EDD has fluctuated quite a lot since then but settled on a two week window in early June and was static for a long time (3 weeks or so). I then had a couple of texts from Tesla saying 'make sure all your pre delivery checks have been completed', etc...

It's also speculative saying the shutdown will impact deliveries, for some yes, but for some possibly not. There might be a few 1000 cars already built awaiting transport. For some (perhaps me included) speculating over delivery dates it's just something to pass the time, if not something to...

Message from earlier this morning ^^^. How strange... I JUST GOT A TEXT FROM TESLA. I pooped myself with excitement thinking it was a "It's on the way text", which was such weird timing after conversations with you guys this morning. However. The text simply says "Tesla Update - Estimated...

Exactly my thoughts. I'll keep drip feeding info into the thread.

Has your estimated delivery date been pretty stable?

Just as a useful or possibly not useful reference point. I ordered M3 LR MSM LR 18" on 18th February. My EDD did a similar thing to yours, originally May/June, then went June/July and then sat on 'August 2022' for a week or so. From the August 2022 EDD, it's come back to May 21 - June 18 and has...

I ordered M3 LR MSM Black Aero on 18th Feb. For those who have ordered recently and getting a bit sketched out by the constant vagaries of the EDD; my delivery date changed an awful lot over the first four weeks or so (not daily, but not far off). I've been as close as April, but as far away as...

Thanks Lee, appreciate your help! I did manage to make contact with ALD (on Twitter), but they're very, very hands off, like you said.

Hi everyone. Tesla Model 3 LR / MSM / Black / Aero ordered on 18th Feb. Received RN number immediately. Elected to pay via Business Contract Hire via ALD. I haven't heard a whisper from ALD in 4 weeks, despite a couple of attempts at contact. I've completed the draft finance application, there...

Same! My EDD has been up and down roughly twice a week for the last 4 weeks! Not been up to August for a while, though. This one hurt. Feel free to join the small violin club if you've not already signed up.

Well said mate! The banter is great, yeah. That's a crazy long time to wait, but at least you spent enough time deliberating on it to ensure you've made the right decision. I do enjoy my current car (A5 Black Edition Plus) and I'm approaching it from a "this is the last ICE car I'll probably...

3 Week Update Model 3 Long Range / Midnight Silver / Black / Aeros ordered on 17th February via Tesla website, elected to pay via Business Contract Hire with ALD. Finance Application submitted on Tuesday 22nd Feb, appears to have been accepted. ALD portal now states - "Tesla Motors Limited...

Fingers crossed for you bud! Smallest of violins for you. I've not been waiting 4 weeks yet and I'm already pulling my hair out.

I ordered M3 LR / Midnight Silver / Aero Wheels with Black Interior on the 18th February. Since then, my estimated delivery date has been: - Nov 2022 April - May May - June June - July May - June Now I'm back to June - July, again. As you scan these forums, you'll see a similar trend, the...

Just spoke to Paige on chat. Felt like I was speaking to a mythical godess, of sorts. She really is a credit to Tesla, it was a very 'human' conversation and she was very helpful.
