Loner collected. Model 3 LR with EAP. It seems the issue with the rear drive is a failed coil. Should be fixed by next Monday

Mine died on the A14 on Sunday. Automatic Emergency Braking failure, then limited to 37 mph the. Rear motor failure. The car was recovered and taken to Norwich where I have been told today it needs a new inverter. That will be “some time next week”. I’ve asked if I can get a loaner. No...

Happened to me… it’s dangerous

First long trip in my Model Y. Headed north up the A1 and then the M62 and M6. Really impressed with the car. We had a couple of phantom braking episodes, but they were kind of expected. The lane following had a bit of an episode with some road markings, but I kind of can forgive that. (It’s...

I ordered mine direct through Tesla and chose them as the payment route. It was all in my name and then the car disappeared out of my account about 2 weeks ago when everything was signed. I’m still getting texts from Tesla (your car is nearly here etc). Really appreciate your help 👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you! Was that a private lease or a company one? Did you get a text confirming the collection date??

Help! Has anyone collected a car with a lease from ALD Automotive. I am due to collect my MY on 5th September, all the paperwork is done. I wanted to know what is required for collection. The Lease is in my company name, not mine. Tesla won't discuss it with me as the order is not from me...

I think that "Max" is the key. I think that is with the AB enabled, or rather that's what the insurance company said to me!

The AB is said to add about 50 bhp and improve acceleration from 4.8 to 4.2 seconds. The figures online are all over the place. My SQ5 had 340bhp (although it does have over boost for a short time to about 360bhp). That did 60 in a claimed 5.1 secs. It was about 5.5 secs. Weight is similar...

507bhp is, I believe the power output with the Acceleration boost enabled. The Performance shows 527 bhp.

GN72 for mine collecting on Monday :)

https://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount/oxp-bff-api/user-orders You can log into your account and then use the above, the top line has the vin :)

I was offered 3rd September at Bluewater (can't make that, I'm at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute) so I'm picking it up on 5th September. The tracking your vin on the vessel doesn't seem to work.

There is a boat arriving on the 15th August. There is no great hurry to get them delivered I guess, and September means a new plate :)

I’ve got my text. Picking Slartibartfast up on 5th September. Ordered 4/3/22 a MY/R/B/G

Delivery date confirmed. 5th September 👍🏻

Delivery just shifted to August 19 to September 2 - VIN number in source code :)

Just seen your spec. Mine is exactly the same spec ordered 4th March. - Dely Aug 26th to Sept 30th... You delivery is almost exactly 20 days after mine...

QED. Acceleration Boost increases power by 50 bhp. The Model Y P has 527 bhp so if the AB increased the LR 378kw (507bhp) by 50bhp it would be faster than the MYP. The insurance premiums are based on the car with AB, they must be

What if the specs that are published for the car are in fact with the Acceleration Boost enabled? I know that when I have looked at comparison sites the information on power outputs looks “odd”. (Shows the Performance as 557 and the LR as 507 - it doesn’t say what these numbers are by the way 🤣🤣🤣)

From all the videos you no longer have standard, just chill and sport

Delivery slipped again :(

I’m basing the number on our experience shopping from Shanghai but then we have to unload containers!! I keep forgetting the transit is about 30 days 🤣. I’m with you Mid July makes sense.

The delivery dates that people are showing now would indicate that there should be something leaving soon. (I do think the 8th August is not a chance for me!) However, based on a 6 to 8 week shipping time from Shanghai vessels do need to be moving in the next couple of weeks to hit the 8th Aug...

Pop over to Aldeburgh and go and see Susie at Munchies. Quite brilliant Cafe 👍🏻

Wattisname wave as you go past. BSE is my home town. There is a Supercharger in Elveden. It’s rather conveniently in the car park of the Elveden Inn. A bit of a detour from the A14…. And if you a really stuck, there’s a charger at my house 🤣 There is a supercharger in Cambridge. It’s the...

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out giving everyone that buys a car money to get the swirls polished out is better remedied by just being careful when you clean them!!

LB is London and the Wimbledon office. That could be any of the London offices I would think?

AJ is Anglia region from the Peterborough DVLA office. (Cambridge??)

Hang on!! Delivery date change.. August 9 to September 9!!

Same as mine except I went for the Geminis. Ordered 4/3/22 - No VIN :(

So my EDD has moved again...August 25th to October 9th... It's moving in the right direction at least 🤣

Ahh.... If you open a new window and Vin check, you get NULL. If you Vin Check from the Tesla Account window you get a :

It's gone back to a : I'm not looking anymore..... Oh just once then...

It's gone back to Null.... Where's the clutching at straws emoji??

And Me!!

My source code has changed from VIN "null" to VIN ":" They play with us, like a Cat does a Shrew... Damn you Tesla and your mind games. Don't you realise I'm 52 years old and play far too much Call of Duty than I should.

There is hope. MYLR Red Black 19’s ordered March 4th…

I'm certain that you can. Drop them an email. Regarding other stuff: "Please see below; this is the information we provide in regards to your question relating to modifications. We would like to confirm any modifications or ancillary equipment fitted to ALD Automotive vehicles would be at...

Excitedly checks Account... Still Sept 19 to Nov 3... slips back into depression...

That’s the only concern. I know people with Teslas, they all say they are fabulous. Just can be a right ball ache if they go wrong….

I keep checking my delivery in the vain hope that something might change….

Same spec as mine ordered 4th March! 19th Sept to 3rd Nov!?!

Absolutely. Leasing companies are going to order in bulk anyway and I assume that they negotiate a discount. One of the reasons that I have decided on a Tesla is how ridiculously cheap it is compared to cars of a similar purchase price. (BMW i4 M50 was £930 (ish) a month excluding VAT, the...

Sounds like a great way to drive sales to me 😅. ALD I know takes over your order, but the other leasing companies just order cars in bulk don't they? If you want features, they can just be enabled once the car arrives. I have spoken to ALD about my Model Y (if it arrives - 🤣) in regard to...

Gone from July to 19th Sept to 3rd November. Ordered 4th March, thats 3rd or 4th 1/4 territory… I guess mine will be a Christmas present 🤣

Same as mine, apart from a 1 week August to September lead time??

I know that you can turn it on and try it and you have (I think) 48hours to decide if you want it or not. Once you have tried it however if you turn it back on you have to buy it. I’m surprised they don’t do a try for a month then buy. As it is over the air, there is no reason why it...

Many years ago I went to the release event for the Audi A6 at Silverstone. One of the features was self parking. The driver of the demo car, the said his clipped German accent, "And now we demonstrate the latest gimmick, sorry feature on the Audi A6" we laughed. He continued, "well, to be...

I can’t quite get my head round the fact that the Autopark isn’t part of the standard Autopilot. From the videos I’ve seen, the Lane changing is a bit temperamental and the navigate on autopilot can be a bit scary!! I guess the question is, is it worth £3400.00? I think if it was £2k I would...
