God help us then if the AI has been “trained” by some of the idiot drivers I see on the roads!!!

And then whatever you do, DON’T even think about claiming if you have an incident driving into or out of the garage (that you don’t have lol!)

Thanks for your suggestion @Jason71. As far as the congestion charge is concerned, I didn’t have reason to go there. Dodging all the mad Deliveroo and UberEats bikers in Outer London was quite stressful enough! I don’t remember there being quite so many of them the last time I drove in the...

In response to @Dilly, I always do!

Having picked up my Tesla Model 3 RWD in December, this week saw me make my first big trip in it… to my son’s wedding in London! To be honest, we usually travel by train when we visit, but as that option is pretty unreliable at the moment, and as we had a lot of stuff to take with us (including...

Really glad to find this thread today (not sure why I missed the earlier posts from Friday). Haven’t had reason to charge my car since last Sunday, when Hypervolt were experiencing problems with their app, which gave rise to a similar “no power” message on the Tesla app. When it happened again...

Sorry @CWT3LR, only just caught up with this thread again. Thanks for the info. I had no idea Shell Energy were doing a “strategic review” - very interesting if indeed they do decide to pull out of retail energy supply. As already mentioned, I have already expressed an interest in this Ovo...

I registered my interest soon after hearing about this tariff, but haven’t heard anything back from Ovo at all. I suspect it’s because I’m not an existing customer (although I was with them about three years ago, but currently with Shell Energy).

Have been with Start Rescue for a few years now. Although I haven’t had to use them yet (thankfully) for any EV related issues, they came out to a tyre blowout I had years ago in a previous car, and recovered my wife’s car to a local garage of my choice when she accidentally managed to fill her...

Thanks @AndyWarrington for bringing this new tariff to my attention. Have only had my Model 3 for just over a month and have been doing the maths to see if it was worthwhile me changing from my existing supplier (Shell) to one of the Octopus EV tariffs. As it stands, my usage is such that...

If it’s of any use, I picked mine up from Trafford Centre on Tuesday with 44% charge and arrived home in Blackpool with 19% (that was doing 70mph where possible on the motorways though and, to be fair, it was a tad warmer on Tuesday!)

Just picked up my new M3 RWD today from Trafford Centre (bit of a nightmare trying to find the location, but that’s another story….) Obviously apprehensive about the no USS thing, but I was very pleasantly surprised at the clarity of the reversing camera, even though it was dark by the time I...

Yes, picking up mine on the 6th. Was offered 3rd Dec but only late-ish time slots and didn’t really want to drive home in the dark while getting used to a new car. And I’m working on the 5th, which was the other date offered.

I have a pick up scheduled on Dec 6th (from Trafford Centre). I DID get the message about having to accept no USS, but I haven’t paid extra for enhanced Autopilot, which would appear to scupper Aaron-TG’s second theory!

Sounds like a stack of delivery texts went out this afternoon! Got mine, pick-up Trafford Centre, Dec 6th. Good luck and fingers crossed for all those of you still waiting.

For many years, I had no particular interest in electric cars, what with all the talk of their limited range, slow charging capability etc. Then one day, whilst in London and waiting for my wife to finish shopping in M&S at Marble Arch, I spied the Tesla showroom (then in Oxford Street) and...

Same here. Got the email this morning to check my account, which had the notification of removal of sensors, a renewal of my PCP offer as promised months ago (pleased to see the APR was still at the old rate and my monthly repayment is still the same - would have kicked off otherwise!) and a...

I ordered the same day as you and still no VIN here either, so don’t despair!

I ordered my Tesla M3 RWD (white, black interior, Aeros) on 7th Feb and had my charger installed in March, just before the grant got pulled. If I have to wait much longer my wall box will be out of its guarantee period before I’ve even had a chance to use it!!! 😂

Probably not. Even at the “old” price this will still be the most expensive car I have ever ordered!

When you resubmitted your credit approval, did you get the same APR quoted as when you ordered, or did it increase? I ordered in February (PCP) when the APR was 4.9% (since increased to 5.9% I think…) and so my credit application has also expired. I was hesitant to resubmit on the website just...

Yes, I ordered on the same day as you!

Slight change in EDD for me too. Now saying Nov 15-Dec 22 (was previously into January).

That must be why I’m still behind you in the queue lol! 😂

Well done to you sir! I think we both ordered on the same day, so you’ve got me wondering where mine is now!

Feb 7th

Feb 7th

Checked last night after reading this thread. I’m sure it was still Nov-Dec earlier this week.

My EDD has moved too (thanks to those in this thread for giving me the heads-up that some EDDs had changed!) Gone from Nov-Dec to Sep 23rd to 30th (white/black/aeros Trafford collection). Was going to book my existing car in for its annual service and MOT, due Sept 1st. If this EDD looks like...

Haven’t had any texts or emails yet trying to tempt me to order a used Model 3, but my EDD has moved (just checked the app after reading recent comments here). Was Sept 26-Nov 10th, now Nov 13-Dec 28. White/black/Aeros ordered Feb 7th, Manchester Trafford Centre collection.

Interesting. I ordered exactly same spec as you, and on exactly the same date. My EDD is Sept 26 to Nov 10, and as I’m going the PCP route I guess they must be prioritising cash orders - by all of one day lol! 😂

Well, having had no EDD other than a somewhat vague May 2022 since I ordered in February, which was obviously never gonna happen, I now have a revised estimate of Sept 26-Nov 10.

Thanks @partywme for starting a thread for those of us patiently waiting for our “poverty spec” M3s. Originally put down a £1000 refundable deposit not long after the Model 3 reveal, but held off from ordering straightaway due to the widespread reports of fit and finish issues on early cars...

I know, but only because I’ve been following this thread! My EDD has never said anything other than May, never jumped around or had a more specific date range. I did wonder at first whether it had anything to do with the fact that I placed a refundable £1000 deposit with Tesla when the Model...

Yes, me! M3RWD White/black/aeros ordered Feb 7th… so not quite as long ago as you!

I also ordered on 7th Feb (M3/RWD/white/black interior) and my EDD has only ever been “May 2022”, never got down to specific date ranges like so many others on here. Don’t honestly expect it in May, so will just wait patiently. Might ring up though if it gets to June and my EDD is STILL saying...

Hahaha! 😂 My wife’s car is white so when I decided to order my M3, I really thought I’d end up going with another colour (quite liked blue actually!) so as not to have two cars the same colour. Also wondered if having a less-common colour would improve the residuals when I eventually came to...

Have been following this thread for a while, but intrigued as to how or where you are all getting your date-specific EDDs from. Mine has only ever said "May 2022" as my EDD, never anything more specific than that. Checked again today having seen the posts about people having their delivery date...

I’m hoping so, but like I said in my original post, I don’t want to find out that it’s not fine after I’ve bought the car!!! Both ground clearance and any hangovers were concerns, as the Model 3 is longer than my current car.

This is mine. At least I’ve got a bit of pavement before I hit the uphill, rather than what looks like a rather nasty double kerb!

Sorry, I wasn’t aware there was a difference between the models. The one I’m looking at is just the “ordinary” SR+

Thanks for your kind offer. As you say, it’s that break over angle that is the concern. I did actually knock up some battens myself (the good people at Tesla were good enough to provide me with the wheelbase measurement) and it looked as though it “should” be ok, but wasn’t really 100% sure...

After seeing a couple of alarming looking videos on YouTube of folks in the US nervously trying to get their Model 3s either into or out of garages that have ramps or slopes down to the roadway, with very little ground clearance to play with, it got me to thinking about my driveway, which is a...

Yes, what is it with Tesla, still affixing GB Euro plates on 20 reg vehicles when we are allegedly no longer in the EU?!!!

Congrats on the new arrival! That builder is looking rat her enviously at her though!

I think the biggest problem right now will be that many of these places will be closed until such time as the lockdown restrictions are eased.

Pity there doesn’t appear to be a PCP option on these cars. Might have been tempted if there was.....

Well, just to add to the general all round confusion, I’m also a Model 3 reservation holder, but not an existing S or X owner, and I DID receive an email invite! In fact, I left Mrs O’Watt Christmas shopping at the Trafford Centre last week and popped across to the Stockport SC to have a look...
