I ordered a M3P black/black on 31/10 through Nationwide Vehicle Contracts (lease plan) and didn’t hear anything for weeks. Chased them a couple of times for the RN but they said they’re not allowed to give it out (despite them giving it to others on this forum). Eventually they came back and said Tesla have matched me to a car and delivery was 31/1/20. Not ideal as my current car is due to go back next week, also seemed strange Tesla arranging a delivery so far in advance.
Anyway, I got fed up today and called Tesla directly myself in the hope I’d get someone half sensible who could track down my order without the RN, and got lucky. The guy found the order through my linked Tesla account (even though it doesn’t currently show any products) and quickly dropped the bomb that I hadn’t even been matched to a car yet let alone secured a delivery date!
Clearly picking up on the sound of my disappointment he said he’d have a look through inventory then call me back. Doubtful I’d hear from him again, 15 minutes later the phone rang, he said he’d found an exact match in inventory and switched it for delivery 27/12! Happy days. He said they’re trying to deliver as many as possible before Xmas so they may even bring the date forward!
Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly from here. But if you have ordered through a leasing company it’s worth calling Tesla directly for updates as I don’t think lease companies want the hassle.
