Just had a text to collect! Not a key worker and still not allowed to do none essential travel. So will request it’s put back until lockdown is lifted.
Do you mind me asking when you ordered?

March 3rd ordered, received an RN and VIN but switched to an inventory car on March 9th.Do you mind me asking when you ordered?

I should have collected March 24th but as my son was showing covid symptoms we were in isolation so switched to March 31st, then lockdown and not a key worker so have been waiting since, albeit I told Tesla to prioritise key workers, yet they then sent me a delivery option which I declined due to being isolation.OK, 6 weeks-ish...not bad, I don't think. I'm at week 4 now since ordering. I am a keyworker, though I'm not particularly optimistic that's going to mean anything, as there was a slight ball-up between my NHS lease company and VWFS. That said, if I only had a coupe more weeks to wait, I'll be a happy bunny

Yours can’t be far away as they’ve had lots of cancellations so have many cars from the last delivery to off load.
There were quite few cars (new) on inventory last week and they didn’t appear to sell, then just disappeared. I think over the next couple of weeks they will put the rest of the cancelled / available new stock back on, as they’ll be hoping that lockdown will be lifted and more people will be happy to travel and collect. It’s worth calling them and asking if they’ll switch your current RN / order to an available inventory car? As you are a NHS key worker then I think they will accommodate you, they are keen to get cars sold.

Or do what I did and order an inventory car online, you’ll be allocated an RN and VIN, then pass this onto your lease company. Tesla are fine with this, but you need to check your lease company are. Once done a new RN is created as your lease company take over your order, but your VIN stays the same. Within two weeks the registration is added and the car ready to collect / deliver, or in my case sit there due to covid-19.
Check your current order status first though as you might already have a car added to your order.
Have you got a VIN or a hidden VIN on your account? I ordered on the 13th of March and in the last few days I had a hidden VIN appear in the source code. Not sure if I've been matched with a cancelled order - time will tell I suppose!
You won't be able to find it because you've ordered with your lease company and *they* have or will make the order with Tesla.I suppose I need to have this explained to me. I have a login on the main Tesla site, which takes me to what I imagine is a generic splash page, that says "Paul's Tesla". There's a Model S at the top, a Model X further down the page, and then a Powerwall at the bottom of the page. (I've ordered an M3P).
There's another account page which asks for my name and address, then the VIN of my car-obviously I don't have one yet so I can't get any further than that screen.
Now I'm ok with looking for the hidden VIN, getting the source code etc.. but which page do I do it on? The splash page, the manage your account page or a.n. other page? I'm pretty sure there's nothing to see yet, but it helps for a more realistic time when I might expect to see one.
Many thanks. The car is for my wife. I tried desperately to persuade her to have the white interior like you but she just wouldn’t have it. Still black is fine too. Took some provisions to my elderly mother last night to give it a try out. Did a test of the acceleration (it’s a Performance) and OMG, it makes my Model S (0-60 5.3s) seem pedestrian. It’s truly brutal and breathtaking acceleration (that I thought I already had with the S). Wow.That's the one I've gone for with white/black interior. It looks a beast of a car. Congratulations, mate!
Don’t feel bad. I’m going to have to start wearing chinos to work instead of jeans once lockdown is over just so I don’t obsess about leaving dye on mine.Th
