As I've had no communication at all from Tesla for over a month and a hidden VIN 4718xx for longer than a month, I decided to go to West Drayton today and try and find out what's happening.
The conversation went like this:
Me - Can you tell me anything about where my car is?
Tesla Rep - It's in transit
Me - How long before it gets here?
Tesla Rep - Don't know
Me - Why have people with no reservation got their car already and as a day 1 reservation holder I haven't?
Tesla Rep - Don't know. VINs have been getting reallocated for various reasons
Me - Can you give me any idea at all when it's likely to be in the UK at least?
Tesla Rep - No
Me - Do you know why I've had 3 different hidden VINs so far but no delivery window?
Tesla Rep - Don't know
Me - It seems the whole allocation and delivery process is quite random.
Tesla Rep - Yes, it is
Me - Do you know why people are getting texts such as the one yesterday, but I've had nothing since early July?
Tesla Rep - Don't know
So not much help at all.
Please don't tell me "it will be worth it when it finally arrives" as I'm sick of hearing that phrase now.
