do we know if GF china will supply the rest of asia now for model 3s and if so does that mean more ships to us from SF.
Yeah I was really surprised, based on other people on here I wasn't expecting a VIN until at least the end of February.
Not yet, they are still ramping up production and are not even close to meeting Chinese domestic demand. My feeling though is that once production is meeting Chinese demand, they will start to offer the cars to nearby countries, maybe the Indo-China countries, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia. I think 2021 would be the earliest possible date for this though, and 2022 perhaps more likely. These would be new countries for official Tesla availability.
I keep telling myself not to refresh the page, to leave it a week, but can't help myself. Your post has been a ray of sunshine lol even though I know it'll make sod all difference to me because I'm trying to collect from Bristol which is a much smaller SC than Heathrow.
Anyway, enjoy in good health - logically this means your car is on one of the boats that is on its way or has already docked.
The sad part is I viewed the source of my order page earlier on after reading @TRG103's post and saw that there were two "5Y" matches in the code. But when I found the second one it was actually a randomly generated ID for one of the forms on the page. The other 5Y is actually part of a stylesheet filename. I feel like Tesla is trolling me.

Two LRs in white too... exactly the same spec as my unmatched order. I have to say, Tesla offering up cars to potential new orders when existing orders of the same spec are waiting for a match is really not on. I'd think about calling up Tesla and getting them to shift my RN to one of those but they'll be gone before I can get off hold.
EDIT: Gone in the time it took me to write that post.
I tried to get mine swapped to an inventory order (exactly the same spec and there were 6 of them). They wouldn't do it.
Crikey that went fast. I had been checking the inventory periodically before ordering, I didn't realise it changed so frequently.
I tried to do this last week when I saw my order x 5 on Inventory and I had no VIN, Tesla told me to speak to the lease company and the lease company told me they wouldn't do the cancel order/re-order from inventory.
I think you would have been wasting your time and adding to your frustration, just like I did.

It certainly does, but this is Tesla. It's infuriating and simply just not 'the right thing to do'. Their phone calls are dealt with in the order they were received, so why aren't their car purchases?
I guess with leasing it makes it extra complicated because it's the lease company technically buying the car. Even so, the process should be automated and you shouldn't have to see cars being offered up for sale that match your unallocated order slot.
Oh i had a bit of drama to go through first, including once being told to "be patient", i called the lease co and they escalated it to the highest person at Tesla they could and within 10 mins it had gone from "be patient" to a delivery date and an apology.
Proves they can do something if they really want to

Yeah NHS and Tesla all say that the system is archaic and "out of their control". Ie, they're all blaming eachother. Regardless of who hit the buy button, Tesla are still getting almost £50k for the sale of the LR I've asked for. I'm not upset that it's 6 weeks already since Tesla recieved my order; I'm pissed off that it took LeasePlan from mid september until 8th Jan to actually place the order, and I'm pissed with Tesla that the window for delivery is quickly closing and I've not even got a VIN yet. Seeing White LRs available for on existing inventory is just salt in the bitter wounds.

I had an order placed and saw two the same spec on inventory and called them up to put my name on one. Only ordered early Jan and picked it up yesterday.
I understand that you can click on one and order it directly through the web instead of calling them.

I'm not the one ordering it though, as I'm going through NHS Fleet Solutions who then order via LeasePlan.
Phoned Tesla.... held for a while then got through to someone...
They said my car was on a boat and was due to arrive UK 1st week March and would be ready for collection 2nd week of March (in Edinburgh).
Am hoping it's on the Grand Mark as surely the Brooklands and Morning Cara would be later than this, unless the Brooklands is sailing straight to the UK and not Zeebrugge?
