Do what I did. Get an inventory one and take possession then cancel your previous order.
Simple and much quicker!

I did the same thing last Friday (only difference being it's a cash purchase rather than PCP). The lady on the phone said to either phone or email deliveryGB. After placing the inventory order, I sent an email asking them to cancel the first order, and move the deposit over to the second. A VIN appeared on my first order, a few hours later. I didnt get a response to the email (until today actually). On Monday I called up the sales number, and took the option to Cancel my order - it took a little while to get through to someone, but after explaining the situation the guy checked both orders, and said that the invetory one was definatly in the UK, so he cancelled the first one, and transferred the deposit over - and said that he'd contact fulfilment to get me booked in for collection. Within a couple of hours the first order disappeared from the website, and the additional deposit appeared in the "existingDeposit" field in the source code (If you think looking for a hidden VIN is addictive, try sending money to tesla and looking for it to appear in the hidden ExistingDeposit.) On Wednesday I got the Delivery text, scheduling it for next wednesday.
According to another thread when I asked the same question Southampton apparently is code for the car not being on land yet. There isn't a SC in Southampton (one listed as coming soon on Tesla website though).
I also didn't know you could buy an inventory car and choose your pickup location! If I'd known that I would've probably pulled the trigger on the now long-gone blue/white M3P that was there earlier.

Didn't know that either so I feel your pain, the other M3P would've been perfect for me. Hope the owner enjoys it though. To be fair I still need to sell at least one car before I have space for my Model 3.
Hey folks,
I'm going for a bog standard M3 SR+, no upgrades - what sort of timescales should I expect? I've got a 320i to hand back and want to make sure I'm not left without a car for a huge period of time. I do appreciate that this may very much be a case of "How long is a piece of string!" with Tesla's track record, but you all seem pretty clued up a noob like me.
Thanks,
Greg.

Copied over from my 'Outstanding LR Orders' thread:
Just been on to Tesla, and the same guy again. He's clearly sick of me calling once a week... Anyways, he said all is good and a car is on its way. I'm welcome to call again but to leave it until mid March when there will be more visibility and to expect the car end of March, early April.
I sort of feel a bit of relief, but not really...

It seams to be random who you actually talk to when you phone the Maidenhead number +44 1628 450604
What I have noticed is most of the time they already know my RN number (80% of time). Occasionally they don’t. The times when they ask my RN number they seam to have more. knowledge (this isn’t a scientific analysis!). e.g I called on 11 Feb and they didn’t ask for RN and they told me collection day estimate is last 3 days of Feb. When I asked which boat they said I can’t access that info. They actually couldn’t tell me anything else. I called today and had to give RN. This chap new exactly were the car is, which vessel (I didn’t even have to ask him). He said vessel getting into Zebb tonight. Expected delivery 3rd week March! I quizzed on why so long to deliver. He said Heathrow is busiest collection point and the collection slots are already filling fast, so delivery is likely dependant on slot availability not car arrival!

Apparently there is a Ship voyage reference which can be used to identify the boat the car is on.....Tesla wouldn't give me mine when I asked but others have been given this.
My lease co are saying delivery 8th March, give or take a few days, that would tie in with the Grand Mark, which docks on 22nd in Zee, however Zee port arrivals have it down as 23rd at 1am. It’s then on to Southampton and due on 25th. Fingers crossed it is on that ship.
I got given "GRAND MARK 014" over the phone
But no idea how to use that number, or even trust them that its actually on that vessel...

I think the 014 refers to journey number, so you just need the ship's name ie GRAND MARK. She is approaching the English Channel:
GRAND MARK Current position (Vehicles Carrier, IMO 9228306) - VesselFinder
Just spoke to the very helpful Mike in Solihull (initially regarding finance, different thread) and apparently I do have a VIN, although it still isn't in the code of the page. End of March apparently, I'm happy enough with that for now. Probably GLOVIS CAPTAIN, I'll be watching it carefully this weekend.

I ordered 7 Jan, and had a text on 20 Jan offering me a car, but which I had to decline as it was way too soon (expecting it to take 3-4 months) - they called and asked me what was the earliest I could take it, and I said April. Fine, they said, we'll note that on your file. Now I've just had another text offering me a car .... I can't fault their enthusiasm to get me a car, but .....!

From what's been said, if you don't take delivery by the end of March then you're likely to be waiting until May/June
That wouldn't be the end of the world for me, as I'll have my current car until then anyway, but I'm slightly wary as the EST loan has to be used by end of May!
