It was same situation for me. I only noticed something was up when the Tesla app on my phone suddenly had a car in my profile - and it turned up a few hours later, nothing from the text message between then and the delivery.

Which after I confirmed, and asked about distancing measures, was answered with:

I suspect they’re just trying to determine how busy they’ll be, and how many people are still going ahead.
Like others here have said across various threads I would ordinarily think twice about proceeding, however in my case I have impending work requirement on Monday I need a car for. Albeit I’ve now made a protective car hire booking in case things change between now and Saturday!
Many thanks - rang this morning after finally getting the RN from Zenith last night. Had been told end of month, but Tesla said I should get it in 24 to 48 hours! So no 10 days notice then, I shouldn't complain, but equally not 100% confident. He couldn't say if collection or delivery. So rushing to get a home charger ordered... moving next year, so didn't want to go top of range, but think tethered is best option? Had thought I'd use 3 pin, but don't think it's really viable.
So I had my car delivered to my home address last Thursday, I raised an issue regarding one of the pillars having scratches where the camera was and having received a call from Tesla today they told me that they put a protection film on them that should be discarded prior to delivery, I opened the car door and just about found the edge of the plastic film and peeled it off!
I'm sharing this in case there is anyone else like me that didn't have a clue about this and has issues with their pillars.

Thanks. I heard they had adopted a no contact handover process. I quite like the "your cars cars outside...bye!" approach but 1.5m sounds ok.
Just confirmed with Tesla that my car will be delivered direct on the 26th, it'll come off the GLOVIS CAPTAIN boat this weekend and then go to Chipping Warden to where it is then driven to me in Sheffield 
they also said it's likely they'll just post the key card through the door and leave.
I wonder what they do to get back?

Mine was 2,5hrs late and no tracking text. I only found out the delivery time by calling AutoXP.
What I will say is that I was given an alternate number that worked well (once I managed to get through): 01494 561010.
'Zero prospect' of London lockdown involving movement limits, says No 10
Hopefully eases the concerns of anybody picking up from around London soon

what they`ve said to me
There was another guy in a Lexus SUV Hybrid who collected my delivery chap.
Just arrived home from collecting my SR+ from Birmingham.
They were busy as you like..couldn’t even park in the car park...ended up parking on the street next to it as they said there hadn’t been any traffic wardens since the Virus outbreak...he also offered to pay any fine should I get one.
As I said busy...whilst I was there they had just unloaded one transporter..were finishing up another and then one more arrived as I left.
Handover was easy, no demonstration due to Covid-19. They had a double desk in-front of the computer to enforce the distance...though the bloke sat in the car with me briefly. No formal walkthrough but I, like most, had done an awful lot of research.
Car was pretty faultless. Only issue I found was the boot seal had buckled and have let some water breach the seal. Dried it off and will book a service appointment to correct. The cill underneath the passenger door was sagging slightly...I imagine just a clip or some minor fettling required...apart from that, no real issues.
Car handed over with just 44% which was a little disappointing but was enough to get to the nearest 6 SC’s so not a big issue.
New struts and stick on plates already fitted.

Just had Tesla contat me about part exchange - my civic is on finnace and i need to pay the shortfall (obviously) but they want me to pay the shortfall immediately and give them proof?! I'm like, wtf is this? Honda said they cant take such payment! I always thought I'd hand Tesla the shortfall amount and then they'd just make the payoff direct with Honda.... They take ages to respond, i really hope this doesn't drag out and cause delay with my pickup next week...

That's standard protocol usually. Otherwise how would they know you wouldn't pay.
Admittedly, this is the first part exchange I have been involved in, bu I did I say I thought I would give Tesla the shortfall up front so that they can then settle the outstanding balance in full in addition to the agreed value.
The honda finance person said they found it strange that tesla are asking me to make a very small partial pay off with them direct which has me concerned.
