2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

[HIWEX]

The PM did say that you could travel to and from work. If delivering cars is your job, you can’t do that at home, so by that interpretation, they can still deliver. Getting home means that they’ll need a car to follow each delivery.
Maybe that’s just wishful thinking... we’ll all find out tomorrow.

A true moral quandary...

Sadly my father died recently and is being buried next week.

Tesla Brent Cross is between me and the funeral home and cemetery. Do i collect the car on the way?

I know what the answer is really, it’s just hard when you’ve waited exactly 4 years for the car

Very sorry for your loss - I think if you are passing that way, and you've waited so long, give yourself a little deserved happiness.

Agree with the above.

I’ve received an email from Sytner (other car) stating that new car deliveries will still continue, presume it will be the same for Tesla. Just maybe showroom you be closed.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens in the coming days/weeks... It's disappointing to be "so near yet so far", but let's face it -- most of us won't be doing any significant driving anytime soon. That being said, I hope key workers where the car is essential are prioritised over us housebound WFHers.

I had that email from synters as well but received it before Boris had his chat and grounded us all

If only ‘summon’ worked over 100 miles

I'm sure we can all expect another text in the morning.

The main thing is, if they can't deliver the cars then they can't deliver them anywhere else so they won't be reallocated. So if we have to wait, we wait until restrictions are lifted, but it won't be as long as waiting until new cars are shipped in May/June/end of time.

If you do genuinely need your car as it will be your only transport then I suggest contacting Tesla and letting them know and maybe they'll be able to prioritise your delivery.

Whatever happens, the main thing is we're all safe and healthy. Take care of yourselves and your loved ones, obey the rules, and this, as all things, will pass.

Here's to enjoying our Teslas, as and when we get them.

According to the detail provided tonight, garages will remain open, so service centres should be OK. We won’t be able to collect, but they will be able to deliver as drivers are not listed as being restricted. If you think about it delivery drivers are needed, the fact that it’s a car being delivered is a mere detail....

 

[TRG103]

All non-essential shops to close immediately

This article suggests that "garages" stay open - I assume a Tesla Service Center counts as one? If so, then we'd be able to pick up deliveries, but you would have to essentially go against the government controls and head outside for a non-essential reason.

Alternatively it also states that retailers can continue to deliver as usual - again I assume that also applies to Tesla as a retailer and therefore car deliveries, so the alternative would be that they'll drive it to your house.

Edit: What HIWEX said above

Just got a text:

Tesla Update: Following Government guidance, if you deem your car essential we will facilitate your vehicle collection in a no contact environment at safe distances. Video tutorials are available in-car or online for instruction on using your car. Reply 'YES' if you still need to collect or 'NO' to reschedule. To unsubscribe from SMS, reply STOP.

Same text here

 

[Matt2000]

I had that too. I honestly don't know which reply to choose, I feel like getting the car is essential to my mental health but I'm no sure that actually matters.

 

[Durzel]

What does reschedule mean though? I could live without the car for another month but I don’t want to reply no and get deallocated from the car.

I’ve had that text too.

I’m guessing this message has been rushed out to try to give some clarity to those who are due to collect tomorrow.

Same here, and to think I delayed it a week too

what to do, what to do...

I would guess it would mean reschedule once restrictions are lifted. Problem is, right now we have no idea when that will be.

I’ve had the text. Wife needs the car to get to work (NHS) or it’s getting taxis or public transport for the foreseeable. It’s one journey to save many riskier ones is my view and seeing as she’s already without the appropriate PPE in work, I think making sure she doesn’t have to end up on buses and taxis after horrendously long shifts (where she’s equally a huge risk to the public) is probably a fair definition of ‘essential’.

I have had the text too. I was due to collect on Friday. I feel sure replying no will not result in deallocation since (I presume) both parties still want the transaction to happen. Just the small matter that we cannot collect and Tesla don’t have the capacity to deliver. In fairness to them I have to admit it would be unreasonable to expect them to do so. Damn.
