Well I have gone ahead and ordered one. If they wont take the RN tomorrow I'm hoping there will be a few weeks at least before I get chased for delivery/ payment. Hopefully by then the leasing guys will be happy to proceed. There can't be too many cars left so wanted to at least to have a chance of securing one before they are all gone for now.
Did you fill out any of the delivery info, trade in stuff etc. on your account or did you just leave it all blank and send of the RN? It says to continue with delviery fill in all the details on your account page?
I didn't-they told me I didn't need to fill any of it out, as the car would still be held in my name. The guy at Tesla mentioned something about putting something in the payment section that confirmed that you are transferring the car over to a lease company, but I couldn't see anywhere to do that, and after phoning again, the Tesla guy said "nah, just leave it-you don't need to do anything now". I'd always give Tesla a ring though if unsure.
I asked them how long they would hold the car, as VWFS aren't good at returning emails at all, so I'm completely in the dark about what they're doing, and Tesla said that it's not really something to worry about massively, but they might give you a ring after a couple of weeks to ask you if you've had contact with your leasing company and if you're still wanting the car. I guess they can't hold it indefinitely (obviously), but I don't think the reservation is massively time-sensitive.
