Hello all,
I've found this forum very helpful in making my purchase so I though I'd share my order and also some things I've learnt which might help others.
Purchased M3 Performance with FSD in solid black with white interior.
Ordered 2nd Aug 2020, due to collect 3rd Sept 2020.
I've not arranged the home charger yet but was quoted £240 for separate fuse board with Type B RCD plus £420 labour from a Tesla approved installer. So £660 total + I'd need to buy the charger itself. If anyone has any feedback on that price it would be appreciated.
A few things I've learnt so far:
1. Used online banking for payment and did only part today due to payment limit. I was advised multiple payments is totally fine.
This then showed up as received on my Tesla account by the afternoon under Completed tasks > the 'show details' under Payment method.
So for those who want to make sure the bank details are correct you could just send a small amount and wait for it to show up as received. Normally these days you can enter account details and then online banking will tell you if the account holder matches the recipient you entered but with Tesla's account this does not work. Checked this with Tesla and it's due to it being an international account apparently.
2. Tesla won't put the private plate on but if you email
[email protected] they will arrange to have the private plate printed ready for you to fit it after you've filled in the DVLA form online after the V5C arrives.
3. I'm having it machine polished and ceramic coated by a company which has done quite a few Teslas at a cost of £1,400. The ceramic coating comes with a 9 year warranty. We'll see how that goes and if it turns out to be good value for money or not.
