For anyone collecting from Scotland, this has the potential to make things a little trickier:
Covid in Scotland: Sturgeon 'actively considering' travel ban in law
The collection centre at Edinburgh Newbridge is currently Tier 3 (along with most of the central belt). If you're travelling to collect from a Tier 2 or 1 area you may need to prove your journey is essential.
Collecting your Tesla might count as "shopping", which strangely seems to be a valid excuse to enter a higher tier area?
What does Level 2 mean for travel?
There should be no non-essential travel to areas that are at Level 3 or above (or their equivalents elsewhere in the UK). There are exemptions for people who need to travel into, or out of, these areas for essential work, education, shopping or health reasons.

I'm not keen on doing this via public transport though... train/bus and then walk/taxi for the last leg.
I missed a call from Tesla this evening - expect I'll be able to ask about this tomorrow.
Update:
Quote above was from local council. Wording here is more narrow: Coronavirus (COVID-19): guidance on travel and transport - gov.scot
travel for essential shopping only where it is not possible in your local authority area
Seems debatable if a car is essential or not - will depend on family circumstances.
