Hahahahaha, when you've figured out how to do that please let me know
I think I spend every spare minute looking at Tesla stuff ATM, hopefully getting my car in a couple of weeks.

It gets worse once you have the car I'm afraid. You're either driving it or reading/watching/talking about it

Nah, Elon Musk... CEO of Tesla and founder of The Boring Company, he's a true Tesla Bore!
Okay so - I lied. I've been logging on daily to check the status of my car. And yesterday, it gloriously changed to "Your Tesla is currently in production." Whaay-heyy!
So what's the opinion - late Feb ?

Home charging install in hand?
Work charging perhaps?
Not much else you can do really. Read the manual ... again ...

Ooh exciting
. Mine went into production on the 22nd Dec last year and I collected on the 1st March. Mine's an S and I'm in the South East of England. I suspect late Feb is a bit optimistic, I'm not sure how the cars get from Tilburg to Dublin, but it's bound to take longer than to the UK.Your next update should be at the beginning of Jan saying you are en route to the coast.
I cannot contain myself! I'm pretty sure my car is on the Maersk Ohio enroute to Tilburg having left Houston a few days ago. Can I not have it now! This waiting thing is, quite frankly, awful !

Ahh the Long Wait, I remember it well! Well worth it though. Have you had a call from the delivery team yet? Once they know it’s on a ship they can be more accurate with a handover date. Mine was at sea this time last year and I booked for a 1st March collection.
Well worth starting to get some insurance quotes as well, you get a better price for enquiringly early, even though you might not be able to specify the exact risk date or Reg number.
The delivery team informed me that my car was shipped 10th Jan and estimated delivery in the first 2 weeks of Feb. I think it was in production mid December, but can't remember for sure. It may have been a little earlier.
So my status has just changed to "Your Tesla has arrived at the Tilburg Factory in the Netherlands for final assembly. Your Tesla will soon be in transit to your delivery location.".
Excitement level: Fever Pitch.
How many more sleeps do you reckon until I get my grubby little hands on it then ?!

I would have thought you would have been contacted by now, it should only spend a few days at Tilburg before coming across the Channel. I'd get on the phone if it were me, and would be going for the 1st March ish if the new plate is important to you. Sometimes the battery pack is on a different vessel but even so the 1st March sounds about right to me.

I received the 'phone call' yesterday.
Car will be arriving in Tilburg soon and then transported to Stockport.
I should be driving a MS75D on the 16th March
No status change on Tesla SSO though, but; did I say - I have a date?

That journey from Tilburg to Stockport... I'd say it'll be at least July...!
Not sure, but the date I was given is 15th/16th March - I will be opting for the 16th (Friday)

No it's an informal gathering of owners who are shortly to take delivery. They run through a variety of topics, and it's a useful way of meeting a few people who will also be picking up cars very soon. In terms of knowledge if you've been studying Tesla since you ordered and have been reading forums, U Tube vidoes etc then there's a good chance you'll learn very little. I think I knew more than the Service Manager when I had mine
.Nonetheless, even if you pick up only one nugget it's worth a couple hours of your time IMO.
