Yes! I ordered LR AWD (my reservation and order info. is in my signature below).
My 'Manage/Order" page hasn't progressed at all from 7 days after placing my order. Crappy trade-in offer and registration info all updated ok, however, even though the HP agreement was approved by Black Horse, the page still states/shows the "Submit Credit Application" button. Also, the Edit Design link is still there.
Numerous emails have been ignored, although Tesla did confirm no PCP would be available for Model 3.
Anyway, after hanging on the phone for 40 minutes, I finally got through to the UK delivery team this morning and this is what was said...
The lack of finance confirmation was a problem with the web page but that the back-end information is correct and would not have delayed my delivery/allocation anyway. He confirmed my trade-in offer is optional and would also not affect the delivery date/VIN allocation. I mentioned that I may want to upgrade to the 19" wheels but he confirmed that this was no longer an option, even aftermarket, slightly contradicted by saying 3rd party wheels were always an option. He also tried to persuade me to upgrade my order to the P+ model saying that it would only cost an additional £2k and I could then opt for the 20" wheels (also that the 19" wouldn't fit the P+ model due to the brake callipers). He then conceded that the cost to me would actually be over £5k extra due to the P+ upgrade cost and losing my £900 discount on FSD. However, he was most definitely trying to persuade me to upgrade to the P+ initially.
Insofar as my original delivery date estimate of late June/early July he said that "to be completely honest" it would be more like mid-July at the earliest. He said the early RHD M3 UK vehicles are allocated on the basis of matching built cars to orders based on Order Specs and Order date. He made no mention of reservation date but did say that would be taken into consideration (only after I asked). Sounded like my reservation date counts for nothing. He said my allocated delivery location of Birmingham wouldn't make any difference to me (unless it was Edinburgh vs. London for example). - This hasn't seemed to be the case with the late June deliveries though which are focussed on London as far as I can tell - He confirmed I have no VIN/vehicle allocated yet and that most likely my car was either still in the US or only just loaded on a vessel. He said they were matching orders to vehicles once they had departed the US and been on a vessel for about a week, which is when they received the confirmed manifests and he hoped that I may have one on the way. This seems strange to me as I had ordered a LR AWD early on before the option was removed. I also said I was disappointed about not being able to change to the 19", especially as I was initially told this would be possible.
I am just reporting what was said and I know many members here say "you can't trust what the Tesla reps say blah blah blah". For me, it's better than nothing/wondering/speculating... However, any ideas on obtaining the 19" wheels post delivery would be greatly appreciated.
I will update more info as soon as I get it.
@RamsfanJim How are you getting on? Any more news from your point of view. Sounds like we both reserved early but are suffering for our spec choice or order date. When did you place your order?
