Sorry but you cannot do this. When you take a personal reg off a car you will be given a reference number for the retention of the number you have just removed, you can use this reference number to immediately assign that retained number onto another vehicle assuming that you have the V5 document for the new target vehicle. But in relation to the car you have just taken the personal reg from (they call it the donor vehicle) you have to wait until you get the new V5 (3-5 days) in the post as you need the reference number printed on the front of the new V5 in order to assign a new personal reg to that vehicle.I don't need to trade in the car. I just want to swap my wife's personalised plate for mine. I was hoping I could do this in one go rather than spread out over two weeks. Any ideas?
The online form let's you do it but I'm wondering if I'll be in a world of pain for the old personalised plate

I don't think you can do this because you need to enter the "Document Reference Number" at the top right of the V5 to do the transfer. If you had a new Tesla but did not yet have the V5 I'm not sure how you could have got this to work!Not sure about that, in the sense that when I got the latest Tesla I did the online re-assignment to change the plate (from the retention document I had).
I did not have the V5 for the new, target, vehicle at that point ... although it is possible that DVLA had already "sent" it, so their system might have assumed it was sent. But that might also mean that you can allocate to a car where DVLA has not yet actually sent the corrected V5
