From the website:
Somebody else will pick up my Tesla on my behalf. What should they bring?
They should bring a power of attorney letter and copy of your passport or identification card to the delivery appointment. If you are financing your Tesla via a Tesla leasing or lending, the person listed on the agreement has to be present at the point of delivery.

The website does indeed say: (and some other stuff which is clearly non-UK)
I've picked up 5 cars over the years ... never once been asked for ID, let alone photo-ID (but same gender might help!), nor asked for proof of insurance, and they made up a Cherished Number Plate for me without seeing any proof of that either ...
But ...

Someone on here recently posted what looked like their name and collection details. I'm going to go along an hour early and pickup their car 
- It seriously looks that easy from what we experienced. So Speedyranger, you better get there early or hope my trains are on strike...
joke... well the bit about nicking some else's car is.
Seriously, I would go a long with relevant ID and letter of authorisation including insurance with you as named driver. If you don't want to be up front, the only thing that may tip them off is you are not female. Hopefully they won't notice or mind. Worse that can happen is you go away empty handed and need to rearrange.

People working in Tesla delivery centres aren't hired for their powers of observation based on what they seem to hand over to customers. You could probably waltz up in a dress with her drivers licence and no one would notice. If you have a beard just trim it a bit I'm sure you'll be fine

I did
, but Jasons post doesn't - there is just the assumption that you might have a beard - plenty of women do so no gender assumption

Tesla needs to have a way to assure that the person picking up the car is entitled to do so.
Don't want just anyone coming in off the street claiming they are picking up a car for someone else.
A notarized power of attorney is cheap and easy.

My ID was never checked, however the very fact that I was beeping the horn from my phone like a child seemed to satisfy the Tesla dude that I was the correct pratt.

The purchase of our CPO (used) car was done through my wife (it's her car) but I was able to bring our trade-in and collect the Tesla as she was working that day. It's by arrangement so talk to them and explain the situation.

I did
Well to be fair it does kind of imply. Having teenage daughters who act like I dropped the N bomb these days if I so much as accidentally mis-gender someone I am aware that I am now dangerously non PC. But being the dinosaur that I am ,despite releasing the possibility of a faux pas, I thought the comedy value was worth the risk. And if I judged that wrong and get driven from the forum in disgrace I will live with the consequences (say hello to Jason72

Nobody ever said life was going to be easy ... I've lived with beardism most of my adult life ...
“Did you just assume my gender?!”
My unhelpful post was said in complete jest, to be used as a tool to throw any particularly thorough Tesla employee off the scent of the imposter.
So you've had 70 previous indiscretions here alone?? Chapeau *applauseWell to be fair it does kind of imply.
