Delivery brought forward?

[MrBadger]

Tesla Update - Bad news! Your Model 3 will be arriving later than expected. Your updated estimated delivery window is between 2019 and 2021 in Heathrow. Your invoice will not be available any time soon, please prepare to be disappointed. To unsubscribe from SMS, reply ARGH!.

Just had the following text:

"Tesla Update - Great news! Your Model 3 will be arriving earlier than expected. Your updated estimated delivery window is between 7/8 and 20/8 in Birmingham. Your invoice will be available shortly, please prepare for payment. To unsubscribe from SMS, reply STOP."

Original window was 17th to 24th of August.
Can they get stuff from Zeebruge to Birmingham THAT quickly?

Yes just got that text too... for Heathrow... but no final invoice yet

I also got the text today for Heathrow pick up. No final invoice and no VIN either though.

I wonder how many people do not want the car before September and have to make a decision?

I wanted mine last month so I'll gladly take it before September.

I ordered a P- so am looking at a depreciation hit on that (only paying £500 less than the recently revised P+ price). A late August registration hits residual value vs September so it could be a double whammy for used value vs re-ordering P+ for delivery in a couple of months.

I'm on a P- too... so looking forward to seeing whether we get a cut on the base price (like was reported on one of the FB groups...)

If anyone here get's a final invoice for a P-, pls let us know!!

Poll: August (19) or September (69) Delivery

I ordered the P+ at the new price.

I will be astounded if that actually happens..

If it doesn't happen, go down to the the LR AWD. Its just a software tweak and hopefully stay in the queue and save some money in the process.

I tend to agree - I don't think they will budge.. that's a good extra 1.5 grand profit in their pockets... and we DO have the choice to down grade...

 

[mrjam1e]

Got the text for a Heathrow delivery being brought forward too. I guess we'll see what happens over the next week! Exciting times for us all I think!

 

[andics]

Does anyone have the detailed steps from the final invoice (any difference with PCP)?

I guess once you make the payment and they register the car then how could they reassign it to someone else you don't show ip during the delivery window?

(I am pretty sure you got what I am thinking to do here..)

 

[drivingmrte5la]

With all the waiting around, I’m astounded anyone would actually be bothered about a 69 vs 19 plate?

At this point I would genuinely sell my sell my wife’s soul for even a text.

*wife’s soul not actually for sale**

I have a estimated delivery slot of 25/08-01/09 from Birmingham. Ordered P+ on 1 July 19. Tesla have sent a revised order agreement with the revised lower rate

 

[m-i-l]

Got this one too today, for London Heathrow (text sent to my secondary contact landline despite my preference been primary contact email, but hey). Didn't get the earlier one, and don't have the final invoice yet (but last update took a day or two to reach the web site).

Funny they say "Your Model 3 will be arriving earlier than expected" when they'd told me to expect it in June!

Let me know if you find info on this strategy. I am not really motivated by a 69 reg bit simply by hols constraints and won’t tolerate to go back in the queue after 3+ year of wait!

 

[interbear]

Mine is now 7-20 August, the latter half of which works fine for me. I couldn’t care less about 19 v 69 plate to be honest, so when it’s ready for collection I’m going to pick it up!

I don't see the point in giving away effectively 4 months of depreciation to get a car in the last week of August. Obviously doesn't matter for those leasing or planning to keep the car for 10 years, but it will hurt those selling on in 2-3 years time. If I could have had a car in June or July then fine, but late August they can forget it! I've waited years for this thing to arrive, so waiting another week or two isn't going to matter. I reckon they will get loads of September registration requests now it's getting close.

If anyone wants to give up their spot in line for September plates I’ll happily jump the queue...
