I’ve locked my VIN in a lead box and buried it under 3 feet of concrete in an unmarked location. There’s no way they’re gonna take my VIN back.

Incidently, I also got the sign off on my Scottish Resident zero interet loan yesterday as well...
Very excited for you! What was the timeline like on the Scottish loan? We’ve applied and heard someone say that they got it approved on the 15th working day, just on the edge of the estimate.
We’re only 10 working days in just now, so time to go I suppose.
Tesla too apparently, there were enough White in the first batch (manufactured before order book opened) that later orders got lucky
Those of us, like me, who are new to Tesla and new to this forum are, I think, shocked at how utterly inefficient Tesla's back office operation is. Those who have been familiar with Tesla for years seem to have been ground down into recognising it as normal and even almost acceptable.
We're into the second half of July and the website is still indicating August delivery. As an experiment I've just phoned three Service Centres (I won't name and shame), told them that I'm interested in the M3 and is it true, as the website indicates, that I'll get the car in August? The first bloke I spoke to said there was no chance of August, and delivery would be in September or more likely October. The second bloke said there is a huge backlog of UK orders and if I was lucky I'd get the car by the end of the year. The third bloke said there are two vehicle carriers coming over in the next few weeks with zillions of M3s, and if the website says August then I'll get a car in August.
The most amusing thing is that none of them said "I'm not sure but . . . .". They all spoke with absolute certainty as if they knew exactly what they were talking about. Which, of course, they don't. Or, at best, one is right and two are wrong!

Agree, over the phone I was supposed to have an early July delivery ;-) but i dont see that happening before late Aug ...and that assumes I dont change anything in the meantime, especially after these new changes and dis-continuance of the P- etc..Top tip: totally ignore website delivery estimates and make the assumption that none of the uk sales staff know any more than what is discussed on these forums and quite probably less! Some of the delivery team would know a little more, but often not until the last minute.

As you say I dont see this getting better before the backlog is caught up...

But it has been like this for years. There is an outside chance that Tesla have no idea that it is bad ... personally I think the chance of that is zero.
But unless there happens to be a fix coming imminently (and it hasn't appeared in the 3 years I have owned mine) then you've got two choices:
Put up with it
Go elsewhere
No other suggestion I can make.
So the issue is, do we raise awareness so that potential customers can prepare themselves or do we try and cover up the chaos?
Erm, I think you'll find only a minuscule percentage of potential Tesla owners read this- or any - Tesla forum. I have a reservation for 3.5 years, and only seen this forum in the part few months. 99% of potential owners will have no clue about Tesla customer service. They will have seen the press, the reviews, the hype and will go on to the website and see August delivery - and place an order. In think it is our duty as Tesla supporters to correct the misinformation and prevent more disappointed customers.Is 12 pages and other multiple threads not enough awareness yet? That and the obvious demand backlog after waiting 3 years for uk launch. Only someone newly arrived from Mars would be unaware of the delivery situation at present.
