You can definitely delay Tesla by a week (I actually managed a touch longer as was on holiday when they suddenly said car ready!) so I'd at least do that to give EST a bit more time.

I feel your pain. It is very stressful. How can you arrange to collect a car when the goalposts on the funds being available are constantly changing. My application still says my invoice is with the dealer even though they told me it was verified on Friday last week. I have no idea what day of 10 I am on as they told me day 3 yesterday but no status update.
On another point. The DD says it will be taken form your bank on the 15th of each month! That is a terrible date. Does anyone know if it can be changed?

Interesting, I find it generally pretty smooth (except when it suddenly aborts lol). Agree re the need to get used to feathering the throttle - it's amazing how quickly you adapt to it though, was really weird to be in an ICE hire car recently and have to get used to actively braking again!
I phoned this morning, first thing, just to check when the funds would be sent. A very helpful chap went away, investigated and then said all the checks were done and it would be in Thursday or Fridays payrun and it would take 3 to 5 working days to get to my account.. not a lot of good for a Monday pickup.
So I phoned the bank to try to arange some emergency funds to keep the Monday pickup,( I've already bought the train tickets and a week later than that I'll be in Denmark) I got an appointment for tomorrow. they asked me to ask EST for an email confirmingwhen the money would be sent.
I phoned the EST back and explained the situation. The young lady went away and checked as before, but came back with a completely different answer. I was on day 5 of 10 there were a couple of s,all checks to do, so it would be another working 5 days before the money was sent and could be another 5 working days till I received the money.
These phone calls were literally 15 minutes apart!! How can you get such differing answers in such a short time?
Fingers crossed for tomorow

This was back in September - I emailed [email protected] immediately after I received the delivery appointment on the Friday (it was a couple of weeks earlier than they previously said it would be). No reply by Monday so sent a further chaser email and received a response from the Edinburgh delivery team.
I have phoned and delayed my Friday pick up (this Friday) for a week.
EST has changed to “claim being checked” this afternoon. As mentioned before, I sent invoice to them last Monday (6 or 7 working days ago). Mixed messages today as to where I am with the 10 day thing.
Hopeful the extra week will allow them to finish the claim and get the funds transferred over.

My status has changed today to 'Claim being checked'
Depending on your bank. It should forecast after 1-2 days. heck your available balance as it might show as available but not on your account yet.
I assume they are using BACS which is why it takes so long to clear but in this day in age they should be able to use Faster Payments. When I financed a car with carfinance24x7 a few years ago after the finance went through I got a text to say my funds had been approved and they hit the dealers account that day.
Sorry to hear that Chanser.
I've given up on my pickup next Monday and just informed Tesla. The bank wouldn't issue an overdraft unless the had a fixed repayment date.. payment before a certain date wouldn't do..even though the loan is coming from a goverment organisation.. However the bank manager may be a convert and wants to see the car when I do get it
.I'm now on day 6, worst case scenario so on that basis I should have the car by the 24th. if they keep it for me.
