Sorry if I wasn’t clear. I do not get excess cover on any of our cars, but am not trying to say it is a bad decision for someone who may choose to do so.Hmm... It makes sense...

I collect same day as you. Get a quote (you don't need reg number yet) and save the quote. I tried LV who quoted £1097. Tried Churchill and they quoted £539. Both quotes are saved so hopefully when I get reg number I can add and buy it. HTHI've got a collection appointment on 20th Nov but no reg number yet. When does that get assigned? I'd rather buy the insurance sooner before the prices go up.
My LV quotes were ~£450 last month, now they are £850+. Churchill are coming in around ~£460 for me now (with their current 'offer').
It's incredible to see the price hikes. I've saved my quote, so fingers crossed adding my reg number next week doesn't change it.
I collect tomorrow. Not heard anything other than an email on Monday saying I need to 'complete these steps unless I've already done them'. Need to make sure mobile data works on my laptop tomorrow...I've got a collection appointment on 20th Nov but no reg number yet. When does that get assigned?

oh, and a quick question to the masses. does the Model 3 come with a Tracker?
I hate having to do the cancel and switch dance but with insurance, in particular, it seems to be a necessary evil. Just wondering how you go about actually cancelling before signing up again with the same insurer? How do you prevent any gap in coverage I guess is my question?Insurance policies wax and wane when it comes to electric cars. Back in 2014 when we were looking for insurance for our first Model S, Admiral was quoting really low rates - and getting quite a lot of support. Fast forward one year, and their insurance rates sky rocketed (doubling in some cases) - which made it all look like classic "bait and switch".
Another company that was highly recommended was NFU Mutual. But then they gave up on Tesla - at least, they required a £2K excess for theft.
My wife and I have both used LV for the past five years - but beware! Every year they have tried to raise our premiums, despite no claims. So every year we cancel our policies with them, shop online, and sign back up as "new customers", thereby saving quite a bit of money.
fair point. I apologise for not searching prior to asking. my brain said "I'm on a subject about insurance and I was asked by LV if the car had a tracker and I didn't know so I'll just type it here" without engaging any other type of logic.There is a search facility on this forum which may save you time asking questions which have already been answered in future, but the answer is yes it does.
