I’m sat on a saved quote from Admiral that’s valid until the 10th March, however I too am missing the registration. Will be interesting to see what happens when I try to add the registration and pay for it. I’m guessing I’ll need to call and speak with them armed with the quotation reference.

Problem is i'm doing it via a comparison site referral and I can't seem to save the quote at Admirals end...
I did try quoting directly through Admiral and they decided to throw an extra £200 on the price with the exact same details....
God I hate insurance.

I had exactly the same experience. However when I proceeded via GoCompare to try and buy the Admiral insurance without the registration, I was unable to buy it however I did get an email from Admiral with the quote price and reference.

I just went back into it again and I do indeed have the reference number and the bit that says your price is guaranteed for 30 days.
But, if you go the website and try and retrieve a quote, it wants your name/postcode etc and then comes back with a totally different quote (that I tried directly to see if there was any difference) and its much more expensive.
Sigh...I guess i'm just going to have to hope that come the big day, I can phone them up and force them to use the quoted reference that I have.
Either that or I'm seriously considering putting a private plate down (that is currently available to buy because I'm toying with the idea) and then in 2 weeks say, oh hey there was a problem and I lost out on the private reg that I was meant to be getting, so can I just update my details to the standard reg.
I think their admin fees for online changes of vehicle are £9.50?
Which still makes it my cheapest quote by FAR.
Realised that in my quotes I put myself down as registered keeper while leasing company will be it, so went for another quote. Shot up £150! (and changing it back to me as keeper didn't change it) what a con.
I'm just going to use my saved quite of £500 odd and change the keeper. Worst case I'll get charged an admin fee.
Hate insurance so much.

Try running your quote in private browsing mode. There will be some tracking cookie or similar which is affecting your quote values on a re-quote.
All quotes I've looked at have had their excess in the £750-£1000 range. I recently switched from Direct Line (£1000) to Aviva (£750) but then took out Motor Excess Protection with another insurer for ~£30.
Motor Excess Protection Insurance from £24 per year.
Save Money on your Motor Insurance with Excess Protection from £24. £1000 Motor Excess Protection costs only £42. We cover single vehicle, motorbikes, motorhomes, multi vehicle and taxi

Anyone looking at Churchill, remember to call them & mention Autopilot & you will get an additional 5% from an online quote. I'm switching for the forthcoming 1 yr anniversary & they are significantly cheaper than I had with DL, even before the 5%.
I also asked them to add that the car has the acceleration boost & 19" alloys so it's officially recorded as deviating from 'standard' - no problem or impact on the premium & it's recorded in the policy notes.
Having seen a separate thread about questionable 'approved' repair garages & the implication it was DL/Churchill I was informed that if we choose to use a Tesla approved garage that is not on the insurers own list then that's OK but in that case a courtesy car would not be provided by Churchill.

Churchill turned out cheapest for me... "good" well, I'll find out if I have to claim!
Unfortunately you may have missed the boat for best price insurance. If you arrange the deal so close to getting the car you are clearly "over a barrel" and the companies adjust accordingly! 21 days in advance is the recommended period for insuring. You can do this as an agreed quote and give the registration when you have it.
Plate number wasn't recognised
Numberplates aren't actually registered with DVLA until collection day and even then they may not appear in the accessible database until the next day.
You won't be able to use insurer's automated web tools for quotations because the numberplate will not be lookuppable.
Your plate won't be recognised until delivery day. You have been given the registration that it will have when you collect it.Plate number wasn't recognised
Even then it will take a couple of days before you receive the V5.
