Just got a text from Tesla...

[Adambirch]

Hey Everyone,

Just got a text from Tesla Delivery Team (+49 number???) asking to confirm that I am paying cash and if I have a trade in.

Does this mean that something is happening with my order or is this standard? I haven't got a SC VIN or any documents past the initial order ones.

Thanks,
Adam

Who knows what it means, probably not even Tesla do! I would certainly say it's not a bad thing though what spec have you ordered?

That's very true! I have ordered LRAWD White/White with Tow for West Drayton but hasn't been that long since I ordered (25/8) so was very surprised to hear anything.

Mine have all come from a +41 (Switzeraland) and they have not been when Tesla said they would. They say you will get a text when the car leaves USA then when it reaches Europe, and I got neither of these. However I do have a delivery date, 9 weeks after ordering the car.

They will send you some texts and call to confirm details of your order.

Once confirmed and "locked in" (their words), thats when the radio silence commences

Still can't believe the website says estimated delivery of September!

Surely that's some sort of false advertising!

IANAL but the word "estimate" and the fact that it's not in an "advert" probably gets them off the hook. They also only probably need to deliver 1 ordered in Sept car actually in Sept to prove their estimate.

Just had the exact same text about 30 minutes ago, from a +49 number as well.

Ordered 21st of August, White/White, Performance.

I asked about an ETA as well but they didn't have any updates

I have had several texts and a couple of phone calls from Tesla since ordering my Raven X in mid - August, basically asking me to confirm various things (no trade in, cash buyer, delivery centre, etc). However I know that I shouldn’t expect delivery before end October at the earliest based on what the Edinburgh team tell me, despite the website saying different, so I think these contacts from Tesla are simply part of their mysterious process!

IAAL (never used that before...) they cannot be sued because it is considered "mere puffery" - a statement which clearly should not be relied on because it is so clear, to a reasonable person, that it completely untrue.

Also, as others have pointed out, no year is stated!

We will just have to carry on living in hope something will appear eventually aha

Do you have a SC Vin yet?

 

[tsh2]

I wonder if they are trying to check if the recent orders are speculative or not. They haven't got to me yet, so either there is a time delay or loads of orders over the bank holiday weekend (my order was 27/8).

Did you get a phone call to confirm shortly after you ordered?

Nope, had an email from the Bristol store the day I ordered but apart from that nothing else until this today.

 

[Fullerene]

ahh - they might have been chasing up what was always a phone call (in August orders) asking to confirm similar information.

Hopefully this is a start to getting the process moving a bit quicker - well done Elon...

We can hope! I ordered on 25/8 so still got a while to wait!

Ive had a couple of missed calls from Denmark 0045 56 123456 in last week or do. I assume its a scam (very dodgy looking number) and nothing to do with Tesla - I'm the backup communication on the account and primary contact has heard nothing so it would be very poor form if it was Tesla. Whilst they leave an answer phone message, its just some undecipherable screeching followed by some equally undecipherable background talking.

Suspect its just a boiler room scam doing the rounds, but thought I would mention it in case it was important.
