Next chapter of my Windscreen saga today:
Tesla estimated the car would be ready today at 1:15pm and surprisingly I got an email at 12:20pm asking me to complete the invoice acceptance and to arrange final payment of £813.30 (glass + 2 wiper blades + VAT) and, just to add a bit of thrilling blackmail into the mix, they had set their own PIN2drive code and would only reveal it on confirmation of payment.
I used my Santander credit card already lodged with Tesla for accessories and supercharging to pay the service bill and had to go to the Santander banking App to approve the big debit. Then I sent a text to Tesla telling them it was paid and a reply text from Tesla followed giving me the code.
A friend gave me a lift to Winchester and it was a simple case of getting in the car, putting the new PIN to drive then drive back home.
At home I found I couldn't put my own PIN back in until I googled for help. Turns out you do a 'lost PIN' from the PIN pad screen, enter your Tesla account credentials and the PIN is cleared for you to add your own again. I wonder if PIN reset would have worked if I hadn't paid?
It was a really simple pleasure to drive back home with a crystal clear windscreen and the rain i encountered was wiped away streak-free.
I used autopilot for some of the journey and found it was erring a little right of road centre but needed no "learning" time to use.
I'm not sure I can take the hassle of attempting reimbursement from Churchill. Phoning them is painful for me as I have to go through UK Relay, as I'm deaf, and they often have timing problems relaying the phone menu options to me (after the over-long holding time) before the menu system times out and drops the line on you. My last attempt to contact Autoglass dropped the line before I could select a menu option.
