Model 3 Build Timelines

[aust202]

Afternoon apologies if this has already been covered but I searched and didn't find anything.

I am curious, to see if anyone knows what the general timelines are from getting your RN to getting the actual car and if it is different if you order via a lease vs ordering direct from Tesla?

I ordered a Standard Range plus on 10th October through a salary sacrifice lease company, at the time of the order if i were to have ordered directly from Tesla the estimated delivery date was November, but as of today I still have not been allocated a car. Do they allocate you a car as it comes off the production line? or do they ship a load over to the UK and then go through and allocate the cars as and when they come in?

Thanks for the help, I guess I probably wont have the car until February now.

Thanks

generally when its on the ship.
Most cars are delivered month 3 of a quarter still so if you don't get it this month ( which seems unlikely now) you may well be March

Check inventory perhaps and gee up your lease firm?

Tesla historically had a mad End of Quarter Delivery Push but apparently this cost them a lot of money with Temporary Staff etc. Elon has said that this will no longer be the case going forward so some Deliveries may spill over into January. VINs are allocated once the Car is on a ship so as someone else has suggested it's worth chasing your Lease Company.

When did you get your RN? That is when it was ordered on Tesla - Your employer and the lease company normally faff about for a couple of weeks from when you order it to when Tesla received the order.

I'd also recommend you speak to Tesla to make sure your order isn't on hold. Lease companies sometimes put on a not to be delivered before date on the order which means it is put on hold until that date - you don't get a reserved place.

Thanks for the replies folks, I got my RN 13th October. I did speak to Tesla yesterday and they said that there still hasn't been a car allocated, so who knows when i'll get it. Never mind.

Thanks again.

I feel your pain. I was supposed to be a December delivery but no sign of it so could be weeks away still

I have been advised by my TA that there will be deliveries in February, so it looks like Elons plan to stop the quarter end rush is being initiated. I ordered on 27th November and am in the queue for a February delivery.

 

[MrT3]

@jmhumphreys, there are always deliveries in the second month of the quarter, just not as many as the third month. e.g. in November the Model 3 was the third best selling vehicle in the UK.

My Rn number has gone missing. Is this a sign of something happening?

 

[M1tch]

I ordered mid Nov, picked up 4 weeks later. I guess it depends what’s made, what’s in demand and what’s on the boat.
