I ordered a Model 3 on May 1st at 8am, just after the website started allow you to do this. The stated delivery time was 'June'.
The model ordered is a LONG RANGE, DEEP BLUE METALLIC car.
I've been given a Reservation number (RN1093......).
I have a few questions:
- is delivery really likely to be June?
- when Tesla opened orders on May 1st, would there have been a ship with multiple RHD Model 3s already out at sea, past the Panama canal, and heading to UK shores?
- Would the ship have had multiple examples of all Model 3 configurations (approx 100 cars covers all available options)?
- How long would the UK waiting list have been roughly?
- How many RHD models are being shipped (it says 3,000 a week to Zeebrugge)?
- At what port do Tesla ship RHD models? Presumably not Zeebrugge but direct to a UK port (Felixstowe? Thames Gateway?)
- in the heyday of the Model S, cars seemed to be shipped to Europe without engines and batteries fitted, and would be 'finished' in Tilburg, Netherlands. It seems to me that this is no longer the case, and that Model 3s are rolling off ships (which suggests batteries and engines are in!).
Any help welcome!
