Hi, I've ordered mine through NHS Fleet too, it took roughly 2 weeks from me signing the lease to me receiving my RN number. Just be careful on what delivery date the lease company have requested as the preferred. Its resulted in a delay for me as tesla will look to allocate a vehicle on this date which is different to a delivery date.
My experience with Knowles so far hasn’t been great.

I was 3 working days from "ordering through lease company website" to getting my RN from Tesla. Your lease company are sitting on the order and causing unnecessary delays.Hi,
Yes, my fear is that they say the vehicle has been ordered but essentially they are just sitting on the paperwork. I have tried to chase them but I am told that it is normal to have to wait up to 4 weeks for RN. From what I understand it’s actually better to place the order yourself and pay £100 deposit then ask lease company to take it on. However, there will still likey be delays with them doing it that way. Essentially i’m at the mercy of the lease company now until I get the RN number
yeah this was me, current lease finishes 14th October and I asked for the new one on the 15th October back in May. Its been on hold since!! Managed to get it moving again on Monday but its looking like October allocation and November delivery for me. Confirmed by Tesla yesterday and this months orders will be in the next quarter - unless a cancellation/change is matched. Fingers crossed
Yes, that’s not a great experience then. I was hoping that at the very least the order would be live and awaiting allocation by now. At the very least it gives you a chance to get in on a lucky cancellation. At this rate I can’t see me getting an RN until the end of Sept so I would say the chances of that happening for me are very slim
I think you'll be fine and will be in the same boat soon. The RN was relatively quickYes, that’s not a great experience then.

The Vanarama deal is £458 on a 47+9 on 10m miles but the really good bit appears to be that it includes a free home charger and a years free insurance. Those are the bits I want to find a bit more about.
Free insurance is for 2 drivers and the free charger is the £900 one from ChargedEV
Our M3 LR was an order through Knowles on an NHS salary sacrifice deal. Huge number of variables, of course, but for us there was a 2 1/2 week gap between Knowles having completed everything and the fleet company (VW) actually placing an order with Tesla. Four days after *that* we had a text from Tesla containing the RN number.
Just to be clear, the delay was caused by VW rather than Knowles. And I was told that even Knowles apparently don't have a phone number for VW Leasing, so they are forced to do everything by text - and don't always get an answer! (My main contact at Knowles - he always replies quickly by email - sounded quite exasperated.)
What car have you ordered? LR or P you’ll get a year premium connectivity free, but lease deals usually continue this at no cost as Tesla haven’t worked out how to charge the driver for premium connectivity and not the owner of the car (Zenith).
I have a SR+, it was all working yesterday from trying for the first time so not overly sure
You will get basic autopilot free.
Hi mate, you’ve got a VIN so you’ve been allocated. I thought Zen had bought loads of Tesla’s for 71 plate registration to be honest?
Yeah part of the reason why i went with them was because they said it was in stock. Still hopeful it can be delivered this month. Thanks for the point about the VIN, I'll give Tesla a call to find out.
