Yeah it won’t affect your delivery date tbh cause you might change your mind to cash or pcp etc.

Hello 
I’m joining this hangout if I may. Ordered 1st July so don’t have my hopes up for anything in 2022!
Currently have a Renault Zoe since 2018 so not new to EV’s.
I’ve ordered M3 White Black Aero via my employers salary sacrifice scheme.
I had tried to order a new Zoe but fleet were slow to place the order and when they went to do it only base spec was available which I didn’t want so took it as a sign to go for my dream car!! Interestingly there was ‘only’ £100 pcm difference - £25 effectively per week for a Tesla - seemed a no brainer to me.
Think I’ll be on this forum a while - EDD April- June 2023

It's annoying how the EDDs of the LR are coming forward and none of us have seen a single move. It's a shame their customer service is so poor that we can't get a single meaningful update apart from the usual "lockdown affected orders"
Yep. RWD is deffo at the back of their list now for priority. They probably have the smaller profit margin on the RWD so will not be in any rush to make them over the LR and P

Believe me, I am not trying to freak anyone out at all, but I suspect a Tesla reservation does not actually constitute a contract … I seem to recall some precedence for non-delivery of Teslas in the dark recesses of my mind …
If they cancel my order then I'll be expecting a LR at the original price pre price rise
I'll have to read the terms and conditions though to see what the small print saysI have no doubt the car will turn up. Just a long wait for it. Ultimately I think keeping a cheaper Tesla option is needed to push EV purchases to the wider population. In my opinion Tesla should be trying to reduce the Costs as much as possible to make it more appealing. Majority of people don’t go out and spend 60k on a car
But the other thing that doesn't make sense is people in Ireland having Aug/September EDDs but not the UK. You'd think if they were producing RH RWDs they'd send some to the UK too since we got practically none in Q2, however our EDDs suggest Q3 won't be any better...
Only thing I can think of is that lease companies etc have ordered thousands of cars which they're prioritising over single orders
yeah it’s odd that they don’t just keep the RWD production running and clear a load of back log. But again I’m taking the EDD with a pinch of salt, I’ve seen some peoples EDD showing october/November and suddenly get a call for collection in june
They sell 2 to 3 times as many LRs compared to RWD, so perhaps they should clear the back log on that first? All the M3s are constrained.
Hmm but there are people with LR orders from March onwards getting narrow EDD in August so the back log can't be that big.
I went for a test drive in Leeds this morning on this glorious sunny day.
Absolutely loved it - except when I was indicating the indicators wouldn’t go off. A chap at the traffic lights shouted over to me to tell me and I had to shout back ‘I’m just having a test drive I don’t know what I’m doing
’
Made my Renault Zoe (which I thought was fast) feel like a bag of plastic spanners afterwards

I would say take the edd with a pinch of salt too. They move around so much and you may get a pleasant surprise.
There are definitely positives, one I constantly remind myself of is saving £5,500 on todays price had i stalled on ordering. That is a lot!
And who knows we may get a newer update or feature when they arrive

Apparently the indicators do take some getting used toI went for a test drive in Leeds this morning on this glorious sunny day.

Nope, november - December still for me… I think that date may be accurate now. Can’t see them making any for Q3… unless we have a miracle august-September
