The phone key bit might have to be done later, I am sure I have read that lease orders normally take a while for vehicle to show on app?

Definitely didn't spend about 30 minutes changing all the settings after checking the car
+1 for changing to hold. Makes driving so much easier
For when it offers you to set up your online Tesla profile (to keep your settings in cloud / between cars) in the car.. make sure you copy the settings from your in-car profile you've spent time setting up. It's a one time prompt, so when you get excited and click add, and subsequently spend 20 minutes figuring out where your seat was..
Plenty of new RWD in stock on Tesla website. Seems to be a huge push this quarter. Hopefully everyone will get a car.
Sent updated odometer reading 2 Nov as requested. Trade in value received 11 Nov.
£7000 below purchase price 3 years ago. Current price +£9500 so £16500 difference
Waiting delivery date EDD still Dec 16 - 27
Wow there's bloody loads! Never seen so many
I imagine lots of cancellations with the way things are at the moment in the world and UK in particular.
Same! I wish this was the same during Q3 while I was waiting. I’ve not seen so many either ever.
I asked earlier this week about an inventory RWD and they said no to me suggesting I have to wait for my particular order. Guess they want to bank the additional £6k more
The existing inventory orders for 2023 models aren't actually landed in the UK yet either, despite showing in various locations away from the ports.

E new car needs to calibrate it's sensors and cameras before any of the TACC or Autosteer can be used. Takes about 20 minutes of driving. When I got my first M3, bearing in mind I'd never driven one before (2020 and COVID prevented test drives), I just took the first drive home getting used to it, with no fiddling in settings
True but these settings still default to off iirc and it might be something they wish to use once calibrated.
I’d say it’s worth spending time in the settings and with the manual ideally. A lot easier to get used to something if you know what to expect.
Yes, I'd read the manual online before I went to get the car. Also "touchless collection" in 2020 meant the Tesla lady ripping off the edge of the plastic packet that the key cards were in and holding it at arm's length, for me to reach in and take them out. Followed by "the car's over there, have a look around and let me know when you're setting off". Don't expect anyone to talk you through any controls, accessories, etc - you're on your own.....
They don't tend to give you a trade in value until they have assigned you a car or know you have a delivery date as it's only valid for month. So if they value it now, but your car isn't going to be delivered untill 20th Jan. They will need to do another valuation nearer the time. So they just wait now.
In terms of Tesla and PCP. Yes they will sort it out. If the blue of the trade in is let's say 40k. And your remaining balance including balloon payment is 20k. Tesla will clear your PCP liabity and deduct your deposit from the 20k. And return the rest to you. So if you putting a 10k down payment for a new PCP. You currently have 20k left on the car and the car is worth 40k.
Then you should get 10k back. If that makes sense.

The tradein values Tesla have been offering have fallen recently. No doubt due to the reduced demand, and increased output from the factories. Whether that realignment is finished or not is uncertain. But demand will continue to soften as folk tighten their belts, interest rates rise etc. Tesla output is rising and China demand is falling, and low cost electric car alternatives are arriving. Tesla demand is still strong in wealthy western economies. For the UK though I would take a pessimistic view on second values over the next six months. They may well fall further. More than £400/month? Hard to say, but maybe. If it was me I would take the hit now, because you are then in a known scenario.
Tesla will be in contact with you via text to tell you when then will be delivering, on my text there was no choice, just it will be delivered on this day. I however agreed to this then went on chat and changed to collection for the same day as the collection point is only 10 minutes from me.
I've had a text with:
Tesla Action Required - You've chosen your payment method as cash for your Model 3. If you plan to use another payment method, such as third-party lending, please ask your lender to send your invoice request to [email protected]. We require payment 7 days in advance of your collection. Failure to do so will result in a delay to your collection.
Still no collection date yet though....

Also if anyone is interested...this isn't an option. Apparently the cars for inventory aren't even in the UK yet and are still on a boat somewhere so nothing to be gained by transferring everything to an inventory order.
