MSLR order since Feb '21 (NL). Still a complete guess when they will deliver, latest comms are beginning of December but they have been announcing and postponing delivery for the past 1.5y now.. Guessing they will ship LHS models to mainland Europe first and deliver RHS model UK much later.
You put in your order early last week? Oh then you don't have to worry about anything.
I genuinely feel really sorry for you driving a new S with the yoke on the tight roads there. Whenever I’m back (home) in London I’m glad my car isn’t there. Just will be awful (in my humble opinion). You sure you want to put yourself through yoke + roundabouts + tight maneuvers?
Yes you’re right. I ordered a Plaid last week and the site was saying estimated delivery September-October and when I got an updated EDD a few days ago, it went from September-October to November 17 - January 12. So it is quite possible that I will end up with the 2023 model.
That would be nice. I would like to be able to enjoy the car before the Maine winter sets in. Tesla’s history with delivering my cars timely is not great, though. The shortest wait I’ve had was my Model 3 last year which took exactly 60 days from order to delivery. So I feel a bit deceived despite the date range just being an estimate.
Narrowed a little more, now EDD 9/9-9/29, no VIN yet and 3 days left until entering the EDD
I enter my delivery window tomorrow (9-7 through 9-28). Lets see what happens tomorrow morning. This ish is getting old.
They told me they no longer allow order holds like they used to. So when you’re assigned a VIN, just don’t accept it and request a 2 week hold, but that’s it.
Is it that much of a compromise? I see Model 3 and Y in UK having a yoke mod, perhaps I should have a chat with some of those guys?
I think it is, yes. I firmly believe most owners are in denial when it comes to the yoke, or live in Tucson, Arizona where all the roads are open, wide, and straight. The idea of a yoke on London roads is literally (and I mean literally) hysterical to me. If I desperately wanted a new Model S and still lived in the UK I’d have a third-party steering wheel ready to be installed day 1.
It's definitely a personal preference thing. There's plenty of twisty and narrow mountain roads around where I live, and after driving the S with the yoke for a few hours it was easy to settle into.
Actually saw your previous post. Was a text or saw in the app?
Were you checking the source code on the account page prior to that? If so, did it show up early? I assume it did not.
