Model Y UK Delivery

[Raj_G]

For people trade in an EV car, do you need to include a charger?

I am trading in my model 3. They have asked me to return both the charging cable and the 3 pin plug charging cable too.

So have all the previously ordered MYP's been delayed until "Late 2022" due to Belin?

If so what are the chances we'll get 4680 cars?

 

[Tally Ho]

Regarding a towbar. Is that something Tesla will offer after purchase or do we source ourselves (without invalidating our warranty)?

Got a text this morning asking me to select a delivery date and finalize payment.

March 16 morning at Trafford centre

Payment was all dealt with and had a -$ amount.

Now to see how it works out.

They have texted me the RN number yesterday. Would it mean that it would be a 71 Plate car? Didn't expect it this soon as I wish to have a 22 plate in March . I haven't paid yet(other than the £100 booking fee)

It’s not clear if all YP’s have been delayed until ‘late 22’ or just those from when the date slipped. Still some uncertainty regarding when Berlin will start production. They should of already, so it’s possible all YP’s to the UK could be delayed. Order books in other countries earmarked for cars from Berlin have been open longer, so the UK will be last to be fulfilled.

The plate is when you collect or there abouts. Have you a collection date or just a rn?

If you are picking up the car in March then it will have a 22 plate. The pick up date is when the car is registered by Tesla.

Thanks UrbanSplash and Judgeji.
Its just RN. I booked only in early Jan 2022 , expecting a waiting time of at least 6 months and a 22 plate.
So , if I keep quiet now and make payment only by March, I should get a 22 plate?

Offered direct delivery at home, on 4th March, instead of Bluewater collection. Does anyone have any experience with this type of delivery from Tesla? I am concerned that if there is anything wrong with the car like usb ports not working, paint issue, etc, there is no support from Tesla. I appreciate any input as I am in panic mode about this delivery.

Hi I have the same concern and spoke to Tesla CS yesterday. They told me the delivery people are 3rd party and won’t have any knowledge of the car apart from how to get it off the delivery vehicle. They told me to check it thoroughly and make sure u read the manual in terms of how to drive it. If there’s any problems, call them and they’ll sort it. Reading a few threads here Tesla seem to be good in sorting problems from delivery/pick up. They told me how much battery my car has and told me someone woukd call that morning to finalise details - delivering it to my home isn’t an option because of access to I’ll arrange to meet them somewhere. Does that help?

If you ordered a Y in Jan, if you’re in the UK, it would of been for delivery in March. If you’ve not had a date range given, or have a VIN, it’s likely you now won’t take delivery before March. It will come sometime in March and be a 22 plate.

No need to panic. Regardless of how you get your car, if there are issues you simply log them in the Tesla app and they get sorted. Unless of course there is something fundamentally wrong and you don’t want to accept delivery. If that’s the case don’t sign for it.

From experience picking up from a Tesla location, they are pretty keen to get rid of you. You can log issues with them, or do it when you get home and have had a good look at the car.

Looks really nice. Congratulations. Wish Tesla does something about those horrible front number plate frames.

Stickies would be better. I'm having mine removed when I cover it.

 

[Georgeinrhu]

A question for anyone trading in or who has traded in an ICE car with Tesla before. Is there a minimum amount of petrol that needs to be left in the tank? Ideally I'd like to drift in with 1 mile of petrol left (I consider this pay back for the Parcel Shelf, and Tesla aren't paying me for the petrol, just the car) but obviously I understand that there may be a minimum amount stated somewhere that I haven't seen...

I suppose if your happy with you MY having a range of 10 miles when you pick it up?

Tesla. Book in and they will fit.

[LOVO]

Anyone got advice on how to deal with the screw holes when fitting a front stick-on plate?

 

[Tony Hoyle]

I just covered them with the plate.

I'm planning to fill holes with this if I go down the route of stick on plates: Holts LOYCAT13 Cataloy Knifing Putty Tube, 100 g : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive

Being my first Tesla and electric car, I think I would be keen to be at the Tesla center rather. Also my road is narrow and a truck with cars will not go through. Not keen to get it in the middle of a road either. However main issue for me is timing. As I would need to know ahead when the car will be delivered in order to clear my outlook even for 1hr. I think they should be able to provide either a morning or afternoon estimation.
Will call them today to see if collection can happen another day.
