Model Y UK Delivery

[foxtru]

US waited a year before the 7 seat option was available. Maybe they want to get settled into production more and service the main initial demand before fragmenting the versions more?

I think that it is most likely a regulation and compliance issue for UK and EU.

I'm picking up my dark blue MY in Glasgow on Tuesday. I was in the US last week and took the opportunity to visit a Tesla showroom outside Denver. They had about a dozen models, all different colours etc. I thought it looked fantastic, better than I had imagined it would, the 'trunk' bigger than I expected too tbh. It was really quite exciting as folks were turning up to collect cars etc. Insurance sorted via Direct Line - a total pita - I'm buying mine through my company and I could find nobody to even quote. A quick phone call to Tesla (tbh it wasn't that quick) and they explained they could put "care of 'my name'" on the V5 and that did the trick. £620 for 3 drivers including me with a claim and me and the missus with a smattering of SP30's. Not too bad. Now trying to hunt down all weather mats, not a simple process particulary as I have just anounced a self proclaimed embargo on items from China - a tad ironic given where the car is coming from!!

Mine is being delivered on March 10th - just had the number plate through... LF22

It'll be swapped for a private plate anyway but thought I'd share for info.

Can anyone tell me how to apply a trade-in estimate?

I have a confirmed order with delivery date mid March.

I have an email trade-in estimate from Tesla I am happy with. It says to apply the trade-in, go to your Web account, choose trade-in and update mileage and pictures.

When I do that it just starts another trade-in estimate process, as though I hadn't already gone round that loop.

I just replied to the email (from [email protected]) to add it back to my account/RN after I removed it by accident..

Thanks, I would like to explore my trade in option as initially i said no, so I can order quicker

The stupidity is they could have fitted all MY with the towing support bar as standard, and you then buy the bespoke tow ball and Tesla enable electronics if required. Makes it an easy option for those that want to fit bike racks.

As i understand the support bar and electrics are there, you're paying for the 'bespoke ' tow ball. Bdqm.

The China factory isn't making 7 seater variants of the MY for any country yet.

But we can get more seats installed later, right?

No otherwise it would be advertised

Then why can Americans order it? Configurable from order page

Doubtful. Besides, unless you’re putting children there the third row seats aren’t usable.

The one thing you do apparently get with the 7 seat version is second row seats that move forwards.

 

[MrT3]

because their cars aren't made in China.

I imagine the China factory is geared up to produce as may vehicles as possible, and one way to achieve that is to not offer many options, especially as they batch build rather than build to order like most other manufacturers.

Maybe once the MY is introduced to all countries and the initial surge of orders is out of the way they may offer more options - or the extra factories in US, Germany and China will allow it.

But the 7 seat MY is a compromise too far IMO anyway - best to steer clear. (start at 8 mins)

It seems possible UK will never get 7 seat version.

Have any of last weeks new owners paid the £1.5k for the acceleration boost yet?

I do wonder if this thread ever sees those who've got their Model Ys

That is what I thought but isn't what they say, or maybe not the way I read it

My information came from staff @ Glasgow. I suppose removing the access plate will be the definitive answer.

Apparently read on the Facebook model Y page, someone had there model Y in this week to install the tow bar. Service had the car for 4 hours to fit the tow bar but apparently they had the wrong part so he has to come back in to get it redone. So it sounds like the tow bar hasn't been installed.
