it’s absolute torture!
it’s a big responsibility (identifying a ship).

Fair point. Could be. Its usually been in the afternoon recently though so I wonder what triggers it and why it would suddenly be early AM
If its fully automated you might expect it to be a job that runs at a fixed time or is it triggered when the ships ETA is T minus X maybe?

quick question - how do you have an EDD when taking a business lease through ALD? Mine disappeared about 2 weeks after ordering when ALD took it over…

VIN assigned!!! (Source code ) September 14 - 28th EDD. Tesla want me to pay the final balance now, really happy
Never have we been so happy to receive a payment demand
If it makes you happy you can pay mineNever have we been so happy to receive a payment demand
Finally got a VIN assigned in source code, base spec, end of April order. EDD updated to September 14 - September 28 (from 1-30th). Just got to sell the old car now…
Is there a guide to how to post your vin without out receiving too much information?

Yeah it’s now that sudden realisation that you need to sell your old car now and sort it all out, 7 days before the EDD or is it 7 days before the delivery date?
I think you can just post the first 3 digits of the string of digits at the end of the VIN. So mine is 448, others 447 etc.
At least, that's what I've seen people do and MrM asks for those ones so basically I'm just being a sheep and don't actually know!

Mine is a 447, is that likely to be a cancellation or one of the newer ones coming over? Looking at this thread and others suggests 448 is the latest
Agree, there's a whole host of realisations now. They were always in the back of my mind but now it's coming up to crunch time:
1. When to pay. I think I know this one, you should do it when you receive your SMS from Tesla confirming delivery, etc. Do a test payment first yada yada.
2. When to insure: Think I know this one too. Get a quote 3 week prior to delivery (hopefully Tesla have SMS'd you with Reg by then). Use comparison sites, and/or ring your trusted insurers (popular ones seems to be Direct Line & Admiral). I'm on Admiral now, if I can get a good deal with them plus a rebate and thrown in a multi to lower the costs, I'll stick by them. I've budgeted £1500 because I'm in London but I've only been driving in the UK for just under 2 years (20 years licence held). Side note: I've also budgeted for an Acceleration Boost but I may have to eat into that budget if my insurance is more than 15 hundy...
and AB will have to wait another month3. When to return my current lease car. I presume when I get a text but timings will be tight I think (and hope). Want to avoid overlap but don't want to be without for too long either. I also discovered a nail in the tire the other day... fml, will need to replace that before handing it back.
4. My partner and I have holidays booked 17-23 September. New EDD from this morning is 14-28 September... If I get the choice, do I pick it up before? After? Do I park it at the airport if before? Soo many juicy questions to answer!
5. Have I got enough accessories? Yeah I bought a bunch in March when we ordered the M3 before changing to Y in May. But still, do I have enough?
6. Some other random conundrums: How can I be expected to work during this period of anticipation? Is it even normal to be excited like this? Should I buy more shares come stock split? Is this car too big for just me and my girlfriend? When will it rain proper? Do I park far from the shop entrances in the winter? Do I leave sentry mode on in our block of flats car park? Whose new Model Y did I see in there the other day? Should I leave a note on their car since we'll be Model Y buddies soon? I saw a new EQS in there too, do I leave a note on theirs, now that we're EV buddies or are they going to be my nemesis?
Urgh, so many questions!

I’m in the VIN club too: 447 and signature updated. Chuffed.
In short, it looks like we will have car 5-6 months or so after ordering. Pretty impressive, especially in current context. Worth remembering for those who are on the journey to Q4 - it was a point made by the class of Q2 and kept me sane!
