As I live in Bristol and the event is in Bristol it's no issue for me. Fingers crossed it's exciting

So, given I'm still waiting for my trade in offer, but have had the tesla loan finance approved, what happens when it is? Can the trade in be used against the loan or do I have to manually over pay? I assume there are no overpayment charges?
Piecing together the dates for the first deliveries, the first event seems to be on 15th in Bristol unless there's an earlier event I missed. So why would the Southampton event be 4 days later when the cars arrive at Southampton? I'd have thought the Southampton event would be first as no other transport is required.

MYLR white/black/EAP/cash ordered 15/10
They’ll ask for final payment about 14-15 days before delivery date with the deadline of 7 days before the delivery date.

The episodes are a week late in the UK. I watched episode 8 last week. Won't spoil the fun for you.
The 'if possible' qualifier to Match delivery doesn't sound very reassuring. Although seriously hope there's enough stock coming to cover everyone currently waiting. Personally, would probably go for the event if invited, just out of interest, even though London based.

it was on Discovery + last week as is the next episode already but i don't subscribe
Not sure about the logistics argument. There’s lots of M3 orders being delivered/collected beforehand so presumably a few extra MY’s wouldn’t have broken the camels back?My working theory… they had a logistics issue where they couldn’t get all cars transported off ships to dealers. Maybe they were late to book transporters. No drivers or transporters already booked for other car manufacturer deliveries.
Can see them in a boardroom trying to find a solution to this £uck up. One guy suggests getting us muppets to pick them up directly off the ship. Great idea but how? Let’s throw a ‘launch event’
I’m sure they have some transporters just not enough to get them ALL moved.
My theory but I guess we will never know.
I declined their offer.
Guy at Tesla says they have something “spectacular” arranged. Can’t see why he’d BS me about that as was no need but very intrigued to find out what it is given they have multiple locations
watching on quest+1. Tbh I wouldn’t bother.
You’re not going to learn anything
Waiting a bit to put my order in for a model Y, but enjoying the unfolding “special event” drama / build up. (Sorry some of you have had a bummer of a situation being told randomly to get your arse to the arse end of the country to pick your new wheels up) but…. You’ve got to admit there’s an oddly comedic element here which you wouldn’t get from the straight laced Germanic stealerships. Consider me emotionally invested folks, you’re treading a new path here.
P.S. please someone get some footage of this “spectacular” event in case it turns out to be like the Top Gear special where they set up an evening party to sell English made stuff in India
I can’t wait to see how they’re going to try and “dress up” some dockside in old Southampton.
Somewhere at some point in the last few weeks, some poor sod has probably been told by a marketing bod that they’ve got 2k to make a dockside look and “feel” like a “premium, futuristic” experience that owners “won’t forget” and which will encourage a “shared reaction of joy and enthusiasm”

I have a MY on order at status "drafting your contract" with just the £100 paid.
As it's going to be bought in cash and put through the accounts of my business as a capital asset I'd prefer to get it after 6th April, so in 22/23 tax year.
Do I contact Tesla now and ask them to delay my allocation, or wait until they contact me and then ask them to slip my order to the next batch?

I’d expect they will push for all orders to be done by March in line with their end of quarter but I suppose there maybe the odd few available at the start of April.
I’d wait until they contact you and work from there
you can normally contact them and they’ll adjust. When I bought mine, they put the finance through on an incorrect price (they increased prices as the grant went away, but they were discounted on the site - I ordered in between). They adjusted the price and then adjusted the finance. Was very quick to do via chat
