Model Y UK Delivery
- Thread starter tess19
- Start date
Not in the UK - configurator still showing 'summer' and only taking deposits.
I’d normally prefer to wait for a 22 plate, but I’ll have no car from next week so depending on the time difference I may go for a 71 if the spec is identical. 9 days is maybe borderline but mid-feb is a solid couple of weeks before March, and then March will be busy so you may get pushed behind others that were already scheduled then. I think 15th Feb I’d go for 71..
Am I the only one who has been told by Tesla customer service that the UK Model Y’s will have the parcel shelf?
Seems to be a lot of comments on here saying that they won’t but Tesla were adamant on the phone that they will have them.

German orders for delivery in Germany for March. Make sense that it’s middle of the year for UK if from Berlin. It’s still more than likely P would come to UK from China. If that’s the case, it may well be earlier than the middle of the year. Suppose it depends upon how production goes in Berlin
When we paid deposit initially in Oct, it was as per the configured spec and they would have manufactured accordingly and assigned VINs. Change of spec means that combination may have to come from the factory than local folks swap parts as it's an inventory management nightmare. So if they don't have a match, system may not assign automatically until one is available. You never know, you may be lucky and lets hope for the best.

That part is not true, you can have the EV charger installed now and the installer can claim the OZEV grant so long as you have an order in the system.

For applications where a VRN is not available, evidence that an order has been placed for a vehicle must be provided (for example, email from manufacturer or an order form).
Yes. I provided order/booking invoice as a proof and charger will be installed at some point soon.That part is not true, you can have the EV charger installed now and the installer can claim the OZEV grant so long as you have an order in the system.

LOL. Most likely I won't rock the boat but get alloys powder coated if insurance gods allow the modification.Thank you. I get the feeling I got this far in life with a bit of luck and determination... just need that little bit more now
I think it's a hangover from the days when the plates only changed once a year.
Sorry not induction wheels. I have Gemini wheels on order which I'm thinking of upgrading to Induction.
Compromise option is to go with Gemini and get them painted. Have a look at this..
That's good to hear you have heard that, I said it based on what I had read somewhere on here. I will be calling tomorrow as I have a few questions including this now, will try to let you know what I hear. (Approx £50 on Ali-Express if all else fails.)
Or get a set of rimetrix replacement covers shipped over from USA? Satin black and have 20" diameter because they cover the 19" wheel completely and a bit more. You get benefit of better ride and range and if you touch the curb.. throw away the cover and get a new one. Tyres might have a bit longer lifespan too?
I think the inductions do look great, but if you're coming from a "softer" comfortable car and haven't test driven them you might be surprised. I'm so glad I got to test them because I felt the ride was a fair bit harsher than say an LR M3 on 18" wheels.
Gotta decide whether you want comfort or cool. I went asking before and most people (from a small and possibly biased sample) who'd driven both seemed to think there was quite a difference in ride quality. Having watched every video on youtube with Model Y in it.. I actually really like the Gemini covers on white, black and silver. On red or blue I think black wheels maybe look a bit better.
I've not doubt that given two identical cars why wouldn't you go for the one with the newest looking plate? But surely this is a totally hypothetical and pretty unlikely scenario - I've had loads of secondhand cars and never found two identical.Then they wouldn’t be identical
Just finished my test drive at Thorpe Park. No further comments than anything else that has been said but would have been nice if they had cleaned the exterior! Couldn’t tell the difference between grey and blue. Anyway, all good and I’m looking forward to picking up from Southampton in less than 4 weeks. Tesla guy answered my question on expected charge on pick up and he said they aim for at least 40% charge. My journey home is 83 miles so should be good.
