Plate allocation online is instant and straight forward once all the detail are provided. DVLA could have digitised V5C document as well and thats the only step which delays things.

You mean using the downloadable form whereby you don’t have to wait for the V5 logbook in the post?
This….?

I meant when Tesla registers the car, if there is a provision for them to download and give us a digital copy, it fast tracks everything.You mean using the downloadable form whereby you don’t have to wait for the V5 logbook in the post?

Once we receive V5C by post for Tesla assigned 71 plate, rest is two step process (request online for number assignment) and download eV948 form and use that along with other existing documents to get a personalised plate made. You don't need to wait for a new V5C to get new plates made.

Is there a specific reason why you got that location and the rest has 3 days later in Southampton? If you ask Tesla they’ll tell you that 19th is the earliest day.
Just wondering
I think 15th in Bristol is because they unload at Avonmouth Docks maybe

This is all new to me but I think I understand now. So the main delay is having to wait for the very first original V5 form to arrive in the post AFTER Tesla register the car on delivery day? No bypassing that?
I thought after reading the link I posted above that you didn’t need to wait for the original first V5 in the post either but seems like that is for subsequent plate allocation and not the very first time onto a brand new car. That nuance wasn’t immediately obvious to me from the DVLA link I read.
Anyway thanks again for explaining
Thanks for that. Appreciate it.

No idea.
Maybe they prioritised;
No trade in and no finance on the car?
Order date?
Maybe there are 100 black Model Y’s already at Duxford?
I ordered a black MY, white interior, 20”.
Ordered within first week of Tesla opening order book and it’s closer to my location (just).
Other than that no specific reason why I or the ‘supposed’ other 100 people will be picking our cars up from Duxford on the 16th.
Yes its the very first V5C you need to wait for. As far as I know, we can't bypass this. I recently changed my address and there was no provision to download a pdf of new V5C so I'm guessing it's the same when Tesla registers the car.
Yes. It's not clear. have a look at a comment at bottom of the page (link you sent). Looks like this is a known problem. Tesla are to be blamed here for not behaving like the other dealers when it comes to such a simple thing. May be this is due to their return policy which creates additional work if we we return cars and we want our number plate back.I thought after reading the link I posted above that you didn’t need to wait for the original first V5 in the post either but seems like that is for subsequent plate allocation and not the very first time onto a brand new car.

I ordered plates from Sureplates.co.uk and the order confirmation email gave a link to upload entitlement certificate but then a few hours later I got an email to say plates had been dispatched and I have them in front of me. Seems like some places only pay lip service to the rules.
Not yet, thinking it might be end of this week if they work on roughly 2 weeks before collection (Collection 19th Feb)
using myus.com it came to $289 + $214 Shipping& Taxes & Duty .. so in total has been £370 .. but a lot easier to swallow than £2K for the 20" wheels
which I will scrape in 1 day
Nothing here, ordered 4 days after launch, completed pre-delivery forms 7th Jan and chose delivery location. No hidden VIN using the chrome plugin yet so may be a little while for me
I'm thinking the same. I just got excited seeing a few folks get theirs last night. Not that it particularly means anything other than just getting another day closed to collection!

I think the February batch have all been accounted for, if you haven't got the SMS by Friday then yours is still on a ship somewhere. I'm planning March first week, and i ordered immediately no trade in or finance, nothing special other than the change in colour.

Thanks for that.
I’m gonna order from them as well.For the Model Y;
I assume the size you go for “standard Oblong” with the green EV flash ?
Oh I’m already set for collection on the 19th at 11:00. Some folks with collections earlier in the week got texts last night with their reg numbers though. That’s more what I was after. Seeing if any of the other early collection folks got their reg numbers today too.
I too am set for collection on the 19th at 11 and haven't had the final payment request through. It's been on drafting contracts for weeks now!
