The test drives at Thorpe Park have ended but they have the two Model Ys from there to test drive in Guildford Drive Model Y - Guildford - A quick train ride from Waterloo if you're open to it.
It is infinitely better than the JLR experience I had last year. Ordered in Apr but no comms at all re the chip shortage. Had to do all the chasing to be told in Sep that they have no idea when it will be built but could be 2023 oh and when it does it will be without most of the technology I wanted.
We should be careful with the word 'declined' most Car companies ask you went you want the car to be delivered and work with you, that's certainly my experience over the last 15 years when buying new cars.
For whatever reason Tesla wanted to make a special event of the Y launch. This is why they had the "special" locations and the limited choice. Nobody was forced to take the February date or make the long journeys. When we reserved our cars, we were told "early 2022". You'll still be getting your Y in early 2022. It wasn't like they committed to a February date. If you want March, which I totally understand, you just need to tell them you don't want the February pickup and then you'll be allocated the next car that matches your spec in priority order. it sounds like people are getting Feb to March delivery ranges at the locations they want to receive them.
After someone else gave me a tip Ive ordered a set from tesery.com. £130 for full set of 3D mats with free delivery. Based in China so delivery won't be until mid/late Feb (assuming they turn up!)
I didn't order on Day 1 (when was that?) but I ordered on 24th Nov. MY LR, Midnight Silver, Black seats, 19" Gemini. The RN was then transferred to the leasing company. Since then, I have heard very little. So, this morning I gave Tesla a buzz for more info. They told that no VIN has been assigned and that I will probably receive the car in early March. Presumably people with the identical spec will be in the same boat (excuse the pun).
Just received the same txt too. My lease company Lex still showing stock date for 11/02 so assuming it will be towards end of Feb for delivery. Just have to be patient.
Now someone can get in and drive it away.
Mirrors my experience. They were interested in Southampton show but failing that, get to the back of the queue!
Its a bit of a stretch to say Tesla Guildford is a short train ride fro Waterloo. Tesla have stuck this Service Centre in the middle of nowhere half way between Guildford and Godalming!
Correct. It will not lock the car but when you leave the car and enter again you have to enter the pin again even when the phone is in the car. I have the pin on my model 3 purely for safety. My son and his friends play netflix, YouTube etc when I take them to football training and they wait for me to help pack up after. It only takes a child to pull the leaver and press the accelerator. I leave the phone in the car when they are in it as the alarm lock the doors and plays music full volume as well as the alarm. My younger son was very upset when it happened to him as its not pleasant for whoever is in the car.
The ships sometimes could come close enough to land, and if they have a GSM repeater it’s possible they just went on LTE…
I did the journey last weekend. Got a cab there and back from Guildford station. Note the Uber there was £7. The local cab back (no Ubers in Peasmarsh) £15.
Hi, yes they told me my car had 68% charge last week due on 19th in Southampton. Maybe if I contact them again I can get an updated percentage?
