Model Y UK Delivery

This is what I keep coming back to each time I consider a non-Tesla EV option...
I failed to respond to the 19th Feb pick up invitation. When I called Tesla CS I was advised similar to you with a reallocated car for March collection. Yet when the invitation expired I was sent an SMS within 48 hours and booked collection for 26th February.
P.S. You should be able to get an insurance quote for the MY as mentioned in the MY Insurance thread. It's just that the quotes are limited to the Admiral group through the comparison sites.
Yea I do fairly long drives in my M3 from time to time. I have friends with other EV's that have had absolute nightmares finding working chargers on long drives
Likewise, I have been looking at other options like the Q4 E-Tron or Kia EV6 but I wouldn't want to attempt a longer trip without being able to access the Supercharger network (heard too many horror stories of people being stranded because a charger wasn't working!)excellent taste
hopefully we get some news soon.
Ive been considering cancelling and going for a Q4 etron...just having doubts about Tesla build quality and comfort on longer drives (wind&road noise).
But not having the super charger network is kind of a big deal i guess.

People might already been aware of this, but if you reply to the Tesla text messages with anything other than yes, no or stop its apparently routed to an actual person. Had them confirm via text this morning that delivery will be made on an open trailer (was concerned it would be driven to me and absolutely filthy) and that my reg/ vin will be provided 7-10 days before delivery.
I've been assured from Tesla that all cars 1st March pick up onwards will be 22 plates.
Collection date is different from Registration date, if no reg details have been provide, it suggests it could be a 22 plate.
Back in the day, cars were 6 month old sitting in depots waiting for owners and registration - So while your car was a new plate (registered for plate change over), it was actually 6 months old

I agree, but it is getting better....EV charges need to be standardised and well maintained.... the EV industry outside of Tesla are missing something here....
I dont think they really know. Someone the other day got told that they would have parcel shelves! As I recall photos from new MYs in Hong Kong back in December had them.. Given UK cars have been built in 2022 that would mean they changed the production line, tooling etc to facilitate the parcel shelf and then reversed it??? Maybe the reports of cars with the shelf were actually just 3rd party add-ons being used as click-bait

My dog doesn't want one. I have two in the shed that were never used.
Yeah, but this hasn't been everyone's experience, so there is some risk
Admiral prices are high, and I'm struggling to get anyone else to quote and I don't want to pay £500 more for insurance just to get the car a couple of weeks earlier.
I had an initial quote from Admiral via the app (on the back out our multicar policy) which I've just firmed up over the phone ready for delivery on 2/3 (just need to give them reg).
Mine is £455 - I'm 39 (wife also 39 as a named driver), 10K, SDP, driveway in Cambridgeshire overnight, full NCD. They have bumped up mandatory excess to £500 (and my voluntary is £350, so £850 in total).
All Admiral electric car policies come with free recovery if you run out of charge plus after checking with his manager he said their view is that all Teslas have trackers.
Its a concern that:
- Tesla are talking about opening the supercharger network. Despite being a fanboy, would I have opted for something like a nearly-new ID.4 if I could use superchargers... quite possibly. Actually.. quite likely as the MY is pricey.
- Tesla are talking down the "Model 2" saying there is a lot of scope for price reduction on the Y and 3. Hopefully this is with cheaper standard range/RWD models or lower spec. Otherwise it could it be a problem for residual values down the line.
I've wanted a Tesla since first seeing a Roadster prototype on display at the Motor Show (cant even remember what year that was) but the MY is the first I've considered owning. Speaking of which at some point I've got to make a rather large bank transfer
Dont know where you have read that....they start at 43k, just checked to be sure. So considerably cheaper than MY. See the screenshot.
I said 5-10k cheaper as thats for a spec that is more similar to the MY in terms of range, but still cheaper.
You have to spec everything max to hit 60k+!
