Model Y UK Delivery

[dangrenade]

Unbelievable. I knew I would get my collection date today. Just didn’t think it would be via a secret link. All booked for 16th March at 3:30pm in Manchester.

Thanks @KickingKT

I have been allocated 3 March in Southampton at 8:30 on offer page but no text) which is going to be difficult for me to make.

Is there any option to speak to Tesla to pick it up the day later?

Does anyone know if the Y has an intelligent speed limiter? So does it allows you to limit the top speed to the limits of the road you are on. I’ve had this in previous cars and found it really usable. Then you could push the pedal further to override.

Not that I know of.

There's a max speed limit you can set with a pin.

 

[Georgeinrhu]

No, it doesn't have a speed limiter at all

Think it has a maximum speed limiter

 

[Subieeee]

Still waiting for a date after rejecting the 19th, having no luck contacting Tesla

 

[Tony Hoyle]

That limiter isn't any practical use, you can only set it in the app not whilst driving, and it won't go above 50.

What date and where Steve?

Saturday, March 12 at 10:30am at Bluewater (was originally Thorpe Park).

Now just need the final invoice, so I can pay it this month

Also a quick question on peoples feelings re wheels. As I ordered through a leasing company I didn't get the option to customise the spec so my car is coming with the Gemini 19" with Aero hub caps.

I've gone for pearl white, like I have done for many of my cars and I like the dark contrasting wheels and roof look. So my options are:

1. Remove the aero hubs and get the Gemini alloys powder coated in matt black
2. Buy Rimetrix Laminar black hub caps from the US, costing about £400 + with the using myUS for shipping and import duties
3. Instead of £400+ on hub caps buy some aftermarket alloys and swap the tyres (any recommendations for aftermarket model y alloys?)
4. Don't do anything and hopefully like the aero hub caps or silver alloys as stock

I'm still in the US at the moment so every 5th car is a Model Y. The 19s totally change the vibe of the car. Looks like a Kia Sorento pipe and slippers SUV vs an aggressive, premium looking car. It's mostly the color contrast so the Rimetrix covers look pretty good, seen a few of those. People also seem to have good results with plastidip, tho not sure on the longevity of that. The wheels with the covers removed and powder coated could look decent. I think Tesla knows most people will upgrade the wheels, nice little profit maker upsell option right from the get go.

You can set up a visual/audible alert if it exceeds the local speed limit by a configurable number of miles per hour. Useful warning if you start speeding unexpectedly

Had a 19th collection, just been able to schedule another via the link - 14-17th March at Birmingham NEC (originally asked for Leicester)

 

[roadcred]

Just for completeness, have you received a VIN and approx date?

No and no!

Yes it does, I think I saw it in the options earlier. It definitely will chime if you set that option on.

Option 1 anyday if insurance companies don't penalise. Option 4 is where most of us eventually end up once the initial novelty wear off by autumn.

I'd love to know what colour they've declared on the insurance.

"Very"

So I used this and I have a date so first off thank you very much. Day 1 ordered, turned down Southampton, been staring at a estimated delivery range ever since.

However, now I’m dreading getting there and finding out there has been an admin mess up and I don’t have a car assigned (given that link was me kind of going round their system) who’s to say they had my spec to offer on that delivery date?

Finally the booking available was towards the end of the estimated date range I’ve been showing for a while. Could I have accidentally made my collection date further in the future if boats are yet to land and cars/dates are yet to be assigned? I guess I can’t check or move forward this date now, only cancel and go to the back of the queue probably in May next?

Impatience has either saved me or made the wait worse!

Having decided to lease I gave the RN to the lease company (Zen auto) to take over but today got a text from Tesla with a new RN - is that correct?

Same! Have you paid the final invoice?

 

[RichardTheKing]

thanks and disappointed, really wanted all season !

Lol, tout do not need all season in UK, this is a joke. The only time that I have been able to contemplate my all season tyre was in France in alpes during the winter

 

[thewanted]

thanks and disappointed, really wanted all season !

The cars were never going to be fitted with all seasons: EU Tyre Labelling

You should have a vin , don’t think it will let you otherwise. I think they only assigned another batch of vins today. I only found it when I looked in the source, so you should have a VIN . I’ll probably confirm a few days before collection by calling the them or something.
