Model Y UK Delivery
- Thread starter tess19
- Start date
Who do u bank with? U can often do multiple transfers in the same day under a certain amount, normally 10k for example
I’m a daily user and confirm all one needs to do is pay the initial £10 registration fee and that’s it, NO need to pay additional fees for auto top up!
I'm booked in to collect at Tesla Newcastle on 1st March. My 22 reg was confirmed today by text. Feels more real now. Only 8 sleeps 
This is consistent with what @JL17433 has said on the other delivery thread - and in this mysterious process, feels like any consistency in messaging is a decent sign. I’ll try and give them a shout tomorrow and let you know if that makes three of us being told the same.Just an update on this. I spoke to Tesla today and they are still forecasting a mid to end of March delivery date. Apparently my pickup location is Bluewater. That's all they were able to tell me other than "wait for the text" and that having a VIN is a good sign.
The enigmatic Tesla order process continues...
Yes. My bank has a higher limit but I did mine over a couple of days.
Thanks I am using Mettle, so can only transfer maximum 20k everyday. Can I make multiple payments to tesla account or it needs to be one off?
I’m picking mine up 26th so it’s a 71 plate. I’m not sure what the fuss is about 71 / 22 but we’re all different so each to their own. Personally, I can’t wait to get my car. I’ve waited ages and am so excited as hearing the reviews from people who have theirs has reinforced this was the right buy for me (our other car is a Model 3 so this is going to give us a bit more flexibility). Not long to wait for all of us and hope you all enjoy yours when they land.
I did mine in 4 separate payments over 3 days, deliverygb Email confirmed it was all accounted for and I was ready for collection day
100%.
Mine happens to be a 22 plate being delivered in early March but if they offered pick up tomorrow, I’d jump at the chance.
Are you using your business account? The wording on the tesla account specifically said the transfers should come only from a personal account.
> Wire transfer must include your RN and be initiated from your personal bank account to the account listed below
Mine was also from a business account, I queried it and they said it was fine

You want a Tesla with AA batteries? It's coming! Here's a spyshot of the latest Tesla battery development:Sometimes things are also non-disclosed to get rid of old stock. e.g.parc

I think some peoples ‘anxiety’ (rightly so) is;
You’ve been waiting to order a model Y for ages…
You ordered 4 months ago.
You are paying in full for it yourself.
Suddenly it’s announced, come get it right now - BUT, it’s just before the new 22 plates come out, (so not ideal.)
So people are thinking “am I dropping a whopping £55K plus on last years spec car on an old plate”;
Which will be worth less/ less desirable if sold after a couple of years
Or should I wait a bit for confirmation I’m getting the latest spec model and get it on a 22 plate? or just go for it on a 71 plate anyway?
These are valid concerns.
What would you rather have?
a 71 plate in the old spec or a 71 plate with the new spec or a 22 plate with the new spec? All for £55k?
It’s like buying an iPhone 13 for a grand and then the iPhone 14 comes out the next day!
Regarding the 4680 battery;
Much unnecessary hype about this too IMHO.
I don’t mind if my car is powered by AAA batteries or AA batteries, as long as the range is the same.
Sure the larger size battery packs more power but they’ll put less of the bigger ones in to do the same job. It’s that simple. So same same in the end. A pint sir? Or is it two halves for you today?
It’s just a cost cutting exercise for the manufacturer, same as the structural battery pack.
Do I care if the manufacturer saves money?
Yes and no;
yes if they pass the savings on to the customer or it makes a better product or it secures the brand/ after sales servicing etc;
No, if it keeps the prices overly high and they just make more profit which goes to their shareholders.

I am 100% aligned with what you say and I couldn't say it better. We are indeed very very fortunate to be able to buy a car like this as we are very fortunate in our country to be able to eat and sleep in a house. We have still too much people in our country who are staying outside and are begging for food. This is just not acceptable, and certainly not for all these country where the basics of feeding and living are a huge challenge. We are so fortunate and it is important to remember this everyday indeed
Had exactly the problem using the Barclays phone app. But switching to the website on a PC and the limit is 50k.
Not precisely no. Tesla purposely randomise the VINs to stop car counting etc. What we know is they manufacture and sell vehicles in the same three month financial quarter, and for European vehicles they spend 1/3 of the quarter at sea so nothing is sitting around for anything other than a few days.

Correct it is a company asset and the vehicle is a BIK to the company car driver.
