when Tesla roughly ask for the final payment before collection?
Theoretically they require payment 7 days before collection. I've paid them at 15:00 for a collection at 09:00 the following day (took a while to get them to get the invoice right ...)
If you are paying cash you may find that your bank will only let you transfer tuppence-ha'penny each day ... if so be prepared to make payments daily over a period of time (and make sure you start soon enough). Some people make an initial tiny payment, wait to see it show up on My Tesla, and then make bigger payments.
I assume they ask before (couple of weeks before) you book a delivery slot
They'll give you a collection slot ! (If they are delivering to your door then that's a different story)
turn up on the day with evidence of it already paid
If you account is showing as "paid" then they won't ask for proof of payment (although prudent to have it with you). If your account hasn't progressed to "Paid" it would be better to make sure that Delivery-GB are involved, and provide them with payment-proof (they may ask from more/different proof), and then they will both a) tell you its fine and b) update your account so that delivery people will just hand you the keys (your account may not show as PAID in that situation)
