Sold my car today in preparation for pickup date, negotiated and secured a deal to use my missus car if needed. 15 sleeps until the big day

Same here! But I won’t believe it until I’ve done my inspection and left the forecourt…

There was this thread. I think they did create a Spotify playlist for the suggestions.
My suggestion was a little "tongue in cheek"
Recommended driving song for first drive home in Tesla?
"Are friends electric?" Tubeway Army (Gary Numan).teslamotorsclub.com
The sound system is absolutely ‘banging’ - best sound system I’ve ever had in a car. No matter what your musical taste, it will sound great! Then take some post-delivery time to tailor it to your sound preferences and it will sound even better!

What witchcraft is this?! I want a countdown timer and a picture of my theoretical Tesla on my phone!
Edit: TiL about widgets in iOS.

Productive day for me:
- Sold Audi A5 on Motorway for 50% more than Tesla offered (and more than the initial motorway valuation!)
- Text Tesla to remove trade-in (done one hour later)
- Sorted insurance (a story in my earlier post)
- Paid Tesla £50k and refreshed my account every minute until it appeared 30mins later (had already done a test payment last week)
- Tracked Glovis Sunrise from Algiers to Malaga.
OK - maybe the last one wasn’t essential…

Until 5pm today I could have said the same. Then my delivery on 19th was cancelled (for obvious reasons) and now I’m getting the car this week!
I’m not so sure this is true. Vat is calculated on initial invoice but it’s not due to HMRC till final sale. Technically we have all just paid a deposit. It’s in no way legally binding and either party can cancel at anytime. I think if VAT was cut from say 01 Nov 22 then Tesla would have to adjust all invoices unless they wanted to pay HMRC more they they were due. Think of it in terms of Quarters, you may have ordered in Q1 of 2022 but financially the transactions doesn’t matter to anyone until delivery quarter.
It would also be a hearts and mind campaign by Tesla which they would jump on. Elon did say he would lower the prices when he could.

I was responding to @robbieduncan who was takling about a VAT cut 2 days before his collection. In that case, he’d definitely have had the final invoice with 20% VAT on it, and the invoice would be dated when it was issued, not the collection date

I think you might be confusing a Tesla "Order Agreement" and a Tesla "Invoice". You don't get invoiced by Tesla until your vehicle is locked in for delivery, you have a VIN and a VRN allocated, and short of the vehicle being damaged in transit you will get your vehicle.
You're absolutely right about the "Order Agreement" detailing out the order, including VAT at the point in time the "Order Summary" is produced and if the VAT rate changes then so will the "Invoice".
However for people who have already had their invoices sent out by Tesla, I think they're probably shirt out of luck due to the tax point on the invoice.

My wife was far less excited than I am, and wondered what the point of having a countdown of less than three days is. We are very different people.

Apologies, yes I was. I’m only jealous really of all those with Vins and collections planned
. The only thing that will make the wait any better is a reduction in final price. That being said, I’d happily pay my full order agreement price today if I could get a car delivered asap rather than get a VAT reduction.
