It has to do with the fact that if your main source of income is fixed interest on investments and worth is based on stock market equities, then the last week or so will mean that you’re much worse off. This makes me question as to whether the purchase of a £53k vehicle is really the right thing to do at this time.What has market crash or interest rate reduction got to do with anything if you’re paying cash?
Plug-in car Grant now £3000 (was £3500) for cars under £50k

Not good news. Just spoken to a really helpful man named Jack who confirmed that there should be a note on the system against my car saying grant applied for (if it had been). There is nothing against my account and he said that there has been no official guidance from Tesla HQ around what's going to happen ref pricing.
Gutted - I hope that the 9 month grace period for orders placed before 11:59pm yesterday is legit, otherwise, I think I'm going to have to cancel.
When did you order @stonecoldrmw ? Direct via Tesla? Cash/PCP?
If you have completed documents a reasonable amount of time ago I would assume that Tesla applied for the PICG shortly afterwards. If it's any consolation I wasn't told anything about any kind of note being on my account, and I've received my final invoice today (after the deadline) with the £3,500 grant applied.

I believe Canada (?) market have/had such a vehicle solely for getting below certain thresholds.
It is legit. From the gov.uk website: (my highlights)

I ordered direct through Tesla on Tuesday @ 11am ish. Had immediate RN number and VIN (inventory car) Completed all docs yesterday, including applying and being approved for black horse finance for PCP.

they did but the Canadian rule only said that you had to have a model in the range below a certain price point to qualify the whole range so they software restricted an SR to about 100 miles range and sold it really cheap saying there is no chance of a later unlock. i.e. they did not want anyone actually buying that model it was just to tick a box. So not quite the same

Maybe give them another call. I would be surprised if you completed the docs yesterday that they hadn't done the PICG application straight afterwards.

yeah but that says "customer is guaranteed the grant at the level advertised at the time the claim is made."
claim date not order date so surely any claim made now would be subject to the new rules so that does not help anyone who's claim to PICG has not already been submitted surely. The 9 months is just the max period between submitting the claim and actually getting the car.

Durely the claim is made when Tesla enter the VIN onto the PIVG portal. Hence just after you order the car.
I would believe the gov.uk PIVG User Guide Manual, rather than any self-protection disclaimer published by Tesla

Model 3 Inventory is telling.
Some LR remain at yesterday prices...assuming they are cancelled orders and therefore already registered.
Some LR and P’s are up.
LR’s are £54k and one P’s at £59k. I guess these never got ordered.

Yes and at the same price as yesterday, still mentions the £3500 grant. Noticed the deposit is different now from when I ordered in February, now £100 non refundable, when I ordered it was £750 but I believe it was fully refundable if the order was cancelled for any reason.
