You’re correct, the dealer can’t apply for the PIG using the government portal until after the car is registered. So nothing to do with whether or not you already have the registration number. Tesla registers the car on the day of delivery.If it’s on a boat, as many of these cars are, then they won’t be registered. Tesla register the cars on the day of delivery usually, and one presumes they can’t apply for the PIG without registration...
Yes, for any EVs.Is the 'luxury car' value threshold tax gone now?
I wonder if Tesla will adjust the prices to get all 3's under the limit but that would mean taking several thousands off the list price of the Performance
To add further confusion to the mix I replied to the tweet put out by the Government's OLEV office referencing this announcement, the person who manages their account claims that this change "relates to orders not deliveries".
Clear as mud, either way Elon now has at least two tweets referencing this in his timeline.
Hopefully common sense will ensure those that have ordered by that date are eligible - it could be chaos if not!
It would be a lot of money for them to lose, I’m not sure if they would! Let’s say there are 5000 cars still coming on boats, they’d be losing over £17m!Lots of uncertainty. Guess Tesla may honour pricing for current order pipeline taking it on the chin and change pricing for all orders from today. We'll see.
The guidance says "orders placed on the portal", which is pretty unambiguous. If Tesla don't put these cars through the portal until they're registered, then anything not already registered today at the latest would be past that point I would think.

Personally I can’t see Tesla absorbing this change. In the scheme of things, the UK market is quite small, and I suspect they will want to maintain margins and be willing to take the hit on UK orders.
I suppose the silver lining is that this change will do no harm to resale values of used LR and P Model 3s.
