RHD VIN assignment and delivery
- Thread starter edb49
- Start date
No idea, but it seems for UK cars are produced in early November so I guess it is too late to build considering the long shipping time. For Japan it should have been enough time for 4Q delivery, but here they need to add an additional camera and a monitor for Japan specific regulations and it might take too much time. In either case Tesla should have started production for RHD markets in October, but it was impossible due to AP2 etc. Sad to hear they produced so many X for UK Japan etc but most(?) of them will be delivered in 1Q.
After speaking with my DS, it seems there was a problem with the website upgrade so it was displaying the wrong status. Sadly my order is just in the production queue and eta is around Feb/Mar. Patience is a virtue and at least the car will have a '17 plate

I was told (as has been mentioned here before) that there was a chronic shortage of autopilot component which led to the delay.
Hi Lingster... wondered if you were happy to share your VIN number so we can get a sense of what's where in the UK RHD production queue. I think I'm in a similar boat to you (VIN ...0339xx) - getting worried about taking delivery before the new higher VED comes into force.

It's official Model X is now in the Uk. I have seen pictures and posts from 2 owners of their P100D MX one in white the other in midnight silver their may be others but owners took delivery last Friday.
Spot on cookielovers ,Model x deliveries have definitely started in the U.K. , the very first car was delivered on the 23rd out of the Manchester branch. I dropped into Manchester branch yesterday and the guy was telling me that due to an unexpected administration delay at Gatwick which was scheduled to deliver the first MX Manchester managed to pip them to it !

Sorry Jjd for not replying earlier, but I missed seeing your post until now. I fly out of YSPT.
Maybe better news on the Tesla front .... I just received my Vin today, so it look like I am finally "Scheduled for Production"
Happy New Year everyone.

Hey KT,
What was your reservation number? Mine was 48 before I swapped to sig.
They are supposed to be here tomorrow, time to harass Owen!
Happy new year all RHD X'ers!

Mine was 10 OzSimon.
There's not much point hassling out Owen. It doesn't matter if all our cars are physically ready to go - notwithstanding mine has to catch a train Perth on top of being prepped in Melbourne. The Model X still hasn't officially been confirmed as passing our ADRs (Homologation).
The most he'd be able to say is that provided homologation happens by the middle of this month, deliveries will start at the middle of this month.
I'm sure lots of us are hitting Certification Unit Search every day to see when the paperwork finally goes through.

Agreed Murbs,
It does not mitigate the frustration at ongoing delays, but that's life I guess...
Hey, is yours the founders? I heard that was a WA vehicle...
Thanks for the CUS link- now I will be joining you there every day!

Unfortunately not Oz.
My guess is that whoever ordered the founder's car in WA also ordered "TESLA X" custom number plates. I tried to order them but someone beat me to them

Great news. Will he allow you to do an inspection?
Now for the authorities to give their nod of approval. I wonder if they are back at work yet.
