Lots of Model X have been delivered to the UK. I suggest you join one of the Facebook groups (Tesla Owners Club or Tesla Owners Group) - you will get a lot of good information there.

RHD VIN assignment and delivery
- Thread starter edb49
- Start date
You categorically should not wait. Any perceived increase in value from it being a later plate would be offset from the changes in how VED are calculated for vehicles costing over £40,000.
VED car tax changes in 2017 – what do I need to know?
Sorry, that's not the case, I have an order for a Signature X P100D which was originally meant to be delivered mid-December and is now looking like late Jan/early Feb.

Exactly and my question is whether this technology would be allowed in England ? My BMW i3 when in auto steer and cruise must have both hands on the wheel or it shuts down and that is in slow traffic situation.

It still the Tillburg message although the delivery date has changed from 'Late Nov to early Dec delivery' to say '19th to 26th Jan'. I emailed today to say I wanted to confirm the 19th is still ok before paying & as yet have heard nothing - that's not unusual though, my DS isn't that great at responding to emails
Has your delivery date changed?
Ah ok, so maybe (hopefully) the system simply puts a delivery range of 7 days from the 1st day it can be collected on the assumption that everyone would be picking their car up within that timeframe.
Were you advised that your car would be ready from the 15th & the 19th is the first date you can do?
Mine still says Late December - January.
My DS rarely replies to emails, I just have to hound him on the phone...
Only 6 more sleeps til "X" mas day for you!
Hopefully, yeah! I'll wait until Tue & if I've not heard anything either to confirm or push the date back I'll give her a ring.
I am still awaiting a call from my DS to confirm date once the MX is in the country. My original date was 7th Jan 17
I just spoke to a DS (not sure if mine is avoiding me) and been told still at the end of the line in Tilburg, and takes 2 weeks to make its journey to the UK so absolutely earliest delivery if it left today would be 30th January!....
I've asked if i can delay delivery/registration to 1st March as I don't see the point in taking delivery in February on a 66 reg if I can wait 4 weeks to get a 17 reg....thats assuming the car is ready by March!!!

2 weeks to make it's journey from Tilburg to UK - can't be right, surely? The ferry journey between Rotterdam & Hull is an overnighter, so should be 2 days max from Tilburg to whichever UK port they use & then maybe a day or two more to distribute round the UK.
Just called my DS to say the portal says it's still in Tilburg & I didn't want to go & pay if the delivery date of the 19th is to be delayed & she said that it's at the service centre now & that they're definitely still expecting me on Thur - I had emailed her asking the same question which she never replied to. I reckon you chase your DS up. If mine's made it here, surely yours must have too?
Not sure if the 2 weeks includes clearing customs etc...either way not overly impressed with the whole experience.
I really worry that when the big german car companies catch up on electric technology and infrastructure Tesla will be in real trouble if they don't up their game when it comes to customer service.
I agree customer service is pretty poor at the post ordering stage. I, like most people on this thread I'd imagine ordered before the X was available in the US & so when the LHD models made their way over I was really excited to see one. They contacted me to book me in, next thing I know I'm getting a call cancelling the appointment because the X had been moved to another location. DS rarely if ever responds to emails. Enquiried about a Trade In, took forever to get any kind of response about that & after I turned it down they updated the system to say I was trading in.
Still, on the plus side whenever I've had cause to go in, before the staff even know that I've ordered an X they are all super friendly which is in stark contrast to whenever I go in any other luxury car showroom where I get completely ignored or treated with compete distain. So I'll give Tesla that one for customer service
Totally agree, 95 percent of the staff in stores are great! Really enthusiastic and will talk to you regardless of whether they think you're a potential customer or not. Tesla seem to recruit graduates and not your usual "car salesman", and that brings a great fresh energy. The downside is the customer service and customer interaction is not "polished". This is great pre-sale as you don't feel like you're being sold something, however falls down in all other areas.
We went to Luton Hoo to test drive the LHD Model X and even though the test drive was great it wasn't much of an event. No banners or signs so didn't where to go, no refreshments, walked in and just 5 guys sitting on laptops no real greeting, no goody bag to take away....was really different having been to numerous Porsche events etc.
But when is all said and done we bought into the product (and the company) warts and all, as long as I don't get a lemon i'll be a happy boy!
Same with test drive - was told to allow 90 mins & we were out for 30 tops. I got to put my foot down a bit (although not in ludicrous) & have a go at letting it drive itself round a bend which was cool but that was it, didn't get to play with the technology. Left feeling a bit deflated & wondering if I'd made a mistake! To be fair to the guy who did the test drive with me he did offer to sit & have a coffee with me & answer questions but I'd ordered the car months before - it was happening, I couldn't see the point in hanging around.
Anyway, this time in 3 days I will be in possession & am excited again, starting to get 'child at Xmas' butterflies. I am sure I've made the right decision to get one

Same
Definitely the right decision!
Ironically the day after I requested to move delivery to March, My Tesla now says estimated delivery November - Early December???
