The Model 3 - 2020 Q3 Order Thread

[Lucanesque]

I had it as well (picked up today), I didn’t do it in advance - when you arrive to pick it up they’ll get you to sign on an iPad and then come with you to view the car - once you tell them your happy they’ll hit a button on the tablet and send you on your way - just ignore the email basically you’ll also get a text reminding you to sign it the day before collection

Thanks Alistair. Forgot to mention in my original post, Jason said it had to be done in advance because as it’s contactless there will be no ipad to sign it on. No problem for me as I’ll just do it on my phone

You don't need a reg to get insurance sorted. You should be able to get a firm quote based upon car details (using VIN helps some insurers) then when you know the final details, confirm the reg with the insurer and pay. Other than confirming start date, don't go changing car details at this point. Make sure that everything, bar reg and confirmed start date are mentioned and agreed when you get the quote - a phone call to insurer usually helps.

Some sources have said that cheapest quotes are available around 20 days ahead of it starting.

Yep I have a quote but since I am so close to pick up I've already missed the 20 day thing so rather than 2 calls (1 with the VIN and 1 with the final reg) I'll just sort it when I get the reg...less time I have to spend on hold to insurance companies the better IMO

Ooo, I have a delivery/collection date.

22nd September from Manchester South.

Now I need to arrange for someone to collect the car for me and load it onto a trailer for the last leg of its journey.

Damn you, Green warrior! Damn you!

I was hoping for twenty days of peace. Now I have to watch the movements of a ship thousands of miles away, refreshing for more information every ten minutes!

Any idea what it's doing in Newark?

Is it safe to assume that it is offloading cars for the Eastern US that have travelled via ship rather than overland?

Just to being this thread back to the fore; I’ve got a collection of my replacement M3 next Tuesday.
