The Model 3 - 2020 Q3 Order Thread

[Js1977]

If it’s on the inventory, it’s already in transit on a boat. You can also disregard if it says a location ie. London other than in transit. It’s most likely this is also on the boat.

I'm completely new to the Tesla way of doing things and about to order a M3 Performance. My question is, if you order from their inventory is the whole process any quicker? I'm not too fussed about colour, so there's likely to be something in inventory which will fit the bill.

Thanks,
Tim.

Thanks for that, that's encouraging. I'm just a very impatient person!

Tim.

Ordered through LeasePlan (salary sacrifice scheme) on 21/07 and got an authorised text from Tesla on 31/07 (the day Glovis Captain left SF) and confirming delivery date of 02/09.

Got a text again on 06/08 with VIN number stating registration number will be sent 5 days before delivery.

Received text yesterday from Tesla saying car is nearly here (which coincides with arrival of Glovis Captain to Southampton).

All seems to be going to plan so far...only 9 days and counting

Getting closer now for a whole bunch of folks collecting in early Sep .... almost a twinge of excitement building now - just over a week to go .....

I haven’t got one of these yet. Eep

 

[FlyingTimbo]

Got a reg now. Collect on the 4th

Chased my Blue M3LR ordered August 8th. No VIN yet. Was told if it ships in September it will deliver in September. I don't think it's likely it will arrive in the next 21 days so I'll get a fresh insurance quote from Churchill (and will phone them to apply the 5% autopilot discount - thanks to the previous poster for the heads up).

What's this 5% autopilot discount? I got my quote through them and didn't know about it. Would be a first to call them up and get money back...

I was just wondering the same when I saw that, googled it: Model 3 Orders and Deliveries

7 sleeps here (very excited now!) however not a peep from Tesla. No reg, no invoice, nada.

Use the web chat / call them. I’m picking up next Friday, chased for my invoice a couple of weeks ago and it appeared in my Tesla account the same day. It’s a bit rubbish you’ve not got your invoice when their terms are payment in full 7 days prior to delivery!

edit: also ask them for reg. I called them today to check something about payment and asked about ref at same time, was told I could get it tomorrow as it’s 7 days prior to delivery. That said, other people who are picking up next Friday have had their regs for days!

Thank you, I had missed that! The rep was just as surprised as me to get a 5% discount added to my policy

That sounds very unusual btw! Have you spoken to them? I got a call and text from them about the reg last week Fri but had verbally received it on the phone before then anyway. Got the delivery is fast approaching on Tue.

No harm in calling them to get an update to make sure nothing is wrong, or perhaps wrong contact details.

Out of curiosity, have you received the text to say your cars scheduled for delivery?

 

[crouchy]

I got my text today delivery on the 25th September. Trying to change it to a collection, the service centre is only 5 miles away!

 

[LongRanger]

Spoke to Tesla again today to finalise collection and they were massively helpful, changing pickup slot to a better time for my arrangements, confirming where car physically is, the exact current battery charge and when it’s heading up to the delivery centre ! Couldn’t have been more open or helpful.

 

[MadScientist]

Are you contacting someone at DeliveryGB or at the delivery centre? I’ve never had any luck phoning the former.

 

[LongRanger]

Just phoning the delivery line and being really polite / speaking to them with an understanding that they are in a mad period of thousands of customers all wanting to know with varying degrees of impatience what is happening to the car they ordered.

I do have a corporate/fleet contact but I don’t pester them as they can only tell me what it says on the computer, and our company has several hundred orders currently being filled so I’m not special.

Ended up calling them, now have reg and invoice! I do wonder what would have happened if I hadn't made contact
