[Neilio]

cheers buddy seems to tie in with mine.

h

Me too< i had the same options and was told the same boat.

Hm so I received my VIN today - 77****. She mentioned that the VIN was assigned 8 august and delivery likely end september. based on VIN it appears vehicle was manufactured in the US.

What's the chance of it being on the Dahlia for a start sept delivery?

My guess would be you're on the next boat to leave SF tomorrow.

Depending on who you speak to @tesla, they may tell you

@chamsters would also guess at RCC ASIA leaving SFO v soon.

allow 21-22 days for transit to zeebrugge, a couple of days to the Costa Del Southampton then 1-2 weeks for delivery/collection - gives you a rough guide for planning.

 

[Neilman]

Just driven up to Hayes from Southampton and did pass one big transporter truck chock full of Teslas heading towards London.
I presume on their way to West Drayton?

Since I test drove a Tesla my Volvo doesn't half feel a bit sluggish
But it's aircon is wonderful today

Having watched the quarterly cycles since late 2019 this is always the really cool bit where folks start seeing real cars appearing, and the Tesla SC’s start getting a bit mad with way too much volume for their capacity etc - the fun bit !

My charger just arrived this evening from Switzerland so now I can bore the wife for 3 weeks showing her each type of connection option and make the eyes roll with general lack of interest .....

I got my invoice today for pickup on 4 Sept.

I guess I’ll get one soon too then I’m going to guess it didn’t have your registration on it just the VIN?

Correct I'm assuming from what I've read on here that I'll find out the registration either on the day or maybe a day or so in advance of pickup

 

[Mallikanth]

With pickup on the 4th September (I could have had it on the 1st but moved it to suit me better), I called today to see when my invoice is due...I was told it's being generated 'sometime today'.
Hang up and get a text to say my invoice is ready!

All paid now and I have VIN 76****

I see a lot of people quoting VIN numbers on here - dumb newbie question, but what's the significance?

It shows generally when it rolled off the factory floor, some here recently have quoted 74, i've also seen 76 and 77 VIN, newer VINs are more likely to have the USB C and Wireless charging pad ala Model Y setup, we'll see when some forum members pick up thier new toys soon!

Ahhh! Thank you.

In which case, if it helps, my last 6 digits are 76**** and I have confirmed through a webchat with Tesla that my car was built 25/7 and definitely has the wireless charging pad / USB C setup

Does anyone know what type of charging cable is supplied with the car?

 

[crouchy]

Tesla mobile charger which has a 3 pin plug and a type 2 public charge cable

 

[Medved_77]

You should get both a Type 2 cable and a Universal Mobile Charger (UMC). The latter plugs into a standard plug socket.

Great, I only have a 3pin external socket currently as New Motion are being slow installing the type 2 socket.

Just make sure you get both with the car.

There was a shortage of the type 2 cables amongst deliveries in the previous quarter.

More progress with home charger install today, interlocked 16A command socket is now cabled and on the house, which only has headroom for 20A new circuit max.

Tomorrow and next week the outbuilding electrics will have the circuit added for 53A rated draw, then outside sub-circuits added for a 32A interlocked commando and another 16A commando.

First I need to build the little charger house, which will be a log store type construction to house the exterior consumer unit and interlocked sockets. Plus some sort of lighting, need to work that bit out.
