    Ah I see now. Hopefully it is the light. Surprised he didn’t comment if there was a colour difference. Might have to get some Ronseal on it lol

    Progress so far:
    Thu 24 Feb placed order (Ltd company)
    Fri 25 Feb applied for financing (PCP with Black Horse)
    Mon 1 Mar finance approved, driving license and proof of address scans uploaded
    Tue 2 Mar adviser said that I got VIN assigned, but it's not showing up on the account yet (even with "View Source" hack trick:)

    I guess I can't pay for my insurance quote with just the VIN (that's more Americany), in UK we'd need regplate..?

    Yeah at one point it looked like a TOTALLY different shade but then a bit later on it looked the same, so as you say, hopefully just the light.

    Wish the grain went the same way though, that will annoy me no end...

    He would have commented if it had been a colour variation. The fact they didn't mention it despite going over the car so meticulously has me believing it is just lighting and camera issues.

    In the video posted earlier the number plate has a plain green strip with no GB.

    It that the same with all the cars collected in the past few days?

    They seem to be very well organised given the volume of cars they are getting through and without the dealership network that other manufactures have in place, hope order and delivery goes smoothly, I had text last night from Tesla confirming my delivery date.

    I managed to arrange my insurance with just VIN, then gave them reg when I got it.
    Had to do it all via phone, but was easy enough with Churchill I found.

    His very own remark in the comments section (in reply to Durzel) is what got me worried: "Not my favourite and yes different shades, not really aligned. I don’t see the point." That or he's really pushing his alcantara-swap service:)

    How was the delivery service, I’ve got mine coming on Saturday. Did they allow you to inspect the car and log any faults, did it have much charge, was it clean? Thanks

    When I needed to get the insurance I just phoned them (as I knew the vehicle was already assigned) and they texted me both the VIN and registration.

    Picking up on 12th at Thorpe btw. They called to confirm on Monday.

    I did it the exact same way, the Reg will be on one of your invoices. I had it about 2 weeks ago and I pick up next Wednesday

    Agreed. Picked mine up today and it's absolutely perfect .....except for the direction of the fake wood grain! Surely it should be aligned to the door rather than the dash.

    Same with LV insurance, but they told me the Model 3 is listed as having the required tracker. It has GPS tracker functionality built in, so there should be no need to install anything else to satisfy your insurance company;s tracker requirements.

    Ordered LR in Grey 1/2/21via Tesla on a Business Lease via ALD
    Changed colour to white 10/2/21 (pressure from wife !)
    Matched to a VIN 23/2/21 (had to chase to get that) - told end of March delivery
    Text received 1/3 - delivery on 17th - was expecting to have to collect from Leeds

    Handy tip if you ordered via Tesla's own finance company - noticed their (ALD) rates have dropped by over £2,000 over the term on my lease (20K, 3+35) since I ordered due to a promotion they having in March. Can only assume they've got a surplus of cars in the current shipment given website still showing March delivery available. I contacted Tesla and ALD who quickly moved it on to the lower rates (saved around £2,300 from the original order) which was a result.

    Good luck all :)
