Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

[Mperkins28]

Tesla have thankfully just reduced their prices to reflect the change.

No they haven't. See their website now.

They have just increased them back up again. You snooze you lose i guess.

There are still a few on inventory showing a £2,500 'showroom adjustment'. Might be a bargain if you are close to ordering.

Example here is a LR in red with 19" wheels for £50,940 - inventory

I'm tempted, but holding out for a MY later this year hopefully.

Received my VIN & Licence Plate information text this morning. Collection a week Saturday. Looking forward to it.

I’m looking forward to mine too. My only concern is thin paint and swirls/chips/peeling that have been appearing on recent deliveries. The people are fighting with Tesla to fix it.

If the paint is anything like the MiC M3 LR we test drove earlier this week, I'll be happy. We looked at a couple of others in the SC and they looked good too. Parked next to the Fremont cars from end of last year, they looked much better put together.

Got my text too to collect next Saturday, would be good to get an official word on the grant tho as its still listed on my account

Just had mine delivered, woohoo. had an awkward moment as they dropped it in the middle of the road and handed me the keycard to back it onto my drive - took me an uncomfortably long time to work out how to put it in gear didn't realise the stick just pushed further and I'm normally quite ham-fisted so am cautious in case I snap stuff. Only one thing noticed so far - one of the seals along the roof between two panes of glass is sometimes up on the side of the glass piece in front, and sometimes tucked under. Shouldn't be a problem to gently reposition, once I work out which position is the right one!
Oh, and the car really needs a clean

Hi folks, has anyone collected a new car from Newcastle recently? I've got my M3LR collection there next week and am wondering if it is a temporary location and where that might be!

Thanks!

I test drove a car in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. It’s a full outfit. Massive car park, loads of Teslas. Definitely not temporary! It’s on a trading estate, with a few other car manufacturers nearby. You can’t miss it.

Just had a call with a 'Tesla Advisor' who thinks it is much more likely that there will be M3P deliveries in Q1, but the number of outstanding orders probably exceeds the number planned to arrive in GB during this period.

I guess those of us who ordered an M3P around 6th Jan or later will just have to wait patiently until May... seems like years away!

I ordered my Red M3P October 2020 and still waiting!!

Elsewhere, someone has posted this text they got from Tesla after placing an inventory order this morning. Is looking like they aren’t going to absorb the price increase. View attachment 645550

May have been me. Since then they reduced their prices for inventory to clear stocks, and I have verbal confirmation they’ll do a price adjustment on my inventory car - but currently stuck in limbo as its hard to get through to anyone to chase.

Hope you can get some joy from them. Otherwise perhaps you could just swap to one of the reduce inventory cars instead? I've found them to be reasonable at answering the phone so far.

what number are you using? If I ring the 01628 number on the website and pick either 3 or 4 (help to order or have an order) it just goes to a recorded message saying they’re closed and then it hangs up.

 

[Burley]

I've been calling my local SC number. It's the same options on the recording, but I have only been calling during office hours.

Hello all

just wanted to contribute this....

I collected my white MIC M3 LR on 6 March. I cannot find a mark on the paint or the interior. No panel gap issues. The car looks perfect. Handover with trade in took 30 mins!

27 miles on the clock. 335 miles of range on 100% charge.

I have absolutely zero comlaints or issues to raise.

Tesla done themselves proud.

I hope that offers some reassurance.

Hello everyone. New member and first post! I've learnt a lot looking over the previous posts, so thanks already.

I ordered my Model 3 LR (white, no extras) on 16th March, so just made it before the £3K grant was removed. My question is can you read any delivery timescales into the Tesla text messages? I got one yesterday to tell me that my car is 'nearly here'. Will the next text give me a delivery date, VIN, plate etc or is this a normal 'it's in the pipeline' text?
Can't wait for delivery day!

I ordered mine a week before and it’s being delivered on the 29th. They really want to get the cars delivered before the end of the quarter so they count towards the end of quarter results so I wouldn’t be surprised if your delivery is before 1 April. Fingers crossed for you!

Thanks for sharing that. The one I received yesterday was the last one in your list, but I haven't had a delivery date yet. At least it's all moving. Enjoy your Model 3.
