Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

I also thought about this. Keys are starting to be a bit of a nuisance. I did contemplate removing the locks on my house door for code locks on the house but just can't be arsed. Not really a solution for this really.

The bane of my existence

The bane of my existence

I know what you mean. For now I’ve just trimmed down my keys to the bare essentials, I’ve removed quite a few that I just didn’t use. Deffo don’t need an audi key ring anymore.

...usually not advised to post photos of keys on the internet as it's easy to cut keys from them these days! just saying...

Oh they’re old.

They don’t open anything. Anyone want to cut them, feel free.

I'll still be lurking in case there's anything I can answer along the way!

I think my top tip so far is...just because you don't need keys, just your phone, to get into the car, don't forget your housekeys before going outside - not caught me out yet, but I know it will!!

You still use physical keys to get into your house??? It’s like having VW TDI these days. Ancient.

I considered bluetooth/smart locks when we did the house up, but wasn't 100% confident that it wouldn't be hackable...I guess an alternative is a spare key in the car or maybe just in my wallet since cards are redundant with phones (until it needs to verify you still have the card...)

I moved to Yale smartlocks. Hackability aside, they are very convenient and pleasure to use. And with Tesla the notion of keys disappears completely for us.

I keep getting texts from Tesla, open them with fear of delays but so far yesterdays 2 were just to confirm my home delivery on the 15th Dec and today's was about the declaration form that will be sent to me on they day that i must sign and email back.

Forgot to mention that trading in our old car was a breeze.
We took in a whole bunch of paper work, but they really only needed the VC5 and the most recent proof of MOT document, though your mileage may vary dependent on the person you get.

We had also taken a few things with us, such as the all weather Tesla mats (definitely recommend getting/taking these considering the miserable weather these days!) and they basically let us keep the trade ins keys until we brought the Tesla back around to transfer our stuff over (though we did take the front mats with us as we didn't want to get any of the floor dirty lol).

The experience was fantastic all round. Having looked around the car again today, couldn't find any issues. Painless collection experience!

which insurance did you go through? how was your experience?

 

[Awesome_O]

Thanks for the update! I'm also planning to get the boost but going to hold out a little bit without it, so that when I do finally get it, it would feel like a new car again haha.

Yup, that's exactly my plan too!

Not sure if any of the Irish contingent noticed but there were quite a few long ranges available for accelerated delivery but now they are all gone. I wonder if that’s to do with the delay some of us have had. With how long others have lasted when they’ve popped up it seems very unlikely they were all purchased that quickly.

 

[GraGor]

which insurance did you go through? how was your experience?

Went with Peugeot insurance. Had to phone them as my registration hasn't been activated yet but I had done the quote online and they had emailed me a quote reference number. Cheapest insurance I've had at £332.64p

The phonecall lasted no more than 10 minutes. He went through my online quote with me just to verify everything and asked if I wanted to take out no claims protection and motor legal protection which I declined. He took my payment wished me a nice day and that was that. Overall pretty faultless.

I got my car from the National Space Centre!

Car was FILTHY externally so that was disappointing but it’s STUNNING. What an amazing drive back despite the weather.

Their memo about having a good charge on the vehicle? Pure bullshit!

Also met Alex from here too!

How many people here have put their order on hold for March 2022 delivery and new 22 plates?

If so, why?

If not, why not?

Thanks
