Thanks
Saving the deposit took about 24 months for me! Placing the order for £100 didn’t feel real. Making this final payment feels very very real!

Still nothing my end. It really is infuriating.Any Manchester South deliverees got a pickup date yet? Mine is still showing as ’February’
Manchester pick up. I was given notice of my white out/ in M3LR with tow bar on 26th Jan (Ordered 30 Dec) for pick up in Manchester 1 to 10 March. Heard nothing since. Tempted to check texts every 5 mins! Wish they'd give me a day, or at least tell me Glovis Century, or Morning Cello which might be UK after Le Havre.

When did you place your order? Have you got a VIN yet?
I placed my order for a LR on 24 Jan. got matched to a car en route from China on 28 Jan. After I got my ‘your account is complete’ text from Tesla on 31 Jan, I was sent a text on 3 Feb with a link to schedule my delivery slot which I’ve booked for 6 March in Leeds.
I did have to phone Tesla to get them push the VIN text message to me which they were able to do after my order was matched to a car in transit. Not sure what happened there
My delivery status simply said ‘February’ until I booked a delivery slot.
Also I booked a white LR. Not sure if this made it easier to match to a car.
Hope that helps

I ordered 30/12, account was complete by 04/01. I got the text to say I have been matched on 28/01 like yourself. Nothing since. I have called and live chat with Tesla reps, they wont give me the VIN number as it is still in transit.
It appears that anyone with a pick-up at Manchester South doesn't have a date yet as they haven't arranged where to do the collections. The service is a complete joke. All that goes through my mind is that if they are this bad before pick-up, how much worse will they be after.
I have gone through phases of considering cancelling the car. You have to ask how difficult is it to arrange somewhere for collections and also communicate with people making £50k purchases.

I had the option of choosing a delivery location before they gave me a VIN.
I chose Leeds. Then when I rang for the VIN they gave it to me.
so maybe there is an issue with VINs not being given for Manchester collection.
Having said that, the preface in shipping movements thread referred to Tesla being a bit incommunicado during this period between ordering and collection. Seems it is a bit patchy....

Is your ‘order complete’ with Tesla? Trade-in, finance etc? I got an ‘order complete’ message as my next message from Tesla after the ‘a car has been allocated to your order’ message.
I’m guessing/hoping that once they finalise the Manchester airport pick up, which presumably needs them to hire the site for a couple of days, then all of us Manchester types will all get texts at the same time. I got a VIN straightaway but I assume that’s because I ordered from inventory.
I got the account is now complete message on 09/01. Everything is done. The problem is South Manchester and no pick-up location yet.
Yes Sean, I noticed it and Tesla said that it’s because VRT has changed. It was 14% with a €5,000 refund, but now it’s just 7%. Mins nds up being €700 more expensive for me with an SR+. I asked for my VIN and they gave it to me.
I also asked them about the cold issues with the MIC LFP SR+ in case anyone is interested. They denied that there’s anything wrong with them despite many accounts of slow supercharging and erratically low range.
I guess we’ll see on the 6th of March!
Yes, I’m basically going through the same process as yourself.
A company car ordered through a lease company.
The order was made late Jan, I was then emailed by Tesla to create and account.
I created one and then absolutely nothing
Last week I started receiving multiple texts with delivery arrangements and reg plate etc
I now have a delivery date for 12th March.
Make sure your contact details are correct on the app/account and it will come to life.
For Info M3LR MSM Black Int
Identical situation as myself.
Company car via lease company (ALD). Ordered was processed 8th January and I received RN number that same day. Had the "Finish setting up your Tesla Account" email the same day 8th January. Updated all my contact details, added a payment card, heard nothing since. No texts, messages on the app, emails, anything. Tried webchat on the 28th January was told the car is in transit from the factory. Chased for an update on 12th February and was told I'd had a phone call back in the afternoon (obviously that didn't happen).
Not really sure what to do as current hire car needs to go back as on a rolling month and don't want to hit two cars in the same month...
That's great - thanks for the heads up. Ordered leased cars before and always been given a firm(ish) delivery date at point of sale - I'm guessing Tesla are a bit different but to be fair to them, logistics will be hampered at the moment for obvious reasons. At the moment I am using multiple email addresses to extend the 30 day guarantee on the insurance quote as no idea when it will land (AWD in White). Hope everything goes well with yours and sure it will be worth the wait
It's frustrating isn't it - I've had exactly same on web chat. Only info I could get was the person who placed the order at Tesla who told me it's due on a boat due in Southampton towards middle / end of February and should be on there. I've always been given a rough delivery date when I've bought leased cars from other manufacturers and like you, juggllng timing of return of another car at the moment which could do without. Hope it goes well for you.
From what Mr Miserable has been saying in another thread, first MIC M3's are landing in Southampton on the 17th Feb at around 3:30am. Most likely your M3 (including mine) will be on that ship!!
Are you leasing directly through Tesla or a third party?That's great - thanks for the heads up.

Also where is your collection? I would assume Leeds are dealing with you, South Manchester are the biggest issue at the moment, Leeds are giving out dates.
Directly through Tesla and their leasing partner ALD. I had to place the order through the web, paid the £100 deposit and then they rang me and said because it would be a business contract hire they would be placing the order through their enterprise team and I would get the £100 back. I got at new order number when they did this as soon as the finance was approved which was same day. I am dealing with Leeds and they have said the only info is that it should be landing in the UK mid to late Feb for March delivery. Updates will not appear in my Tesla account but the car will when I collect it I'm told. They just told me to make sure contact details are correct in it and await for a text.
Thanks for the replies. I still can't figure out where their figures come from, my calculated value was on the new VRT rates. (I also couldn't match their VRT before the change, again theirs was 250ish higher) not sure what I'm missing
