I'm the same, completed payment, balance £0. Already had my VIN and reg. Insurance sorted (good deal from LV combining my wife's Zoe with my M3LR with AB). Counting the days until 4th.
I would like to say my SA from Belfast has been excellent, very communitive and informing me of the VIN, vessel and reg early doors.
I also received a courtesy call and text this evening from Tesla Maidenhead
. He also mentioned the proof of payment is for the people who pay closer to the collection

really good to hear you got that service. It’s pretty much radio silence and I’m not allowed to know the vessel my car is on, it’s like the worlds most closely guarded secret with my SA.

Hi, and welcome.
it sounds you started out exactly the same as me.
I selected the “cash” option as I was (and still am) leasing my current car. I only have one car available so needed to hold out for as long as possible before deciding what to do.
I was worried about applying for Tesla finance whilst I still had my current lease but, after a call with Tesla finance, they assured me they see people in my situation all the time and suggested I shouldn’t have any issues applying for finance whilst I was still paying my current lease. I took the risk and applied. Accepted in about 90 seconds!!!
Just today I sold my current vehicle via Motorway for more than I paid for it 18 months ago. So, I’ll have no car for a week or so when it goes but will hire a car for that period with the profit I made from the sale.
I hope that helps you somewhat.
Good luck!

I ordered my LR while I still had my month-old SR+, and completed the finance application as part of the order process.
Obviously the intention was to settle the SR+ finance prior to the delivery of the LR and my SA said he’d contact finance to let them know so it wouldn’t affect my finance application for the new LR.
Imagine my surprise when Tesla insta-approved the finance for a second Model 3 (SA hadn’t contacted them at this point). Actually really surprised it didn’t set off some flags or at least a manual intervention for them to check why I wanted a second Model 3 after a month! But no, they were happy to sell another car I guess!
Thanks for the swift reply. Glad I'm not the only one in this boat! I've shopped around for finance as it seemed like Tesla was a tad bit more expensive on the monthly payments due to a higher APR. I'm hoping to get finance through Forza and they've sent me a very competitive quote with finance from santander.
Glad to hear Tesla are quick to accept even if you have another vehicle on finance. They'll be my fallback if Forza doesn't work out for whatever reason.
When are you expecting delivery of your new car?

Weirdly I couldn’t find a decent/better APR elsewhere unless it was contact hire (I’ve done PCP).
Anyway, my pick up date is 11th September at Bluewater.
Same for me. Best PCP I could find was Tesla. (Matched by my bank but couldn’t be bothered involving a 3rd party)

Don't miss any payments or your car will drive itself back to the dealer ;-)
Yeah I was pretty confident that mine is on Grand Ruby since my allocation lines up with when it departed.Doubt, but in your favour.
I think all the ships for Q3 have departed Shanghai already, the last that we know about being Triton Ace. So at a guess your car is on either Grand Ruby or Triton Ace given your delivery date.
Ha! Yeah. Was hooked on that last year during lockdown. Haven't got into the final season yet though

Had a VIN allocated early August from existing inventory (322*** for a white/white LR with 19") and was told on phone that arriving on ship 22nd August, expected collection second or third week of September. Was on live chat today and told no trace, still on ship most likely, collection end September. Makes planning anything difficult!
Ha ha me too! Love it. Just waiting for the last season to hit Netflix! Cool cool cool cool cool
Id honestly prefer anything, even A$$ over KFC. It’s personal is all I can say haha. This is the first time I can justify a custom plate so I ordered one with letters only I’ll understand the meaning of. Looking forwardDid you prefer XXXX MCD
Hopefully you will receive it in September. If it’s on a ship however I’d expect them to be able to trace it - worth trying chat again to see if you get someone else who will give you more information.
The arrive 22 August and collect 3 to 4 weeks later is misleading, they would normally turn deliveries around faster than that.
