Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

[Deleted member 192894]

Ok guys, I called Tesla just now and I have been assigned a vehicle - WOOHOO.

Now then, I asked about the range, and to add to the confusion she said the car will have the "old" range of 278 not the new 305.
I'm going to just see what turns up on the day as we're seeing a lot of contrasting information

Ordered 11/10
Blue M3SR (standard spec)

Vessel is NABUCCO - expected 25/11 in to the UK

I suspect some of them have been told, others haven't.
Specifically, the CS agent I spoke to looked at my RN, which meant he looked at the car and the order to tell me whether it was the new or old range.

I ordered sr+ 28/9 Black/Black standard wheels delivery 25th Nov. at Trafford centre. My 8th letter of vin is " J ".
Do I have the 60 Kwh battery.

Maybe, we think the J indicates as such.
In reality, nobody knows, seemingly, not even Telsa CS. I've been told I have the new range, and been told I don't have the new range, on the same day, by two different agents.

You have quite an early Q4 delivery, likely yours was built just before the switch over, possibly an end of Q3 built car.

Maybe! I do have a J as the 8th character of my VIN though, which I know is for motor, but I also thought that was the "bigger" battery for SR+? Is there a bigger one now? Who knows til delivery!

I think the overall answer to that is, nobody knows! maybe in the coming weeks when new owners get their hands on the latest SR+s, we will know more

Got my VIN in source code. SR+ Midnight Silver/Black Interior. Ordered 20/10

There is speculation, the new batteries have new motors too, hence the change in character.

Got my VIN in code today ordered LR Red with Full autopilot on 14/10. Sounds like there is a new batch of VINs assigned

 

[JonP73]

My (source code today) VIN has an "A" - SR+ 10/10 order

 

[Deleted member 192894]

My (source code today) VIN has an "A" - SR+ 10/10 order

A in the 8th char?

Yeah this was my feeling too, I thought I was going crazy. Keep hearing I'll get the "old" speed of 5.6, but it was 5.3 when I ordered...

Now you mention it, mine was 5.3 when I ordered too, so it is 0.5 seconds slower! Hmmm, not ideal!

Tesla CS telling people what battery and 0-60 their new SR+ “might” be….

 

[Shakb]

I never got a VIN text ,but have delivery booked. I never even received a delivery text either until I made the appointment with them over the phone and made them manually send me one for confirmation!

It appears quite a few people never received those texts.

Never had vin text and collecting on 30th. Had email today to pay balance

Personally, half a second of speed difference does not bother me. If I cared about fractional speed differences, I'd have gone for the LR/P. If more range comes at a cost of 0.5s 0-60, bring it on!!

However, suspect an OTA may fix this in future. Suspect the increased range sweetens the deal for a slightly slower than advertised motor, equally, you're getting the increased range for £1'000 less than people ordering now.

Not sure what footing this puts people on who are not happy they're not getting the acceleration they were advertised (even if it does mean they get more range for the same price).

Sorry, yes the 8th character

Curious...

Just spoke to Tesla Chat. They said my car hasn't been allocated yet (even though I have my VIN in source code since this morning). Emma said that Delivery would be Early December but couldn't say which boats it could be on.

So did you have a text confirming VIN? Or did you check VIN in source code and then call them?

They didn't seem to have anything allocated on their end when I talked to Tesla, even though I see a VIN in source...

What’s the 8th character in your Vin if you don’t mind me asking?

Motor.

There is speculation the new SR+ cars with the new batteries have new motors also. Hence the correlation between VIN 8th and whether its a new battery or not.
