I did as Tesla don’t register the car with the DVLA until collection so they couldn’t find the car by reg

It sucks. Though, there’sa chance we will not suffer as badly from battery degradation.Worry not. Although SR+ VINs with J are ultimately the 305 range (already being delivered in EU), it’s likely the UK J VINs have software that keeps the range and speed as listed. I’ll let you know exactly what my J does soon after I take delivery on 26 Nov.
I was hoping for an A just so I can “boast” about having a performance motor
So not only will I not have the rear performance motor, I’m not likely to have the 305 range either!
Insurance companies will give you a quote without a reg, but they will not activate the insurance without a reg. You need to call them to get it activated.
My text from Tesla for arranging collection does not have this wording in it.
I’m collecting the car on Saturday so received this text yesterday. You’re right my insurance quoted me but insurance goes live on morning of the collection. Insurance company couldn’t identify the car on their system from the reg which makes sense now I know they don’t complete registration process with DVLA until collection day. But all sorted easy enough though with admiral.
Yes you can. I got my car in September and sorted out the insurance with Churchill a few weeks in advance of collection. They put it all in place so that you have a policy and a start date all locked in. They require you to notify them of the VRN before you start to use it. That is not a problem as you will get a text from Tesla about a week before pickup with your VRN and VIN.
Insurance companies are now well used to how this works.
HTH
You’ve said what I said in more words. You can get a quote but it isn’t scheduled to activate until you provide them with a VRN.
I got my collection arrangement text on 14/10 and officially received the text with reg on Friday last week. Tesla cs did tell me my reg unofficially a few days before the official text though
If you’re up north I posted a recommendation here a few days ago for a guy I’ve just used to sort mine out. He came out and did a survey the day I got in touch with him.
I got my delivery confirmation text today which gave me a link to some quick but good videos introducing you to all the features and UI of the car. tesla.com/support/meet-your-teslaThe dots are related to amount of regen available. The less dots the better the regen.
It's impacted by both state of charge and more importantly battery temperature, i.e. if a lower batter temp and/or high state of charge the less regen is available to be gained when driving.
Below is a useful link on how it works:

I weirdly see a 404 - page not found error for that page... you sure that's the right link?
If it is, then I guess you need to be at a certain stage of your order before the link is accessible.
When I ‘view design details’ it still says sr+ on mine although dash says model 3 like yours
@Oxstock (+ anyone else who ordered LR late October) - have just found vin in source, ordered 22/10, LR basic spec (white/black/aeros).
Had the app asking for Bluetooth access tonight so thought I’d check and there it was. Last time I checked was around 4pm and it wasn’t there. B in 8th digit FWIW.
