Wiki UK 2021 Orders and Pending Deliveries

[Oxstock]

Exciting! been lurking here a bit, and just properly registered - shortly after my VIN appeared (I'm sure it's unrelated)

Ordered 22nd Oct via my company on HP (finance approved 23rd Oct in principle and confirmed 1st Nov).

LR/MSM/18/Black & White interior... now to track down the boat.

Also just got the Audi back from service and 3 tyres need a change to be roadworthy (of course I have to spend money on a car I'm going to sell!)...tempted to just let Cazoo roll it onto one of their trucks and not drive until then.

Anyone else had a VIN appear today?

in the same boat, waiting for autotrader to turn up some callers but yet to hear anything. Worst case I'll have 2 cars on my drive, but just want it gone now. Worth giving motorway.co.uk a go - apparently its not that bad money wise.

Considering Tesla don't make battery size public, is there anyway to actually check yourself when you have the car or is the only option a plug in diagnostics tool? I read somewhere that they used to have it stamped on a piece of metal beside the normal car battery but removed this in 2021.

I'm sort of hoping this new longer range SR battery is a 65kwh, doubtful but you never know. Would be nice to get an upgrade of even more range via a software update a year from now like they did with the current SR+

Hey El Bandito. CBD reader only im afraid or alternative dismantle the car.

They use to do stickers i think but Musk canned it for this reason i think.

Yeah going to put the old car into motorway, cazoo and WBAC again once I have a date - now I have a VIN, and serviced the Audi so it has full service history (already paid for 2 services on their plan). Can't be bothered with private sellers as that's too much hassle!

This all greatly assumes us LFP SR+ owners don't have the ability to pre-heat from mains for a good 30mins to 1hour before we depart, getting the battery to an optimal temperature, which would further increase the range before departure.

has nothing to do with pre-heating the battery. When its cold outside, the car pulls more power, doesnt matter how warm the battery is, it still needs to work harder to get it to the desired temp. Either way, Bjorn always pre-conditions the cars he drives.

Absolutely buzzing!! Pick up the car from Glasgow on the 26th November

HOLD FIRE, what you talking about? When did you get your vin? Are you the Nov Vin gang or before? Are Tesla texts starting to surface?????

Yeh... fair enough.

My car on WBAC is 37K... privately its 41K so dont really want to float £4,000 into the wind.

It's genuinely making me angry at this stage that Tesla haven't a notion what cars people are getting. Starting to believe we're all getting the 5.6 0-60mph/ 6.1 1-100km/h version and they are just trying to keep the ones asking specifics happy by saying its the older acceleration,

I'd say I'm 99% certain you all will get the SR+ Upgrades, the LFP batt and the quicker 0-60 (on the basis that you ordered before the annoucement. I really wouldnt worry about this. Questionable how they give you that 0-60 speed though, but its like 0.2 of a second right so cant see that impacting range particularly.

You can’t do the VIN in source code trick if you’ve ordered via a lease company? Is that right?

Correct.

Just had my hire agreement come though from Tesla. I don't know what that means in the scheme of things but its nice things are moving along. Hopefully a registration plate next!

Hopefully, I've had multiple Tesla CS and the delivery team tell me on both the phone and email that I'm getting the 5.6 0-100km/h (6.1 for the M3 2022) version with the extended range. The difference is 0.5 seconds which is substantial to me. Currently driving a car that's 6.2 0-100km/h and part of my reason for going Tesla and not a different EV was specifically for the acceleration increase

So LeRash's vin I think was allocated last week with most of us - they have some how managed to arrange delivery..... so perhaps that indicates messages are going out?

Booked my delivery a couple of weeks ago. Not got an official VIN or REG text yet, however I have got my final invoice which confirms the VIN. Its a J on the 8th digit - if anyone wants to know.

Correct, unless you are leasing via Tesla Financial Services, in which case you can.

Solid work!

Ok so we know its deffo this week - this is one of the longer time spans i've witnessed between vin and delivery texts. Have only witnessed a handful of days before now.

When my delivery text arrives, you'll be the first to know!

 

[Oxstock]

When my delivery text arrives, you'll be the first to know!

THANK YOU!!! I had high hopes there Lerash swindled a text but sounds like they're not in our class. Keep me posted, i expect there will be a flurry of messages on here if it does kick off.

Argh, I ordered the same day as you but no sign of delivery yet. Account still says “drafting contract“.

That's so strange! I hope you hear something soon, maybe get in contact with them
