Citibank doesn't use the confirm payee details system so I confirmed the details with another Tesla employee. I assume you used a quick transfer for the £1 which should show up without problem. As there is a £10k limit on these I used an online CHAPS transfer for the full sum and this created a problem as the Citibank system did not catch the RN reference. It took 7 days to get the full CHAPS ref from my bank, send it to deliveryGB @ Tesla and then they sent it to their treasury team who found the money in the account and applied it to my purchase.Got this text yesterday…”Tesla Update - Payment for your Model 3 is now due.

Guess it’s time to pony up,…. The payee details can’t be verified on my royal bank of Scotland on line account, I’ve transferred £1 over to confirm the account. Does anyone know how long it takes to appear on the balance?
There were certainly a few nervous days when I didn't know where the money had landed up. Thankfully I didn't until the last moment to do the transfer so it has not impacted my collection date.
