This guy is my Idol.Collection from London Bluewater confirmed on Saturday December 11th
Flights booked from Belfast to London City Airport (£69 - not bad!)
Just working out the best way to get it home i.e. which Ferry lol.
I’ve just double checked and my “Your delivery date is being calculated” text also arrived on the 22nd Nov, so most likely all on the same ship. Out of curiosity what colour did you guys order?
Although I’m hoping she’s on Horizon Leader or Hyperion Ray (both due at Southampton early December) I think the most likely boats are Grand Dahlia or Paradise Ace - both of which are currently approaching the Suez Canal and will be at Southampton between the 10th-13th of December. I’m betting this means delivery will be in the new year but I’m hoping for sooner
Just got my delivery date through for the week before Christmas. Hope you did too!

Scrap this, just got the text ‘your model 3 is available earlier than expected’ - now booked in for the 6th (one week today)Was able to rearrange mine from 9th to 8th so it falls in line with my trade in settlement letter…..
At this rate I’d squeeze ever 30 minutes I can out of CS to be in the car earlier
5 more sleeps to go until I collect on Saturday afternoon at Southampton. I'm beginning to actually get stuff ready - yesterday I drilled a hole in the side of my house (utter git to do as flint walls) for a 60 metre network cable, connected it at the house end and left the rest coiled up outside. Today I laid it to the garage and configured an Apple Airport Express as a network extender. Took surprisingly long, because that device has been unused for at least 15 years and unbeknowest to me needed an update. Sorted now, connected and after 17 years I have WiWi in my garage (so the Tesla can phone home for all those juicy updates). Bonus, it gives full coverage to my back garden!
I've been um-ing and ahh-ing about the home charging solution I will use. A granny charger isn't going to be fast enough and my electrician has gone radio silent on me. Ultimately I will put a Zappi in but for now I am going to "go Commando". Will need new MCBs at the consumer and garage end at least becasue the existing ones are too small (32A but needs to be 50A as there are other things in the garage that might draw too much with the car plugged in). But like I said, TEMPORARY (and maybe a backup if the Zappi - when it finally arrives - ever plays up).
And today, some accessories arrived - a cup holder liner and cubby organiser for the front compartment. Yeah, I know, the little things, right? Anyway, long story short, I'm starting to get a bit excited.... 5 days ffs...

So, anyone want to help me out with expected timeframes from Tesla? As the leasing comapny (carsparison/ADL) is being pretty vauge and just telling me 'before Christmas'...
I ordered on the 10th and at that time I was told my car was on a boat due to arrive on the 25th of November, for delivery to me before Christmas (which seems like a long delay between arrival in the UK and delivery to me...). Yet I've still not had any texts etc from Tesla. The only hint I've had that tesla even know who I am is I was sent a 'finish setting up your tesla account' email on the 11th.
Is it normal to still have no contact from Tesla at this point?
Thanks

I also got the "your model 3 is available earlier than expected" only to look and see the available dates are no earlier than what I already have 
Called CS... was hung up on 5 times and got through on the 6th attempt (persistence is key) and got it brought forward by 3 days, better than nowt I guess. CS confirmed it's still on a boat.

For myself I ordered through an EV scheme at work in October, got confirmation text from Tesla 11/11 saying to set up my account and a text saying your vehicle arrival is being calculated on 22/11.. . Seems pretty similar to a few people here who also got the same text on 22/11.
If you ordered 10/11 it's a little later than me and the Tesla website was showing February 2022 by that point. I don't know when my lease company raised the actual order though, so you could be around the same timing as a few of us on here. It seems a bit pot luck!
I think it was a car I've been allocated by the leasing company was already ordered (I was immeditely given a reg number, but no VIN) so I hope I don't have to wait until Feb!
Just got the text to book the pick up
Sat 18th Dec at the Trafford centre. it will be bonkers there so close to Xmas but the other date on offer my wife is working so cant be there.
Now very excited but will need to sell my wifes current car to keep the drive clear.

Oooh nice one!! Not got mine yet but I’ll be checking my phone every ten minutes now!
I got contacted and moved to the 14th today.
Seemed they had slots 13/14/15th still - give them a buzz!
I got contacted and I am picking up from Thorpe Park. However I didn't get any earlier dates than what I saw the first time I booked an appointment. I ended up changing it to the 16th of December(I initially picked the 18th).
