Loving all the new cars popping up!

Checked in with Tesla to see how mine order is going. Was originally told June by my lease company as it was part of a bulk order originally placed early March.

Moved out of this quarter no big deal, revised estimate July-Sept.

Just checked with Tesla and they’re now saying November - Jan

I’ve reached out to my lease company as that’s quite a significant order jump.

I've just got insurance with DL. Given them the reg number. I asked if have to do anything else when I get the car next week and they said no.

In fact, I've just checked, they've sent me the policy/insurance documents. They're in my account. Insured from 29th June.

I can echo the above. Spoke to a CS at Direct Line and they just needed the reg number. I've received docs in the post and I'm all set for collection on the 29th June from the NEC.

The owners manual says it adjusts automatically when moving from left to right hand side of road and vice Verda

The front headlights do not adjust automatically when GPS signal senses geographic location of the vehicle having changed to an opposite side traffic county. New Mercedes vehicles do but unfortunately, the rear foglight do not on any vehicles. For right hand drive vehicles driving on left of road (in UK, Australia, Singapore, etc) the foglight is lit on right side rear light module and For Left hand drive vehicles driving on right of road (in RHD countries in Europe, USA and else where) the foglight is lit on left side rear light module and this is not programmable and is a requirement to be modified by physically hard wiring the fog light in the light module. This is only required if you ship a vehicle to another country where there is a change of drive side and you wish to register the vehicle in that country. This is not required if you are simply driving through or vacationing in the country

Additional question for the collectors of yesterday/today: do the reg plates provided come with the ugly green strip? (and no UK flag I suppose?)

I distinctly remember seeing green stripes and no UK flag on collection photos from yesterday, so I think you're right.

It'll be a short sharp trip to ukregplates.co.uk for me once the V5 arrives, I think...

 

[Mrklaw]

If I can remember I'll try and get photos of the headlights in France when I'm over there and compare. I've tried to find ones recently but can't see any. Even Bjorn's tests of the matrix lights didn't make the shape easy to work out

M3LR on Friday 24th - if I can get all of the finance paperwork sorted; Tesla Finance aren't in a hurry to respond to anything!

I was told similar, with Tesla and the lease company timelines disagreeing. I think perhaps Tesla are being quite conservative in their estimates? Makes sense it's pushed out by a quarter, due to a few months of reduced production. Pushed out by half a year is a bit extreme

I am picking up on Saturday. As it stands I have a VIN but no licence plate. When do you get the licence plate? Will I be able to insure it without a licence plate?

I would definitely get that sorted asap.Thats not right.I had the text with my vin and reg fron tesla a couple of weeks ago

If I see again this pre-canned response on the chat I will start to mess with them by replying "please explain again how a 3 weeks lockdown in China is delaying my order by 6 months ?"

...but this would probably push me further down the queue

Just got a text now with the licence plate. Phew.

I just got a text from the delivery hub saying there may not be much charge on the car lol

 

[ElectricPolice]

This may well be true for the Model 3, but for the Model Y the 19" Gemini's come with Hankooks and the 20" Induction's come with Michelins.

My M3 LR 19" sports came with Pirelli P Zero Elect's. That was in March 2022 (Q1)

Ouch! At least they have warned you. Others have said theirs was about 50% right?

If it is very low is there a charger near where you pick up from?

Have you checked your account (on line) , look at your order and see if there is a doc "final invoice" , if so reg is usually on there

Mine says, “we cannot guarantee the level of charge on your car.”

That’s really poor, no way 3 weeks of lockdown can create a 6 month delay.

I am too in same boat with a lease order due in June, but tesla told me last week Q3, which would be Jul-Sept. Leaseco saying July, but I doubt that.

I just wish Berlin was making RHD LR MY, be so much quicker

 

[munkypuzel]

No red one's.... BOOOOO..

Its because Red ones look totally sh+t


Just kidding Buster - All Tesla's are beautiful - according to the parents

List of other possible new excuses from Tesla staff once the April Shanghai lockdown excuse will wear out:
- "its the war in Ukraine"
- "we're having delays because of the current inflation"
- "Brexit customs checks"
- "due to the rail strike this week..."

Yes mate 1.4 miles away, so all good

Yeah, I just hope the mileage doesn't reflect the lack of charge lol
