That's great information, appreciated. Was your first small payment, a tenner or £100 or something? 24 timing is key info. Really appreciated.

I did a smaller payment which showed up within the hour. So used the saved recipient details now and done larger one and will wait for that to show up before doing the second/final larger sum.

Yep - order deposit of £100 was automatically applied to the balance outstanding and then I sent £90 as my first payment/test. After that was credited then I sent the balance in three more payments.

Yay got my reg number.

Yay got my reg number.

Is it possible to request a specific reg number.

For example if my name was John Smith and my wife was Susan Diane Smith could I request JS72 SDS

So when you traded in - did you do that at the same time as picking up the new car ?

Yes, I thought that was clear. I drove to Tesla in my trade-in vehicle, gave them the keys, V5 stuff, etc and then drove home in my new car.

Same as any normal car dealer, have you never traded in one car against another before?

Sure, by buying from DVLA custom registration site.

You're having a laugh aren't you !! Tesla wont even allow you to use your own private plate, you have to take the number they give you then change it once you get the V5 through

To be honest I have walked into the bank and het them to do it for me. Will cost me £30 for a business transaction but am happy to swallow that.

It was a simple process in the bank.

Things to note that others have mentioned is that Citibank is not a high street bank, which means their account is not matched. Don't worry about that too much

To be fair it's not quite the same. With a "normal" car dealer you'll have had conversations & likely met them face to face and been talked through the process. It's all very faceless with Tesla and there's not much help with getting it sorted if you don't read forums like this.

Not that I'm complaining, I much prefer to not have to deal with salesmen personally.

To be fair, I meant that the actual change over process is the same because that was what the original question was about.

Yay got my reg number.

Same here. Insurance all sorted as well. Roll on the 9th March!

Ordered M3 RWD in white with aero wheels. Placed order on the 25th of jan with leasing. Still not matched. Spoke to tesla multiple times via phone and chat was advised to wait for the text till we match you to a car. I was given March delivery but they can't give me an EDD as of yet and all i get is wait till you get matched. Anyone else experiencing the same answers with same specs?

Exactly in the same boat as you. I even chose the white interior as that moved the delivery estimate forward by two months. If they don’t deliver, i will be logging it as a miss selling complaint. Forcing people to add optional extras to deliver early and then not delivering.

 

[Gee.]

How far before collection day do they need the money transferred? I'm a week Saturday and not seen request yet

I was told 7 days.

 

[MrMoonUK]

You won’t get far with that!

They build cars in batches that’s why some options have better availability than others, some are sold out and being built later. This isn’t build to order

My invoice says "Payment terms: Paid in full 7 days before delivery" but I'm sure I've seen 48 hours somewhere as well. They sent my invoice just under a month before my delivery date though so I'm sure you could get yours by giving them a nudge on chat or the phone if you need it now.

Hi guys does anyone know the last time new Model 3 AWD's were available in inventory?

This one was in inventory on 13th feb 2022 Tesla M3 Long Range AWD in GB listed at £ Sold

Wire transfer your final payment to Tesla. Email proof of payment in the form of a receipt or screenshot to [email protected] at least 48 hours before delivery.

Thanks guys - I have not traded in so far, so this will be the first time I'm doing it and so was asking re the process - this is really helpful and all clear now. Cheers

A thread to capture general 2022 ordering waiting room and delivery discussions.

Forgive me if I am posting in the wrong thread. I am keen to have feedback from the UK's first MY customers or rather now, Y owners.
