Tesla are like Apple, the Price,
Tesla like Apple have the eco system sorted, you are not just buying a Car, you are buying an experience, peace of mind with Chargers, free updates that actually bring you something you want....
Tesla are like Apple, the Price, is the Price is the Price. It may not be the best, it may break, but you have a choice.

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help. I ordered a M3P in November. Requested delay for a March delivery. I was supposed to be on hold until February 15th but my account has now updated with a lending agreement including an assigned VIN. The VIN states the model year is ‘M’ which means 2021. I haven’t received a text or anything to arrange delivery. Is this lending agreement valid or possibly old (it wasn’t there until now). Seems strange to be assigned a 2021 model 2 months into 2022??
EDIT: Looks like the agreement was signed by Tesla in December 2021… guess it’s the old/invalid agreement…?

But it could have been made on 31 December 2021 with the same components as one made 1 January 2022. Tesla don’t do model years just evolving change.
The “Dealer Tax” (mark ups) situation at other OEMs is getting so bad that they are having to publicly warn their own customers about how their dealers might misbehave. So don’t live under the illusion that the dealership model allowed you to get a cheaper car in the past (That is part of the $3.6bn of excess payments people paid on cars)

Hey all,
Newbie here
Just booked a Model 3 SR+ (white with aero tyres) at the Reading showroom. I was initially told by the sales staff that delivery could be as soon as march but when I was doing the actual booking it showed May. Not too concerned about delivery date but wouldn’t mind having my hands on it as soon as possible. The sales staff did confirm that it would be the new lfp batteries and I would get car mats + the heated steering and seats as a standard.
It’s a salary sacrifice lease car through my employer and it seemed too juicy a deal for me to miss. I have taken a gamble here as I have a 160 mile commute (work 3 days a week and I expect this commute for at least next 6-8 months), but the good part is I have free charging at work and a couple of supercharger locations less that 2-3 miles away from home. No home charging (renting for now) but not too concerned about it, as I have a off road drive where I could use the granny charger in case of an emergency.
One thing I really messed up was the referral. I did the booking at the showroom and I was hoping the form will ask for a referral code but it didn’t. I was thinking it would be in a subsequent page but it just said i have been booked. I have reached out the the uk sales customer care email to get the referral code in,so let’s see how that goes!
I’m really excited as it’s my first EV!

May is the base spec. If you’re allowed to change it by the company (and with salary sacrifice it won’t cost much more) then changing either the wheels or colour will get you a March delivery.
160 each way? surely not. If round trip then you should be ok if you can top up at work
Yeah I understand that, just thought it was odd. My suspicion was proven right though. I noticed the agreement said my first payment will commence on January 3rd, so obviously the agreement/VIN was written when I was initially assigned a car. Hoping I get a new VIN. Can’t imagine they’ve kept the same car for 3 months in storage.
It’s 160 round trip and I expect to do this only for a few months this year ( mostly over summer and autumn which I understand is a good time from range perspective). I have a backup ice car as well which I may be using a bit in case I don’t feel comfortable with the range. I will try to have a look at changing the colour / wheels and see how it goes.
Congratulations on the order, now the hard bit, waiting….Hey all,

As for the referral code, the scheme was suspended some time ago, so no free supercharger miles unfortunately. It couldn’t ever be done retrospectively either. You’d have had to cancel your order and start again.
One could argue, if you pay in full, then Tesla could delay registration for 2-3 weeks.... it really comes down to the 'end of quarter' sales teams are bonused on this.....

What are you talking about? Cappuccino machines or superchargers? My local service centre (Newcastle) not only has a coffee machine that makes cappuccinos, they also have a couple of shiny, expensive iMacs in there which, last time I checked, none of the BMW or Audi dealerships I've ever been to have.
As for the superchargers... yeah great, the thing is, how many times will the average punter make use of the supercharger network? I do think people over-egg it. And any way they'll be open to everyone soon enough.
This really is the final time I'm delving into this. Let us just agree to disagree and move on.

Completely agree. I think they are trying to do as best they can (in most instances) but they just have too many orders and not enough people/infrastructure to deal with them.
I've been speaking with Telsa over the past week or so to sort out a pickup/chauffeur collection, as I'm 75 miles from Bluewater (closest collection point and was given no choices on collection location either way). It's either a 75 minute drive or 4 hours on the train. They have offered a delivery (but maybe a few days later). Any tips on how to get a chauffeur collection?
I ordered through Cambridge but to be honest, they have been ruddy useless, as they simply don't respond to emails.

Same thing happend to me when I postponed my original December collection, the original VIN stayed on the agreement in my account even after I was assigne a new one, in the end I had to contact Tesla finance for them to update the VIN
