UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news
- Thread starter GeorgeSymonds
- Start date
I’ve just ordered a model 3 using my company’s salary sacrifice using octopus on the 21st then I received a text with my RN number on the 27th, I have a few questions:
What’s the general process and timeline when it comes to getting updates if I’m ordering it that way?
What type of information on the car will I see on my Tesla account? (I know I won’t see it on the app till delivery)
UK plate changes happen in March and September, my predicted delivery based on the website is March, if by some chance it happens before this, will it come with a 22 plate?
If not, is that something I can delay delivery until march about?

If it's before March it will not have a 22 plate as Tesla register them on the delivery day. They will let you hold off collection for 7 days but after that it will go to someone else.

I see nothing at all in my Tesla account for my lease (company salary sacrifice) car. It does turn up in the app eventually, and it does work with 3rd party services like TeslaFi. Supercharging works correctly using my payment details. I also don't see the acceleration boost upgrade in the app, and I get premium connectivity for 'free' ... both quirks of it being a lease-mobile.

The number plate is related to the day of collection so if it was Feb 28th (i.e it arrived earlier) it would be a '71' if you collected it that day, but if you deferred it a day or so it would be a '22'. If you really want a '22' then collection after March 1st is the only way.
I thought once you get the delivery date it also comes with the licence plate number at that point?

Nope, Tesla will send you the reg about 2 weeks before collection which can, and has, changed on delivery day for some people, causing phone calls to insurance etc. It's rare but can happen - welcome to the world of the non-existent Tesla communication.
This can vary but a rough timeline of communication is 4 to 5 weeks before delivery you get a communication that your order has been matched, and you may get the VIN at that point. 2 weeks before delivery you get a delivery date and one week before you get the reg number.
Difficult to say but yes in theory. You will probably find the lease company won’t want a Feb delivery even if you do. But you would be unlikely to get a Feb date given it is a couple of weeks since Tesla pushed out their estimate to March.
There is even a chance that you wont get a March date, Tesla only provide an optimistic estimate.
Difficult one to call. Seems US vehicles are now being delivered with the updates so Europe should start getting them too. However if the larger battery in the LR is anything to go by, the UK seems to be the place to use up old stock so we may not get them as quickly as others.
If those changes are important to you then I'd personally wait until we have confirmed deliveries in the UK - place an order now but defer delivered until the next quarter if they don't start appearing in Feb/Early March.
As ridiculous as I sound I personally hope mine won’t be available until March.
I was reading some earlier delivery threads from the start of this year and people were talking about collection in Jan/Feb based on ordering it around Nov.
Is this a new delivery scheme schedule or is it always changing?
Tesla are talking about more evenly spaced deliveries, rather than end of quarter pushes, but we have yet to see that. Not sure any ships are being tracked for Jan deliveries to the UK so the standard end of second month (Feb) and third month (March) deliveries seems to be in place for Q1 22.

AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!
Per Teslascope on twitter, "The first Model 3 and Y vehicles with MCU3 (Infotainment Computer with AMD Ryzen) are now being produced and delivered in North America" Super exciting, we did not think US would get the Ryzen chips until later this year but it came sooner than expected. If someone...

There's no such thing as a '2022 model' as Tesla make changes on an incremental basis. Over time they will update/improve what is delivered but there is no easy way to pre-determine exactly what spec you will get. See the current discussions on rear lights etc for an idea of how this works in practice.
Either way, you will get a great car so enjoy the wait.
Actually built in 2022 - the 10th character of the VIN will be N, for 2021 built vehicles it is M.
As HenryT has stated, there isn't an official 2022 model - the rumoured changes coming to Europe vehicles are laminated rear windows (you can easily see two pieces of glass glued together if you look at the edge), lithium ion 12v battery rather than lead-acid (you would have to removed the trim panel under the bonnet to get to see the battery, and a change to the infotainment computer which has an upgraded AMD processor (check via the main screen under car>software>additional information).
There will be likely be two or three further changes during 2022 - the vehicle is constantly evolving.
