Just emailed the salesman chap I was dealing with at Tesla to check it was normal I don't have a text yet when others seem to be getting their texts. Also mentioned that someone had been told on a forum that Cribbs won't be doing collections. He said,
"Yes I can see that the vessel which should have your car is due to dock 2nd Feb.
I wouldn't have expected people getting texts until the first vessel lands, which I don't believe it has, possibly the delivery process has changed this quarter.
I still have you as collecting from us so not sure what that person was told or interpreted what he was told, maybe it was that we won't be doing extra numbers than was already expected, but even then I'd doubt that..."
So I guess I'm just staying tuned for the text! But it does at least sound promising for me getting the car in time for travelling to my friend's wedding on the 22nd. Arriving in a Tesla means I'll be arriving at the wedding in more style than in the compact class manual transmission petrol rental car I was previously planning!
