UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

Really? That is both odd and very interesting. How does adding friends which expands and increases risk reduce the premium? Do you know?

No idea I'm afraid, I was surprised when someone told me but it does seem to make a difference for me, maybe not in everyone's case but worth just trying it to see if you're getting a quote. Both are same age as me and we all have clean licences and no claims or convictions.

Ah crap.
RIP

Wonder if all my dreams and hopes just got dealt a mortal blow.

Now I wonder if it's why I don't have a VIN yet....

 

[gslaw2995]

Yep did not know this as well....

Dare I add the Mrs to the insurance... Maybe I will but not tell her

I always add my Mrs to the insurance, it ALWAYS lowers the premium, unsure why?

 

[CL65]

It’s a common way of reducing premiums, has been for as long as I’ve been driving. So by that token I’d assume it’s statistically proven to reduce risk, otherwise insurers wouldn’t do it.

Live and learn! Thanks. When i move back to UK I shall certainly try it

So, I got a response about speed limiters from tesla today.

I asked will my March car have a speed limiter fitted, and if not, would a software update enable one post July.

Tesla said that all Tesla’s will likely get an update for this feature, “but it can be turned off”. I know manufacturers are enabling turn off in the beginning while they slowly edge this tech into acceptance, but I plan to keep this car 5 years and if that functionality is going to creep in it’s a real turn off for me personally.

Before anyone says it no, I’m not a crazy speeder but I’ve been driving over 20 years and I want to avoid such systems for as long as possible.

Don't worry about what the configurer page says, you should still definitely be in the March batch based on the date you ordered.

PS there’s a car in inventory that’s the same spec if you want to be matched to it for early delivery.. probably won’t be up for long. CS chat can reallocate that VIN for you. You can get them to take EAP off inventory cars.

Gone.
Did you happen to notice if it was a '21 or '22 car?

For anyone who is using PCP from Black Horse - when and how do I pay my deposit? Looking on the order page it says everything has been paid for :/

I didn’t notice unfortunately, could have been ‘21 as it was in Manchester. Most ‘22 inventory cars are in Southampton as far as I can tell from the listing history.

Edit: looks like it was 21 from the message history in that telegram channel.

Evening all. Impatiently awaiting the arrival of my M3LR

 

[Ajo_v8]

Has anyone had a problem with there online account saying that the payment is still due but your finance company has sent the full amount for the car a few days ago?

I’m due to pick the car up on Wednesday from the Trafford Centre and slightly worried that it’s going to be a problem when I go to collect it.

I managed to swap my car for a inventory one a few weeks ago and it’s a 2021 car but having spoke to Tesla over the phone they assured me it was a 2022 spec car with the newer chip and bigger battery so I wouldn’t let it stop you swapping if another one pops up.

Guys don’t laugh, but I guess you will

So few minutes ago I was driving and my phone received text. Obviously still awaiting my text confirmation from Tesla about VIN and delivery date I had a quickly pulled over to check if it is from Tesla. First split second I got excited after seeing Tesla UK in body of message. But that excitement quickly disappeared and changed to sadness when I realised that it was message from DHL informing me about my parcel from Tesla UK (Tesla charger I ordered today) being delivered tomorrow. Don’t take me wrong, I’m happy on one side that Tesla charger is coming tomorrow and it is step closer to become EV owner. But disappointed on other side that it is not text confirming delivery date and VIN.

Now I’m laughing at it but at that time it was sad disappointment.

Exactly the same reaction I had to realise that my console accessory trays are on the way slowly building the car bit by bit

You will be fine.

The legislation is for a system that provides some kind of feedback if you exceed the limit. It does not automatically limit the speed of the vehicle, in fact the legislation specifically says that the driver has to be able to override the system easily.

Tesla's existing ability to pulse the limit sign on the display and/or chime (or neither) already meets the requirements.

Some manufacturers have gone with options like resistance from the accelerator or reduction of engine power and those cases you just press the accelerator harder to bypass.

Personally I wouldn't trust what they've said as 2022 cars have been made since November, so if it really is a 2021 car it won't have the new processor and probably not the bigger battery. I'd get it in writing or put the car details through one of the vin checkers for age, and also look at the option code string.

I checked it and it was 2021

When I swapped it over the car was in transit so I would probably think it was made after November 2021. The Vin is a 2021 car but I’ve been told twice by 2 different people it’s a 2022 spec car.

how long before a reg should be in searchable databases? Trying to add my car to the congestion charge page but the reg number isn’t recognised - and therefore assumes I have to pay (want to apply for the discount)
