Hmmmm, that could mess things up nicely. I knew it was too good to be true.
Simple solution: give the VRN to your insurer and ask them to switch it over 3-days later or simpler but probably lengthy wait time, call them 3 days later

So looks like I might have to call Churchill back and go through the musical chairs route. Sheeesh

In that case I misunderstood, so apologies to @Kansalis.
To start the process, go to your order in your account and hit the option to trade in a vehicle, they'll ask you for some details and provide a preliminary offer that's valid for 7 days.
Once you accept that offer they will get back in touch asking for pictures from specific angles that you upload and they will give you a final offer that's valid for 60 days.
If you accept that they'll ask you for scans of part of your V5 as well as a settlement letter if you have outstanding finance, at which point you're good to go on the actual trade-in.
They've been a bit slow sorting out the final offer stuff recently, I accepted the preliminary offer for my current car after about five days, but it was over a week before they started the process for the final offer. It was still valid for 60 days from when they made it and was the same as the preliminary one, so I effectively got an offer that was valid around 80 days, when in theory 67 should be the maximum.
I did mine over the phone (with Admiral) when asked that question I said I dont know but it can be tracked through the app, the lady didnt know either so went away to check, came back and said it counts as a tracker so added that
Are you sure you were given March for that spec? I ordered the same spec on the same day with a leaseco and it was always May for delivery on the Tesla website, even for a few days before that.
If you chose a different colour or the bigger wheels it was March but the basic car in white was May.

I ordered my M3 RWD White with 19" wheels on 27th January via leasing co. The day before I checked with the Bristol Tesla folk and they told me only the larger wheel spec (RWD white) was available for March delivery. I was assured there were 'plenty' of those available though
I still have no EDD or any other info!

Exactly the same as me. RWD/White/Black/19 ordered via Bristol store on 27th November. Still waiting for news.I ordered my M3 RWD White with 19" wheels on 27th January via leasing co.

Once I'd ordered, Bristol store confirmed the details including March fulfilment target. I've had one chat with the Tesla online chat - they just said it was still showing March as estimated delivery date. Just got to be patient
This is what mine will likely be but not got much choice when i do mine.
Currently have a Mini Clubman JCW 306 and thats already £640 for me (23yo).
Hopefully they wont try and sting me for another £600 when i swap!

There are quite a few ships out there and I'm guessing there is still quite a bit of matching to be done for Q1. It seems patience is the name of the game

Have to say it’s a game I am not currently enjoying! A first world problem though I suppose.There are quite a few ships out there and I'm guessing there is still quite a bit of matching to be done for Q1. It seems patience is the name of the game
Incidentally I spoke with Tesla today via the chat and it was confirmed to me that the matching of customers and VINs is done when the ship is in transit to its destination. No mention however of what stage in the journey this is shared with the customer however.
I’m in the same position and I have 16 March for pick up. My plan was to drive home on the assigned registration and then wait for the new log book. When that arrives change the registration and let my insurance broker know of the reg change. Just hope they don’t have kittens going to a M3 RWD from an E-Golf. Checking with Direct Line okay for me and partner both over 60 with clean driving licence.

I asked them about this too and was told that when you get closer to your delivery date they'll contact you to ask for the latest settlement letter - which must be valid for 14 days after you take delivery.
I had the same issue. I contacted them via chat & they asked me to send a new settlement statement by email to [email protected], including my RN in the email. I'd suggest maybe emailing it & then trying to get someone on chat soon afterward to make sure it's processed, especially if you are getting close to your collection date.
Yes, it definitely said March, i even confirmed this with my fleet manager who advised me it said March delivery on the system. Still waiting for the text...
Oh great, thanks. I think it's better to call them. I did mine online and when I ticked tracker the quote showed as £1 and when I untick it went up to £1800. There must be something wrong considering the hug gap in price.
