UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news
- Thread starter GeorgeSymonds
- Start date
Yeah I have, via lease on Fri. Not heard anything regarding dates or a RN number.
You'll get the RN number as soon as the LeaseCo place the order with Tesla. Mine came through the same morning the order went in. No dates though in the text from Tesla, I had to speak directly to the Tesla rep to check the target fulfilment date
They told me that was done when the ship was mid-way and I belive China UK is 30 days so 15 days to UK and 15 days to collection shold get us about 4 weeks notice which measn if You (and I) have not heard anything today then we will not be driving the car before 20th March.
I don’t recall seeing any confirmed delivery dates past 16th March yet (for the UK), so there is still a good window of opportunity for those still waiting.
I ordered a M3 LR, black, white interior, aero wheels yesterday from existing inventory. I have an immediate EDD of 1st-8th March.

I think if we were on a level playing field with consistent and transparent rules being applied to allocation, that would be true. HOWEVER, there seem to be many reasons why things don't work out that way, including:
- Spec ordered,
- Date ordered,
- Whether you are buying or leasing (and sometimes which LeaseCo you are ordering through),
- Whether there are any orders that were on hold that effectively jump the queue (and by implication bump you down) when taken off hold,
- Whether any orders get refused/put on hold
- Whether there are any 'commercial' issues that arise during transit
Bottom line is that it is really hard to predict when allocation happens. For some it will be within the first week of shipping and for others it may come very late only giving a week or two notice (especially if you are being matched to a vehicle that has been rejected by another customer late in the process).
So, hang on, it can be a choppy ride

Seems reasonable that would be the case unfortunately. Let’s see what today brings!
Did they give you any time at all to check it? This is what I don’t like about delivery. I am down the road from the Trafford centre and said I would prefer to pick it up, hoping my lease company is ok with this. (No date yet, ordered model 3 RWD STANDARD wheels on 7th Feb)
Tesla app suddenly asked me to enable Bluetooth. Low and behold the VIN has appeared in the source code. EDD still 22-31 March

Tesla app just asked me to enable Bluetooth and my VIN appeared in the source code! Your theory appears correct!

@DrTR you may have to get that champagne ready
I just snapped-up a AWD/White/Black/Aeros from inventory. I now have the task of switching my order and getting on with delivery!!!
@DrTR you may have to get that champagne ready
RWD? Surprising but congrats. Don't cancel the other one until you have it cemented in!

I really wanted the RWD, but with no news in sight, I have gone for the AWD as I have just returned my current lease car to the LeaseCo this morning!!!
Just to clarify, this isn’t my experience, it’s a link to a Reddit thread that I found. My company car lease is being delivered on 9th March so I’ll update with my experience then
