UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news
- Thread starter GeorgeSymonds
- Start date
Can anyone confirm what happens when you've reserved a vehicle on the new higher price (say, £55K for LR as it is today) and then between reservation and delivery the price goes down, whether Tesla will decrease the reservation price accordingly?
I suspect it's a no, since they do not increase locked in prices, but would be good to know since I plan on ordering soon (though am gutted I didn't just order even just a week ago now...).

There’s a chat icon on the site but it doesn’t always appear and you need to access it from a laptop, it won’t appear accessing the page from your phone . There is also a phone number on teslas website.
If you have just received the RN you would need to be quite lucky to be matched straight away. Though I think lead time does depend on spec and options you have chosen. I received my RN on 8th Feb, no match as yet and was told yesterday it maybe next quarter unless something becomes available.
Yes snowy is correct… you will be allocated a plate. Then when you collect you have to wait around 5 days for your V5 to arrive in the post. Once you have this you can then put the plate on using the DVLA online system. It is immediate and no cost. Only cost is when you want to take the plate off which is £80 retention fee. There may be an admin fee with your insurance company for changing the plate though!

The car doesn't appear in the mobile app during the shipping/delivery stage for lease customers it seems. Mine appeared in the app 10 seconds after I signed the collection document, and has all the same features. It still hasn't shown up in the web portal though when I log into My Account
This is a strange one, if you order and price goes UP, then you keep your order and the price you ordered at locks in unless you choose to cancel your order, then you have to re-submit at the new price.
Now, this is the kick. If you order and 'lock in' at a price like it is now, even if price goes down, you'll still be locked in. However, it's at this point that you have to evaluate if cancelling your order, and being positioned at the BACK of the queue is worth the difference in price. For a couple of grand I'd stay put than to have to wait another year for the car. Saying that, if they suddenly dumped the price by 50% (just for example sake), I absolutely would cancel my order. Not just because the car is half the price, but it's current value if you bought it would completely bone you on its resale value, and residual value, which for me is a very important factor.
The key to Tesla is order NOW and see what happens. If they're saying April 2023 ETA, you really want to be in the queue ASAP, and can always shortcut a car if you have an eagle eye for inventory.
I though I had read before, some time ago, as we haven't had any price drops for a while, that Tesla lowered the price if you haven't already paid/collected.
Otherwise it would be a right old mess, with people not too concerned about quick delivery cancelling and reordering left, right, and centre.
Last week with 52k vs 50k for an LR, you were basically getting a 2k discount on EAP. This week with the discounts on the new 55k base price, you'd have to be batshit crazy to switch to an ex-demo if you have an existing order
You're likely right, but I heard Tesla were frustrated with customers persistently delaying and holding an order for a preferential price combination to remain top of the pecking order. It started to hit their quarterlies. Now I heard that if you delay and dither too much they cancel your order with a refund of your deposit to unclog you from their system; free to re-order if you desire.. but at the new prices. I'm not exactly sure how many 'lives and out' you get, but I wouldn't want to be that guy!
The perception is when you order, the price and spec you see is what you agree to. Recently, with the 2022 updates, a lot of folks got a lot more than the spec originally ordered at the end of 2021 so it can go with you quite nicely to. I just resign to a Tesla as TECH not a car, so the same applies if I'm buying a new CPU or GPU for my home computer.. You're just at the mercy of heaven usually.
you do realise what they are doing, buying or accepting trade in for any old tesla
adding at a switch of a button and OTA update the expensive EAP / FSD and artificially increasing the price
whilst increasing the new car prices, making it look more appealing

Inventory in UK is 100 or so cars at most with the odd new one appearing as someone decides to delay taking delivery or change their spec. Tesla will deliver probably around 10,000 cars in the UK this month alone, maybe 10-20,000 in Q2, same again in Q3 so their UK order book probably has at least 30-40,000 cars in it at the old prices. I think the prices of the ex-demo models were set knowing that these price rises were coming. The new prices hit now because Tesla realise that by the time they deliver any new orders placed from now onwards in late 22 or early 23 their raw material and shipping costs will have risen considerably.
