I will be doing it tomorrow
when collecting from Trafford Centre. Due to collect at 10:30 but I will be there more like 9am waiting impatiently LOLYes. Ur car will be parked in the tent and u can check it. But it’s easier to drive it to the bottom of the Tesla car park where the SC are. I checked mine over in the car park, then put my car on charge and played/changed some of the settings.
Lucky you, 55 hours and counting my company chose ALD
. Staying positive it will be connected tomorrow thoughIf you could let me know that would be greatI will be doing it tomorrow
So if you collecting later, I can let you know.
You may be better asking the Tesla to start the charge at 00:30, and set the charge level to something you can realistically get to within 4 hours. (I believe it'll carry on charging after 4:30 if it can't "make it" to the requested power level). It can then use mains electric to do the preheating. (Obviously, outside of your cheap window, but maximizes range)
You won’t get something for nothing. If you are only preheating on battery you might as well just do it for 5 to 10 mins before you leave just the heat the cabin. The battery will warm during use.
Yeah I had a couple of cracks at this. My conversation with Jack in webchat this week started with "you will need to cancel your existing order and buy the other car from the inventory". I asked him to transfer my order from the existing May/June to the available inventory car because there was a price delta and I had finance arranged. Jack was trying to help and said would check with his manager (I didn't go Karen on him and ask to speak to the Manager, he just needed the right approvals). In the end they agreed to "match" me to the alternative car (even though spec was slightly different due to colour) but I had to agree to collect it before Friday. If you can guarantee to pick up the car this week that might help sway one the managers looking to hit their Q1 delivery quota? Good luck with it, fingers crossed for you.So I’ve noticed that my exact spec has been put on the new inventory today… spoke to Tesla and was told they want the extra £3k to match me to this vehicle. I asked where the logic is in not matching this vehicle to the “next the line” for this spec… the guy didn’t know what to say
Did they honour the initial price you paid? I tried to say it would make sense to match this car to someone who can collect before Q1 ends.. (hint hint)
Yes they honoured the Feb price. Its the inconsitency that is frustrating, I can't fault the guys I was dealing with but it seems that is not always the case. I'd have another go if I were you, same circumstance different outcome is entirely possible.Did they honour the initial price you paid?

Also pulled the “I know others have managed to do this”
Nothing worked… back to the EDD of 21/5-18/6
Best not look at the inventory anymore
I'm in the same boat. Trying to battle the unknown is somewhat taxing on the nerves. I'm settled and have charged the state of mind that it's not all just waiting in the void now. Depending on when GSh reopens after this covid thing, shipments for May should be leaving some time next week. By Monday we should have some likely candidates for vesselsDid they honour the initial price you paid? I tried to say it would make sense to match this car to someone who can collect before Q1 ends..

Once on their way it will feel like progress.. at the least we have something to track !Even in the old ICE, we always ALWAYS stop at Warwick services... 2.5 hour drive from here and it's about the time I need a coffee (and stretch legs). Warwick.. conveniently a decent bank of superchargers there... I eyeball them every time I drive past
Yeah your right… anyone else finding the waiting gets ALOT more frustrating the closer you move to EDD.I'm in the same boat. Trying to battle the unknown is somewhat taxing on the nerves.

Hang in there, almost time ;-)
You are right. The stress and anxiety is heavy in the waiting period....and forums like this are great but can also fuel the stress and anxiety adding "oxygen to the fire" where the contagious effect happens where we inherit each others stresses. The good news is that once you get the delivery appointment all stresses disappear and the car wont disappoint.
If you’re on the M40 a lot there is a lot of choice (plus beacinsfield services has some gridserveEven in the old ICE, we always ALWAYS stop at Warwick services... 2.5 hour drive from here and it's about the time I need a coffee (and stretch legs).

Sounds like worrying isn't needed. Cheers!
I would give them a call if it's still not active, I don't know if ALD need to do something or not but it's worth a shot. I assume you got the email from Tesla on the day for the digital signature, and you signed it and got the confirmation email back with the documents attached?Lucky you, 55 hours and counting my company chose ALD
