There is a high probability that it will be a Tesla.......but in these troubled times....
No VIN on the app yet. Just a text to schedule delivery with options of 27th to 29th April. I'm abroad at the min so don't have access to a desktop to check the source etc. EDD was August, then May/June, then June 2 week window and then yesterday they found one down the back of the settee or something

That is amazing; whilst mine and most others have EDDs going south, yours has closed up from August to almost NOW!
It is an ill wind that blows no Tesla ship towards our shores......
They will be assuming a month closure as people had end of April-end of May slots saw everything move by 1 month.
I @Snowy77 in particular was interested in this but here is my black badge experience:
Super easy!
- tape up the ‘v’ point of the T so you have a guide for putting the new one on. I later highlighted the edges with a pencil so I could see it easier.

- use a hairdryer or heat gun to gently heat up the badge. Start in particular area though. I started at the bottom of the point.
- once you’ve heated it for 30 seconds - 60 seconds use some dental floss to separate the badge from the paint. Gentle! If you have heated well this will be easy…
- keep heating the next part and flossing and then just keep repeating until it’s all off.
- you will be left with black foam adhesive on the body.

- use your nail or credit card and some more heat and this will come off. You may be left with some residue so just use a micro fibre to take this off.
- to really clean the area and remove the last bits of residue use a light detergent.
- dry the area off with a microfibre
- if you’re a fool and used cello tape like me because that’s all you have then you might find it hard to see the edges of the tape for alignment. Use a pencil to highlight the edge so you have a clearer guide line.

- now heat up your new logo adhesive. 10-20 seconds max needed
- start with the T. Peel the backing off the bottom point area and the top two edges of the top of the T. Now align it onto the body.
- once happy with the placement press down the bottom point and slow lift off the backing.
- double check alignment and press down all over. Ideally heat it all up again and then use a microfibre to press down so you don’t burn yourself.
- now heat the top bar of the logo
- peel either side so you are left with the backing in the middle and the two ends sticking up above the bar
- now align on the body and press down once happy. Remove the backing fully.
- remove your tape and clean area
Done!!
Doesn’t take long… I did front first and that took 35 mins maybe. Back one took 15 mins max as I knew what I was doing by then. Any questions let me know. Honestly changes the look so much. I waaaaaay prefer it to the silver (personally)

Fantastic job! yes that looks brilliant in the black, on white that seems totally sync and contrasty with the black detailing.
I'm sold!
Thanks for sharing the photos! On a side note, you can really see the sparkle with the pearl white paint.
Awesome.

I also decided to text my rep today as my EDD started in November, came forward to as early as May 18th and has now slipped back to June 18th.
Rather like you, I'm rather skeptical with the factory being shut that they can fulfill these orders. My rep apologised for the situation but "didn't have any more info" regarding the accuracy of these windows... And then offered to cancel my order if I wanted.
I find it odd that a vehicle manufacturer doesn't have details about factory throughput, shipping dates or even whether my car hasn't been built/is being built or what.
For a premium brand, they aren't doing that great at managing customers expectations I have to say
Like others, my EDD was also moved back to 30th May to 27th June. I've stopped refreshing the order page 7 times a day now and told myself it will come when it will come. June is still way ahead of the November EDD when I was placing the order so happy days.
I think myself very fortunate to be in a position to buy a 50k car so if I have to wait a few months for it so be it, there are much worse problems in the world right now than me getting my car. Hopefully the factory workers in Shanghai are safe and are able to return to work soon, the lockdown over there looks pretty damn tough from what I've seen in the media.

Same as mine. I wonder if they all have done that.
