Checking the source code? How do you do this. Does this happen before VIN allocation. Thanks all
Ctrl + U and then search for LRW for Shanghai cars or XP7 for Berlin VIN numbers. If there are none then the car hasn’t yet been assigned. Usually you get a VIN when it is loaded on a ship. It appears in the source code before they send it to you.
 
This forum is invaluable for this! It’s a good place to learn and it sure is a place that fuels excitement for soon to be new owners! (Maybe tooo much excitement?… Nah can never get enough of that!).

I have definitely lived vicariously through many owners here, imagining myself going through all the experiences and journeys (both good and bad) you have all kindly posted on here. Now I know that if my car has swirls, I need not worry too much because as long as it’s logged, the Tesla team will do a fine job in fixing. I must admit that I do love the “Tesla fam” :)
Well said

Ordered a MYLR wht/blk 20” with Bluewater collection on the 12th March. My EDD has remained May 16 - June 13.
I booked another test drive today for my wife who didn’t get to drive before I ordered….while at the dealership I asked about my EDD and the likelihood of the delivery being delayed….the Tesla rep was adamant that it would be delivered in line with the dates I’d been given and it’s likely that that car had already been made and that it was just a case of sorting out logistics.

Just passing this on. Take with a necessary pinch of salt but he seemed v confident 🤞

Hoping so. I ordered the same on 8th march and had May 09-24th

Can't see it anymore as lease company took it over

Basically what mine told me for my M3P.
 
So, I haven't been on here for a while since joining the small violin club with @Snowy77 - i thought i'd leave Tesla to their own devices as I wasn't due delivery until May/June after their initial delay.

However, I checked the delivery date a couple of days ago and it has now shifted further to the right - 12th-30th June 🙄 quite frustrating but not the end of the world.

What I have found annoying is that my trade-in valuation expired on 11th April (having been 60days since it was applied to my order) - I was offered exactly what was estimated at the time.
So, I requested a new trade-in value. This came in at £3,600 more than the original value (great news!). HOWEVER, the guys at Tesla kept the original valuation and stated that this is what the vehicle is worth. If that is the case then why did the estimated valuation go up?! Has anybody had any success with revised valuations? My original value was £46,800, and the new one is £50,400 so naturally I'm keen on getting the new valuation applied to the trade in.

I have been challenging the fact that they haven't upped valuation on my order and I just received an email to say that they can cancel the original valuation and I can start the process again - however, they can't guarantee that the value I get will be the same or higher than the original valuation, and it could drop further.

Am I being greedy? I feel like I am, but at the same time I feel like i'd be selling the car to Tesla who would then cash in on the extra themselves anyway.

This is an M3P with the Performance upgrades from late 2019.

Would be great to hear the thoughts of you knowledgable lot! 🙂

😀I can't hell with trade-in experience as I am not trading in for my Y.
But, as one who awaits his first Tesla, I love that your delayed EDD is not too irksome; you are stuck driving a M3P with performance upgrades🥲
Seriously though, perhaps your higher estimate is due to a new car price increase...
...
As for Tesla making a profit from the increased value 😱 .... the horror! Anyone would think they are in the motor trade!

He also said that there’s definitely nothing coming from Berlin to the UK as they’re not yet set up for RHD production…
 
Just picked up car from Tesla service centre after paint correction for swirls. She looks amazing I’m stunned by the difference. Tesla guy told me they don’t do it themselves, there is a specialist detailer who comes in to do these jobs.

I’ll try and take some pics in decent light, these are in the Tesla covered car park.
This is how a brand new car should be delivered 100% of the time. Now I'm excited to get this done!! Plus the added bonus of them lending me a model X lol 🤣 nice one! And thanks for the pictures! Enjoy!!!
