UK 2022 Orders to Delivery inc the shipping thread for posts with no shipping news

When did you order mate? I ordered RWD Jan 14th, yet to find someone who ordered earlier.
Mine is also showing as December

I ordered on the 25th January mate, they were adamant last week that I was getting the car in September, that has changed drastically overnight!

A colleague ordered the iX3 4 weeks after me with a 12 month lead time and they have received confirmation that the car will be arriving next week, registration confirmed also. I have asked my company to look at my options and a possible cancellation of another vehicle so that I can cancel the Tesla

Its pure chance. Some colleagues have ordered BMWs and had the order extended beyond a year and then cancelled because BMW cant say when they will be able to make the car ordered. Other companies have raised the price on the car during the order leadtime. Another colleague ordered an M3 LR in March and received it in April (from Tesla, not lease stock). Even the car companies cant control their supply chains at the moment, all you can do is go in a queue and wait. Just like at the supermarket, choosing the shorter queue doesnt always work

Mine is leased and I received mine in advance of loads of other people who were cash buyers.

Not disagreeing with you as such, but I don't think it's got much to do with cash buyers versus lease.

I've been following this for a good 6 months now, buying a Tesla is genuinely like participating in the worlds most expensive raffle.

You buy a ticket, for ~£50k, and then wait for your number to be pulled out of a hat. It's laughably frustrating, indeed, but I would argue it's worth the wait.

Very good way to put it, I think I may have to wait for the Tesla, the most frustrating thing is I agreed to step down into a full electric Hyundai Kona(bright green) in the mean time!

Can't agree more; however, I ordered exactly same date as you, same spec except Sport alloys.

Car came in 6 weeks, as per sig.

Mine was standard Tesla PCP with £5k deposit most covered from their excellent trade-in valuation at the time.

Deffo cancellation.

Perfect car so far...

Should have bought a Euromillions ticket too

Pure luck and good fortune

We are in the same conditions, I ordered it on January 3

Not good news for me this morning, EDD has been pushed back to December. Really frustrating, I would not have ordered the car if I knew I would be waiting this long! The only reason I ordered the Tesla was because it had the shortest lead time, wishing I would have gone for the iX3 now

Sorry to hear man. I ordered the same spec in March and, after reading your post, am happy that I made the switch to the Y (though I know this is of no consolation to you at all!).

It sucks, with Y's being so much more profitable and popular, Tesla are certainly prioritising them over 3's. Just wait for the September registration #s to come through, Y's will be near the top.

Just hang in there I say.

OMG i got my VIN! The model y somewhat appearing in the App. Got an email from Tesla telling me that Zen have granted me access to be the driver

The car is constantly connecting in the app though. I guess just to wait on delivery.

It is a June 22 registered car so I assume it's already in the UK and it shouldn't take 4 weeks to deliver as it said........ Right?

 

[LoneRanger]

Not looking good for Glovis Sun according to the shipping site on this forum, not coming to Southampton after all. Another EDD on the way …

Ordered M3RWD on 13th Jan, there is a couple more with earlier dates than me.

It is frustrating, do other manufacturers have a similar EDD practice ... I don't know. There have been suggestions that lease hasn't been favoured this time around, and also if the pictures have been anything to go by, of cars on the dock in Shanghai, most of the cars seem to be white with black and grey making up the rest ...

Lease or individual purchase makes no difference to Tesla. Cash purchasers and bulk lease orders all pay the same amount on delivery. Lease companies bulk order in numbers the anticipate they can shift, if they miscalculate then some of their customers have to wait for their next bulk delivery.

Nothing yet hidden or otherwise

I know this has probably been asked a few times, but are we expected to pay the balance before a collection has been booked?

Nope, unless you're particularly keen on helping Elon's treasury.

There sort it for you. I wonder if the factory quality control is suffering with there speed to build the cars.

Just to keep you all in the loop, I booked a service request yesterday and they’ve got on touch today to push the appointment out a bit so that there’s a loan car for me while they sort it

Difficult to say from the photos but this looks very close to a similar type of contamination that used to be common locally. The overnight output from the local oil refinery regularly left shiny irregular spots all over the paintwork. The only way to remove it was to polish it out, but it does polish out with relatively little effort. It’s worth a try and if it is, then it’s probably local air pollution or something that occurred during shipping.

Tesla guy tried with a bottle of some cleaner and a cloth on one but but it didn’t make any difference. I’d imagine it would need to be cut back a bit at least but hopefully they’ll sort it out

 

[BrummieGaz]

I have a collection date that's just appeared out of nowhere for the 10th September, but no VIN (not even a hidden one). Any ideas why I have a date but no car allocated?

Take it, if it matches your order details.

 

[BrummieGaz]

I will be doing! Just find it strange that I didn't get asked to pick a date or anything that seems "normal" from what most people experience. It also happened within 5 minutes of talking to Tesla who couldn't tell me anything apart from it's scheduled for September.

 

[AmauryLondon]

SO GUTTED:
last EDD arrived a min ago:
Estimated Delivery: November 04 - December 29

so they asked for my trade-in 2 days ago and now they send me to the 4Q

the only weird stuff is according to DISTILL, it exactly at same time than on the 12th of august when it became TBD. let hope they will rechange something soon

 

[member 229361]

Date just moved from September 22nd to January 16th - April 16th. What's going on? Ordered April 23rd. RWD M3.
