[UK] 2024 Order to Delivery discussion

Anyone got any insight into why the front mudflaps? They seem much flimsier than the ones you can buy from Tesla, and I would guess do nothing for the airflow, so be interested in the rational.

My last M3 had front mudflaps too, just that they were in the frunk that time rather than fitted to the car. At least with these they are fitted for you to save you faffing. Theyre not great, but I'd rather have them than not.

And only fitted to the front.

Hi all - been told my new model 3 is now at Southampton. Does anyone know how long it will take to get to Branch and be readied?

Average is around 10 days I believe.

I managed to get a VIN in the app for RWD Model Y in MSM with a delivery window of 10-25th March, but the VIN seems to now have disappeared. Does this happen often?

Quite a few experienced this historically. It seems more common with Model Y on lease than when purchased, from what I've seen.

Had confirmation from my sales advisor by text that my MY RWD is due in the country next week.

No confirmation of its the slightly upgraded features the ones we’re seeing in China has (ambient lighting etc)

Anybody had any info to confirm the above?

Ask your Sales Advisor?

When I ordered my '22 Model 3, after I placed my order and received a delivery date I asked my one (who assisted me with the test drive and provided me with his email address) whether it would be coming with double glazed front windows and the new AMD processor, and he kindly confirmed it did!

Bearing in mind that the online configurator is not reflecting these changes, its rather unlikely that one which is already in the country will have the "mini-refresh". AFAIK, China is the only market with this so far.

Same for me

Same for me

Mine is a lease Model 3 via Arval

 

[dannyd4315]

It's carnage in the app, waiting for a model Y, started with a vin, then that disappeared and a reg appeared with some dates. Then today was updated to a vin, a reg and an earlier date in March. Now the vin and the dates are gone it's such a rollercoaster!

 

[Big_Al]

so when you did see your vin and reg for a March delivery, out of interest was a 24 plate given

 

[Scottishlad79]

Its possibly been answered but i cant find it, I have MYLR delivery next week in UK, do they come with floor mats, if so are they decent, and if not.. any recommendations of ones to consider.

 

[oysterking]

A new screen in the app... all dates have gone (was 2-17 Feb) and now just "We'll notify you when it's time to schedule your delivery appointment"

The Vin/Reg disappeared a week ago and Arval are very vague about what happened.

i'm telling myself that it means it's just hit the assembly line to try cure the impatience.

Im a lease customer and in the same situation... Stealth grey, started off as feb/march, now it is may-July..!

Same for me. Stealth grey M3SR 18" wheels. Ordered Jan 25th. Company car through arval. May-july delivery.

Interestingly the configurator indicates the delay could be due to the demand in the colour. White, Blue, and Black all indicate Feb-March on the "standard" M3, Ultra Red and Stealth Grey showing as April-May. Both of these being regardless of what wheels/interior you allocate.

It could be that they have factored in the admin time of the leasing company to the anticipated dates showing in your app.

Very different to the pushy sales guy saying I could have it next week :').

Thankfully I have a car still (unlike 2019 when it was delayed by 3 months..), but I don't fancy buying more tyres for before I return it!

What is annoying mind is a neighbour has the stealth grey so I have to look at it everyday!

Fingers crossed it changes or the price drops between now and then

 

[Oxid8ter]

I have learnt over the years to never listen to the sales rep.

Its also very odd as Tesla don't work on a commission model, so if it was a Tesla rep they have nothing to gain from you placing an order.

From what I have learnt over the years, leasing always adds a layer of complication. Hopefully the dates move left for you, but i'd never believe "you could have the car by next week" unless it was a pre-configured vehicle to your exact spec.. but from what I can see all of the pre-configured M3's currently are the "legacy" model/shape.
