I had two or three issues that will need rectifying when I collected the car (paint blebs/scratches, panel clips not seated, wheel arch trim loose) so perhaps they were eager to make up for it by giving me the plates foc.

It appears to depend on which delivery centre you go to. I collected from Birmingham yesterday and they made up a set of plates for me before I left, no charge. Perhaps try complaining that other customers are being given them foc?

I have a similar issue. I’m using a Pod-Point but the maximum I can set it to in the car is 13A. Any ideas? Thanks for any help folks.

That is one option but it should also show a different option for 3 years or however long your agreement is. If you can’t find it in the page just give them a call and they will be happy to give you a price.

You have to take out GAP within 180 days of buying/takin delivery, but you can defer it for 12 months if your insurance covers that period

After paying £40k+ for the car I think I’m happy to pay 30p a day for something that will make my daily commute easier and more enjoyable.

If anyone is shopping for GAP, I would recommend gapinsurance.co.uk. Used three times now and always great levels of cover and price. They are ‘which?’ recommended too. Just got 3 yrs of back-to-invoice GAP (leasing) for £117. Can do it over the phone or through their website. Lease company...

Thanks CMc1, I hadn’t seen this.

It was the same story when iPhones first launched - setting my alarm for 6 am every morning to go online and try and get that day’s new stock, searching all the local branches, delivery times online several weeks ahead, but lucky people who timed it right or willing to have any spec and colour...

Probably just seen his tax bill for the year :eek:

Like others on the forum, I had to get a new quote when my delivery date came through (original one had expired) and it suddenly jumped by £70! I phoned direct-line and they were happy to price match the original quote. Next cheapest was LV but the same cost didn’t include things like legal...

Nice Christmas present! Congrats

A key point will be when you raised the issue with them. If you notified them on the day of collection then it was clearly present at the time. It is reasonable to expect a brand new car not to have this issue. If you didn’t, it may be harder to prove. Like jcromonini said, it’s standard...

There have been two price rises since I ordered in September, so the M3 SR+ is £2k more expensive. I think there have also been price cuts for some specs at certain times but overall I think prices will continue to rise. Then there is the uncertainty of Brexit. Personally, I would go ahead and...

Make sure you have someone’s referral code at the time of ordering. You and the person whose code it is will both get 1,000 free supercharger miles! You have to quote the referral code when you order, you can’t get it applied afterwards. Lots of people will be willing to give you theirs! :)

Merc all the way - E class (beautiful ride quality!). E class convertible, SLK - but not all at the same time! Can’t quite believe the M3 has enticed me away but don’t think I will regret it.

Call them on 01628 450604, option 1 then 1 gain. They are usually really helpful. Opening hours are 8.30-4.30 Monday to Friday though.

Everyone who orders gets a referral code. This is different and separate to your RN number, which is basically your order number. If people use your referral code when they order a Tesla, you both get 1,000 free supercharger miles (For charging at Tesla Superchargers). They have to quote the...

Yep, that’s what I’m learning! Thanks for the recommendations

I’m leasing my M3 so don’t want to go to the expense of ceramic coating etc, but I am a bit obsessive when it comes to keeping my car clean and shiny! To save me wasting money on products that don’t live up to their claims, what would you recommend for: Washing/waxing Windows - cleaning and...

All those pine needles in my model 3?! Bah humbug, the kids will have to manage with artificial from now on. E Scrooge. :eek:

Just a quick question: will I need GAP insurance if I’m leasing? I’ve not leased before, but always arranged my own GAP for each of my Mercedes. Anyone have any recommendations? Thanks for any info or replies...

‘My weekend car’??? Suppose you have one for each day of the week too. Not sure if you’ve stumbled into the wrong forum, lottery winners have their own page. I’m definitely not a member of the ‘weekend car’ club :rolleyes::D

Looks a bit dated? It’s all personal taste though and it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, only you.

Thanks for the info - what number did you use to contact them?

Good to know, thanks.

My car was shipped on the Cosmos which arrived at Zeebrugge yesterday afternoon. Got a delivery appointment today for 10th December.

Email - they said I’d get an SMS but I didn’t. Will ring them tomorrow to accept the appointment as I know you only have 7 days, but there is no way to reply to the email.

Confirmed delivery appointment today - pick up 10th December at Birmingham. Next 2 weeks will be painful!!

On the main Tesla website page, click on the menu (top right) and choose existing inventory. You may need to apply a filter to see model 3s.

Yes, I wouldn’t have got the inventory car at the previous price, it would have been current price so it was a no brainer for me.

Tesla told me when I phoned them a couple of weeks ago. Have also got the registration as of Friday, as well as the VIN. If you have been matched they should be able to tell you where your car is.

I had a similar thought a couple of weeks ago, but when I spoke to Tesla both cars were on the same ship so I wouldn’t have got it any sooner (but it would have cost £2k more!).

Glovis Cosmos is now moored at Zeebrugge with another lot of lovely model 3s - including mine :) Morten Grove on Twitter

Just had my vehicle registration confirmed by the lease company. No delivery appointment yet but Tesla still saying ‘early December’ (Lease co. say ‘by end of the year”). Tesla have confirmed I will receive a text ‘automatically’ by SMS. At least I can get the insurance sorted now. :)

Thanks for the info, really helpful

I know the Glovis Cosmos is due at Zeebrugge on 24th... not that I’m obsessively tracking it or anything, just because my car is on it! :rolleyes: Not sure what pier 80 is or means though? Is that for ‘arrivals’ or ‘departures’??

It may be many things, but a mustang it’s not! I personally don’t like overstyled cars - looks like it’s trying too hard. Definitely not for me.

Well I can honestly say all of this is way over my head. For us lesser mortals who don’t understand physics and techie-talk, I suppose the gist of it is ‘more heating In car = less energy left in battery’. Simples! :rolleyes::D

Me too! Relieved that it’s not just me, must be Tesla’s end.

It’s good to know what’s happening in the U.S. and we are very happy for others to join in our U.K. forum - just wanted to make it clear to others before they went deeper into post-order depression (it should be a diagnosed medical condition lol!). Drop in any time :)

It may make a difference that dodukes is in Miami, not the UK.

Bah, humbug! hope Christmas isn’t cancelled too :p

The ‘privilege’ of owning a Tesla eh? :D:p:D

You could always consult my crystal ball... probably as much chance of knowing as the SC lol! Seriously, why not just call them and put your mind at rest?

Hi ebjoseph, glad you’ve taken the plunge and posted a message. I’m in the same position and my car is also on the Cosmos - will be collecting from Birmingham. I’m not expecting it before the 1st week of December, but you might get it slightly sooner if you are further south? I would work on...

Good customer service is not about ‘not having any problems’ - it’s about how well things are handled when things do go wrong. Any organisation that ignores its complaints/escalation process will eventually suffer from lost sales and people leaving their brand or service, bad press etc. Tesla...

Despite them asking for pictures of it, mine didn’t go anywhere near the fuseboard, it comes directly from the meter which is on the outside wall, about 4 metres from where the Pod-Point is.

I had to chase them a bit as they seem overloaded with work - people not returning calls etc. But I stuck with it, all installed and no problems. Very happy with end result, took just under 4 weeks from start to install.
