Thanks a lot! Yes tbh I may eventually just give in and get our actual electrician to do it. I don't know what he did when he fitted our existing outdoor socket. All I know is that we had a double 3-pin socket inside in exactly the right position for where we wanted the socket outside, and I...

We recently had an electrician fit a 3-pin external socket, but now we have our new Tesla I would like to change it for a 32A commando socket for faster charging. (Not planning on getting a dedicated EV charger for now). The electrician said it would be a straight swap from the old 3-pin socket...

It's a good suggestion, and as you say, if I force-close the app then I don't get the bluetooth notification. However, as soon as I force-close the app, I get a different notification 'Keep the Tesla app running for the best phone key experience' 🤦🏼‍♂️

Collected my MY yesterday from bluewater. Huge thanks to @Valentin1605 for arriving early enough to do my inspection for me! No issues except for a few small bubbles in the PPF. I'm in love with the car. The ride is excellent, the interior quality is amazing, the sound system is incredible. I...

Same for me. I have scheduled delivery on 27th and it changed this morning to same as you. Also delivery date disappeared from app. But I'm not worried about any of it. They seem to change stuff all the time. We both have confirmed delivery date so should all be fine.

It's frustrating that if you speak to different people or push a bit harder, you get different responses. But to be honest, after Churchill were able to easily switch the registered keeper from me to my company, with no cost or increase in premium, I guess I don't really care any more. Whatever...

Tesla told me it will show on the V5C the registered keeper as Company name C/O my name When I phoned Churchill, the lady went to check with her team, and said this means I would need to modify my insurance policy to change the Registered Keeper from 'Proposer' (i.e. me) to 'Company'. They...

I'm collecting my MY next Tuesday from Bluewater, and I'm just trying to understand the whole 'checklist' process. From reading other posts on here, it seems to me that even if I find things wrong with the car, they won't be able to fix it there&then, and will just advise me to go home and book...

Well one thing I did notice was that many insurance quote websites ask 1) who is the RK and 2) who is the owner. But Churchill only ask who is the RK. I phoned them a few times, and they confirmed they don't even care who is the owner, only the RK. (Although they did agree to put a note to say...

Sorry I should have clarified; they said there was no admin fee but also there was no increase to the premium 🤷‍♂️ I can already see she made the change on my account and the premium cost hasn't changed

I just phoned Churchill and they said if Tesla put my company name, C/O my name, then I would need to change my Churchill policy to show the Company is the registered keeper, not me. But she said I can make that change for free. Then she said if when I get the V5C, they've actually put my name...

These posts about registered keepers vs owners when buying a car through a limited company go back several years so I can't believe there is still uncertainty and confusion, but unfortunately this is the position I am in now. I am collecting my MY next week, and I bought it using my Ltd...

Another update: as mentioned in my post above, yesterday I bought my insurance for £1523. Today I went on and got a new quote (I plan on doing this every day until my collection date to see if it goes down) and for whatever reason today it's quoting £1379. So I phoned them up and they said they...

Update: I got my reg this morning so just called up Churchill to actually buy my insurance. (I checked all companies & comparison sites again and Churchill still came out cheapest for me). The lady who answered this time confirmed they only care about the registered keeper, but she was able to...

Thanks for the info, makes sense! It's so weird being on the other side of this! 🤣 I'm normally the one reading posts that have been answered 1000 times losing my mind at why people don't search first, and maybe now I'll give people the benefit of the doubt occasionally. I did search and...

I haven't received a test with my reg yet but noticed the final invoice added to my account this morning and it has the reg on it. Does any body know how long it takes before the reg is recognised by insurance companies? When I type it in to insurance companies or DVLA checker it says not...

Yes. It seems pretty unambiguous reading through posts on this forum that the ltd company will be the owner but you personally will be the registered keeper. I have noted a few people saying Tesla 'messed up' the V5C and ended up putting the company as the registered keeper (incorrectly) so had...

Now I have a delivery date I've gone back and got quotes again. Churchill's website only asks who is the registered keeper, they dont ask about the owner. I phoned them and the guy basically said they only care about the registered keeper now, so the owner is kind of irrelevant. I felt uneasy...

Unsure if you're in the whatsapp group but there was a chat about changing the insurance quote by changing job title and someone posted a link which shows what reductions you can get based on a bunch of factors https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/car-insurance-compareplus/ I haven't been on that...

I spoke on the chat and asked them to put me back to Bluewater, which is closer to me than Staines and I never asked them to switch me in the first place 🤣 If you want them to switch you from Staines to somewhere else, I predict the app will start showing EDD again.

The app is blank because they changed Bluewater to staines. It happened to a few of us. Glitch in the app. I asked them to change it back to Bluewater and the EDD in the app came back.

Yes mine changed to '2022 Tesla Model Y' also. But only when viewing from the Account page (tesla.com/en_gb/teslaaccount), not from the car detail page (tesla.com/en_GB/teslaaccount/profile?rn=RN117*****) which still shows 'Adam's Tesla'

The working assumption is that this latest round of VIN allocations (23rd August AM) are from GLOVIS SUNRISE. Source: @Frizzy 's Tesla Ship Tracker

Mine's gone up £50 since I got a quote two weeks ago, but thanks to your recommendation to use Forza instead of my current provider, my finance may go down £1000. So still a big win. PS Happy birthday for yesterday! Hopefully you get a belated VIN-assignment today 🤞🏻

Ah I think that must be why! I've had my licence since I was 19. Good luck to you!

I'm also 29 and in London. Comparison sites didn't help me, I tried Admiral, LV, Churchill direct. My cheapest quote was Churchill for £1700 ish. That's with 10000 estimated annual mileage. Unsure why yours is so high.

See below -> if follow similar timelines to last batch, maybe August 31st/beginning of September.

Team, what do we think?

Useful info thanks to @nscar from previous round. So to all us getting VINs now, we may expect the text to pick delivery date about 31st August ish. Although the fact the VINs are oddly coming in at 6 am UK time, does mean that relying on anything that’s happened in the past is a bit risky.

From Mr M’s updates, it seems there are at least three different ships (CHALLENGE/SUNRISE/SUN) which could all be fully/part unloading in Southampton in quick succession starting about 10th of September, So it may be hard to pick between the ships based on small differences in EDD. I guess we...

The VIN is in! Just got my hidden VIN! LRWYHCEK2NC448***. Additionally, my EDD has updated to Sep 19-Sep 30. All order details in signature. I know it’s early but to celebrate, I’m pouring myself a Vin & Tonic and will make a nice meal tonight; haven’t decided yet between a Vindaloo or a Coq...

I think it's fairly clear from the lack of 'I GOT A VIN!' posts that nothing really happened today. I've only seen one person say their EDD moved, everyone else's seems stable. Perhaps it will be tomorrow afternoon! Or maybe even later this week (i.e. GLOVIS SUN). If being very optimistic, then...

In the last round of VIN allocations on 9th August, the first VIN post on here was 4.34PM (see quoted post below)... so I'm still hopeful! If not today, some time this week 🤞🏻

So today *could* be the day for the next round of UK VIN allocations (probably GLOVIS SUNRISE, maybe CHALLENGE). Unfortunately we are likely to see any VINs until 4pm ish, but I guess that means I should just make the most of my productive time before I lose all ability to concentrate. If it’s...

My reading of the situation is that there is some disagreement/uncertainty about which (CHALLENGE or SUNRISE) is responsible for the VINs, rather than the conclusion is it both. I think the hypothesis is that one of them should still go to UK (maybe as well as EU). And there's still a few days...

Was talking about baby names last night. I knew straight away where I could get some inspiration from... As a late April order, I do feel confident my car will be arriving on either GLOVIS CHALLENGE or maybe GLOVIS SUNRISE. Therefore, I know one of the kids will be called Glovis, but I'm now...

Congrats! It’s getting closer to my OD - I can almost feel it!! Now you can really enjoy the rest of your holiday 🎉

Only just catching up on today’s posts across a few threads but I haven’t seen any posts of people getting VINs assigned. Have I missed something? I’m really hoping to be in the next wave so I hope i didn’t miss it!

For those of us who can’t read between the lines and need it spelled out, does the news that GLOVIS CHALLENGE is heading to Singapore mean she isn’t going to South Korea (which was a potential destination), and suggest she may instead be heading to UK/Europe?

On live chat I was told a few weeks ago Bluewater wasn't being used in Q3 and mine was changed to Staines. But after seeing lots of people post delivery confirmations in Bluewater, I went back on live chat today and they changed it back to Bluewater for me 🤷‍♂️

The two-week delivery isn't necessarily needed. Looking back at old posts, it seems that in Q2, MORNING PEACE departed Shanghai 22 May 2022 and arrived in Southampton on 27th June for 3 wild days of chaotic collections (presumably only for people who could get to Southampton or the nearby...

A few months ago, my delivery location changed (by itself) from Bluewater to Staines. Also at some point, my EDD disappeared from the app (like all of you). I don't know if they happened at the same time because I didn't realise the Bluewater->Staines change for a while. I went on live chat...

I was told on 29th July that there were no Q3 pick-ups from Dartford which explained why my account was automatically changed to Staines, but the influx of posts here shows that isn't true so I contacted Tesla live chat again and they switched my account back to Dartford from Staines. She said...

Haha! I think if that somehow happened we all know deep down what the right thing to do would be... it's just a shame my wife would have to go through labour on her own. People do talk about the overwhelming feeling of joy on delivery day when you finally get your hands on your new baby, and...

I had a few hours off the forum yesterday and now trying to catch up. Everyone seems so glum and negative since I checked last 🤣 Did I miss something? If I'm right it seems that Mr M thinks GLOVIS CHALLENGE is going to South Korea, GLOVIS SPRING is not of interest, and GLOVIS SUNRISE is probably...

Such a ridiculous price and so annoying for you that it just keeps going up. I fear it will be the same for me when I check again in a few weeks. Good luck for September! I know how it feels when it all happens at once! If you're set on the car but insurance is too much, you could always still...

Ah I see. Well I guess you're saying MORNING PEACE in Q2 was an anomaly rather than common practice. I only started following this forum in early June so wasn't aware of that. Ok well let's keep our fingers crossed for the next week or two!

Well I had tried to do some calculations a few days ago (see this post: 2022 Shipping Movements) and I think we have until 1st/2nd ish of September for another ship to leave Shanghai until it’s logistically too late.

Sorry to potentially burst your bubbles @MattM76 @Dwards but I checked my account when you posted the screenshot and it did the same for me, but mine is a direct order with Tesla, not a lease. Mine was like that for about 20 mins but works again now, so I guess for me it was just an intermittent...

So *if* GLOVIS CHALLENGE leaves on Wednesday and *if* she is coming to UK, and *if* VINs get assigned roughly the same point as they did with GLOVIS COMPANION, then we would expect the next flurry of VIN allocations to take place this Saturday/Sunday! Nail-biting time.
