This. So much this. When I receive my car I won’t be using any third party application or service that communicates with the car. Tesla-made only for me! I could be rather paranoid, but the experience seems to be good enough without the third party stuff. Even intelligent octopus scares me...

I was told that too, so I selected a “midlands” one assuming that was the NEC (the car had to have been on a boat at this point as it was early Nov). Turns out it was Stratford upon Avon SC, but then it gave me the option to collect from Staines. This was all after reserving it. I’d assume...

I arranged my collection date at the start of Nov. Definitely no ships docked. Reg was received 2 weeks before collection, again before any ships were docked. It just happens when it happens, some time after VIN allocation!

You will only pay the luxury car tax on an EV first registered after April 1st 2025. Cars registered before then just pay the base rate. I consider that damn lucky! Taxation here was inevitable, which leads on to answering your final but about paying exempt road tax… It’s £0 road tax which you...

There is a lot of existing inventory stock for those who haven’t had VINs yet who want one sooner. Lots of MYLR, even a couple of M3LR!

If you keep clicking you end up on a page that has the button to get the “Wire transfer” details (American lingo). You’ll then get the account number, sort code and account name etc. Everything you need to do a bank transfer. I did £100 as a test payment on Monday and it was deducted from my...

here’s hoping VINs are sequential…. I’d take USS over “softer” suspension and back seats better for adults

I rang them up after ordering (my July order wasn’t lining up with the boats, and an appetising existing stock car appeared!) to see if I could arrange collection, and after booking it all in (28th) all the money related stuff appeared.

I’m yet to see anyone as low as mine… PC542! Still 2023 “model year” Will be interesting to see what it has or doesn’t have. Haven’t heard about USS so it may have it (but then I ordered from stock so may be hidden away in small print), and who knows if it has any of the other upgrades -...

01628450660, option 2

Just ring them - that’s what I did. I then arranged a pickup date over the phone

If you pay for a blue tick on Twitter, Elon let’s you go fast in your Tesla! In all seriousness, no you cannot change it.

So I had an unprompted “we’re delivering throughout December and January, which is new to us but is what we’ve all been told” from an advisor this week. whilst it’s not set in stone, she did seem genuine (almost laughing when I was laughing saying “yeah right”), stating that’s what they’ve all...

They’d rather sell on the new interest rates than previous - so that’d account for some of the lack of assignment of in stock. Also someone pointed out: if someone’s already waited 8 months, then Tesla can probably hedge their bets and get an impulse buyer, whilst the original person will...

Another fun one is accidentally leaving something “off” because you aren’t keeping track of the flags. You’d hope they don’t have crazy dependencies between features such that combinations cause issues, also pigs may fly. It could well be that level of craziness that causes the regular issues...

If anything we should be *happy* that they’re so feature flag heavy. I like the fact that someone can turn off a feature if there’s critical issues without the need for proper code changes. Granted I’m going to be incredibly biased with my response but it can be all to easy to assume a lack of...

It was a different location. It just said “midlands” which I wrongly assumed meant the NEC. When I rang Tesla they said you have to collect from whatever location it is at - in this instance it was Stratford upon Avon Tesla SC I believe (they obviously move the unsold stock so they don’t clog...

Skipped the queue and swapped to an existing inventory MYLR - only change in spec was to the 20s… however ordering the gems originally has been playing on my mind anyway. Pick-up date booked, plates on retention on current car. Almost time to sell! To say I’m excited is an understatement.

Are you trading in a vehicle? The old one could be your trade in?

Seen a few dropping…. Hopefully lots more to come! Although I struggle to see how a shower can be drawn out so given my lack of EDD change I’ll resign myself to waiting a few more boats! Perhaps these are cancellations from other boats such as Summit? Given the “schedule your collection” texts...

That EDD won’t have a hidden VIN I’m afraid. With a hidden VIN comes an EDD for just after a boat docks… and the shoots currently sailing all dock this month I’m afraid. We’ve got to hold tight for now!

There was a bit of a VIN shower yesterday. Need to bear in mind it could be possible that it’s heading to Zeebrugge after Southampton. Also it could just be not many forum members have ones assigned but it’s a full ship! I’d suggest the RCC Europe ship has sailed for you if you have no hidden...

I did think that. Not even on the same bloody island!

It also could be in NI. I didn’t bother asking where it was specifically as they weren’t willing to move it a couple of hundred miles closer to me haha

Also a couple of YLRs on there! A white one in Scotland/Northern Ireland and a red one in “east” England. Spoke to a TA and they checked with their supervisor and you’d have to be able to collect from the location it’s in, so I couldn’t get the white one :( Interestingly this TA also...

I feel your pain! If Mr M is right we may get different news next week!

I’m very much not with a VIN yet from July 12th :) one more boat maybe? Also worth checking if later orders are leasers as that can skew things. Mine is Tesla direct. I reckon one or two boats after RCC Europe would clear up July direct orders for MYLR based off how far the “queues” are...

Did you get the USS message in your account? Think I’ll be waiting for the nth ship at this rate 🤣

What’s your EDD?

VIN won’t tell you ship. First 3 digits tell you factory (which you know will be Shanghai anyway), there is a few other pieces to designate model year etc. but absolutely zilch relevant to delivery! Other than you have one, so it’s on its way. Also your VIN may even change as you could end up...

Is it curious that Hyperion Ray isn’t stopping in Singapore? Does that indicate a smaller load, bigger fuel tank or shorter journey (ie to Koper, unless my geography is rubbish!), or just me missing stuff and/or being stupid?

Well, are brake lights PII?! you live in a small village, of which there’s <10 teslas - of which you recognise the plates but not sure who owns which. You also know that of those 10 owners, 9 used to be BMW drivers and therefore the 1 left over was the safe driver. So if the brake lights came on...

Would be remarkably close to my latest EDD. For what it’s worth, for Q3 my forwards EDD shifts happened as a boat lined up, and then one never lined up with my final one of the quarter, which us something I assumed this one also was: the EDD range *after* RCC Europe, for a boat that will never...

Is it worth raising support requests given that this isn’t an isolated case? Sounds like a bug to me especially if audio in general isn’t present at the start of a journey.

Ah OK that makes me wonder if it is from the previous flood of VINs rather than the latest ships to depart. either way congratulations!

What EDD comes with this VIN drop? Also what’s your order spec?

Looks promising for another disappointment 😂 It’s all fun and games. As I’ve said in the past, if it comes in Q1 that’s still faster than competitors so I’m happy! May even have parking sensors again by then 🤣

EDD roulette wheel has spun again! Whilst I know I’m getting major Q3 vibes, I can’t help but get my hopes up! EDD journey plus order details in sig.

He uploaded a short when it was being loaded a few days ago (it’s already departed) and he commented saying it’s mostly RHD. They’ve had shipments go to both Southampton and Zeebrugge! It’s only a few minutes long video - different to the hours they spend loading!!!

I hope not! Haha There hasn’t been a fresh wave since it left. The GLOVIS SUMMIT wave happened whilst Amsterdam was loading. The Amsterdam wave would happen today/tomorrow if it hasn’t already (SUMMIT allocation spanned a couple of days, so it could be Amsterdam happened….)

Yeah we all need to remember that a MYLR is still likely to be <9 months, which is better than it’s competitors! BUT I STILL WANT IT NOW

Hopefully mine can follow suit! The EDD rollercoaster has been quite a ride here, and my Zappi is very lonely!

Hopium can suggest that movement = things are happening. Hopefully that means mine can get dragged into this quarter

For a bit of Friday afternoon hopium, last week lots were bumped to 2023, then came back as it seems GLOVIS SUMMIT departed. So who knows, this could be the next boat loading up 🤣

Only four months?! That’s amateur figures right there 🤣 I’m grateful my spread is currently only 7 months so far - check my signature for ideas on what to expect with the EDD rollercoaster…

Me too! I had hopes my October EDD hinted at a nice queue position. Now I seem stuck in Jan - Mar! When my Jan - Mar change happened I wasn’t too bothered. Now VINs are raining, I absolutely am bothered! Haha

Could be a good sign for you and the boat(s) lining up!!! Hoping mine does the same! As I was an Oct date, and then yesterday Jan - Mar - we saw similar behaviour last quarter

This time I’m not disappointed as my Oct - Nov timeframe was totally impossible given the lack of boats! Atleast movement tends to mean things are happening…

Snap! Who knows, may pop back to this quarter by next week! Kind of inevitable that this would happen given the lack of boats

Same spec as me. All very weird isn’t it? The joys of EDDs! My gut feel is that it’s just plain wrong! Although if it’s correct then the timing is a right pain for me, so that’s the kind of Sod’s Law I can get behind.
