Thanks, so perhaps I have a few days to wait then! Please let me know if you get your invoice today or not.

It's important to differentiate between brokers and funders when discussing this. The big funders (who provide deals to the hundreds of lease brokers out there) placed thousands of preorders, with delivery constraints. Probably hire companies too. Tesla want to deliver large numbers of cars, the funders want those cars out making money for them asap.There's no evidence of a lease biase but I offer these observations. Its likely that the lease companies will have large blocks of reservations allocated around the time that ordering is open to the public (perhaps before), so it follows thst they will make up a lot of the early orders. Queues are also based on spec, so those orders will also be mixed in with cash orders.
Sometimes those who order a lease car quite late seem to get them quickly. I've presumed that's because the lease company already had a car of that spec on order that was not assigned to a customer yet (perhaps a late cancellation).
Hi, I have ordered via Lex Lease and in London but in the same boat as you. I have been told I have a car allocated but only given March as an estimate. I have tried to ask for a fixed date but they wont give me one and say the VIN number will be given approx 10 days before delivery. They also said it would be home delivery or Bluewater but wouldnt say whichVery sad to see a drop off on this thread. It must mean that most Model Y orders have either been satisfied or got firm EDDs.
I am an early October 15 customer and also a January 2022 customer. I still only have the 15 - 29 March delivery band and when I speak or chat to CS the best they can tell me is there has been no firm allocation of my cars, no explanation, no apology, no customer service! They are about to lose 2 orders from me! If you read through this thread there appears to be a bias towards orders through leasing companies, orders being collected outside London, ie Newcastle, Manchester, Bristol, Southampton. In fact I have only seen one Model Y in London and that was in Kensington this morning? Is this theory correct?
Same boat as you, I’ve already paid for the car as of 2 weeks ago (they had requested payment so naturally I thought I must be closer to getting the car) estimated delivery date now shows 11th till 25th, read on Facebook about someone who ordered same spec as mine last week getting delivery on the 2nd of March, it’s really poor showing from Tesla but doubt they careVery sad to see a drop off on this thread.

From the same pickup location? If so, that is poor. If not, then it sounds like they're doing as they said. Delivery time affected by order date, spec & pickup location. So a bit of geographical luck is involved.Same boat as you, I’ve already paid for the car as of 2 weeks ago (they had requested payment so naturally I thought I must be closer to getting the car) estimated delivery date now shows 11th till 25th, read on Facebook about someone who ordered same spec as mine last week getting delivery on the 2nd of March, it’s really poor showing from Tesla but doubt they care
To be fair I’m not sure about pick up location, but I do think they should make better effort to deliver customers their cars, I had originally picked Brent Cross as my pick up location but now I’m being told that once I am given a date I’ll have bluewater as an option. I live in north west London so that is a bit of a journeyFrom the same pickup location? If so, that is poor. If not, then it sounds like they're doing as they said.

Tesla doesn't give any discount whatsoever, not even for large orders, lease companies etc... For them it makes no difference delivering a car to an individual cash buyer, or someone who signed a lease dealIt's important to differentiate between brokers and funders when discussing this.

I'm not saying this is right or wrong, or that there is a 'bias', but Tesla are acting like you should expect a business to act. They're not your friend.
Buying a car in it's first quarter of release is always slightly risky in one way or another. Add onto that all of the economic and supply strains the world is dealing with right now and you have a perfect storm for potential disappointment really.
When funders place large pre-orders for vehicles, they often negotiate preferential rates, and they often agree "penalties" for the manufacturer for late deliveries. With that in mind, my guess would be that Tesla are divvying up vast numbers of cars and splitting them up for these corporate customers and end user customers in a way that they think protects them from financial penalty, without pissing off too many of us. Sometimes that works out for us, sometimes not.
Do you know that for a fact? Because I’ve seen and heard to the contrary.Tesla doesn't give any discount whatsoever, not even for large orders, lease companies etc... For them it makes no difference delivering a car to an individual cash buyer, or someone who signed a lease deal

Maybe some Chinese whispers going on but I can’t think why funders would say this if it’s not true. Unless they’re taking an L to shift stock but I can’t think why they would possibly need to do that when Tesla are saying there is so much demand.They didn't give a discount to Hertz and Elon has repeatedly itreated on conference calls they "don't do discounts" when asked something along those lines. I know because I listen to every conference call, usually more than once:
They don't have a demand problem, so there's absolutely no reason for them to do so.
Outside of end of quarter deals they did previously what sort of discounts have you heard of?Do you know that for a fact? Because I’ve seen and heard to the contrary.
yes - at least according to discussions with Tesla management - even Hertz is paying the list priceDo you know that for a fact? Because I’ve seen and heard to the contrary.
The people I've spoken to at Zenith and Lex have told me that due to them placing big orders for end of last year going into this quarter, they are passing discounts on to their customers to shift numbers. As above, maybe this is poor communication on their part and they're actually taking the hit because they've got stock and want it gone quickly, but that's definitely not how it was described to me. They've also told me this is partly why there has been a (bigger than usually expected) difference between the monthly figures of PCH from funders vs PCP from Tesla (not to do with predicted RV which is what I quizzed them on)Outside of end of quarter deals they did previously what sort of discounts have you heard of?
If the SC is open on Sunday then why not?Had CS on the phone earlier - told me likely delivery date 20th March (9-23 March range on the account page) at Bluewater, and wouldn't tell me on which boat the car is right now. I realised afterwards 20th March is a Sunday, so not sure if that was correct - do they deliver on Sundays?
Exactly the same for me.Refused two Feb deliveries. Cash buyer, Southampton pickup, nothing , then all last minute. I must say that this forum did make me more twitchy. Pick up Wednesday. Red/black geminis( for softer ride lol). Big companies, if they were a person are called Sociopaths. Only small companies have to make more effort. You can’t please all the people…You just have to bare with it or as you say cancel (they won't mind either way). There is no consistency either way though.
I was also an early order cash buyer and collecting tomorrow and turned down two February delivery offers.
The thing grinds me is that there is no communication from them for a long time then 7 days before collection give me the final invoice for 59k with states must be paid 7 days prior to delivery. Im limited to 20k transfers per day, they were not the only ones that needed money transferred. Saturday, Sunday and Monday counts as a day. 4 days before collection, Im cutting it fine and they are pestering me for the last payment or risk losing delivery allocation.
After all is paid, I just get bombarded with calls and text messages in regards to collecting! ... Its a bit of all or nothing but its first world problems imho.
I can't comment on how the PCH and PCP financials work out as I haven't looked into that part relative to the purchase price.The people I've spoken to at Zenith and Lex have told me that due to them placing big orders for end of last year going into this quarter, they are passing discounts on to their customers to shift numbers.

Anecdotally, this does tally with a big difference in cost between funders who have stock they ordered last year vs those are ordering now on behalf of customers.
