Got my EST loan payment confirmation email yesterday (just after my original planned collection date), says it should arrive in my account within 5 working days... just as well I delayed collection of the car to mid December.

When did you email them the invoice?I missed a call from EST today, last I heard they were going to speak to Tesla directly to confirm the invoice I emailed over... seems the last steps to get the money can take a while?

I have no idea if there is a minimum residency in Scotland required - we've been here years. Best ring them up and ask.
The application does ask monthly income post tax, and monthly outgoings - but I was not asked for anything like bank statements for proof of outgoings. Just NI number and last three payslips I think, hard to double check as I don't seem to have received an electronic copy of what I put in the online application.

My mistake. Must go off your NI data then for evidence of income via tax records?
Sent my invoice 11 Nov. EST asked for invoice on 19 Nov, replied was the copy already sent fine? They replied 20 Nov saying, oops - invoice received - and they would check with Tesla. Phone verification attempted 23 Nov, phone verification done 24 Nov. 26 Nov, got email saying funds coming soon.
Haha a colleague moved 2 weeks ago. We’re going to test the waters after Christmas for a month and see how it goes. Pointless being in London atm.Easy. Move north. Apply for your Scottish flag to wave, gain access to all the extra space, ev grants and extra +1% tax rate!
So I got confirmation of my EST loan 2 weeks ago, with a deadline for submitting the documentation of last Friday - I had sent all but the final invoice that I was waiting on.
Gave up waiting and phoned this afternoon and within the hour received an email with notification that the final invoice is in my account so have now forwarded that on to the EST to hopefully meet up with the rest of the documents.
I'm due to collect 2 weeks on Friday so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly from here on in.
Very similar experience - asking when the final invoice might be available seemed to nudge them into making it happen. I wonder if they have some flexibility, and understnad that it is on the critical path for those of us applying for an EST loan?
Finally got an email from them yesterday saying the loan was approved. Now waiting for it to appear in my bank acocunt so I can forward it to Tesla.
Not counting any chickens given Glovis Crystal's dawdling in the Atlantic - but supposed to pick up Wednesday 16th
