Less than 5 hours to go for me. Planning on being at the Trafford Centre by about 11.00am which is slightly early, but not by much. Check list at the ready!Had my telephone call from Tesla today confirming I still want to collect the car on Thursday (doh!) and that I’ve watched all the videos (about a hundred times!)
Seems the closer it gets the more slowly time moves…
Exactly right, you should get a letter from the DVLA within 14 days confirming you no longer own it.If my memory serves me correctly I don’t think you do sign it when you trade a car in. From what I recall the car is marked as transferred into the motor trade with DVLA by the dealership and then when it’s marked as leaving the motor trade when sold then that triggers a new V5 to be sent to the new owner.
Might be wrong though as it’s been a while since I traded a car in!
Yeah they pretty much acted as though I was putting them out by being there. If I didn't love the car so much I'd probably be a bit disappointed by the collection experience.Exactly right, you should get a letter from the DVLA within 14 days confirming you no longer own it.
When I sold mine in to Trade Centre UK they did it online and gave me the print out from the DVLA there and then, sounds like Tesla don‘t do this even though It takes like 30 seconds.
In these days of Omicron that's exactly what I want. (And no doubt what they want, too)They just asked me to take a picture of the mileage on my trade in, looked at the picture, took the keys and v5 and pretty much said right f*@k off hahaha not quite but it was literally; the car is open, keys are in the glovebox, your free to leave when your ready.
To be fair, it sounds like things have moved on a bit since I last did this. With everything being online these days, there should be far less risk of clerical errors, too.So in my haste I just did as I was told and didnt think about the V5! So I have no receipt or anything, only thing going for me is that Tesla is a big reputable company so I will trust they do the right thing for now!
I sold my old car to Cazoo before they gave me a lift <1 mile up the road to Thorpe Park to get the Tesla (I was planning to walk, but it was raining and they offered a lift!).So in my haste I just did as I was told and didnt think about the V5!

Same for me, no notice, but was half expecting it anyway after so many on here have experienced the same. I'm sure it will get sorted, prefer to have the car for sure.well looking today closer and no USB ports at the font. I wasnt informed on the day so I am very upset. Shoddy service to say the least.
Same happened to me. I sold via Carwow (Wizzle) and had an extra 1000 miles on. The guy turned up, just said he is picking up. Checking the car very quickly. I showed some marks but he wasn't interested. Just wanted the keys on V5 and left after I was paid. Got what I asked for too. Like you said, I didn't even bother washing the car, I didn't have time.Yeah they pretty much acted as though I was putting them out by being there.

What I would say is a positive about all of this is, if your trading your car in.. dont bother to wash it like I did and I probably wouldn't worry about scratches or dents showing up after your valuation. Also I had but almost 2000 miles on my trade in since valuation and it didnt seem to bother them!
I'm afraid that feeling isn't restricted to M3 owners. There is nothing else out there that offers the same overall package IMO. I'm on my second MS and have a test drive of an Audi etron GT this week. It's slower, less range, has a boring interior, not as much tech - nothing going for it really. I'm driving it becasuse the dealer said why don''t I take it out whilst he's finalising my daughters collection of her new car.How many other new M3 owners now feel that going to any other vehicle manufacturer is a no no!
no probs...was on this thread reading so long I just automatically posted on here due to the excitement ...should have put on collection and delivery experiences etc...thanks to all in this thread which is a testament to the 600+ posts...a great source of information which made the pending delivery more bearable, so glad my waiting time is over though! hope all goes well for everyone else...enjoy!I'm afraid that feeling isn't restricted to M3 owners.

Attempting to bring this roughly back on track, I'm enjoying reading all these collection posts
So right - I’ve had a fair few want to race me also and somewhat childishly ive pulled away when I got fed up of the tailgating. RS5 couldn’t keep up. Its stupidly fast let’s be honest.Had the car for two weeks now. I've had lots of people ask about the car, compliment it and ask lots of questions about what its like to drive/network etc.
Most people are really interested. Which is good. I'm happy to answer their questions.
I have to say though I've definitely come across quite few "Richard Heads" that try to race me or get up my backside more than normal. I love the fact I know I could probably out pace most cars if I wanted to. I just use the power mostly to overtake on the motorway.
Yea, I didnt hear anything until the day after when they text to say "congratulations you have reached the end of your delivery journey"Morning all, long time lurker here. Delivery day is today, I’ve heard nothing yet though, except a text yesterday about the missing USBs, is that normal!?
Can't 'like' yet but thanks for answering.Yea, I didnt hear anything until the day after when they text to say "congratulations you have reached the end of your delivery journey"
No worries. If you don’t have a checklist yet then you’re free to use mineCan't 'like' yet but thanks for answering.
Used your check list and it's great, Thanks! ...it does allow you to take a step back, calm down and look at the car methodically as most people are just looking all over the place and missing things as want to drive away ASAP...only took about 30-minutes checking off the list so left there confident of no collection problems!No worries. If you don’t have a checklist yet then you’re free to use mine
Tesla Inspect UK - it’s quite extensive (maybe too much so) but it saves you missing anything
