[Sat 16th 09:50] On chat with Tesla, trying to work out next steps and when to reschedule, and theysay the doc has just been upoaded from CA, so can still collect and reschedule for 12 as have to return Hertz car i've been using before they close.
[Sat 16th 12:30] Have my new Tesla!!
Looks like it was built end of Dec '23 so was probably on the Morning Carol that arrive earlier this month
All worked out in the end, but shame that Tesla's preferred finance partner couldn't up its game and make it seamless and completely hassle free. The delivery agent wasn't all that surprised.
Charged to 97% and got the 100 supercharger miles.
