So if I want to push to Jan Feb 23, do I need to call tesla (is there a number to call)? Do I just leave balance unpaid and reject collection date?

Doesn't seem to be much help on the support section of my account.

You wait until you get the text to say a car is allocated to you. You can’t do anything until then.

It asked if you are accepting this delivery. You say no.

I have heard conflicting reports, some say you just contact Tesla and request them to put a hold on your order (for a specified time or until you notify them to lift the hold) and they will usually oblige, although rumoured also not to be as flexible as before as many were, extending the hold period several times, in effect locking in lower price and speculating. Status on account seems also to reflect this hold status and allow you to automate the lifting ( if this image is still accurate)

Thanks for that. That's wat I thought but doesn't give you much to go on the account section.

It might work but I'm not aware of anyone in the UK or IRL that have been able to do it in recent times.

Some guys in UK have managed to get 6 month extension in March of this year...but i was unsure if that was a helpful Tesla employee that obliged or policy

Blue with white interior? I'll be happy getting my car in August. Everyone seems to be August - October.

I ordered last September, contacted them the next day to delay until Jan for 221 and picked up the car in march. Contact them just after ordering and tell them the date you would like and you will get a car that comes in in the next batch after that date, it is no problem.ive been through it. :)

I went for the blue with black interior, primarily to stay within the grant limit.

As for delivery dates, it looks like pushing out delivery to next year 'should' be possible for anyone who wants to do so. The risk with that is that there's no guarantee that the grant will be available in '23, assume we won't find out until the budget later this year.

Personally it would suit me better to take delivery in Q1 next year. However, if it arrives in Aug/Sep, then I think I will accept it really looking forward to moving away from ICE as soon as possible.

it should be supplied if ordered prior to 17th April 2022

Is there anyone getting a delivery around now? If they ship end of each quarter then there should be a delivery due in around now right?

It seems GigaShanghai will be undergoing upgrades/disruptions in July/August. That must raise serious doubts about the current EDD we are seeing.

Tesla Giga Shanghai to complete Model Y and Model 3 line upgrades early August (teslarati.com)

"The upgrades to Gigafactory Shanghai will reportedly be performed in stages. The Model Y line will reportedly be upgraded first, with the company halting most production of the all-electric crossover during the first two weeks of July. The Model 3 line’s upgrades are expected to take place for 20 days starting July 18. 

This suggests that by early August, the upgrades to Gigafactory Shanghai will likely be completed. And while Tesla China would lose a significant amount of vehicle production in the third quarter due to Giga Shanghai’s upcoming upgrades, the improvements in the facility should allow the company to produce an impressive number of Model Y and Model 3 for the last two months of the third quarter."

Giga Berlin may kick in M3 RHD for next year, who knows.

Separately, I'm surprised no price increase last week

Personally I am not at all convinced about the latest revisions to EDD of August to Oct as being accurate for cars ordered a week ago!. There is already a huge backlog from Shanghai disruptions, UK market is a volume market and experiencing long delays and shortfalls form Q2 deliveries ..i cant reconcile all of these and given the planned disruptions this quarter all conspire against these EDD. Berlin is only ramping up and focusing on Model Y Performance for now.

I am surprised also at no price rise. They all happened for Australia, US, UK and in the. past Ireland has followed suit. For once in my life I am hoping for a price increase as it locks in price for my recent order and increases value of by 2022 Model 3.

I agree, I'd also say all Tesla's will not qualify for the grant come the end of the year given inevitable future price increases. Second hand values will be above original Spring 2022 purchase price

ELM327

There's a bit of wiggle room above the current base (in white with aero wheels) M3SR for a price increase but it might soon be the case than any color or any change to interior or wheels costs you the cost of the change + loss of 5k grant

JOL1

With escalation in petrol prices cost of living increase and environmental commitments, I cant see the Government removing the EV grant at budget in October . Might just be the time to incentive change over and increase it!

They scrapped the grant for PHEVs unexpectedly last year, but I think very unlikely they will do same for BEV at this point in time.

I know it's not going to happen, but I would prefer to see VRT abolished on EVs and the grant (Or reduced grant) only available on lower priced cars. This would bring us more in line with the rest of Europe. Lower priced cars would remain similar enough to now, but because it would benefit the majority of more expensive family sized EVs, it is probably a non runner.

If the country is serious about transitioning from ICE, then we need more sales of EVs; the ones that manufacturers are presently producing are more expensive here than other European countries, mainly due to VRT (But also our higher VAT). How else will we have a supply of second hand cars in the future?

The word 'Grant' implies the government are giving (often wealthier purchasers) something for nothing. Reducing taxation often doesn't look so bad..🙂

slave1

All the grants in the world won't impact the supply issue

Got a text back from tesla number I was dealing with for the trade in quote, that I text about the delivery time coming in. Said the "estimation" can come in but it's "purely just a guide". If I want to push back, then contact them when I get delivery date and they will "see what options are open to me at the time".

Bit ambiguous but looks like an option to push out. He doesn't sound confident on the August to October window.

The short EDD is a bit dubious alright given the worldwide shortages and shutdowns etc I certainly wasn’t expecting anything sooner than 2023 but at this stage would probably take the M3 in the autumn if it comes, it may be a case that they have a RHD build run scheduled and we have made it in as part of the quota. Any of the autumn deliveries appear to be non white, did anyone that ordered a white in the last 2 weeks get an expedited date?

Got an update yesterday, Tesla cancelled the service. They said that it's a known issue with the firmware on the charge port ECU and that no hardware has to be replaced. They expect the problem to be fixed in the 2022.24 software update. They said if the problem persists I've to try turning off sentry mode, lock the car and walk away for a few minutes so the car goes asleep, then unlock the car and try charging again as this will be the equivalent of a 'modem reset'

Luckily I've only had one issue CCS charging since, and that sorted itself out by reinserting the plug.

Turn it off, turn it on again eh!
