Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Waiting Room and Delivery Queries (No referral links)

I've decided on a M3 RWD but haven't pulled the trigger yet as I want a 242 plate. Assuming I won't receive delivery until July at the earliest would I be given a 241 if I order in June?

got my vin and apparently mines due between June 6 - June 21 from Giga Berlin

I got my VIN yesterday evening for my Model Y.
They seem to be moving on the model Ys at the moment

Anyone have any issues with towbars and trailer mode on their car?

I bought a bicycle carrier from Halfords however trailer mode remains red when electrics are connected and twisted into position and lights are not activating. I've a 13 pin to seven pin adaptor en route today so I can check another item I have at home with an older 7 pin connection. I haven't logged a fault as I want to diagnose where the issue lies first - Halfords or Tesla.

Generally if you delay delivery across the quarter end they basically just reallocate the car and then move you to the back of the list which could mean waiting until the end of September.

They generally will do whatever it takes to close a delivery for quarter end due to their financial reporting and impact on share prices. In reality, I don't get the obsession with the 141/142 plates. Maybe for optics it looks better when you change from 142 to 151 but the six monthly move is nonsense really. It makes very little difference to the value of the car and there are many, many more factors that will dictate second-hand value. They could drop prices by €3k or €4k again in September and that would impact a buyer more!

Would you listen to yourself @redlead

Was this in relation to my comment - the towbar came with the car from the factory, the bike rack is from Thule so not aftermarket on the towbar side. Hopefully can pinpoint the issue over the weekend with something else connected.

I’d hold off for July at this stage. Even if they say they’ll reallocate your car, they’ll still need a new buyer to appear who wants that specific car, has the money in order today, and wants it a few days before the changeover.

As for the the original point about it being poor customer service by Tesla, you’re incorrectly assuming that Tesla cares about you, or the Irish registration system - once you’ve taken delivery of the car, they’re done and gone until you need your next new Tesla.

Tesla have a delivery ‘problem’ at the end of each quarter, as the market watches their delivery numbers closer than other manufacturers, and by all accounts so far, Q2 is looking pretty awful for tesla, with big year on year drops in sales.

so they’ll push you hard to take delivery in Q2, but I’d personally decline, and play chicken for that week

Will Tesla be hit with the new tariffs?

1. Yes.
2. Zappi will be fine. No adaptor needed for both cases.

Enjoy the day..

Really don't understand this policy,a new vehicle with no or very little charge. Surely not a big deal for an electric car supplier to put some bloody charge in it!
