    If your car was to arrive today, they could ask you to take delivery. If you refuse they will offer it to the next person. But you most certainly do not loose your order. Your name goes against the next batch of cars. Could be week or a month later though!

    But in reality, over the holidays, I doubt many cars will be delivered.

    Different story if it was the first week of the month. BMW used to do the same when the i4 was in demand. People told to register in December or loose their order! Doubt many brands can do that nowadays.

    The car will be registered usually the day before or day of delivery. It really depends whether you bought a car that was avaialble for delivery and if so you will have been offered a delivery slot (or will be offered one very shortly). You will have the option to accept or reject but if you reject you run the risk that the car will be offered to someone else if they can agree a sale …thats just how it works. Its nothing to do with ego but all about sales and Tesla is a public company who reports quarterly and their financial perfrmacne is scrutinsided by the market and its all about "sales vs projections" and their accounting policy is such that Revenues can only be reflected of. a car is oredred, paid for AND delivered. If all of these conditions are not met the car is not included in their sales figures which explains why there is always a push to get all available cars "delivered. Its not clear if your car had a "Showoom Adjustment or free supercharge milage for a year which are incentives offered to purchasers conditional on delivery by 31st December .

    Best of luck with it all

    Hi all

    Been a while, been loving my MY.

    But alas, tonight I got a whack on the windshield by a stone or something and there's a chip on the windshield. Does anyone know the best way to go about sorting this? Do I go to Tesla or my insurance first (have windshield cover on my policy, but insurance companies tend to go for the cheapest option and not the best option if you get me)?

    I know this may not be the right forum so apologies in advance and happy to move this to the right place.

    Merry Christmas everyone regardless 😀

    1. Insurance.
    2. They will direct you to their preferred supplier.
    3. arrange with preferred supplier but insist on oem Tesla glass as the spurious versions can give trouble. I’ve heard of spurious ones having to be removed and refitted with OEM ones. Causes more delay and cost to the windscreen company.

    My brothers MY was done by Autoglass Dublin Airport. No issues afterwards and they used OEM Tesla glass. In fact they specified they will only use it as they had trouble using the spurious ones.

    Hi future Tesla owners 😁

    I placed my order last nite....and it says est. delivery is Dec 24.I presume this won't happen?

    I don't want it to happen with a matter of hours away from a 251 reg 🤣

    Also... How does the registration work. Does it go by your registered home address?

    So excited now...

    Can’t see it coming this side of the new year to be honest.
    What ever details you have in your Tesla account is the registration details from memory.

    Make sure you test drive and recalibrate the camera before signing off, read posts on other fora of excessive wind noise and calibration issues

    My stuff on Adverts, mostly Tesla Pre Highland Model 3

    Bear in mind that the 0.99% finance is finished on December 31st afaik.

    Wind noise I’ve had before on a VW replacement. Turned out a small section of sealant as missing. They had to carefully remove the screen, reapply the sealant and refit.

    Was only apparent at 90km/h and above. So yes, deffo test and go straight back if any issue.

    it really depends on whether it was an Inventory car that had incentives attached such as Showroom Adjustment as these are provided to ensure available cars are shifted before quarter end (thats why they have reduced price) .

    Are you sure about that? I've an email from Finance Ireland [shameless plug]available to anyone using my referral link[/shameless plug] that the rate of 0.99% will apply regardless of delivery date if that is the rate available when you first apply.

    I don't know specifically re the current offer, but the Tesla site definitely says that the 0.99% is for vehicles ordered and delivered by December 31st - and I've certainly heard of Tesla being absolutely militant re similar previous finance offers (i.e. forcing folks to register late December to get cheap finance). Now, it may be extended, but chances are that won't be known until January given the Tesla "computer says no" approach.

    Extension will probably be dependent on how sluggish sales are in the coming weeks. January means nothing to Tesla, focus is usually on results at end of each Quarter.

    Ah crap really? So I am guessing (from reading the posts) that even tho I applied for fiance before the dead line,Tesla won't honour at the %? Not the best first impressions tbh.

    I was in the Tesla Centre yesterday and they told me if I placed the order before end of December they would give me the 0.99 rate. I did state that their website states delivery by end December and they assured me that would not be the case.

    Ask for it in writing, they don’t always tell or even know the truth.

    same case with me. I asked them to send me in writing(and they did) that .99% will be honored in any case such as price increase due to tariff or increase in apr from FI if the order is placed before 31st dec 24

    Don’t rely on those dates, they could change several times yet before you get something reliable.

    You know when you are offered a dleivery appointment. Good signs are availaibilty of a VIN and a narrower EDD range. Its not associated with asking for payment although clearly you will need to pay before delivery!

    Website now says 0.99 as long as car ordered and delivered by March 31st, so offer extended.

    Just wanted to confirm something as well. As I know this pops up from time to time.

    I spoke to the manager of Finance Ireland (before offer was extended on www). He informed me that even if Tesla had removed the 1% offer, if your application is in, you are guaranteed that rate. In fact,he went on to say that the only way your rate would be changed before drawn down, was is if Tesla had a better offer on. They would honour the lower rate

    I know the information is not as relevant now with the www extended offer, but still, thought I'd post it :-)
