When is your Tesla Model S due to arrive

[adamfawsitt]

My Tesla is saying "July" and I just spoke to Amsterdam and they are saying first week in July - very excited!

Would love a 85kwh model, but cannot afford one just yet ....may be in 3 years time when you upgrade yours I can buy it off you

That is a good thought and would work well for both of us. With no dealer system in the UK it will be interesting to see how used Teslas are sold and by whom.

Yesterday I tried one of the 2 RHD cars currently in the UK - in the 5 months since I drove the Model S there have been several improvements to the car. Nice touches to improve the software such as distance reading (in inches) showing up from the parking sensors as you approach an obstacle. There is more stitching on the dashboard and centre stack too. They have also implemented a Spotify type service for the car, you can use voice control to call up any song in the world that you feel like hearing and it gets played via the 3G link - very very cool.

This is going to be a very special and groundbreaking car to own I think.

Hello Richard and themes for your comments.

Given the range of 260 real world miles surely you could have a free charger installed at the overnight leg of your 500 miles 2 day journey and easily achieve it using Telsa miles?

I have just ordered a charger to be installed at the house of a friend of mine.

Dear Richard,

I now see your dilemma, with real world driving the range of the 85 model is more like 260 anyway which further strengthens your case to not put your toe in the water just yet!

Just to let you know all cars currently being produced for the UK have twin chargers installed whether you ordered them or not due to an issue that is too lengthy to go into!

Hi Mike,

My dashboard says July delivery but when I called Tesla for confirmation they were more specific and said last week in June or first week in July.

There is lots of information re Superchargers on the TeslaMotors forum but people have sent pictures of groundworks happening at South Mimms and a services on the M42 (whose name escapes me). There will be 8 Superchargers accross the UK by the end of the year which should provide for great cross country adventures without charging constraints.

Best regards,

Adam

Congratulations - you will love the car.

And to you Tim!

Slippery, if you are an audiophile you may want to rethink the audio upgrade, I had a Tesla specific upgrade installed and several owners have now done the same thing.

PM me if you want to discuss.

Enjoy the new car - mine scheduled for May delivery...

Speak to your Tesla Delivery Specialist - you can change your spec up to just before the car goes into production.

Try LV, Admiral and Chubb none of whom require a tracker to be fitted to Model S.

[adamfawsitt]

Try calling them - several people have had confirmation in writing that they are happy to accept the Tesla 'standard tracking' capability.
