I ordered via lease company a few days ago, will I likely get one of the cars currently in transit to uk for a March delivery?

Looking at Tesla uk site, it’s quoting a 6 week delivery. Lease co says doesn’t know yet if it will be an end of March delivery, otherwise they are saying end of June....

We’re trying to time return of current vehicle, hence hoping to get an idea.

thanks

What spec did you go for?

White paint, black interior, aero wheels, no towbar and no FSD gives you the best chance of getting a car from the current batch I'd suggest.
That’s the exact spec (would anyone lease a different spec!?! smile )

Thanks for the reply

Picked up our M3LR on weds. We’ve driven it about 250miles so far (!) which is a reflection of how much we are enjoying driving it. Out other vehicles will prob do very few miles over coming months.

First impressions:
• feels special. Had Audi’s, BMW’s, Vw’s etc in past and this feels as well put together (maybe in a year it will be falling to bits) but more exclusive. The tech and refinement prob help here
• it’s quick
• it handles better than expected
• kids love it, especially the roof skylight in rear (my 7mth old just gargles to self looking up)
• it seems to attract dirt on rear. Front looks clean, rear like it’s been through a Welsh rally stage
• it’s about 20% more efficient than the e-golf it’s replaced
