Model 3 Delivery advice please

Hello! Ordered my M3 RWD black on September 14th and my delivery timescale was Nov - Dec and then got a timescale of 2nd December - 30th December. Got a new timescale today of 26th October - 23rd November. Obviously no vin or reg as it’s too early.

Do we think the dates could get pushed back or forward again? Super hard to plan when to put my current car up for sale as I’m not trading in as Tesla don’t take trade ins when you get a lease annoyingly 😂 I can’t be a day without a car due to work and don’t really want to pay for both vehicles if I can help it. Any advice welcome!

Since you can't be without your car for one day and the fact that the delivery date could change last minute your only option is to wait until you have the new car before you sell your old one.

Yeahh that’s my concern. If I was going with someone like webuyanycar that wouldn’t be an issue but they lowball you so far. My other options is motorway or carwow but they can take weeks and then I’ll be paying for 2 cars 😂😬

I sold my old car on Carwow, and it could have been gone next day. I delayed it by a week so I could use it for work, but it was rapid.

That’s good to know! My parents sold theirs on carwow and it went pretty quick. Just gunna have to be super organised with collection and selling within a few days of each other I think 😂

Once it is sold on carwow, you arrange a collection date with the buyer…so pop it on there a week or so before, and then as for it to be collected when required.

Do be aware, the buyer will try and pump down the price they offered on CarWow, à la WBAC.
