You are correct.
I was talking with a Tesla rep about this today and 'The Farm' is not the Byron Bay one, it's actually just out of Newcastle apparently. Little bit longer of a drive from Brisbane.

At least they have the number 3 in it. There's always a silver lining if you look hard enough!

She told me she chose that combination because she was from Chiswick (London W4), I am from Narrikup (NK) and I had a model 3 Reservation, seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Tesla brings back 'unsustainable' free unlimited Supercharging perk - Electrek
Only for S and X possibly to perk up sales and only for first owner and not transferrable. Not for 3 as those sell all they can make anyways and 3 would not be sustainable in long run.

For a moment I read that as “I’ve always paid with a blank cheque.”
I know that many people will do just about anything to support Tesla, but that would be taking things a bit far...
Initially I thought you were having a lend, but if you have actually got those plates I am surprised they were permitted. That plate is not allowed in NSW (no existing car has it, and trying to order it results in an error “Sorry, Plate is not available”).
Yes Tonsley. The Sloan Ranger used to do mobile service but last time i had to go to Tonsley. It was the first time i had been to the innovation center and it was a real eye opener. Lots of interesting things happening at Tonsley.
Was just reading the review of M3P+ on Paul Maric of CarAdvice. What has me hopeful is that in the comments someone asked him when his order is arriving (as he has ordered a perf as well) and his response may be telling:
Of all people with inside access to Tesla, hopefully he isn't being BS'd like the rest of us and Tesla would tell him the truth.

The most interesting thing happening at Tonsley when you first go there is playing a game called “finding tesla”.

To me this reads as if he has been told exactly the same thing as everyone else - i.e. late August/ September.
Not sure why your "BS" reference has to come into it.
Not sure about anyone else, but I was never promised a June or July delivery...
Three weeks ago I was promised delivery arrangements would be occurring the next week. Nothing. Then it was the week after. Nothing.
They said they would finalise dates 30 days before. I'm just saying they should provide much more clarity regarding their planning. With BMW you (or the dealer) know exactly where your vehicle is in the production side of things. I understand it's late August, but on their site it says August, not late august. If they were a bit more clear about all of this, I think their phone lines wouldn't be flooded 24/7. That's probably why they sent us that SMS last week, to quell the hordes of people calling in.
I love Tesla as much as the next person, but they tend to fly by the seat of their pants with this stuff.
It makes selling your old vehicle that much more difficult. Also, as I mentioned before you have to accept delivery within 7 days or they reassign your car. If you go on holiday/leave you are SOL.
Can understand where Tesla is coming from, many reasons could delay delivery date, so better to not be disappointed until a firm delivery can be given.
Anyway, it can't be too far away by the sound of the text.

Will probably buy M3P, blue with white interior....just not sure I should buy a new S or go a 3....I’ve not seen the Gen 2 seats in real life yet and hoping they’re much better than the Gen 1 seats....

I worked out a long time ago, that local Tesla staff know little or no more than what you can read about directly from official Tesla/Elon pronouncements.
I have found any attempt to try and pry out more information from local Tesla personnel is an exercise in futility.
Could this have something to do with Tesla being listed on NASDAQ and the SEC not wanting to see a local sales person knowing the exact delivery date for a new geographic region before the official Tesla/Elon announcement has been made? I wonder...
If traditional car manufacturers can sell more cars by telling their customers "exactly where their vehicle is in the production side of things" good on them. That can be their point of differentiation.
I suspect Tesla is aiming to differentiate by other measures.
Given that my old car is worth somewhere between very little and nothing at all, I do not share the same stress and tension about arranging its disposal as you do, but I admit that that can indeed be a cause of frustration.
I have cancelled all holidays and social events and rescheduled all non-critical medical procedures for the months of August and September.
