Yes. Ordered on 16/03 and lucky getting delivery on Wednesday 21/12, although the SA is trying to make it earlier.

Mine too.

I always accepted the 9 month maximum delivery limit as their best estimate at the time. My point was, that given the difficulties faced by all car manufacturers, I thought they did pretty well.

I calculated my delivery appointment is only 5 days beyond the 9 month maximum delivery limit given by Tesla when we ordered. Not bad considering the hiccups caused by Covid lockdowns and Port delays

Just got our pick up appointment. Wednesday 21st Dec. A pleasant surprise just before Xmas.

Morning Crystal has left its holding pattern and is now heading to Port Kembla. Hoping our cars are on this ship. Will soon know if the VIN appears on the RAV website.

Great news for you. Has your vehicle appeared on the RAV database yet (Register of Approved Vehicles)?

It's not so much about the speed but the reliability of the medium over the long term. Most SSD's weren't designed for frequent high speed writing and reading, whereas dedicated video storage medium were.

I don't use a hub, but I've installed a 256GB SanDisk Max Endurance Card partitioned into 2 partitions. One for Tesla Sentry/Dashcam and 1 for my music. Just be aware that you must use a high speed read/write medium suitable for the Tesla camera recordings.

With a build date of 28/11, I don't believe your car will be on the Cherry or Crystal. FYI the Morning Crystal is due to dock at Port Kembla at 1800hrs tonight. Any cars on this ship for Melbourne/Adelaide will most likely be offloaded, transferred to the Morning Cherry the next day for onward...

Like you, I believe my M3 is on either the Morning Crystal or Morning Cherry. My strategy is to check the RAV site daily to see if the car has officially "entered" Australia. Still hopeful of a pre Christmas surprise 🤞

Mine also

I've always had good responses by sending an SMS to the number they text you about your car being available. The premium slim plates adds about $189 which is what Service SA charge as an extra.

I asked for Premium slim plates. I don’t know about Custom plates

The invoice doesn’t appear until sometime after the messages are received. The refresh button is your friend. I asked for premium plates and just received a phone call from Tesla Adelaide confirming they will action it ASAP. They are very prompt in Adelaide
