    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My 2022 M3P came with heated steering wheel and front and rear heated seats at no extra cost

    Hang in there. I ordered my M3P on 6/11/21 with an 8-12 week delivery. It finally arrived 7-1/2 months later on 18/06/22. Now I’m driving it, the wait is long forgotten.

    Yes, they issue loan documents, but they won’t settle (ie pay Tesla) until one or two days prior to delivery

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I believe mine would have been one of the last, being in the group of reallocated demos to land in June. A colleague of mine ordered a P a month after me, and had his delivered in late February. He got some one else’s cancellation.

    Thanks, but I copied it from someone else when I first joined. From all the questions on here, maybe I should add shIp docking date, ship unloading date, VIN date, and Invoice date…. But then no one would talk to me….

    I can’t understand all these “suspension to stiff/harsh” comments. I’ve had my M3P with the stiffest suspension and the 20” wheels for 3 weeks now, and it’s just right, or in fact, perfect. In my opinion, anything softer would feel like a blancmange around corners and wallow over undulations.

    I don’t believe any P vins have been released since mine, which was May 25. Car was delivered on June 18

    I paid when I got an update in my app saying delivery would be Jun 5-13. I could have left it later, as delivery ended up being on 18/6.

    My delivery date was 18/06/22 in Brisbane. I got my invoice and VIN on 24/05. From what I recall, the Morning Clara docked at Port Kembla around 03/06. Build date was 26/04. Hope this helps.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    On a positive note: Took the M3P for its first long run on Thursday. Narangba to Bunya Mountains via Indooroopilly , and then back via the same route. Started with a 100% (490km) charge. Navigation recommended stopping at Toowoomba Supercharger on the way up for a 10 min top up ($9), and on the...

    Build date of April 26. Mine has driver's side lumbar support. Unfortunately no adjustable bolsters... (the M3P definitely needs them)

    You accept this, then you will get your VIN

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    The cars delivered in Q2 were NOT leftovers from Q1. Mine was manufactured on April 26, and delivered on June 18, which means it was a new arrival

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    When I got my VIN on 25/05, Morning Clara was parked off Fraser Island. It then stopped at Brisbane, then went to Port Kembla, and unloaded the cars there. Given the current location of the ship now, there’s a reasonable chance they are on it.

    I’m a bit disappointed that Hoopy hasn’t got a vin yet. He was pretty good when I first joined, but as time went on he became more disillusioned with the process. I hope he gets a vin in this batch

    Once you have accepted that, you should be able to find your VIN in the source code

    On another note, I just noticed the prices for accessories on the Tesla app jumped considerably overnight.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yup, Hazy and I both had our cars delivered last Saturday. There were also 13 others in Qld, and 134 others around Australia. So I'd take this 'guesstimate' with a grain of salt...

    So, my first OTA update done. Was a little dodgy, as my wifi won’t reach the garage, so I hotspotted to my phone, and had the phone on wifi. Dropped out a couple of times, but got there in the end. Now rockin 2022.16.1.2

    My agreed value is $95k and premium is $1800 for same inclusions, but then again I’m an old fart with 4 cars on the policy.

    As I mentioned earlier, I included the unlimited hire car, as we all know how long it could take to get parts.

    M3P came with 235/35-20 Pirelli P Zero's. They'll definitely be changed to 255/30/20 when they wear out... and I think some lowered springs will find their way onto the car as well

    We had an X5 called "Tessie" (the tuff truck). My wife says the new M3P could be "Tessie 2" but it seems a bit naff to me

    The EL0N easter egg..

    So, I'm picking up my Model 3 Performance tomorrw morning, and I just wondered how many people, if any, have the EL0N easter egg in their VIN. It was the first thing I saw when my VIN was allocated.... LRW3F7EL0NCXXXXXX I saw an article about a Model Y from Shanghai also had it. Any others?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Thanks. I guess for many of you being quote d 7 months and getting delivery in 7 months is better than being quoted 8-12 weeks and getting delivery in 7-1/2 months

    I was told at the time of allocation that 150 demo Model 3s were being reallocated to customers, by three different Tesla reps.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I believe the cars being delivered now were all meant to be demo vehicles, both Model Ys, and approx 150 Model 3s. The decision to reallocate the demo Model 3s to customers was made while they were on the water.

    Since the quote said “cars manufactured from June…”, it’s pretty clear. Doesn’t worry me either way.
