Just jumping in to say I have been having this issue for the last few months. I suspect it must be software update related to the Traction Control or braking as I didnt notice it when I first got the car. It definitely only happens when the car is doing a sharp turn at low speed over uneven...

I have the exact same problem, started within the last 2 weeks. Latest version of iOS 13 and car just updated to 36.2.4 and problem still exists. Most of the time I just have to pull my iPhone 8 out of my pocket and the door will unlock. Its a massive pain. I got the car 2 months ago and the...

I had some minor delivery issues sorted the other day by Braedon at the Christchurch service centre. He has done an amazing job and he was a pleasure to work with. It is great piece of mind to know we have him here in Christchurch if needed. Unsure if he is also going to be the ranger going...

Got the call today. Delivery appointment for collection in Auckland on the 27th September. SR+ in White. Reserved 23/10/2018 , Ordered 09/06/2019. Hidden VIN showed up about a week ago and is 4987XX. @Vedaprime most likely this range is on the Merkur? I will let you know when I get my invoice...

@Vedaprime someone on NZ Facebook just got allocated a hidden VIN not in your list. 4994XX

I get the feeling (blindly optimistic) that even though our VIN shows on Vedaprimes list as being on the next boat that somehow it arrived on yesterdays. Just seems like too much of a coincidence that it would show up the day after a ship arriving. Also based on what you are saying about CarJam...

Is there any relationship with a VIN showing on CarJam to the car being in the country or not? Can CarJam see vehicles that have not yet made it into NZ? My VIN is showing on CarJam but is not showing WOF or Reg status. I was thinking that maybe CarJam can access a worldwide database of VINs and...

To follow up. @Vedaprime is it possible that this VIN range was actually on WARRNAMBOOL? Seems a bit of a coincidence that I get my first VIN the day after Aucklands ship arrives. I am Auckland delivery btw.

So I have been #teamvinless since day 1. Woke up this morning to a VIN! 4987XX. That puts my car on the Melina according to Vedaprimes list. Not sure how they hope to get me the car before the end of September then :(

Someone on NZ Facebook page with a 2016 Reservation and 5/2019 order has been told she will get a call when her car is on its way to NZ... Salt grains....

The SR+ delivered yesterday in Auckland did NOT come with floor mats. I asked him on Facebook. He was unsure about fog lights. The rear heated seats were disabled.

Ship arrival time to bums in cars in NZ has been almost exactly two weeks is that correct? And now with ships coming every week you would assume that the cars will just keep flowing from now on?

A couple of people have taken delivery today in Auckland.

I feel your pain. Same here.

Does anyone know if you can install a wire and plug into the HPWC? I am moving house in 6 months and will install the HPWC properly hardwired at my new place but at my existing place I have an existing external plug that I would like to plug the HPWC into to get a faster charge than using the...

Courtesy of B Lin from NZ M3 Facebook Page:

Someone on the NZ M3 Facebook page just put up a picture of a pile of new M3s on the back of a truck and there are more pictures of them being unloaded outside the Auckland Tesla store. Also someone used the freighting companys Track and Trace to trace his VIN number and it gave him a delivery...

I only submitted one and only have one car ordered.

I will be interested to see what happens. I will ask my delivery adviser about it when he calls to arrange payment. If I can save the increase in FSD price as well then I wont complain.

Agreed, I had a quick think about it and decided it was fair and left it at that. If they were to charge me the original paint price but reduce the FSD to the original it would be a net loss so Im not complaining. Like you say, you can't have your cake and eat it too. The way Tesla has done it...

Yes I had this happen to mine (in NZD for me). It was an overall price drop so I figured this was acceptable? What is your concern here?

The VIN in your account could very well mean absolutely nothing. I have been told "couple of weeks" last week from someone at Tesla and I dont even have a VIN in my account... I think everyone is thinking way to much into these hidden VINs.

I think you are jumping the gun. I feel your frustration. I sold my car 3 weeks ago and am now down to borrowing a car to get around. All the evidence still points to late August or early September. How are you jumping to October?

I was told by Auckland store they would see me in a few weeks. I have no VIN in my account. I am a firm believer the VIN means absolutely nothing.

Sounds like NZ deliveries are going to start last week of August at the best. Given that Australia seems to be about a week behind then Australia should start first week of September. That's how I am putting my money.

Just spoke to Tesla regarding the Finance Pending Credit Check bug on my account. Again they are very helpful and I dont need to worry about this. When ending the call she said. "See you in a couple of weeks". :D

Does anyone in NZ still have their page looking like this? Mine has been like this almost since completing the form on the first day. I have confirmed with UDC my finance is all ready to go and approved so a bit unsure. Obviously have a case of the delivery anxiety's with my status stuck on this...

Yes my account has been like this since not long after completing the form. I am in NZ.

Would be good if anyone in Auckland had any inside into where the Model 3s would be unpacked up there. An Auckland stakeout with evidence of Model 3s would confirm for us kiwis our cars arent far away and would also cement it for our Aussie cousins that Cap has their cars. Does Auckland have an...

Awesome. Exactly the same page as mine. Did UDC tell you that you are all approved? I wonder if they are holding it on this screen as a way to “pause” the process and will let it drop past this screen when delivery’s are ready.

Yes this is similar to me in NZ. My account is sitting on waiting for credit check with UDC finance. Even though my finance was approved weeks ago. I spoke to Tesla on the phone and they said not to stress, my delivery agent would cll me when the time comes and get it all tidied up. Still kinda...

I would be more inclined to say they would unpack and check each vehicle before booking it to a person for delivery, dont want to find out that they were all damaged in the containers and then have to anger hundreds of customers. As said above next 48 hours should tell us.

Can track it here Vessel details for: CAP CAPRICORN (Container Ship) - IMO 9649835, MMSI 636015660, Call Sign D5CC2 Registered in Liberia | AIS Marine Traffic

Cap Capricorn cant be too far away from NZ AIS range now so we can get free tracking! Cant believe buying a Tesla has taught me so much about shipping

I just call the Auckland store and speak to a Kiwi every time...

Someone who test drove a white Model 3 in Auckland today commented on the NZ Model 3 Facebook page saying that there are cars already in the country... Grain of salt... I asked for his source but no reply. Could be legit as hes been hanging out in and around Tesla today so might have got some...

Yeah I hope while they are driving it they cover it up to? lol what? Do you not take your number plates off every time you go out in public like Stevie_C does? You dont want anyone associating you with your car!

I wonder if that includes the Frunk mat as well?

Not sure why everyone is getting excited about the Soul Express. It passed through Auckland and dropped no evidence of any Model 3s. Most likely candidate according to Veda is the Cap Capricorn which is due in Auckland on Monday.

Yes all chargenet is now CCS so will plug directly into a Model 3 with no adapter and you will get 50kw charge speed. This is about half the speed of a Supercharger for an SR+ and even less for a LR or Performance. Still an acceptable way to travel the country if you are happy for 30-60min...

This is the official email quote I got in late July after going through the process with Vero over the phone. She did mention that there was going to be a price increase this month so maybe that is what has happened.

My Vero (Insure My Tesla) quote was $1176+GST per year for a SR+ and $500 excess.

Yup I tried AMI and it was twice the price of Vero (insure my tesla). Ill be going with Vero.

I called the 09 801 0039 number and option 4 for vehicle delivery.

Agreed. The correct answer was to tick the UDC box, I remember hovering my mouse over both options and deciding on Loan Submitted, turns out it was the UDC option we needed to select. Give them a call and tidy it up, they are super helpful on the phone and I didnt need to wait to get through to...

In regards to VINs not being assigned to some of us NZ. I just spoke with David at Tesla NZ (very helpful and friendly) and I had selected the wrong setting regarding payment. I had selected "Loan Submitted" which put a "flag" on my account. When in reality my loan was approved with UDC so the...

Definitely thinking into it too much then! It is interesting that some buyers are getting VINs and some (me) are not. Lots of possible reasons though. Finance selection could be another reason.

Hmm, I dont have "Prepare for Delivery" ticked. I put my delivery address in (Christchurch) even though I want to fly to Auckland to collect. I wonder if Auckland deliveries are prioritised perhaps?

I have completed the forms. I am searching source and cannot find results for t.vin or for 5yj3. I wonder if its only Performance VINs thats are showing up? I ordered SR+.
