@Vedaprime is an independent person with years of logistics experience. He uses a lot of previous data to model and predict which ship your car is on and track it's most realistic delivery window. Also, the discord channel had some good people on to talk to about so things Tesla!

This may have to do with the formatting issue in the Tesla. This may be of use:

Neither on mine. But I'm in Cairns so won't be getting it from a delivery centre, will be trucked up to me. I believe that's why there is no expected date yet.

Got it! 48hrs apparently https://cleantechnica.com/2020/01/31/teslas-vehicles-go-from-rolled-aluminum-to-a-finished-vehicle-in-48-hours/

Yeah, but it doesn't take 40sec to build a car. Just wondering from nothing to a finished car. Think Ive read anywhere from 90mimutes to 2-3 days

So this is a question for the brains trust as I was unable to find it. When Giga Shanghai is running full tilt and putting out 2600 cars per day, does anyone know what the actual build time for a single unit is?

Don't think so. You'll just have to wait till the 6month point then wait from there. I'm in FNQ and the car has to be trucked from Brisbane to my front door. So will probably only see something in the app till when the car is in Brisbane! LoL

As much as my heart wants Tesla's, I think forklifts for the Clara. Don't think we'll see any till the Q3 production run...

Ouch.... I know you can pop the frunk with a 12v supply. At least then you may be able to access the battery and hopefully replace it. Pretty crappy situation

can you access the battery and give it a charge?

https://thedriven.io/2022/05/19/volvo-xc40-recharge-orders-cancelled/ At least this hasn't happened!

This would be very interesting indeed. Was there a source?

You know what will happen don't you....

Haven't had "the call" yet. But interested if everyone getting a call are those that were in the 14-20 week delivery and will now miss that window? My original delivery was the 5-7 months that puts me at July to September. So technically I don't need a call as I'll still be in my delivery...

I think it may depend on where you live. I'm up in Far North Queensland and the car will be trucked from Brisbane to my house. Apparently then the app doesn't show a date (happy to be corrected)

Just had a call from Plenti as my 90 days is fast approaching and they have confirmed that the interest rate has increased from the 2.99% to 3.99%. Spoke to my SA in Brisbane and they are easily able to switch providers on the system and I'll be doing a Macquarie application now to lock in the...

beat me to it! just noticed it has moored :cool: seeing as it's 17:30 there now i don't suppose there will be much movement until tomorrow. Unless they do a night shift.

It looks like plenti had increased to 3.99%. I financed the day I ordered at 2.99, and haven't heard anything yet. Expecting that when I have to do the 90day refresh it will jump up to the new rate.

I believe the vins from China start with LRW if I'm not mistaken?

Sorry if you're already aware, but two apps that you need directly after the Tesla app are Plugshare and ABRP (a better route planner) Good to start playing around with these and learning where your charges are and the state that they are in

looks like the shipment from Shanghai has been delayed until mid May Assuming that only the Morning Crystal and Morning Clara do the Australia Tesla run?

sounds about right. It would be nice if my Tesla app even showed the 5-7 months date. leaves one feeling stuck in limbo!

So just wondering... I ordered on 17/02 which was the week that the estimate changed from the previous 14-20 weeks to the 5-7 months. With orders placed that week, how likely are they to come earlier? Or should i just assume that that the 5-7 months is a more definitive number

hehe... i think it's the Morning Crystal :p

I'm desperately trying to hold myself back from buying until I get a VIN number. Once that drops then the shopping starts!!

It's to support emergency response staff, primarily for firefighters. Whilst a Tesla is an obvious EV, other EV's can be more subtle and not obvious. If you're in an accident then the guys and girls know to avoid high voltage orange cables and to find the emergency disconnect ring pulls.

Interesting article. Whilst only applies to US market could hold potential for other markets. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/tesla-customers-can-now-change-their-configuration-and-maintain-their-original-price-us-only/

Does tesla only do one production run and delivery per quarter to Aus at the moment?

My apologies, I got your message missed up with another one. Sorry!

I'm assuming you mean 4 weeks not months?

Nope 😭 no change yet. It would be nice to even see that change!

Good morning! Not sure how I'm going to survive the next 6months without having a breakdown. Very excited only wish the wait was less. Model 3 RWD, black with white interior Order date 17.02.22
