    Hacking the Hansshow Ultra Mini display

    Today I installed the Hansshow ulta mini display in my Tesla Model 3 RWD. First off, a couple of points about installation that might be useful for a RHD / Australia / United Kingdom / Greenland / India / Pakinstan vehicle: The blue and white connectors that piggy back the Hansshow loom onto...

    Congrats to those who have recently received a VIN. As a guy who ordered Feb 22, and received the car just days before going away o/s, I can tell you after you receive the car, the only thing you’ll soon be “can’t wait”ing for is to get back to your beautiful new car again any time you away...

    Just taking delivery of my RWD from the Mulgrave delivery centre. Really straight forward process. They seem to be renovating so the front entrance is a side door down the very end of the building right now. Like others have said, you accept delivery via the Tesla website, and they direct...

    I had a look down at the Mirrat terminal in Port Melbourne and plenty of Teslas lined up around the shed. Looks to still be a majority Model 3’s, but some Model Y’s as well. I wonder how big the storage is at the Mulgrave delivery centre. And how many cars a day are delivered to customers...

    Yeah - who knew! Never realised that day I paid the $350 order fee I'd end up knowing so much more about shipping than the 0 knowledge I had back then! There is literally nothing for me to compulsively check right now while I wait for delivery day to roll around. I'm utterly lost. When my...

    According to the Armacup schedule it’s supposed to arrive at Port Kembla 22 Dec. http://www.armacup.com/schedules/asia-to-oceania The port authority seems to have a more accurate arrival time than what is published on the Armacup schedule. NSW only seems to extend out to 20 Dec so far. You...

    OK today I received a delivery SMS. The EDD remained 12 - 26 Dec until I locked in my delivery time. So there is hope. Keep tracking those ships everyone, and keep entering your info into the spreadsheet! https://m.pown.ee/tesla-anz-spreadsheet

    Escalate TMC moderator disagreement

    I have an ongoing concern about posts that are against TMC rules to a couple of threads. I have attempted to address these concerns with the TMC moderator who is most active on these threads, both by raising them in the thread, and via the site’s “report” feature. The concerns raised continue to...

    Did you happen to see whether your delivery window updated this morning before you got the call, to push it out to 12 Dec onwards? (just holding out hope that this morning’s additional delays for Melbourne orders are some kind of automated update, and I and others may still get a delivery date...

    Trying to find the positive in delivery dates being delayed by a couple of weeks. At least we know now and can make plans for the possibility that the delivery day will fall on a day when we’re away for the Christmas break. Has anyone watching this thread had someone else pick up their car for...

    Daily update from what can be seen at Webb Dock West The cars lined up along the fence seem to have the most movement. Some are going into the shed immediately in front of them. All of those lined up along the fence have a Dual Motor badge. I wonder if this is an indication that LR’s are more...

    It’s not necessary to understand what a troll account gains in order to know that they exist on forums like TMC.

    Call it the cynicism you get from being on this thread for many months, but does anyone else think it’s possible the account that joined TMC a few days ago just to tell us they picked up a car from the inventory after they first placed their order in October, could that account actually be a...

    Popped over to the dock again today. There was movement of Teslas in the parking lot this afternoon. Some were being driven into a shed close to the entrance of the terminal. Not sure what happens in there but it was nice to see the cars moving around. Especially the car that looked like it was...

    Well I sat here for a little while. The only vehicles heading out I saw were Toyotas. And a very shiny horse trailer.

    Not sure if this is good news or bad news. But I’ve just popped over to the Mirrat terminal in Port Melbourne, quite a few Model 3’s parked in the lot closest to the fence. Some movement with vehicle carriers going in. Not sure what they’ll be loaded with.

    If going with the Agreed value option, I’d go with a value that matches the current price new from Tesla. Like, the drive-away price. If I’m not mistaken, without that, if you drive out of the delivery centre and have an accident that writes off your car, you’ll be out of pocket the difference...

    Ok so the most troubling part about this stage of the delivery process is there’s no app to hit refresh on hourly. Before VIN assignment it was the Tesla site / view source code Then it was the Tesla site to obtain the build date from the invoice Then it was the shipping apps to monitor...

    I think it’s a “glitch” in their delivery system. I can’t remember if it was here on TMC or one of the Facebook groups, but someone asked Tesla why the stock appears online and they said they are reallocating them to orders, it’s just that they show on the website erroneously for a moment...

    I did a test payment because it’s not difficult to get the transaction details wrong for a lot of reasons, even when you’re copying and pasting things from one screen to another. Better to find out it’s wrong with $100 at stake than 10s of thousands at stake. And with some (most?) internet...

    Just had a look at the VIC ports scheduled departure time for the Don Juan. It has been pushed back a whole hour, now 1am tomorrow morning. I’m guessing, but I reckon this isn’t really an indicator of any delay to our cars being delivered. Assuming the cars are on the back of vehicle...

    My experience is the transfer - if done during business hours - it takes at most a business day to come through, but sometimes less. If done out of hours, like a weekend, it can take an excruciatingly long period of time (transaction initiated on a Sunday, didn’t come through until the...

    Instructions are provided in the email Tesla sends about it. The rego form is loaded into the system before the email is sent out, probably to avoid any confusion of “where’s this rego form you’re talking about?”

    Once you get your invoice it will show a build date. Compare that with the Armacup schedules and/or MOLACE schedules to figure out what ship it might be on / due to be loaded on to.

    Not really seeing much action at the MIRRAT exit at Port Melbourne now, another truck with Toyotas on the back, one with a mix of Kias and VW Golf’s, and another with some Mercedes. No teslas in sight :(

    I think the biggest market impacting Shanghai production and lead times is China itself. From all reports, demand in China has gone south very quickly in recent months. They've already dropped prices there and are introducing incentives around insurance. Given China's annual sales are in the...

    I'll be back this evening before dusk, after work hours, to see if there's any movement then. Its a nice bike ride, good to get the heart rate up. My own GP tells me I need to lose weight so this is not obsessive / compulsive, its healthy! :D

    Out of interest what's the change in cost from the time the order was placed, to now? Is it interest rates for financing arrangements?

    Given the EDD 29 Nov to 13 Dec, I reckon @ddr0001 is lucky enough to have received car from an order cancellation, because the date range suggests its a car coming off the Don Juan in the coming 24 hours.

    Perhaps some interesting stats from the spreadsheet that might put this waiting game into context. Breaking down the dates VINs are received, the average number of days from order date to VIN date: 2022 Q2 (Apr to Jun inclusive): 163 days - April: 97 days (sample size of 1) - May: 195 days...

    Just popped over for lunch to Todd Rd where the vehicle transporters leave the Mirrat terminal in Melbourne. I could only see Toyotas on the back of trucks. A lot of them lined up for departure but none with Teslas on the back.

    This seems like the payment method hasn’t been selected on your order eg the step where you tell Tesla you’re payment method is fully financed, part financed, or paying them cash?

    I don’t think any paid service / forum has access to VIN-specific information that isn’t available publicly anyway. If it ends up on a MOLACE ship, MOLACE have a public VIN search page that anyone can enter their VIN into.

    Usually it’s a “best guess” - work out your build date from the invoice, then work your way forward to the likely Armacup vessels or MOLACE vessels. This is how I guessed mine was in the Don Juan. Once the Don Juan reached the first Australian port (Brisbane), even though it wasn’t unloaded...

    Trying to remain optimistic here, given the Don Juan has already docked and unloaded at Brisbane and Port Kembla, you’d hope anything that could cause quarantine issues would have been found already.
