Wow - that hit a nerve. Like I said - it's only a prediction. My hypothesis is that when legacy auto makers make EVs for the same price as BYD the vast majority of Australians will go for who they know, or take the leap on a Tesla. People look at BYD as the poor man's Tesla. Electric "Great...

Except for BYD maybe. I predict BYD will exit the AU market and stop supporting existing owners (software & servicing) by end of 2026.

My 2025 lineup prediction Model 3 RWD Model 3 LR Model 3 P Model 3 S (replacement for model S - speed/brakes, but no "luxe" features like the S) Model Y Model Y LR Model Y P If they can build the model 3 but with a 1.99 0-60 they have met 80% of the want from the Model S. No need for...

We might need a tiny bit of context 🤏

Lucky you. If they don't provide you with one you can show them the SMS and you're set :) ....maybe they extended them because of the Ports issues - but some people here have defs not recieved.

I just joined Vedaprime. I always told myself I would when I am close to the date range, and only for a month. Seems like a good setup and he's pretty on it.

mmm.... Mine is the exact same date range as the dud-day too. Terrifying. May 26 - June 16

Do we think it's legit today? Last time was heartbreaking.

Ok for the second time this week - date range and hidden VIN assigned. Let's hope that it's not another glitch. Anyone else got one today? NSW.

Probably not. It's not guaranteed at least - but you may get lucky. The online shop isn't taking that long to send out UMCs - if it were me i'd wait and see, and if not lucky order when you get home from delivery.

HW4. Don’t care - won’t ever get FSD. New bumper. Don’t care. Not worth delay. Cloth instead of faux wood interior. DC not worth delay. Second screen. Only a rumour. Not worth delay. I don’t see it in Australia until Q1. By the time you’re ready to order with highland there would be rumours of...

Not if the communist Greens party has anything to do with it

But "Tesla is a software company" (They're in for some sarcasm today after all these stuff-ups)

The call centre. They said it was an "allocation error" and gave that level of detail. They didn't say the words "cooked it" - but yes if you also call you'd get the same response presumably. ...or not it's Tesla. @borgsta - you may have. It was a window of about 3 hours. No email/text - just...

The issue was across M3 as well. My M3LR was assigned/dated and then evaporated.

I just spoke to them. It's B. They cooked it and assigned people a VIN that they should have never got. The website today is correct and most of us haven't moved forward at all from 72hrs ago.

That should explain the date - but why retract the assigned VINs?

Did anyone manage to find out from Tesla whether the glitch yesterday was: a) Website issue, still ongoing; whereby the VINs and EDD were correct temporarily BUT now the website won't display the rego/dates [or] b) They incorrectly assigned phantom VINS that were never meant to be assigned to...

Well you’re more than welcome to hang here! While you’re here I have a question - what do Hong Kongers think of Chinese brands (BYD etc.)? I’d presume most of them wouldn’t be caught dead in a CCP-Mobile? 😄

Weird stuff keeps happening with Tesla website. All the inventory (bar one M3) is gone in NSW. Even the dud ones that nobody would buy (the ones that cost $4500 for B/W interior due to stamp duty etc.) Also every MYP.

Um wait no back to April-May and the "Application for Vehicle Registration" is a broken link now. WTF.

Hidden VIN and a date range - May 26-June16. Ordered 5/4, M3LR Blue/Black!

Same. Off a cliff ;)

But are they cars....or pieces of sh!t?

79.5487315% But in all seriousness - not really possible to put a number on it. There are many factors FOR and AGAINST receiving in June. The issues with our ports mean that boats can't unload/get back to China to reload, so if there is tax reasons why you need by EOFY and you need certainty -...

I always enjoy your write-ups Maximillian 👌

Same for me. They cooked it.

Honestly I genuinely was in Argentina but can't remember whether it was there i signed up for it or I used a VPN. It was before covid which seems like a lifetime ago. My comment assumed a VPN user would get the same experience. I've just learned that's it's widely known and that ozbargain link...

Yes sorry - since the Secession from Australia (moving to own thread) I have no idea what happens in WA 🙃

What’s your state/spec? It does seem unusual that it doesn’t say TBD or a date range by now. The April/May orders are starting to roll-in. I’ve read sometimes that novated leases [and/or] trade-ins cause an unhappy path. Does that apply to you?

Got final invoice for the MY I'm probs gonna cancel. Build date is 14.04 - so...a week ago 🙃

There's a hellofalotta-cars in inventory for NSW right now. Just not mine :(

Yeah but he has a Model S to fang around haha. I made the switch for speed/fun rather than having a larger car to carry around small kids or teach teenage kids how to drive. (MYP is banned in NSW). If I had kids I'd probably go Model Y RWD - everyone has their own situation :) Going to 90%...

Well in your situation it's an easier decision. A M3LR will arrive before your MY. Do it do it do it!

Same spec as me, got in a day before you and just got vinned too! However, I've also put down a deposit for a LR M3. Have yet to cancel the MY as I'm skeptical as to whether the M3 will actually be delivered in May and maybe I just take the Y. I know I'm holding 2 places in the queue, sue me I...

Some have but not all. Depends on the spec/state. In NSW - I think grey we're up to late dec, blue is October - but obviously wheels/interior is a factor too.

Dan Andrews is more interested in The Belt & Road initiative than actua.....wait nevermind, too much politics for today.

Ask them for supercharging miles or a granny-charger to make up for their stuff-up.

Sounds about right. Typical conservative Labor government, doesn't want to rock the boat. 🙃

So.....who's making this announcement today?

Lots of MYs being vinned in the past 20 hours or so. Anyone got any M3 updates?

Just so I can get the sequencing right - is it Feb-May > TBD > XX May to XX May [Or] Feb-May > XX May to XX May > TBD The pinned posts in our forum have drifted a bit in accuracy. Thanks!

Do you have to notify your insurer? Is it a vehicle modification? I'm overly cautious as my insurance claim was rejected when I was 19 (70 years ago) and didn't tell them I had a subwoofer.

Not BS

If you happen to be in Argentina and sign up for Tidal, it's $1.08 per month. I've had the same subscription for years now. On a completely unrelated subject I use a VPN to block things or something.

I did what you are considering. Still comfortable with my decision.

To make matters worse - did they stick on a fake Dual Motor badge? I thought LR/P are banned for P-Plate drivers? Either way the spoiler alone makes me want to projectile. I hope he is on this forum so we can point shame and laugh. Show yourself!! 🫵

How come you don't get visibility on your account? Did the leasing company source the vehicle for you or something?

Someone should review his newspaper 🙃

I don't buy that. - US factories are setup for LHD. - Our market has weird nuances eg no exterior speaker (boombox) - Shanghai doesn't need help with production. If anything, Berlin does. - No boats come here from there...unless they go via Shanghai which makes no sense. - Today is a public...
