It took about three weeks to get my delivery text (it will be just over 4 weeks since docking). Melbourne sounds like a bottleneck at the moment.

I wonder how many in-wait Melbourne cars were just battered and bruised in the holding yard with the massive storm that passed through this afternoon - golf ball sized hailstones. I even put the bluddy rental car in the garage. Just another thing to check for on delivery... whenever that happens.

I'm very close to doing the same. I was in a text wrestle with Tesla about getting the $400 refund offered to some earlier in the GC debacle. Did you get a refund? I can't keep spending $x on a hire car. Better to cut losses and redirect funds to an available car. My EDD has been pushed seven...

Hallelujah! I guess that means we're up to August on the backlog. It's really frustrating to see people in the Facebook group say they ordered in Jan, same spec as me and just picked up at the same delivery centre. I'm really not happy with Tesla, to the point I now officially regret the...

It makes sense why the Melbourne deliveries are so delayed. They're prioritising / scrambling the cars to Sydney by truck. Most people get a text 2-3 days after ship arrives and pickup within two weeks. Most of us are nearly two weeks with no text at all. What a debacle.

Geeezus. August!? Can I buy you a beer / provide a hug?

When did you order? I heard from a friend that spoke to Tesla (same order timeframe) that apparently they are prioritising delivery by order date. I'm 3-Oct and haven't heard anything, so it must be a big backlog.

...for those waiting in Melbourne from the MC with EDD pushed out another two weeks. Tesla's sentiment is always hopeful, just like it was in October for my first EDD. At least they're consistent. I had a boss that always said "under promise, over deliver". Clearly not the Elon mantra.

No delivery message and car has been loaded off the MC for over a week. I can only imagine there are 1000+ cars to clean, charge, hoist on a truck and store in a secondary limited space (ie. delivery centre. March seems more likely now, unless you get lucky. Good luck.

Sadly I took a punt and sold my car for a good price. In tracking MC it looked like very good odds that it would arrive on the front end of the EDD. Alas, I have been Elon'd. Original EDD was Oct.

Mine as well. This is ridiulous. Why bother providing timelines. Poor from Tesla, yet again.

The non-stinky MC is on the move outta Melbourne, which means all cars are on terra firma. Has anyone in Melbourne recieved a delivery text? My hire car is getting bluddy expensive.....

MC departure moved from midnight today to midnight 31 Jan on Melbourne Ports site (hopelessly unreliable). Perhaps it hasn't unloaded yet (or it's only just getting underway).

Based on previous customers, it means it's unloaded onto the dock and we can expect a text within a few days and delivery within 2-3 weeks (hopefully sooner).

Same. Now to jostle for position when the delivery text comes....

The MC, in all her glory. Hurry up and bluddy unload.

Why stress about the nuanced differences between mid-late 2023 and 2024 cars when they're practically twins separated at birth? It's like trying to spot the dissimilarity between identical twins wearing different hats - it's a futile exercise! This whole calendar year thing is like a...

I keep refreshing the docks page and no MC scheduled yet: Victorian Ports Corporation - Melbourne I live near the bay, so on my cycle tomorrow I'll try and take a photo of this majestic EV cruise, in all her glory.

I'm expecting MC to be displayed on the Melbourne Port arrivals page tomorrow (for Sun / Mon). Usually two weeks from there so it should be front end of suggested timeline (Feb 4-20 for me in Melb). I imagine Radelaide will be +1 week.

Cross-referencing pictures of the MC, it's definitely our very clean, very arthropod-free ship. My RWD silver / BLACK / 20" looks bluddy majestic.

Yes, I received my updated invoice this morning (after completing new rego papers yesterday).

With respect, it's 100% a reflection on Tesla. This has happened before and on this exact ship. If I made a mistake of this magnitude at work - twice - I'd be sacked. Tesla should ensure their vendor has the-strictest-of-strict protocols, especially when loading product prone to bugs this time...

Merry Christmas, ya filthy (stinkbug) animals.

Definitely Shanghai. Haven't seen this line on the tracker before tonight.

I live such a sad life - latest refresh shows there are two tugs next to GC. I wonder where she's going?

Same. I'm so disappointed.

I have corresponded the location to a satellite visual and it's definitely an unloading area. Given it's a grain dock, one would think GC has been expedited. Inshallah.

We're on the move?

I messaged Tesla (Melb) and if anyone wants to upgrade their cars to a MY Performance they will have stock in 2-3 weeks. Until then, late Jan/Feb seems more likely. I guess no summer EV fun for me.

Here's some pre-GC arrival reading, which doesn't help the situation but perhaps normalises it somewhat: Total ship show: Quarantine crisis deepens, 60,000 new cars stuck at sea and ports

Mine is still there (I'm in GC). Does is appear visible in another section if you select the RN #?

I'm watching the Aus PGA at Royal Queensland, which is essentially ground zero of the Stinky McStinkface fiesco. Perhaps Min Woo Lee can launch a drive off the coast and sink the GC. Only then will Tesla prioritise a reorder and give us our bluddy cars.
