It’s ridiculous! Particularly as people are picking up at other Sydney centres from this weekend!!!

Same day same place! My original date was 7th!

I think they’ve already “fixed the problem” but we have enforced a stop sale which means they need to deal with shipped and shipping units. Other countries will just get a different parcel shelf going forward. No one will notice or care (mostly)

2004? Remember when we used to rattle around in the back and if you played up your dad would smash the brakes hurtling you forward and head butting the front seats? ….or was my dad just a sadist 🤷🏼‍♂️

Mines gonna love the screen in the back. Stream YouTube videos of rabbits and tennis balls to keep them quiet 🤣

That’s my email signature

I had a pair of them in the 80’s

You don’t?

The M3 has only just been released in the USA and the copyright for this manual is 2024. I checked previous model to see if it was just a carry over of the graphics and the image is slightly different with updated graphics. Checked a few other countries manuals and they are the same as ours with...

They’d be weighing up global production line changes and costs versus a rule that affects a single market which represents probably less than 1% of their global sales.

It’s an argument I’d be using if I was the one on the spot (and I’ve definitely used pedantry a number of times to justify how my designs comply to contract/spec 🤣)

I read about this a few weeks back so fact might be lost in translation but essentially, IF a car has passed the EuroNCAP tests and is the same vehicle being supplied into Australia then it gets the same rating. What’s failed here is that there are unique design rules that apply in Australia...

Recalls are just part and parcel of the industry. Mercedes had a rocky year last year…. https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/australias-most-recalled-vehicles-in-2023

Showing your age there mate 🤣 (to which I just exposed mine)

There’s a similar site to Port Kembla for Brisbane https://qships.tmr.qld.gov.au/webx/ I might not open on the right tab so you need to select “ship movements”

Hahaha nah that’s Coopers Hill. Chepstow is just a generic horse racing track.

The winner at Chepstow

I remember those days. Do I take 10 or 15 onions with me. I heard so many horror stories about people running out of onions. So glad I never did…..still, you never knew and always lived in fear!

I watched a BMW mini get processed from order to completion once and part of that just amazed me how quickly they produced a car. Not just bosh bosh bosh but to order, to spec, to your input (which had many options) to your output…. Tesla has way less options they did! Delivery issues are not...

Did you follow me home? I have an electric moped I rode home on today and I looked in my mirror at one point and I was being “tailgated” by a BYD. I felt like they were gonna run me over at the next set of lights 🤣 it’s like they knew and were stalking me like Christine (aged myself right there) 🤣

Well that’s a fkn anti-climax after my day of perving from a 6th floor window at teslas being parked, and getting excited for an early delivery 🤣

I’ve got Jury duty “scheduled” that week ffs 🤦🏼‍♂️

So it’s taken 6 weeks from order to getting it shipped to Port Kembla. Yet it’s gonna take 4 1/2 weeks to get from Port Kembla, 60 kms to Miranda 🤣

I’ve got the same dates at the same place. Was wondering same thing.

The image from Google I posted was an illustration of the small section of the yard that I can see. Saying I couldn’t see any Teslas in that area, however, given my field of view was only a small section of the vast yard, they may be somewhere else.

Who’s images? I can see the yard from my office window!

Little cluster of black ones in the middle there.

Yeah surprisingly a good mix of colours. Was expecting high percentage white but I’d say on the rows I can see, there’s a good 50% or so not white.

There’s 3 car carriers in port at the moment. Which is pretty rare. They tend to only stay a couple of days. It’s all I can see from my office window so I tend to notice these useless facts 🤣

DJ is out tonight.

Best I can do with my iPhone but through my little binoculars these are the row of teslas (above the line) starting to get parked up.

About 1 every 10 mins…… loaded with Mazda’s from what I can see 🤣 There won’t be any Teslas leaving port today. They’re only just taking them off the ship. They’ll be parked in the yard and suspect the Tesla centres arrange the road transport when they know they’re all offloaded.

Yeah that’s it. You’ll get them when you pick the car up. Might even turn up in your Service NSW account before your actual pick up day. I always check that before pick up then I know it’s all sorted and no mistakes have been made causing issues last minute.

I had my rego application forms come through at the same time the VIN was allocated. It was in my docs available in my account.

Cars coming off the Don Juan today.

I sa I saw that post and was confused by the delivery date and ship. If the pick up is Sydney and it’s on the Beluga Ace, that’s not due in to PK until 15th according to their schedules. It doesn’t dock in Melbourne until the 9th, and I’d be surprised if they were fulfilling Sydney orders from...

He did a week long review of the M3H and I’d say he was very positive about it. Kinda dragged on about the lack of stalks a bit too much for my liking, and maybe hadn’t fully researched or worked out some of the controls before reviewing them but it was a pretty decent review.

Can’t see any Teslas in the yard yet, but then I can probably only see this section from my office and it seems to be full of utes and Toyotas from what I can work out!

DJ taunting me from my office 🤣

They’ve had 2 car carriers in port over the last couple of days. The car yard is absolutely rammo. Been watching a stream of transporters come out the place all day. DJ isn’t due to leave for Melbourne until Friday.

I don’t think they port cars in Sydney any more. I think Port Kembla is the only port in NSW that offloads cars now (unless Newcastle does?) The pic is of the Kembla terminal.

View from my office. Walrus Ace hogging the berth where DJ is due in later today!

Port schedule has it expected on Wednesday night.

The Don Juan currently at anchor off the Wollongong coast
