A good news story.
OD 28/4, given a EDD of Apr-Jun. (white/black/19"/AP) pickup chatswood (sydney)
Being extremely impatient I started tracking the new and used inventory on the tesla website. I could see RWDs appearing in various configurations but in WA and QLD. These did not last long before being snapped up.
I wrote a small bot to check the tesla site every few minutes and send me a notification. One popped up last week (silver, EAP, new/demo) but that was snaffled very quickly.
This morning (friday may 12) at 1am - 2 MY RWDs (blue/white) popped up. Sold by 8am
At 9am my exact spec popped up. I bought it straight away. Over the next few hours I got lots of texts and emails from Tesla.
Bottom line - I have a delivery date booked for next Thursday May 18 in Alexandria. Tesla even refunded the other deposit and have been generally awesome.
However I couldn't help but feel like I jumped the queue. Even if I was somehow next in line with my original order, why wasn't that car assigned to me?
