Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Missimpatient]

Do your own calculations because it will depend on your overall income. Generally speaking novated lease will only be beneficial if you can find a provider that doesnt try to fleece you on the interest rate and other additional costs.

Also... ?what payout.

The balloon payment I think it's called, or possibly something else. Seems to be a residual amount at the end, depending on how long your lease is.

Mine too.

I just rang Tesla because there is an exact spec to my order sitting in 'inventory'. I was told any RWD listed on inventory is there in error. The LR versions listed are cancelled orders and they are not yet at the delivery centre anyway. Apparently they 'landed' at the port 'today'. These will be the Don Juan cars. Likely still sitting at the port waiting for a truck to pick them up and deliver them to Mulgrave.

So my car is probably sitting next to the 'inventory' cars at Webb Dock.

The rather excruciating wait continues.......

Have you had any luck finding your VIN using the RoRo search? I've only just realised my build date was after the departure date of the Don Juan, so the wait continues, however the EDD hasn't yet shifted back from Nov 29 - Dec 13...

 

[Missimpatient]

Should I just go knock on Tesla Adelaide's door and see if it's there yet?

Victorians, when it comes to insurance, what are your recommendations?

Try Allianz they’ve done something in the background and the quotes I’m getting at 30% cheaper today than it was a month ago

I found this also, definitely much lower than the initial quote I got through them.

I got the best offer from Allianz. from memory - $1200 full comp, hire car and glass options, $750 excess.

Aami is around $1800 mark

Very difficult comparing insurance quotes between people. Age, driving history, location, occupation, overnight parking just a few of the variables. Do lots of searching on comparison websites and insurance companies direct.

Just tried then for the first time. No luck.

My build date is 23/10 - when did Don Juan leave?

It left Shanghai on 30/10, so strange you couldn't find it... Might be looking at the Morning Crystal like me.

Oh sure.. It's just a mistake.... your car is just around the corner... all the back log will be cleared this year Sure, sure!

My cars build date is 21/11. Which ship would this potentially be on?

Just checked them for me. I'm also $1200 per year which is the best quote I've gotten so far.

I was looking at Rollin insurance as they were $111 a month for full comprehensive, rental car (3 weeks, $80 per day) and glass cover. I might go with Allianz, unless anyone here has any horror stories?

Your car is/was likely on Don Juan. Your EDD is prob just not updated yet because your in Sale rather than metro.

Viking Passama left Shanghai on the 27th, so maybe that one. Otherwise it would be on a Roro ship which I don't know the schedule for.
You can search VIN for roro though on this site:

RoRo

Got a link i can try? I'm not sure my google search gave me the right one.

Stokesy beat me to it! check the link in his reply and see how you go

Yes my quote is similar like yours, I was looking at AAMI is because their car hire option is unlimited days, by knowing how long the Tesla parts arrive, I was keen to go with AAMI

I hope you don't mind me being pedantic, but Viking Passama etc are also RoRo ships. It refers to the method of self-loading (Roll-on, Roll-off)
compare cargo ships with on-board cranes which are LoLo (Lift on, Lift off)

The RoRo link allows you to search MOL ACE's fleet of RoRo ships.
