D'oh. Those dates change by the hour! The boat is just sitting there doing circle work since last night. Get to dock already!
Sure is. I'm just preparing myself that delivery is likely to be end of Feb.
Also picked mine up today - scheduled for 10:00am, I arrived at 9:45 and were about 6 groups ahead of me. They do 2 delivery sessions a day and release about 20 cars per session so 40 a day.
Even in the base RWD the acceleration is way better than our last ICE. Have to set it to chilled mode so my wife doesnt get sick.
Speedgull covered this well.
That's exactly the same spec as what I ordered on 29/05/2022. Except I'm still showing "9-12 months from order placed date". Damn.
What sort of wheels and colors did you order? I notice the 19" and 20" wheels seem to have a shorter wait time, as does the white interior and red or blue color. I ordered a LR white exterior / black interior with 18" wheels which seems to have a longer wait time than the more expensive options. The other thing that seems to lengthen the wait time is ordering from Tasmania.
What spec is your car mate?Also picked mine up today - scheduled for 10:00am, I arrived at 9:45 and were about 6 groups ahead of me. They do 2 delivery sessions a day and release about 20 cars per session so 40 a day.
Our M3's arrived on 12 January and they have been delivering since 23rd January, so about 10 days after docking.
As to hand over they didn't have enough staff to do hand over, it was pretty much that's your card, you are good to go. Did the inspection and played around a bit. Called over a staff member for when we couldn't work some feature out. Car was charged to about 55%.
They did a bit of a rush job on the clean on my car as they left a fair bit of polish residue on the body. But being white wasn't east to see unless you were standing right over it. Will give it a full rub down tonight.
Took car for a test run up the freeway and back down along west coast Hwy to calibrate it and get a better feel before we tried the autopilot. Finished off with a stop at Karrinyup Supercharger and charged from 40% to 100% in about 35 minutes (to 80% in about 15mins) 33Kwk @ $0.66 came to $21. Really only did this for the experience. Will be charging from home mainly from now unless doing those longer trips.
Initial thought, the acceleration, wow, just wow. The air con is top notch. Hot day in Perth and car cooled down pretty quickly to set temp of 21 degrees. Way better than my old ICE car. Sound system is great (or am I just easy to please). Hands free phone also works a treat once you get a feel for the control panel.
The seats are very comfortable and easy to adjust, adjusted a couple of times after initial set up to find my sweet spot. As to using the breaks, quickly adjusted to accelerator only, love that feature.
Well team that's me done! The rest of you can just hurry up and wait

That variable doesn't mean there's a VIN allocated, unfortunately. I don't think anyone has ever seen that as "True"
Hang tight. 3 weeks for you, 321 days and counting for me. Hopefully Tesla get their stuff sorted for new orders and have a more pleasant experience for you guys.
Normally the day before. They don't want to register the car too early otherwise people will complain they're paying for rego they can't use.
I go through a number of posts in this thread, it seems 3 days at most and 1 day at least.How long before pick up will I be able to view the registration or plate number on the Service NSW app? I've got pick up this Friday
I should've mentioned on my post above (I don't get an edit buttonHow long before pick up will I be able to view the registration or plate number on the Service NSW app? I've got pick up this Friday
), but around 10am the day before my pick-up was when my car appeared on my Services NSW app. Probably because my pick-up was on a Tuesday. I'd imagine a Monday pick-up would have their car registered the preceding Friday to reduce risk of it not getting registered.I have been buzzing past p-plate lancers with big loud mufflers at traffic lights the past few days. I wonder when it will stop being fun
