I'm happy for the LHD versions to go first...as I'd hope they've worked out any major production kinks on the LHD models, so that the RHD models are perfect.
Elon would not put up with any Quality issues, they seem to be pretty agile in adapting manufacturing changes so yep, after the thousands that have been down the line they should be good.
If a boat load of RHD go to New Zealand first they will have the first RHD ones too..
It’s all coming up Millhouse.
As per the last page, i am curious as to the VIN assignment. Would be interesting to see what the Europeans experienced as given the model is 'new' it might be a slightly different process to what 'normal production' would be maybe? i.e. EU got the VIN's only when in country, on the boat etc etc
So just got a message from "Morten Grove" who is doing the tracking of Tesla ships on X confirming my suspicions about Viking Paglia.
He says Tesla have started emailing early order holders. Haven't seen any email here as yet but sounding more and more promising. He may have meant NZ though.

Lol, it has come to something when the very first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is seeing where Viking Paglia is. But I did, and was pleased to see her sitting exactly where I was hoping she would be this morning - she seemed to have disappeared yesterday!
Excellent. I guess we just wait and see now if any of us get some over the next week, or whether we start looking at Morning Crystal.
I would say just because we haven't been emailed yet doesn't mean anything, they might do Australia once the ship is en route. I noticed that the guys with Model Ys on Don Juan got their vins after it had been sailing a few days.

Well that’s exciting enough. It means they are making RHD models in bulk. Just a matter of time now. We could have our vehicles on that ship as well 
Yeah, also noting that the Viking only stops at PK and BNE, missing MEL, it could be that it's only doing MY's for AU. Morning Crystal is the next candidate and it stops MEL, PK, BNE hitting MEL at roughly the same time Viking hits PK.
MC also loads up on the 24th of this month, so if we don't hear anything in the next day or two, then I'll be leaning towards our cars being on that and hopefully we'll start hearing from Tesla around that time.

This is an excellent post to understand the milestones of your order: What to expect when you're expecting (Australia Delivery Process)
Sure is. The refresh button is going to get a workout for sure!
Any idea what the average time is from loading in Shanghai to getting to Australian shores if they come direct here and not via NZ?

this should give a general idea - the schedule is updated each Friday
