Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Still stuck at Estimated Delivery 11 Jan to 1 Feb, so just waiting for that to be updated. Has got me back into the app refreshing again!
I have my vin, but my final invoice for payment hasn’t arrived yet. I spoke to tesla this morning and they said should be sent out today or tomorrow.
I ordered in early September and got the email about the car being on BA a couple of weeks ago, but still no VIN. I replied to the Tesla SMS the same day I got the email, and they responded straight away with a VIN. I am not sure why I can't see the VIN in the account, but it probably doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.Surprised you don’t have a VIN yet. My car is on the BA and I got my VIN a few weeks ago. Unless you made a recent order and were only just allocated a vehicle on that ship?
It’s not far away now. should be docking this arvo/evening. I contacted Tesla this morning to ask if they could fast track delivery, and they were nice, saying they’d do all they could, taking into account how many cars come in, processing, transport checks and registration
I think so? You can check the order process thread What to expect when you're expecting (Australia Delivery Process) for all the process steps. We seem to be jumping ahead as all the VINs are already on RAV, even though BA hasn't docked in Brisbane yet.

I wonder whether tugs are needed to get underway from that berth. It's a straight shot out to sea, nothing in front. Good set of bow and stern thrusters to push the boat out, then throttle full forward (up to the mighty 109 rpm that the big two-stroke in DJ runs).

I was wrong about that. 20,000hp at 102 rpm...
The main engine is an KHIC B&W, type 8S60MC marine diesel with constant pressure supercharging and a maximum output of 20,000 BHP at 101.3 RPM. The engine is directly reversible and attached to a fixed propeller with remote control from the bridge or engine control room.
And only bow thruster...
The vessel is equipped with a highly effective Schilling “Mono-Vec” rudder to assist in controlling the lateral movements of the stern. The lateral control of the bow is – like in earlier vessels – controlled by a 1,500 kW bow-thruster by about 23.5 tons thrust.
