Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[MBau]

Ordered LR in late Sep. Still showing Jan-Mar delivery for me

 

[sishome]

My pessimism says they haven't been able to fill their dinghy with LRs. So RWDs ordered before Dec23 will be mass-shipped in Jan24 and LRs ordered before Jan24 in Feb24

My order is from back in August and still doesnt give a range, just says TBA. I hope it’s in this shipment!

Who knows, hopefully they got enough of each onboard for all existing orders

I guess if they start dishing out vins soon after going to sea they can firm up numbers etc. being that Adelaide orders get trucked from Melbourne and Melbourne orders are after Sydney and Brisbane you would hope the existing downstream orders get reserved so some new order upstream doesnt take the stock. I guess that’s why they do it around this time?

I don't understand this. Have you called them for an explanation?

I am in the same position (august order, TBD) - I emailed them and they said "once you have been matched with an order you will receive your estimated window, but you're in the best possible position".

Makes sense. If we are on DJ, I'm hoping we *should* be hearing something today

Ditto

So near, and yet so far. BA moored off Caloundra. Must be waiting for a berth.

It has been this way since our order was converted to highland as we had orders in weeks before it came out (pre sept).
Seems to be common amongst people who had their orders converted.

Might be waiting for DJ to get there and overtake and unload first, just to annoy everyone on BA

 

[dronus]

Still no VIN, however i am becoming very efficient in accessing all the relevant information with all this practice..

@DougalVizsla do you recall if you got your VIN at the same time the Vics got theirs, or did it come after the ship left MEL?

Not sure when the Melbourne crew got theirs, but I got my VIN on or about 4 December. And on 5 December, I got the email saying the car is in transit on the Bergamot Ace. All advice definitely well before the ship got to Melbourne.

According to the Brisbane Port website it isn't scheduled to Dock until the 23rd...

I guess it is two weeks early anyway, so small mercies and all. I am wondering whether they have stuffed up their timing when they first scheduled it for the 30th December and they just took a punt to get it up here and wait for an earlier slot.

There are only 190 Tesla's onboard, maybe that is all there is and they only need a short time to get in and unload.

 

[Murphster]

I don't even know if my leasing company are working next week, I am going to assume they aren't. So even if I get a date next week there may not be anyone to pay for it. I hope Tesla understand that and are prepared to wait.

I should check in on mine too.

Yeah looking at the ships in port and those waiting to the north, there are so many car carriers.

I exceeded the limit on that App we've been using, lol

Oh, I stuffed up, apologies... it is the 20th, tomorrow, it is due in.....

23 is the year!!

That's better...

Still plenty of time to get a delivery date for next week and get the car paid for before Christmas.

 

[Murphster]

Still 'PLAN' and not 'CONFIRMED' yet.

But looks like a quick 4 hour stop tomorrow morning at 6am, fingers crossed.

Surely if they have a couple of weeks to wait they can scoot down to Adelaide and drop off a stealth grey/ black/18 and then head back up?

hahaha

Actually this timing is working well in some regards. Im heading interstate so will take the ICE car = observe rather than participate in the South Australia Charger Underbuilt NeTwork to the border.. and squeeze the last of the fuel allowance out of the NL

Really excited to hear as your deliveries approach!
