Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[PcS000]

Don Juan is powering on - traveling at a sprightly 18kn. She's sitting about 1.5m lower in the water than when she was empty on the way north to Shanghai.

Today's factoid: Don Juan has space for 5,846 cars. The standard measure used for a car space is known as RT 43 and is 7.38975 sqm. It's named after the RT43 Toyota Corona:

This was the first mass production car to be shipped in a specialised car carrying vessel.

My dad was one of the first people in Australia to get a Corona and did also his driving test in it. All the cop (who was running the test) was interested in was having a drive - so dad only had to drive around the block, he passed and cop then asked for a drive

[DougalVizsla]

I called my novated lease company and they are sending the final agreements to sign now, and then they will contact my employer to get signatures. Just in the nick of time as we close Christmas to New Year

Yeah getting signatures from my workplace is hard enough outside of public holidays where people give less of a hoot

I asked the NL people to cc me in when they email my employer, so I can chase whoever it goes to up

Thats a good idea!

Once i had put in a claimto payroll for overtime/recall and after a few months i had not seen it go thru so i rang payroll.

Eventually they said "yep we didnt approve the overtime/recall as the hours entered are outside your normal work hours"
Im like "Yep, thats why its called overtime/recall"
They then approved it, but before i explained this concept they didnt get it, so they just binned it, and didnt tell me

Luckily, i suspect the Leasing company has a good relationship with our payroll people, i dont recall any delays with my current NL, however there might have been and as it was 5 years ago i cant remember...

DougalVisla and Murphster,
Awaiting their new ride,
A Model 3 Highlands,
Their joy they cannot hide.

The wait has been long,
But the end is in sight,
Next week they’ll take delivery,
And drive it into the night.

The sleek and shiny exterior,
The interior so refined,
The Model 3 is a beauty,
A car that’s one of a kind.

With the Highland’s new features,
They’ll be driving in style,
The envy of all their neighbors,
As they cruise mile after mile.

So here’s to DougalVisla and Murphster,
And their new Model 3 Highlands,
May their journey be smooth,
And their memories be grand.

 

[Murphster]

Mine said they won't do anything until Tesla have possession of the car.

Just to clarify, are you an early august order and knew your M3 was on the Bergamot Ace?

 

[dronus]

Mine said they won't do anything until Tesla have possession of the car.

Havent tesla been the only people in possession of the car so far ? hahaha

 

[Murphster]

Now says scheduled.

 

[Murphster]

I think timing isn't going to work out for delivery next week tbh, not for me. If the Lease company needs have a confirmed delivery date/time before they release funds, there is a good chance that doesn't come until Friday morning. Maybe too late to do anything before January.

DO they need to see something official, or can you just give them a date?
