Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Murphster]

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

They want a confirmed date, which they know Tesla will give once the car has been unloaded. They don't pay for cars still on the ship. Which after Morning Crystal, you have to say sounds wise....

 

[Murphster]

I dont know much about Brisbane, but are you far away from there?

Haha, the thought had crossed my mind.

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

My NL guys told me all they need is the final invoice to proceed with the next step.

I'm not sure what that means from Tesla side, i.e. Final Invoice sent to us once they're in possession but, I personally will be waiting for that first, then speak with NL.

I was sent the final invoice shortly after getting the VIN.

Does it say anywhere on the final invoice how many days you have for payment before the car is released to another buyer?

That might put into perspective to your NL to hurry the FU

For those new Highland owners (or soon to be) congrats!

A nice little road trip to Canberra is a good shake down drive, just saying (and give Jules a test drive in the process )

It doesn't, although Tesla's email today said funds need to be cleared 48 hours (excl public holidays) before they can arrange my "express" delivery. Which makes me think next week is going to be tough.

No, I’m an October order, and yes they emailed me a while ago saying my car Was on the bergamot

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

For an even better shake down, why not turn right around Canberra and head to Adelaide?

Shirley its not too far out of the way?

They can try out the new waypoint functionality from the phone app!

That says 1 of 2 things

1. Not a lot of QLD folk ordered the M3 Highland when it was initially released (Sept)
2. You have a rather unique config
(3. Maybe BA had a lot of cars on board)

From what Tesla have told me, the 48 hours refers to 48 hours before your confirmed delivery/pickup day. So it's not really required for them to book or start arranging your delivery, but required before they'll actually give you the car.

So once Tesla have contacted you to book a delivery time, you choose one that gives enough time for your lease company to pay, then ensure that it's done at least 2 days prior to your chosen time.

isn't 3, it only had around 100-200 for each city from memory

Its win, win, win

 

[e-enthusiast30]

isn't 3, it only had a little over 100 for each city from memory

Interesting, not sure what usual sales are like for new release models... but under a 100 for QLD/NT makes me even more confident that the first ship to arrive in Aus (if full) will have more than enough to fill all current orders awaiting fulfilment *except maybe some LR configs

Indeed, but that increasingly rules out next week if there isn't time to get final paperwork signed by my employer, and then transfer the money, before Friday. It effectively means first week of January.

Didn't someone post something about the VINS on board the BA for Brisbane. Around 190 of them from memory. Which I agree, is likely all that were ordered up to end of Nov and probably a few extra to put on the shelf.

 

[e-enthusiast30]

Has anyone else refreshed their order page with Tesla VIN finder enabled 3348243092 times today?

 

[dronus]

Xmas is probably the most anxiety generating time of year to have to do this kind of stuff.
Hopefully you can keep your cool and stress levels down. Hopefully Martha from payroll hasnt decided to take 4 weeks leave and have the temp fill in who is too busy on their phone to process the paperwork.
