Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
yes, I heard Telsa China's 2023 Q3 sales number plunged since the reveal of the Highland.
Massive competition out there, more like the Veteran++ level when compared to the Australian market (Recruit) I would say.
Tesla's tech is solid but not seen as irreplaceable out there hence a sharp sharp price is crucial for keeping its market %.
The market isn't that excited to see the price of the new M3H jump up from CNY 240k (AU$52k) to CNY 260k ( roughly AU$54k). As many speculated, Tesla dropped the M3H RWD price back down to CNY245k on 12th Jan.
I was hoping the BYD seal would put some pressure on M3H here, but Tesla must know how desperate we are down here... damn it...
You guys are lucky compared to the last time when I ordered my current Model 3, took a whole year to get it. During that time, my first ETA was 6 - 9 months and ended up waiting 12 months 
This time around, it was much faster than I expected. Ordering start of December and already receiving a VIN and ETA for delivery in Feb I have a feeling I got someone's cancelled order.

That was WAY overblown. Tesla warned in advance that would happen as the factory had to shut down to retool for M3H production.
Of course didn't stop media outlets trying to paint it as a negative.
They'll continue to sell as much as they can make for the foreseeable future.
Not sure, retool was for 3 weeks I remember? Wasn’t long. There was a lot of emotion online there for not taking delivery so maybe both factors are in play.
Returning a whole ship of model Y certainly didn’t help and now M3H RWD lost the federal rebate in the US probably making Telsa wanting to play safe for a bit.
I got exactly same eta for my one in ACT!
Beluga ACE finished unloading in Port Kembla and now heading to Japan. I haven’t received any update from Tesla about my car’s arrival in AU yet! Should I be worried
RoRo shows eta 17th Jan so they managed to deliver 3 days early in port Kembla.FA is about to cross Mariana Trench near 11-km Challenger Deep... My Tesla must be totally frightened, poor girl.

2024 Tesla Model 3 faces stop sale as Australian Government investigates compliance issue
Australian government officials are investigating the updated Model 3 as it doesn't have an accessible rear middle top-tether point.

Visiting them earns them ad revenue.
It only left PK yesterday (a Sunday). I wouldn't be worried.
According to Marine traffic Firmament Ace is still due in Melbourne on 23/1, although RoRo still shows 27/1.
My car is still showing est delivery of 14/2 - 6/3 (in Adelaide).
And it seems like est delivery of 20/2 - 12/3 in Brisbane.
Does Tesla system use RoRo's estimate? I wonder whether someone has to manually update ship ETAs in the Tesla system.
3-6 weeks from ship docking in Melbourne to delivery in Adelaide seems a bit much.
Keep an eye out here and youll see how long it take from Mel -Adl, we havent heard anything after cars were dropped off from Beluga ACE.

haha, you immediately know it's not an EV/Tesla as the media always forget to name any other brand if they are involved in an accident. Even if it's several vehicles and the Tesla was not at fault, the headlines will be 'Tesla crashes' any other time it's a 'silver sedan' or whatever never the name of the brand.

Still putting my hopes on Paganella having all our ACT/NSW orders, had to do some history checking to keep my hopes up and came up with this:
DJ departed SHN on 17/12 for BRI with ETA on 28/12
Vins were issued 24-26/12 which was 7-9 days after DJ departed, 2-4 days before ETA.
Paganella departed SHN on 12/01 for BRI with ETA on 24/01.
Vins could be expected anywhere from 19-22/01 for Paganella.
Not losing hope here!

RoRo website is not updated. It still shows 6 Jan ports for FA trips.
It was a Toyota Hilux, most likely a leaking high pressure diesel pump that sprayed onto a hot engine.
Tell me again about how EVs burst into flames.
Any concentrated amount of energy can burst into flames. An interesting example is grain silo fires. Luckily smart battery management systems make this way less likely to happen in EVs than ICE vehicles.
