Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Hoopyfrood]

Agreed! But the mix of RHD and LHD in the video has me thinking that maybe switching from LHD to RHD isn't the big issue we had envisaged.

Of course, they would be used to and have the demo'd capacity to do double the movement off the lot with Y line running. So it could be the case that 1/3 of total production meeting the full logistics = empty lot.

But then the VIN allocation numbers don't match and the LHDs existing in the vid mean full production isn't dedicated to RHD.

In my mind, the balance of evidence leans toward not that many made for us before M3 line shut down. And am deeply skeptical of these SAs saying "ships and ships of M3s" Still 9 days to go though. Would love Tesla to prove me wrong!

Please stop imploring us to share your disproportionate sense of importance and influence. And please think. Are you the first person to assess the car or the longest waiter on the list?

Nobody is imploring you to do anything i don't think? People are being critical of Tesla, not you.

We need fresh video of the car parks at Haitong, the Paganella has just docked and should be loading NZ bound Teslas, any RHD left after Paganella is loaded will be Aussie bound on the Morning Clara.

Which is why I am quietly hoping that some vin allocations are done after loading?

History is on your side.

Your signature should be made a template for members. Very informative.

Agreed! A lot of members here without signatures, would be nice if everyone had one so we could easily judge how long everyone has been waiting. Just updated mine based on @old_geez

Hopefully Tom treats us better!

So long, "US executive who oversees APAC".

Thanks for that!

Should we be worried that Tom will increase the allocation of cars to China?

My build date is 30/6

I still don't have a build date, or am invoice. But I've still got a VIN and a delivery range of 8th to 18th Aug. I should be confident, but I'm not

Does any LR in this batch have a build date?

 

[Ormaus]

And he's already paid $1.00 off the invoice!

And as per analysis from others we didnt see any RHD in the yard in the 2 videos. So hard to tell how many were made.
But it does indicate that they are at the shipyard already.

So maybe indicates Morning Clara for this build batch?

Not sure. He seems pretty down the line after watching some interviews with him. He doesn't shy away from saying he exports to Australia in Chinese state media at all. He probably actually has a far better work ethic. He seems to pride himself on speed and efficiency for the customer. And studied in NZ! Better to have an engineer in charge of logistics than a US Exec in my opinion. Puts manufacturing in the fore rather than stock price.

And now Australian execs report to the factory! That's the comms channel that was seemingly missing.

I was thinking last night that it's like we went up a difficulty level in the deciphering drone videos game. Lol!

Tesla removes home charge cable from cars in Australia

A home charge cable, once included in all Teslas, has been removed. Tesla buyers will now have to pay $550 to get one.

www.carexpert.com.au

WTF they are now removing the home charge cables? does anyone know if this is true and when it will start?
It only gets worse and worse it seems.

It's true - there's a separate thread about it

How many amps should I put in??

Show a photo of the breaker for the charger if you're not sure (best to start a new thread rather than put it in this one).

 

[tslrm3]

I have an update! I was just assigned with a VIN! It is now asking me to pay the remaining payments.

It depends on what your breaker switch in your fuse box is set up for. Our car is garaged off the house and the garage has a separate fuse box with the breaker at 32amps, so I set it to 31amps. We‘d have to lay more wire to get a higher amperage, but at this stage will see how we go once we get the car and see if we need to go to that extra expense.

Actually the number of amps you should put in is determined by the capacity of the connection your electrician installed for you. Under the Aus/NZ Wiring Rules, for a continuous load, and EV charging is considered a continuous load, you should not exceed 80% of the breakers capacity. So in the above example no more than 24Amps. I suggest @Ssjimmy3 calls his electrician and asks him what the correct charging amps are for the settings on his wall connector.

And it's not even 12:30! Maybe more to come before the end of today?

Had you checked yesterday and had no VIN or is this new today? What's the first four of the last six digits? Those will define whether its recent build.

I even checked it this morning and it wasn't updated. I have a chrome extention installed which notifies me when a Vin is assigned and I got a notice when I refreshed the page few moment ago.
