They're definitely built in separate queues. Doesn't make sense to build all 3 variants at the same time. Tesla have confirmed the remainder of Q1 VINs will be allocated in the next 2 weeks (after they're built).

Good to have something to look forward to though!Bjorn purchased a grey import MIC LR from a Thai retailer at roughly 200% of the cost here. Only personal imports would be allowed into Australia and would not be economically wise anyway.

I paid for the premium plates, but my invoice read plate type: standard. I figured that it was going to be a ball ache if my car had the black on yellow plates, but their problem.
My car was delivered with the black on white premium plates. What you've uncovered is a bug in Tesla's invoicing system, others will have it too.
I don’t recall of any option to choose for premium plates during ordering, how did you manage to do that?
Premium B&W is Standard for NSW
If you could downgrade, picture every White RWD 3 in NSW with Yellow/Black plates.
I’m planning to transfer my current plates to my M3LR when it arrives
there’s a process for this with Service NSW
it was easy with my current car
Tesla have not been helpful
they’re saying I’ll have to accept the car with plates and swap them at the registry
so I’m paying for plates I won’t be using

Yeah same, however I am ordering new ones to coordinate with colour and style of my M3. Just want confirmation of a vin before I place the order. Have to keep options open should a cancellation come up and change of colour be required.
Morning Crystal has docked in Shanghai, this would have been a dependency on new VIN assignments. Should start seeing them trickle through in the next week, which was expected this week, but the ship was delayed getting to port.
For some reason Tesla NSW can't do what every other dealer does, or what they do in other states (I suspect they don't want to have to dedicate a staff member to be continually standing in lines at RMS).
You still need plates for the old car, so either way you'd be paying.
I took my personalised plates with me on the day of pickup, got Tesla to redrill screw holes to their template, then drove to RMS (Bondi) to swap the paperwork.
Typically source code, but YMMV
I think 208kw is peak power and 194kw (as stated on Tesla manual) is nominal power?? Electric motor power rating is different from ICE motors; apples and oranges, and can be quite confusing, probably the reason Tesla quotes 0-100 as a measure of performance rather than kw/nm?

So you can just walk into RMS and pick up your plates on hold without providing any new car details straight away?
