I've recently (30/7) ordered a Tesla 3 LR White with a delivery date of Feb 2023 - May 2023, but have read that the Giga Factory in Shanghai is going to increase production, could this result in the date coming ahead or is it likely that the production increases has already been allowed for?

Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

- Start date
Coming from a Golf Wagon, so significant downsize. Overnight charging is something I will be doing any chance I get, but the issue is getting to the overnight stop in the first place. Just not enough DC charging options around.
It's not something I'm going to be needing on a weekly basis, but we are a single car family, so don't want us to stop doing particular trips because the charging infrastructure isn't in place yet.
I've not bought it yet though, I did price up the extra tails for Type 2 and 10amp last night and the price is making me think twice. I'll be selling the UMC that comes with the car though so I'll claw something back.
Looks like you could do Townsville to Mt Morgan with a single long stop at QESH Mackay (unless the weather was really against you, and as long as you sit on the speed limit). However two smaller charges (eg Prospine & Carmila as you suggest) is potentially a bit quicker overall because you need to charge right up to 90-95% at Mackay and the charging slows down up that end.
QESH Phase 3 has started construction and opens up a lot of the inland, including Roma.
Not yet. My EDD is 13/8 to 27/8.
Seems like only QLD orders are getting them for now. Be still my beating heart!
Viking Passama hasn’t docked yet, it’s just sitting there. The Victorian Ports say it is scheduled to dock Saturday morning. So I expect booking SMSs to come out next week
Same as you and everybody else in Melbourne... the part I am annoyed with, the person I know who ordered a Y on that day to get them quickly, has already organised for pickup next week.. yet, here we are, ordered months before hand and haven't heard a thing.. gets frustrating..
Some vic Teslas have been registered and people have received the text already, this was inline with Viking passama docking at port Kembla.
I am not sure if the cars have unloaded there and will be transported by truck to vic
Okay so according to Armacup we have a ship leaving Shanghai to Aus on the 14th Aug, 17th Aug, 21st Aug and 2nd September. At least one or more is carrying Tesla's with the model Y's EDD.
I know not all will have Tesla's but surely not unreasonable to think that they would be able to get Q1 Orders or at least people who have the Aug-Nov and Aug-Oct out by then. As these boats would mark the end of Q3 delivery. I just wish they could just update us with a simple "hey guys we are on track for Q1 orders or orders up to this date to be delivered by end of Q3"

I hired a Model 3 for a weekend before placing my order, and I was amazed at the amount of storage space. I filled the bonnet, boot, and under-boot with empty suitcases and bags, and then I moved all those bags across to the BMW 5er wagon that I'll be replacing. The wagon was chock-full! Of course, the shape and access of the storage spaces were quite different, so it does depend on what sort of object you're wanting to pack.

Did someone say accessories?
Tesla Wall Connector (now installed)
Floor mats (to keep the carpets free of dog hair)
Boot and frunk mats
Boot rear seat protectors
Jack pads
12v tyre pump (I already have a puncture repair kit)
Floor vent grilles
Trunk and frunk hooks
Performance pedals
A couple of cheapo 'coasters' for the cup holders
Console tray
Adhesive wide-view mirrors because the door mirrors themselves are too small
A rather discreet tissue holder, because my wife likes having tissues at hand and I don’t want crappy cardboard boxes on display!
Mudflaps are due to arrive shortly
Post-delivery there'll be window tint and ceramic paint protection. I'm also considering aftermarket wheel covers to replace the Aeros and protect the rims better. Not urgent though.
There's just one thing I ain't got…!

Yeah hence my guesstimate for when we would hear of new VIN allocations around 19/8 (Friday). In the last run of VIN allocations on 15/7 and 16/7 (circa page 500 of this thread) the vessels were set to depart between 14/7 and 19/7. If Tesla allocates model 3's on any of those ships I'd hope that we'd know about it come next weekend!
Welcome to the Tesla family!
It could happen, but it would be conjecture. Increased production might be focused on other markets instead of ours. Shanghai could lock down again. It's all a bit unknown.
I hope for you that it's sooner rather than later. Don't fall for the trap I did of having a countdown to the beginning of that EDD window - it is disappointing as all sin when that date passes and you realise you know nothing more than you did before. In my case, August 4th was a bad date to track, should have tracked end of November instead. In yours, track to end of May 2023, and hopefully you'll be surprised instead of disappointed.
I wonder if these dates are why we haven't seen the Aus VIN storm yet since production restarted. A full shipload of Model 3s is less than 2 days production run, and they wouldn't want to have a bunch of RHD cars sitting around clogging the yards before the ship arrives. Hopefully they've scheduled a run of Aus cars just in time for rolling onto the next ship or two!
Yeah I agree. Just weird that Model Y's were assigned a couple of days ago now and guesstimating there EDD it looks like they would be on Paglia or Paganella. So with Model 3 line now upgraded and opened you think they would chuck on 3's provided there is room I guess. I got to subscribe to VEDA, they would produce the most viable information, just hesitant to without a VIN. Waiting on Wu Wa next video to so we can see any in the yard. I think he drops it on Friday?
I am pretty sure my car is on the Morning Crystal, which was due to be arriving at PK by 12/08.
I just checked its location and it's already heading towards Melbourne?
