Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Snoopy1]

Anybody have an idea what is the earliest/latest they offer for pickup? Depending on the day, I teach and may not be able to get it and don't trust anybody else to pick it up as nobody has drive experience at all... I mean, unless I *cough* am *cough* unwell that day *cough cough*..

As a retired teacher.. I suggest cough...cough ...sick day is definitely called for definitely won't be concentrating while wondering the progress of your car

The 3 times I was given are 10:30, 12:30 and 15:00. Everyone's times would be staggered but it'll most likely be within the 9-5 business hours of the delivery centre.

You can try showing up 1 hour earlier than your selected time. They're very accommodating, they just want you to sign and to get your car out of there so that they can move onto the next one.

Am I right in thinking the latest Wu Wa video posted earlier by matty_u2 (thank you!) shows lots of Model Xs and no Model 3s?

X's ? Y's ?

 

[Ormaus]

X's ? Y's ?

The ones in the foreground are definitely Ys.
There are some in the background of the early part of the shot that might be Ys but difficult to tell. Seems to be an angle difference in the back side window to the Ys in shot but could be the camera angle / resolution. Can't see if those ones are RHD or LHD either so who knows.

My car is on the Ruby Ace and I'm very very excited... getting so close now. Now the bank needs to hurry the eff up and release our funds so I can pay cause I'm stressing

Does show up once your have a delivery appointment.

We are rural so being dropped off. It might be like how we never get an EDD as well? Who knows

 

[LEG60]

Do we have confirmation yet that these new VINs are new builds or are they just last min cancellations?

Hey mate, how do I check the build date?

I was wondering that myself, because there are people on the spreadsheet ahead of me that haven't seemed to have gotten a VIN.

You'll need to wait for the invoice to be posted on your account, which should be in a day or two (assuming no complications due to finance and/or trade in)

Just got the invoice when I refreshed the screen.

Can confirm the build date is 11/08/2022.

Looks like there might be an impending VIN storm?

 

[daffster]

Just got the SMS to schedule delivery in Sydney!

I booked in for next week wednesday.

Gold Coast delivery SMS just received. It's been a long wait since Dec 2021...

 

[JHole]

Congratulations!!

Thanks, really surprised.

I had the email from Tesla sitting in my inbox all morning. Was really surprised this afternoon.

That's appalling. So they are saying if you can't collect it they will assign the car to someone else?! Hopefully you have someone who can collect on your behalf if that's the last resort, but even that would be a bit rubbish as collection is part of the experience (not to mention that initial quality check before driving away).

Keep us updated as to what happens. If my delivery slips a way from my EDD I'll be in the same scenario.

Good luck,

I have fully paid for the car, only upon which they would register the car in my name. So it's unlikely they can assign the car to another person.

I have arranged my wife and my daughter to pick up the car but that means my daughter has to take time off work,.... and I will miss the fun of seeing the car in person.... I am 4,592 miles away from home without phone roaming, so I just don't want to engage in another argument with the SA who hasn't done nothing for me throughout.

You would think after waiting so long for the car there would be more flex in the pickup system by TESLA for you to be able to wait until you can be there. Shame that you will miss it.
