Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Maximillan]

I spoke to my Sales Rep re my missing VIN. He advised the next ship coming is 'the big one' with most of the cars. He expects to have my VIN in the next 5-10 bus days.

Order Date: 1/12/2021
Model 3 Long Range
Location: Canberra

lol. Yeah not sure if he was blowing smoke or not.
He reckons the two ships that have come had a smaller number of vehicles and the one coming has a lot more.

 

[Maximillan]

Just out of curiosity, any particular reason to complete the payment in full so early? I was instructed by my SA to do it only a week before schedule delivery date and said as soon as the ship hits the shore there’s high probability of getting notified for booking the delivery dates. That would be ideal to do payment.

Only if you expect to take more than 5 days to get the money from your account to the specific Citibank account that Tesla has set up for you. I paid my invoice when I received the SMS to book in my delivery.

If you haven't done it by a certain date you can count on Tesla reaching out to remind you to do it.

That's what my SA told me, 7-11th Feb. My OD is 13.11

They gave me 5 days to pay. Close to the 4th day, i advised my bank was running slow due to staffing shortages. I asked for an extra 2 days grace. It went through management and they declined.
COB on the 5th day they gave my car to someone else. Sure enough, 2 days later I had the $$$.

I placed another order and ultimately I'm happy with the outcome as now I'll get a 2022 model with the Ryzen chip.

I assume that's the Morning Crystal, or is there another one after that?
I agree we should be seeing VINs this week or next week at the latest. That would fit the "Morning Crystal" timeline.

I'm guessing we would need to subscribe to vedaprime's service to know this.

waiting for my Tesla is more nerve wracking than waiting for my first born child...
first born was like 2-3 ultrasounds for a look at her over 38 weeks...
Tesla is like refresh, check hidden vin and TMC on what others are doing 3 times a day....
(I am going to clean up browsing history right after this post in case my wife checks, after all, she controls the purse)

Ships may not be hearing to Perth or even Australia but I can daydream that I saw my car the White RWD 14 back from the front 3rd on the left so I can now sleep peacefully know it is getting on the ship

 

[Sirius Gloria]

Where are you, oh where are you, my baby? (OD 13/12, RWD White/Black, No VIN, VIC)

It depends on your bank, in my case, I need three days to complete the fulll amount in mobile app due to daily limits, otherwise has to lodge the old way of paper work. You may not be so early like me, but just pay attention to your daily limits of transactions

Yeah, I already have the daily limit for it also checked with the bank saying the transaction will reflect in 24hrs

They can up your limit with a phone call. Make the single payment. You can then lower the limit yourself.

Was wondering why there has been no update to the position of the Midas for the last 10 hours. It should be almost in the Coral Sea

Why would they switch off the AIS? (Hoping it has not become a submarine)

 

[GilR]

The Crystal is moving along at pace!

The Captain gave orders to evade your tracking systems...

Pirates I reckon. They'd struggle to drive the cars due to the security but the spare parts are so damned valuable it was worth it.

It's likely out of range of an AIS receiving station. You can get a seven day free trial of satellite tracking, which always shows the current position.

 

[GilR]

If you know your Tesla is on the Midas it is getting near that time to count sleeps. Currently, it is the Coral Sea and is estimated to be of Caloundra at the entrance to Brisbane around 8.30 pm Friday. After departure around a day and a bit to Port Kembla. And THEN........

Seems pictures not working. (Server error??)

Morning all fellow soon to be TM3 owners. A question to those in Perth awaiting their M3 RWD. I have a LR on order (expected in June) and I wanted to option it with the 18 inch wheels but does not seem possible in 'Straya'! Would anyone be interested in a swap + cash (not sure of how much) for the standard 18's for my 19's?

 

[karlos22]

My EDD now saying 14-20 weeks again. I’ll just ignore that lol
