I think it's too soon to be drawing that conclusion. It's only days into the quarter so surely there's still a good chance of delivering early/mid March orders. I'll never cancel my order anyway. Not a chance.

Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Annoying when the next car service is coming up + Rego. If no Vin by end of Oct, think it would be time to look at the 2nd market
Very annoying. I was hoping to get away with not having to replace brake pads. No such luck.
Plus my trade in has dropped since March. So technically the car is costing more over time.
Would be good just to begin to see some traction
On the RWD.

You’ve waited long enough. Why not a little more?
Yeah my service might has been on for a couple months but I'll be stuffed if I'm paying for that because of these delays... until they try to drop my trade-in because of it...

It cost me $550 a few weeks back to replace spark plugs and coils when the current car shuddered to a halt, then an extra $100 on a minor service just to make sure things like oil and brake fluid were replaced. I had gone to an EV Meetup event a few days beforehand so I figured my car sensed I was moving on and thought to punish me.
No matter what, we've known that we wouldn't get a car in Oct, it would always have been November. So vin or not, let's just wait out October and see what happens then.

Ouch. I spent $1k on a service which included a new radiator. It is what it is. Let's not forget that this is one of the reasons that we've ordered an EV - to save in the long run on fueling and maintenance.
The lack of action and preference to deliver Y's is really annoying but logic says that Tesla isn't going to go a whole quarter without delivering M3s. If you ordered in Feb you'll be getting your car this quarter and if you ordered in March you're a really good chance too. I'm as frustrated as anyone but I certainly won't be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Ooof I did that last year.. that's one of the reasons I went and ordered Teslas..
and then just for icing on the cake it decided to bleed the entire radiator on the driveway last week.. - Getting the water pump checked today - est $600/800 ... sigh..
If it makes you feel any better, in 2012, when I ordered my Model S, I also spent $8,000 on my old car, clutch, power steering, tyres and sundries, only to have a texting teenager run into the back of the car in 2013 and write it off leaving me carless for a year.
Ended up buying a VE Ute to drive as a stop gap as I knew my brother was thinking of getting one. He’s driving it to this day.

Has anyone with an April order been provided a VIN yet?
I'm more than likely going to miss my original 2.99% rate from Macquarie (pre-approval ends 17th)

Well that's a bit of a kick in the d***, I was kind of hoping given we're now in the new quarter we'd get some updates, alas.

Though since they make like a 1000 Model 3-s a day, so if they switch to making AU RWD Model 3-s, they might get a few months AU orders filled in one batch if they run a couple of days for us so might also cover March-April with the February orders. Though that would depend on how much space on ships they have booked, so could be wishful thinking...
