It was likely the 2022 RWD was either going to have the 3D5 or the 3D7 motor in Australia.
The 3D7 is a newer hairpin motor with slightly better specs than the 3D5 so this is a good thing that people are receiving VINs that list this motor so far here (8th digit S)
It will still not be as fast as the 5.6s rated 2021 LFP SR+ cars that had the more powerful motor still from the P but anyone who ordered should already have known it's now a 6.1s specified car and should be happy enough with the hairpin 3D7.
If anyone wants to know more about hairpin motors and comparison to a non hairpin motor, this article gives some good info, but it's not tesla specific so keep that in mind (there is very limited Tesla specific info on hairpin motors out there apart from the nominal ratings in the Owners manual above):

3 = model 3
f = sedan 4 door RHD
7 = seat belt/restraint/safety details
No VIN yet but I have the Red with the White Interior.
From what I have seen there are no red LR cars which have had VINs assigned yet. I could be wrong though.
The 8th digit of your VIN determines the motor type. S = 3D7 hairpin for RWD model, if it's R it's 3D5
3 = model 3
f = sedan 4 door RHD
7 = seat belt/restraint/safety details

glad we have all learned something todayI had to look that up
the presence of something in only small or insufficient quantities or amounts.
"a paucity of information"

A local to me!!
There’s a few Tesla’s around my area but I’ve never seen anyone from the northern rivers on the forum! Welcome!
What timeframe does Tesla provide when your order get to this stage for completing payment?
I have the same configuration and similar order date and have been given the same EDD
