Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
Delivery dates will depend what ship it is on. Some will be in Feb, some March.
Some cars are built, some not. Some are on ships, some in Shanghai.
All vins for Q1 should allocated over about the next couple of weeks.
do you know if RWD are built first and then LR models. I can't see many LR people here got their VINs. Although RWD ordered in Dec got VINs
Would it be fair to say that if you do not have a VIN yet your Tesla is still in Shanghai or to be built?

I think the only ones with VIN's are from November 2021, I have a VIN but was lucky enough to get a cancellation. I think they allocated mine from one of the people who ordered in Oct-Nov, so wouldn't count that as an LR VIN from December order.
My OD 13/11. Looks like the ones with VIN for LR ordered before 12/11.
I agree with the person posted earlier. It's all over the place...

I don't think that's how it works. VINs are allocated by hand from what Veda has previously said, so this process can take a while. Your car could be built awaiting allocation to your order, but likewise it could be waiting to be built.
From my experience so far and I have a long-range with the order finalised on 2 December. I did order earlier but changed the colour.
I have my VIN, estimated delivery date, and already paid the invoice. I received the invoice about the time ship left Shanghai for Australia.
Now I have a paid service where I can track ships. But what I suggest you do is keep an eye on the port of Shanghai and in particular the picture I have posted. I believe it is here where the Teslas are loaded. But you will not know the destination of the ships until they leave port. That should give you a fair indication of the location of your vehicle.
Currently, there is a ship heading toward Australia from this location. I could be wrong, but I would think that most who have vehicles on the ship would have their VIN number and either received an invoice or it is coming very soon.
I wish Tesla themselves were more forthcoming on information so as to avoid so much uncertainty among those waiting for vehicles.

Sorry if this got answered by someone else already, but when logging into my account for my daily update (lol) I had the message and needed to choose to accept the amendment to range.
Oh, thank you for your reply. I wonder how, but good to know.

Still an amateur effort compared to the original "Tesla Model 3 in Australia" thread - 13700 posts!We have hit the 1000 posts mark!
(Basically the same kind of thread as this one, except when the Model 3 first became available in Australia!)
The big launch happened on page 66 of that one.... Tesla Model 3 in Australia
If that's not the sign for a successful thread I don't know what isWe have hit the 1000 posts mark!
