Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[ArdieLest]

My SA just called me to say that there had been a bit of a delay at the factory with white interiors. Car will still be delivered in March, but I would not see the VIN until the 5-7 of Feb. I’ve got a white LR with white interior ordered. Order date was 19/11.

Regards,
Stephen

Say it isn't so

What if I decline to sign anything before I see the car? BTW loved the ‘honk’ instruction would do that definitely …. atleast it will make the carpark echo( my giveback to Tesla for the killing wait times)

The SA asked me what I was doing because the horn is loud and it was starting to *sugar* him - "Nothing, just finding my car mate!"

The Delivery Remote Car Honk should become a thing, and we are counting on the class of Q1 2022 to make it a permanent part of the delivery experience!

The SAs love it when you honk the horn whilst they're trying to rush you.

Hahaha Max, you just started something. Telsa is going to have a "delivery" mode before too long, where the horn doesn't work

It would be even better if we can get a newbie SA who has no clue.. it may truly *sugar* him

get a newbie SA who has no clue

"Can't take delivery sorry, seems the horn is malfunctioning"

Done!

Let's hope so! That would absolutely make my day/month
Hopefully blue exterior+white interior (standard model) is a popular combination

hahah sorry for the late reply...

I sure hope so too!! mine might be more popular though!! stock standards! white exterior + black interior RWD hahaha

Perhaps I need to give my SA a call to tell him I'm interested in cancellations

 

[T.Olsen]

I told my SA
Any spec of model 3 and cancelations.
Let’s see how long it takes haha

I’m not fused on what spec of m3 I get if it means getting it sooner.

I said the same to the SA, and she said tbh 9 out of 10 people who just placed an order said the same and the 1/10 would call / email for the same after 2 weeks…

Just got my final invoice on my account.
Stamp duty was included which means we need to claim it back.

Dam haha

Just received a message from my SA:



Take from that what you wish. Hope he's right.

Good news! Mine is a RWD ordered 13/12, standard white ext/black int, no VIN/EDD yet.

Painful as the wait is, we're *more* informed here than we would be with any other car, right? Gives us all a page to refresh regularly.

 

[Kevsaccount]

For those that have final invoice, I assume I'll get a text or email to let me know it's in my account?

 

[Jimboctoz]

Yes, I got an email a day or two after the invoice hit my account.

 

[Kevsaccount]

a day or two after the invoice hit my account.

Damnit Jim!

Why would you go and do that to me. Haha. I was looking for an excuse NOT to refresh my account every 10 minutes.

 

[Kevsaccount]

Ahhh who am I kidding, I'd probably still refresh it anyway.

To be honest, I take words from SA with grain of salt, I have spoken to a few of them, some have a little bit of idea and some have no clue. Anything further from the basics such as questions RE: hairpin vs coil winding motors, why AMD doesn’t affect RWD range, LFP charging etc, they either throw in generic answers like “oh, new ones are just better, Tesla won’t make new models worse” or act like details are top secrets. Compare to my experience with ICE sales, some of those SA seem to be poorly informed, not to mention lacking enthusiasm in finding answers.

You just described every car salesperson... pretty much ever. I feel like a lot of sales agents get paid to know the bare minimum needed to drum up hype. Great for selling to the general public, but not so good for dealing with people actively engaging in communities like TMC/Reddit etc.

Tesla won’t make new models worse

About that increase in acceleration time between the 2021 and 2022 RWD model…

I didn't receive anything from SA even when VIN was assigned.
All I did was keep refreshing till VIN and final invoice appearing in my account

keep refreshing and pray
