Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Fablev04]

I kind of get the feeling that we get left overs from the bigger RHD market (UK).
Tesla probably pre-made a number of trims based on previous stats, not made to orders as Tesla is confident all would be sold.
UK gets allocated first because of longer sea transport and bigger backlog orders.
If your order is of similar taste to the Brits, maybe like white LRs, then you will be left waiting until there is leftovers rolling out of factory gate.

My other guess of the allocation process is that it may have something to do with currency exchange, as all sales ultimately go back to US in USD. It probably makes sense to allocate more and cashing in when AUD is strong and vice versa???

I am sure Tesla would be smart enough to funnel all funds for sales in Europe thru the Netherlands. It makes no sense to transfer over to the US for every lot of money that they make. I am sure the Take all the money in NL and issue internal invoices for "licence fees" to allocate the income in the most tax-efficient way.

Ok we have an update!!

M3P
Exterior: Black
Interior: Black
OD: 26/11
EDD: March 23 - March 31
Vin: found in source 8/2!
Delivery: Melbourne/Mulgrave

Also got the invoice today as well!

What is the build date for your car on the invoice? I ordered my M3P Red/black on 4th, in Melbourne as well. I'm hoping there are some more 3P's getting allocated now

Should have been built more LR's then and less RWD? Again based on actual demand?

If anyone from Brisbane wants to work for Tesla, there is currently a Customer Experience Manager role posted in their careers section.

Do it! Although I wouldn't envy your drive back and forth every day. Bonus though; you'll be in a Tesla

Go for it! There are lots of processes to improve

Sorry! got a bit excited and realised there was no invoice, its just asking for payment lol

It would probably be reflected in their next quarter build, using previous quarters as a prediction.

I am only guessing, I don’t know exactly how it works, but as my accountant used to tell me, “Tax law is catered for those who queue at voting polls.”

So there is a chance LR guys here with Nov orders can miss their Q1 allocation?
Mine is the most plain white/black.
Should not the company start production based on orders received? If for example there are 2000 orders and production capacity is 1,500 the latest 500 should go to the next quarter as the first ones in the line?
I really hope they stuffed up the admin part of things and have got enough cars produced waiting for the VINs. But again would not these car be on the Crystal?

A bit worry as it seems all NOV RWD orders got VINs

It is worrying, but remember they are building at least a quarter behind. Surely your Tesla rep should be updating you especially if you ordered last November.

Mine is an LR midnight silver black interior also ordered in November but my rep has kept me updated and most likely be driving it by the end of next week.

[mrdavidboddy]

My order for Canberra M3P, Blue/Black got an update via Telsa.com around 9:00pm

Good News:
VIN has been allocated

Bad News:
Estimated delivery has grown by a further 6-7 weeks
Guessing it's not on the Crystal

 

[Jimboctoz]

What was your build date if you don't mind saying?

Build date was 10 January.

 

[twobit88]

just got my Vin and estimated deliver 23-31 March

Edit: total coincidence but literally 5mins after joining the Vedaprime service I went from 0 communication from Tesla to having a Vin, delivery window and payment info
its black magic

 

[pandafyed]

Just got my invoice! Well, sort of. I logged in to my account and noticed a change!

Really hoping to get my car soon - driving a loaned car that GUZZLES petrol :/

I wish. It has been a standard response from them. "We'll let you know if there's an update. You should get it really soon". But I don't blame them. They are doing their job and it's not their job to assign VIN or invoice I guess.

M3LR White/black | 19/11/21 | No VIN | Melbourne
