Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[schnaxxl]

Don't rely on this. I had my delivery date window shift backwards twice now.

I'm trying to be optimistic
until yesterday it still said '8 to 12 weeks'

If the EDD is 23 March, does it make sense to make payment now or wait for a few days before delivery?

Also will making payment bump one up in the queue?

Entirely up to you, my friend. I would suggest maybe around a week before delivery, but if there’s any bump in EDD, e.g. brought forward by any measure, you might be in a rush to get it done.

I wouldn’t suggest it would bump anyone in the queue as there are processes the car has to go through before getting to the delivery stage, and there are a lot of cars

Hi folks, a question. When transferring the amount to Tesla, is it fair to assume that the transaction description is the same as "Bank Reference Number"? My bank doesn't show me a "reference field" only a description. I know big banks do have an additional reference field along with description. Any clues? If not I'll ask my SA when he calls me. Not gonna transfer the money yet but wanted to set everything up so gets transferred automatically in a couple of weeks.

EDIT: Actually might not matter. account number is my RN (just found out from the posts above) so don't think it's a big deal.

ING doesn’t have a reference field and only description. It shows in my history as my RN. It won’t matter. As long as you input the correct banking details provided to you. I paid my deposit yesterday evening and it had processed in my Tesla account when I had a look at some stage after midnight.

LR Blue/black here 5/12 Brisbane
Nothing yet either

Same here, Blue/ Black LR ordered 4/12, Brisbane and nothing...

From what I have observed, VIN is revealed in the order of date generally speaking. It might be the case that someone who ordered two days after you might get a VIN before you but rest assured someone who ordered an LR 10 days after you wouldn't get a VIN before you. I got mine yesterday some time after someone who ordered 5 days before me. Hope you get it by Wed next week. Seems like VINs are assigned to LRs now so hopefully.

OD 19/11 | Melbourne

Happy you got your VIN. We were the "whinging ones" here

 

[Zogman]

Ordered mine on the 29/11 (M3 LR Red). Still no Vin

Does anyone know how the cars get from the East coast to Perth? Is that by ship or by freight on land?

Contact your SA. I would not "just wait and see"

Thanks DanSyd, I spoke with him yesterday and was told March delivery though I asked when then would a vin come through. I really think the whole Tesla delivery system is sparse on detail.

Maybe wait today and come back to him on Monday if things don't change. Tell him you want some certainty as you need to sell your car etc. etc. You ordered in Nov and deserve to get your car in Mar

I don't recall ever being told the VIN of a car I was buying
I tracked the car before my current vehicle on its journey from Europe, because the dealer told me the name of the ship it was on

Did you take finance?
If yes, so you deposited your portion of money ? Finance co will pay later?

Yep!
I deposited my portion and finance company should today or Monday, I believe.

Reckon you and I are in the same boat.

Maybe they ran out of blue paint

Thanks, my original estimate was 8 to 12 weeks and now changed to 14 to 20 and hence the question.

Received a 'book delivery' text at 7:13 last night. (Did you know that it is only 3G slow cover in the Sydney Opera House? Spoiler alert: Figaro did get married). Now that I have a delivery date - 16 February - what can/should I do? Do I need rego details to insure the car and, if so, where and when do I get it? SA? The day before delivery? Can I apply for EV rebates now, before actually taking the delivery? Anything else I am forgetting?
