For the Morning Crystal/Midas folks, How long after the ships docked did your EDD drop down to a week range and how long until you got your delivery sms? Bonus point for Brisbane pickup

Midas docked PK 7th. Car was in Brisbane 17th and pick up 18th. Received SMS 12th
You can organise for someone to pick up your car with an authorisation letter, this is the best and easiest option. Or, if you ordered from Parramatta and nominated your pickup as Alexandria then they may deliver it to you if your SA gets manager approval. Otherwise if these don't wok you may have to go to the end of the queue...Not a good option!
Thanks! That ties in neatly to the expected arrival on 3 March and the start of my EDD from 10 March here in Brisbane.
I asked my SA from parra if I could pick up from Chatswood instead and that was declined
Yeah that's because all the slots are full and they are struggling as it is. You would have had the choice when you ordered or there may have only been one choice so you are locked in. They can deliver if you were forced to choose a delivery centre that is out of your area but only in certain circumstances and if approved by a manager. They are under the pump!I asked my SA from parra if I could pick up from Chatswood instead and that was declined
Newbie to this site. Picked up my Model 3 RWD today in Melbourne. Ordered mid-November.
Fit & Finish is excellent. For those wondering about performance of RWD vs SR+, you will not be dissapointed!

Melbourne Mulgrave pick-up
So far buying a Tesla has been one of the worst experiences. My car was on the Midas and was finally delivered from the Port to Mulgrave early last week, the only date I could select when I got my sms was the 25/02. Paid in full through my finance and insurance sorted for this Friday, today get an email after over 7 days sitting in Mulgrave they just found damage to my car from transport and have attached one little low quality picture.
Was told my car is now in the service centre for replacement parts so now might get it sometime next week. I have taken a day off work this Friday and sold my car in preparation for picking up my Tesla and been sharing a car with my husband. Now just another blow and delay I even called the person who emailed me and they had little compassion and weren’t very understanding.
From what the Tesla advisor siad it was just a plastic piece and downplayed the damage. My husband even spoke to the guy and said we were happy to take delivery and bring it back to get the plastic part replaced on a day off if the damage was only minor but they rejected that idea because car is already at the service centre.
Just disappointing experience and service, find it hard to believe that if the car went to the service centre today they could still have changed the part by Friday and met my original delivery date, or even if they moved it to a Saturday pick-up.

Being a regional area you will not get an EDD
You will get a VIN though, hidden to start, followed within days to a few weeks later by an Invoice
Have you checked for a hidden VIN? Look at your car order details page, then in Edge or Chrome (Ctrl-U) to open source code on the page then (Ctrl-F) and search for LRW

I'm in Melbourne but I managed to get my date moved quite easily. They gave me two days just like you, I asked to be moved to the Saturday a few days later and my request was approved almost immediately.
You can feel a slight difference off the line but still feels very quick. While moving you can’t feel any difference. Super fun to drive.
That really sucks. I don't expect this kind of service for such an expensive car. Getting the car fixed is probably a one-day job (especially replacing something plastic). They are just a bit lazy and incompetent to help you out here (and probably slammed with deliveries too and so brushed you off)
I did a test drive on the 19th, ordered 20/2. Hope it doesn't drag on for 7 months! Crazy
I didn’t expect this kind of service either, I’ve waited patiently and figured that there would be some quality control when cars arrive at the delivery centre and roll off the truck. Just frustrating the car was sitting there damaged for over 7 day and they only noticed 2 days prior to my scheduled delivery date. Also now they have just put up a new delivery date and time for mid next week without any final consultation and consideration for my working hours.
You might be lucky Dave as you're pretty close to the date it changed over to 5-7 months (15/2). If there are cancellations up the line you could be bumped up
