Don't get too excited. There are plenty of LR/P orders from Nov/Dec that ordered at 8-12 weeks, the date then shifted to 14-20 weeks, and now it looks like our cars won't arrive until May (5-6 months). I was told I'd be getting my car in March by my SA.

Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Yes, but my point is take with a grain of salt what your SA tells you... Anything could happen.
Does anyone know why Model 3 wait times got pushed to a 5-7 month wait time? My co-worker who ordered one around the end of last year received his Model 3 within a month of ordering it.
It's quite strange because the Shanghai factory is producing all time highs at the moment, and the Texas and Berlin factories are coming into operational production soon (which should ease the exports made from Shanghai to Europe right?).

I asked my SA what he knew about the situation this week and I was told it's a mix of both a mass amount of orders that Tesla were not expecting to get from Australia, at least not all so quickly, and even though Tesla wasn't originally affected by supply chain issues, they now also have been affected.
This is the kind of optimism I can get behind… it’s logical and plays to my impatience perfectly!
Does your order actually give you an estimate in app/online? I am yet to see anything on mine and ordered on 14/02.
Hoping i can be the same, ordered on 16/2. That said there’s probably 30-40 people that ordered between the 15th and 16th ;p
On the website. This layout is new. It didn't look like this earlier today.
I placed my order on 11 Feb,
Thanks for posting that. Mine looks nothing like that. I've done all the requested also.
What model did you order? I ordered RWD on the 15th too. I’m thinking everyone has ordered the same model as me due to NSW incentives.
I rent a space in a local unit block because it's under cover and my backyard space isn't
I'm still going to charge in my backyard
one day all bodies corporate will have to deal with the growing numbers of EVs, but it could take a while
I won't be raising it with the owner of my car space either
an in-law is buying a strata place off the plan, and she told me she was able to arrange EV charging facilities to be built-in
[not sure of the details of that]

Finally got around to adding my details. Looks like LR are being delivered soon for orders back Nov 2021. I’m expecting to be shafted to 5-7 months Est Del like many others. I still like to drive my Subaru Outback 2007, which I’ve had since new. I test drive a Model S in 2013, but it was a bit pricey back then. In 2020 I looked in to getting a second hand Model S, but the RWD was only slightly more. It was a stretch to get the LR but I was never going to get anything else after Subaru AWD experience.

Hey all
I couldn't decide if this required it's own thread, or just ask the people the question is actually directed at.
Placed my order end of January for a Model 3 RWD in Melbourne Australia (Very excited)
I can't seem to get a straight answer on the sound system we get here.. The internet seems to suggest that we get the 8 speaker configuation with a few speakers disconnected, no sub, and no additional AMP.
I try to take the word of the internet with a grain of salt, so when I emailed tesla support through my account to see if there were any retrofit kits, I recieved the following response.
"Thanks for your enquiry. At the moment you cannot upgrade the sound system. Although, both options have 14 speakers, difference in the Long range is that there is a Subwoofer. You can look to maybe get one installed after delivery to make up for this. Super simple"
There's a fair chance the support agent is mis-informed, but also chance that this is accurate.
Found a few websites who sell the activation kits, but noticed that they don't make anything for the AMD based cars at yet.. They're all listed coming soon...
The website for AU lists "Upgraded audio – immersive sound" for the partial premium interior.
What do they mean by upgraded? Upgraded over what? Is that just marketing BS for "Base spec"?
Sometimes regional changes make getting accurate information difficult (Floormats are a good example)
Anybody able to confirm the number of functioning speakers, and better yet the number of speakers present that just aren't connected?
Thanks for your help guys
Same order date here! Patiently waiting, haven’t heard anything.

I ordered my RWD Blue/black on 5 Feb. I still haven't had a call from an SA at all, so you're one step ahead of me.
It's only cause I'd sent him an email with an enquiry (only took him a week to get back to me).
What a difference a proactive, responsive SA makes to your peace of mind while waiting for a delivery date. Mine has been very good, keeping me informed, answering my novice questions and generally making the process easy for me. Whereas other people on this forum have had quite different experiences.
Anyway, I'm off to pick up my RWD this morning, so that's it for me on this forum. Good luck everyone and I hope you get your cars soon!
