They only have so much local capacity to deliver cars in Australia - some of which isn't really under Tesla's control, like the number of car transporters available. There's no point bring in cars in excess of that capacity.

I assume at some point they may start import processing them at two different locations in Australia (maybe MIRRAT?)

That would make sense. Victoria obviously would make up a big proportion of customers; tack SA and Tas deliveries on to that, and keep PK for the rest.

I wonder at what point they'll start shipping direct from Shanghai to WA as well, rather than use the transfer ship.

FYI i have a contact at a vehicle logistics company in brisbane that have the Tesla contract and i just heard that they are moving Teslas from tomorrow until the end of the week, they will be moving 24 to Hendra each day.

mine is 16-30, where you picking up from? i would say with that short window your text is not far away

 

[trippa]

assume in reference to cars unloaded yesterday at Port Kembla.
WA cars will go on another boat out of PK anyway. East Coast cars leave by car carrier anyway.

ahh gotcha!

It's not really random, it's how they come off the boat.

Alexandria, Sydney

 

[schnaxxl]

I now have an invoice, a VIN and yet another estimate of delivery date: 16-25.3.22 at Alexandria
leasing person is chasing up a firmer date - see how that goes

 

[Parramaniac]

M3P Alexandria, no text as of yet. Good to see some people are confirmed.

 

[colin_aus]

I hope I get my SMS soon

Well.. I ordered just after the window changed for the next quarter - so there's some Jan orders after me.
Lets hope they do some LIFO loading on the boat =D

I only ordered 3 weeks ago, and the wait is already killing me. 5-7 months... any conjecture on if the opening of the Berlin Gigafactory will take any of the load off Shangai and shorten this? Or should I be settling in for the long wait, and maybe even prepared to have to wait even longer?

 

[cafz]

Which likely means Q3 is sold out.
So you are now looking at Q4.

Which would normally be mid-Nov to end-Dec deliveries
(So actually 8-9.5 months) as at today.

Sounds like maybe Q3 is sold out for some model/colour combinations, but at least one could still have stock for Q3?

 

[ShireSparkles]

I ordered in the 8 -12 weeks period back at 4th Dec but unfortunately I ordered a LR. Really hoping that there are no further delays foreshadowed by the lengthening delivery times.
