Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[banana0692]

Just joined the queue! Ordered at 11:30PM last night night (06/04) LR White, Black interior. This will be my second Model 3 as I just sold my SR+.

In no hurry to take delivery as the longer the wait the larger deposit I will have.

Morning Clara appears to have moved into port right near toyota. It also appears that shipping isn't entirely shut down for exports in Shanghai. No idea whatsoever what that means for us and Tesla shipments but it's nice to see movement is occurring.

Ports around Shanghai see surging transshipment volume

SHANGHAI: Medium-sized ports around Shanghai, including those at Taicang and Zhangjiagang in Jiangsu province, saw a surging volume of transshipment to Shanghai in March, since many neighbouring cities adopted strict anti-Covid measures for truck drivers going to and coming from Shanghai due to...

Aaand she's now moored. Right at a port generally full of cars being exported.

Anyone creating a playlist for your first drive or selected a first song? Initially was going to but now I'm thinking of just 'listening' to the silence...

Respect. I would find it hard to pull the trigger if the price just went up 4K.

Having said that, it is stil very much worth it. By miles

On the upside, with a 6-9 month wait, it’s protection against further price rises (and also the opportunity to get any price drops in that time).

Tomorrow’s the big day, @Chuq ! How are you feeling?

You’ve waited 2199 days… and that day has now arrived

@Vostok I couldn't resist... surely such a monumental day is worthy of it's own thread

This was exactly my thinking, its likely to go up more in the short term and if it goes down then I will also get the price drop. My other option was wait out the current rise and fall but then I'd be without a car until well into 2023 and I already miss my Model 3 very much.

Morning Crystal departure date from Shanghai moved back to 23/04, would imagine it will push back further if Shanghai stays closed down.

I certainly haven’t been a member of this forum for 2199 days, so…what’s the backstory here?

@Chuq reserved his Model 3 on the day they were launched - 31 March 2016. And finally got his Model 3 today. Possibly the longest wait in the world.

Looks like prices in the US just went up again. Seems to be the trend. Probably go up again here too.

US: Tesla Increased Model 3 Prices Again

Tesla has increased the prices of the Tesla Model 3 in the US, just about three weeks since the previous general increase, which applied to all models.

Really? Why so long??

 

[Chuq]

Really? Why so long??

3 years waiting for it to come to Australia
2 years waiting to be able to afford it
1 year waiting for the Model Y, before giving up waiting! (Hence the hilarity in the Model Y thread that the leaked price, rumoured launch, etc is happening the same week as my delivery!)

Shanghai is likely going to remain locked down until May, with reports of people starting to run out of food (to provide some context on the severity of the lock down).

Oh this sucks so bad. Was really hoping to get the VIN this month but apparently the world has other plans.

At least you have food?
