I ordered the exact same model in Sydney 3 days after you and got the 5-7 months wait
. Kicking myself for procrastinating over the purchase for a week!

Many, many new cars come with large diameter wheels ranging from 18" to 21". Heck, even a Camry SX has 19" wheels, KIA Sorento GT-Line has 20" wheels, Hyundai Sonata N-Line has 19" wheels, two of the Mazda 6 range have 19" wheels. It's not limited to a Tesla Model 3 LR problem, it's actually not a problem at all really - it's just something to consider.Hi IcedCoffee, I ended up calling an SA to ask them about the benefits of moving down to the 18" from the 19" (which will not result in a refund for difference in cost, in case anyone was wondering).
I did voice my concern about the ample anecdotal feedback regarding the 19" being more susceptible to pothole damage, but he did bring up a valid point, it really depends on your driving style and how fast you're going when you hit a given pothole. He also mentioned that he personally has a Model 3 LR that has 19" wheels and he hasn't had any issues with potholes so far.
He also mentioned that, ideally to capitalise on $$$ I should probably look at picking up 18" wheels after-market if I change my mind about the 19" wheels, selling the latter for a little bit of $.
For anyone still wanting to switch from 19" to 18" though, the SA mentioned that it would not impact/affect your place in the queue, nor will it impact the purchase price.
Additionally - I really would be asking more questions on here and watching YouTube videos etc than expecting expert advice from SA's. Would be just your luck that you changed your order from 19" to 18" and your place in the queue reset to today
however we now have to pay 2.5c per KM like they do in victoria. So as someone who misses out on the rebate as i got a LR. I now also have to per km i drive on the road. Wish we never got a rebate.
Considering the Australian dollar has dropped 5% against the USD in the last month, it seems a good bet.
I wouldn't worry about the estimated date "cutoff". I got my LR order in the same day before they changed from 8-12 weeks to 14-20 weeks, and now about 20 weeks later I'm still waiting anyways, not knowing if the car will even come this quarterI ordered the exact same model in Sydney 3 days after you and got the 5-7 months wait
Meanwhile many people who ordered the RWD, even well into the "14-20 weeks" estimate, received their cars in the first quarter.
I ordered an M3P the day after it kicked over from 3-6 weeks to 8-12 weeks. I'm still awaiting a VIN 26 weeks and 3 days later...I ordered the exact same model in Sydney 3 days after you and got the 5-7 months wait
My hope is that we get our cars in the next shipment. At least that is what the SA from Tesla told me.I wouldn't worry about the estimated date "cutoff".

I’m in a similar position. Hope the Turnadot has the more expensive model 3’s onboard
20 weeks and 5 months is pretty much the same, you'll very likely be closer to 5 months than 7I ordered the exact same model in Sydney 3 days after you and got the 5-7 months wait
Hahahahaha. I just went on another thread and what do you know... The source of the factory shut down is frikking Wu Wa. Again! End this lockdown and let him go outside. He's bored and causing trouble.
Why great news before the price rise? It should be based on the price of the car before on-roads, which as of today is $65,625 for a white RWD, which is still under the $70k limit.
From July 1, 2027, however indexation of that 2.5c starts from now - so it could be 3c/km or higher come mid-2027.
I ordered a M3 LR white / black interior on 29/11/21. No VIN yet.
I've Had delivery extended 3 times. On 21/2/22 I was given a new timeline: 3-6 mths from order date (March-May for based on my order date).Turandot, Morning Clara, family is going insane. Purchased my wall charger in March. At least I get heated windscreen wipers with this edition.

Out of curiosity…are late November orders the longest wait on here?
So hoping they’ve done a LR / P run for all of you
