Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
9-12 months in NZ for the RWD, which is probably 80%+ of the orders since its the only one that qualifies for an $8625 rebate. LR and P are just too expensive for most.

Model Y wait times in the US is now 12 months. All manufacturers are having the same issues. My partner was looking at a Kia Carnival ICE and the dealer said it was a 13 month wait..
And paid for by a fee on dirty ICEs now. Get to remind all the Ford ranger drivers that they paid for part of your car
Model Y may be different but the wait time for a M3P in US is June - Aug, some countries were only 4-8 weeks. I get global problems but it still seems that AUS has the longest delays by a decent margin. All models are 9-12, NZ for a M3P or M3LR are 6-9. Big difference in time for cars that are essential built and transported to the same part of the world.
Are there other Aus issues (regulatory?) That are slowing it down?
It's probably a function of demand. They can only build so many RHD models per quarter, if Australia already has three quarters of volume on the books then the earliest you'll get a car is 9-12 months.
When this shipment arrives with all our orders, every second car we're going to see on the road is going to be tesla model 3

I ordered on 11/1 and got a phone call and email last Friday 13/5. I was told more information would appear in my account in a few weeks.
Unfortunately, they do not know anything, except second half of this year. They informed me that My order, from December, would most likely be deliver November/December. They also said their quarter deliveries range from mid to late in the cycle. They summarised by saying Q3 late August to end of September, but not likely. Q4 delivery late November to end of December.
I got the call today too. I feel like I'm late to the party . Nothing new - but I did find it funny that my email came through with:
'I can see that you placed your order on (insert date) so I understand that you were expecting delivery soon, however we want to assure you that our team are doing everything possible to resume normal operations. We will continue to prioritise deliveries based on order placed date, location and configuration and provide further delivery timing updates as soon as they come to hand.'
I figure from now they realise they are way behind the scuttlebutt of the internet and they just be ticking boxes.

I gave my local Tesla a call yesterday to fast-track the call I was already expecting (in my 19th week of "20", now pushed out by a few months) - after having a whine here about not hearing right away, I didn't have the heart to take any of that frustration out on the guy who had to deliver the news. Poor dude's voice was shaking and he sounded thoroughly defeated - I imagine these poor SA's have been getting a hard time. To anybody taking/making a call to Tesla, remember to not shoot the messenger!

I tried to defuse the angst for my SA by texting them first, to say I knew the call was coming and that I understand the situation. He called me with a lot of relief that he didn't have face a cranky person on the other end of the phone.
The bottleneck isn't the car production, it's the local delivery resources (in particular car carrier availability). Maybe they should contract QUBE or someone to rail the vehicles out from Port Kembla after they've gone through import processing.Maybe they'll plan a huge RHD production run for Australia so the 14-16 week people and 5-7 month people (plus all those LR/P people who been waiting extra long) get delivered all at the same time in 2H...... maybe not actually ....... who knows
Where does this idea come from. The cars haven’t been made yet. They are not in this country, so there is no bottleneck here
