Breach of promise? No. Broken contract? Read your contract. No. Discrimination based on location?
No, that's not a part of anti discrimination law.

None of those would fly. It is an estimated delivery date, it is neither a promise nor a contract. Discrimination tends to be on something you can't change (with some caveats) i.e gender, race, age, sexual preference...
You can always change your location. Move to China. They are pushing Tesla for more local deliveries.
I share your view. it was my wife's urging to go to Tesla, and its likely to be mostly her car [when it arrives]. There's little prospect of swaying her opinion, even if i thought that jumping ship might be productive. Few other car manufactures have shorter wait times, even ICEs. so what point of changing now?
I am fairly lost with the Tesla brand though, and could seriously consider alternatives.
Joe_B is right anyone of us jumping ship would have no effect on Tesla, but a whole lot of us doing might make them pay attention.
I'm not a lawyer, so open to positive suggestions on what MIGHT work.Breach of promise? No. Broken contract? Read your contract. No. Discrimination based on location?
This is the lady we need to be directing our frustration towards. Robyn Denholm. Head of Tesla Australia.
Robyn Denholm - Wikipedia
She succeeded Elon Musk as the chair of Tesla worldwide not Australia.
Now there's a good idea .... booking tickets to North Korea (just across the bridge) immediately.
I mean getting shunted twice in a row plus a failure to make enough in Q1 seems to point to a lack of representation made from the "ROW" or Australian head. And certainly going the other way down the line there has been an obvious lack of action. No communication to either shopfront staff or customers at all. It's even obvious from the varying reports of what SAs have told the small percentage of people in here that they haven't even bothered to provide them with a script or bothered to present a united front. We have SAs telling us they weren't informed of Model Y being released, they just got swamped one day. Elon was even surprised by demand, indicating he wasn't adequately briefed either.
All points to someone at the top of the Australian arm being crap at their job.
I am sure they have meetings. I am sure someone can pipe up and say "Hey! British customers have only been waiting 3 months. Maybe our market could do with some cars.".
How does Britain offer a more profitable sale on a car? They aren't part of the EU.
Shut up or give up is the worst strategy ever. Not sure what your reasoning is there. And i never said anything about getting stroppy. It's business. You apply pressure and ask where your order is up to. You've never worked in procurement, have you. Also sounds a lot like the above Tesla upper management staff member's strategy i just described. Shut up or give up.
No, i mean all of us not taking their lack of information as an answer and asking to go up the line perhaps. Applying pressure somehow. Not waiting patiently basically. And perhaps, with the lack of representation from Tesla Australia, somehow creating that representation ourselves. Email the board of directors? Google reviews? All give them 1 star and say we will change it if they build our cars? Draw media attention? Twitter?
Damages? Inconvenience, impact on financial planning. False advertising which would be fair trading?Breach of promise? No. Broken contract? Read your contract. No. Discrimination based on location?
We may well be getting our knickers in a knot over nothing. At this stage it is mere speculation that there may be no Q3 deliveries. It would, however be very useful and reassuring to get some sort of assurance from someone in Tesla, (ie someone much higher up the food chain than a SA), that there will be a significant Q3 allocation.

Is it worth contacting one of the EV specific news sites (thedriven.io etc), see if they wanna do an article on the possibility of AU missing yet another allocation and resulting customer frustration. They could ask someone in Tesla for comment?
You guys are trusting someone who thinks there are no Q2 deliveries, when everyone in this thread knows otherwise, and also thinks there will be no Q3 deliveries?
A guy who has been wrong more than he's been right?
Interesting play here. Let us know how the media feel.

Is this how there are some MY's around atm? They only just opened sales for MY here in Aus, but there's definitely two or three in Brisbane already.
