Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[MThreeLR]

With Tesla supply issues and prices BYD is looking more appealing by the minute. And this is from someone who's got a Tesla.

That BYD Atto 3 interior is just horrendous.

On the other hand:

Yeah, I'm thinking the Blue and Black as well.

 

[trippa]

ah well, our hopes turn to Tesla Friday!

When's your order? You're LR right?

Ahh. Don't worry. The signature thing. Always forget...

4-6 weeks is a bit crazy. Could they be on Crystal!? No. Maybe? No.

or Morning Clara???

We’ve come full circle, the SA’s are probably telling us what they read in the news, which is coming from the forums


Geez the interest rates keep climbing, 5% looks like the cheapest now. I did my original calculation on 3%.

When’s the next cash rate hike expected, be nice to lock a rate in

My SA said exactly that, I would know before him. I'm checking for ME, he is checking for ME + umpteen others.

I agree ... others love it (I don't know how). My friend drives an M3 and was one of the first to order a BYD for DW. Still waiting (like us) for the BYD.

Fingers crossed for all of you who have been waiting ages already! Maybe we'll see some M3P's appear on the board?

It’s almost worse having *some* hope for an imminent delivery with this latest VIN batch - until a few days ago I had totally checked out and resigned to getting my car some time before Christmas. Still reckon my (Feb order) chances for a Q3 delivery are low/moderate. Not based in fact necessarily, just trying to manage my own expectations! Good to hear the many voices of reason on this forum.

My order was an 8 week expected delivery… Dec 2021. Still waiting.

So, would that point to it being on the Morning Clara or would it still be on the Crystal or Passama? How long does it take to process after it's off the ship?

What are its scheduled dates at Shanghai and Port Kembla?

My experience is that fulfilment to Australia has been severely rationed this year. No individual activity (incl. VINs) should be taken as a corner being turned. Tesla are proven unable to forward plan, communicate, and stick to any estimates. One can only sensibly hope that rationing eases via capacity increases plus MY splitting demand. Fingers crossed for all nonetheless.

So glad i fixed a while back! Yikes!

I thought I had everything under control a few years ago. Fixed the mortgage, the only problem for me is I fixed them too early and by the time I went variable the rates were high. Oh well, I got a low rate when I needed it.
