Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
All was going well with the excitement over the past few pages, with VINS being allocated and then that hoppyfood guy comes back on the forum and it’s all doom and gloom again
Zoom out. It's not just about production! Those cars have to be delivered. Shipped. Processed. Capacity at the delivery centre. Numbers of car carriers at either end.
In my woolies example you are saying "But they come from a different fridge! Why u mad?"
The fridge isn't the issue. It's the queue to check out.
Oh sorry. Weee. Yay. Waiting. Woooo. Poor corporation.All was going well with the excitement over the past few pages, with VINS being allocated and then that hoppyfood guy comes back on the forum and it’s all doom and gloom again
There isnt a seperate rhd line its the model 3 line and its been making RHDs recently. I think i'll call it quits here.
Yea I have figured I have already waited soo long, another 1-2 months wont hurt.
Still not as long as the wait on the Sorento Gt Line we had on order. Ordered May last year. Still no ETA

Even if you got the VIN today you'd still be waiting another 6 weeks or so.
Ah well, we will see what the next few weeks bring.
And if Wu Wa's videos continue at the same cadence, then tomorrow (ish) there will be another video dated 1/6/2022 and we can have a look around the plant during shutdown. Hopefully see a car park full of M3 RHDs in assorted colours (but mainly white because AU).
Either way, back to waiting and making stuff up based on less than 1% evidence
Except the Tesla bad at comms. That part is 100% evidence.

Sure. And if you're happy waiting that's cool.
But i think suppliers who are ridiculously late while delivering to others need a kick in the pants. And i think that's likely a view Tesla themselves agree with.
Ha! True. All of this could be resolved with a single bulk email outlining plans (providing that email isn't bumping us again).Even if you got the VIN today you'd still be waiting another 6 weeks or so.

The radio silence is (IMO) the most frustrating part.
How hard is it to send an email with *some* clarification? Not every detail, but just enough that people have a rough (but realistic) idea of when their cars might actually come, so they aren't stuck in limbo land, ie. "will it / won't it arrive this quarter?"
Do we know how the vins are allocated in the past? Does the vin allocation staggered over weeks or over few days?
No SMS. Just saw an update in the app, which took me to the login account page.

According to Veda they dribble out over the space of a number of weeks.
I havent been watching long enough to say otherwise. The Demo Car allocation was pretty unique so we cant read too much into that.
Separate models, separate lines, same as any other car manufacturer.
If these Ys hadn't have gone to Australia they would have gone to other markets.
If anything it's more impacted Y buyers in UK, China etc.
Essentially Tesla has reserved some Q3 and Q4 production as though people placed orders back in December or March.
So it's more those who jumped in quickly should see themselves as fortunate.
They delivered 4400 cars in Q1
What was the time frame when you ordered in Nov/Dec? Q2?
