Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Ormaus]

At 5:00 I think I'm seeing RHD vehicles at the charger - assuming that the white seat is blocked by steering wheel there.

Great to see the new car testing happening throughout the video too.

Here is a good shot of the area @Hoopyfrood discovered that we think is M3s - note no black area at the back of the car.

At 7:24 a car pulls up in prep for the car carriers and the driver gets out the RHD of the vehicle.

So both the 30th and 1st (Wu Wa's video) RHD vehicles are being moved by car carrier - to port I'd imagine?

Great video

It gets complicated when you try to calculate for all of Australia, because a lot of it comes down to "it depends" (e.g. Perth cars sometimes get transferred onto a different ship in different ports). However to keep it simple, lets stick to Mel-Syd-Bne.

Ship arrives in Port Kembla, it then typically takes around 1-3 days for the cars to be processed. Then it depends on how quickly they can book the car carriers (when your car gets booked on a carrier to leave the port this triggers the SMS to book your delivery slot as they know when it's expected to arrive at the Tesla delivery centre), typically the cars start arriving in Tesla delivery centres around 4-20 days after processing. I've been in the position of having people posting photos of them and their new car on here and still waiting for the SMS as my car is at the back of the queue to leave Port Kembla.
I hope this is helpful. For those that have a VIN and want more certainty, I'd suggest signing up for Vedaprime, it just takes all the guess work out of it.

Yeah 4-20 days is good. Wait that is 1-3 days processing at the dock then 4-20 days after? So that is a range of 5-23 days?

When I'm more awake I'll play around with post shipping work ranges and see what I can see.

If VINs only happen after (at earliest) the car is built then they have had RHD production on the 28th, 29th, 30th. Hopefully all for AU ?!

If its full days then thats about 2k M3s and more MYs (I think they had a higher production rate than the M3s even before the shutdown and upgrades).

Yeah Veda's service will add a little more certainty from various sources but I dont even have a VIN so I either dwell on milk choices or analyse videos and do calculations

Work with 3-20 days if you're basing it on the date range that Tesla are providing. My car took 12 days to leave the port after the arrival of the ship.

And that got it to the delivery centre - how long did they need before you could pick it up?

I picked it up a day later. I got the SMS to book my pick up about a week before the actual pick up.

 

[Ormaus]

Oh look its the 3rd July. Now with @Maximillan 's numbers added in. Good refinement thanks.

Will work on better rules for colours later - but they are a gauge on how well they fit the Tesla date ranges.

Gday Greyalset, I bought my mats from "Crazy Victor" on eBay; they look to be of good quality but of course I don't yet have a car to try them out properly...

Thank you.. will check them..

I ordered on January 11th 2022 a RWD silver and black from Adelaide and I have received nothing. Not ever an estimated delivery time.

Data, process and behaviour analysis is what I do

This is all good practise for when I get my VIN.

Makes me glad we have an identical order with a similar order date! Albeit with a different location.

My delivery date was 18/06/22 in Brisbane. I got my invoice and VIN on 24/05. From what I recall, the Morning Clara docked at Port Kembla around 03/06. Build date was 26/04.
Hope this helps.

No update waiting for you in the mobile app?

Otherwise not great news for us Midnight Silver crowd. Thanks for sharing

I paid when I got an update in my app saying delivery would be Jun 5-13. I could have left it later, as delivery ended up being on 18/6.

Other RAdelaidians may have to confirm, but I remember seeing in here that no date appears in app b/c no delivery centre there?

More looking for window needing to accept swap from radar to Tesla Vision.

I didn't know this, thanks!

It's a shame we don't have a delivery centre here, but I'm thankful we have a service centre.

The curious thing is Google Maps shows a Tesla Delivery Centre in Port Adelaide : Tesla Delivery Centre · 34 Francis St, Port Adelaide SA 5015, Australia

Am typing from imperfect memory, others local to SA may need to confirm

So I've just looked at the Armacup schedule and all the ships supposedly arrive in WA (Fremantle) on 30 August. Add 7-14 days for getting them sorted and to the show room, Perth orders are minimum looking at mid September delivery? Is that right or can we still hold out hope for August?
