Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Vedaprime]

Hey @Vedaprime. We know VINs are allocated over a few weeks for each batch, but is the current drip feed we are getting normal? Can we expect a big dump at some point?

It is always a mix of vin frenzy and drip feed.

Really looking forward to a frenzy at some point then!

I've seen video [unfortunately can't locate again] that shows VIN being attached to vehicle when fully assembled dash is installed. Maybe the VIN structure has already been predefined as Hoopyfrood described. But i think VIN allocation comes later. We know that they don't build to order, so maybe after vehicle leaves plant, maybe on board ship? I also think that the QC process [including road test etc] is done before allocation, else we could see VIN allocations revoked due to faults being [rarely] detected.

Yep! I think 'built to order' vs 'batch' is a false dichotomy. Parts of the process are batched, parts of the process are to spec, parts of the process are to order. It's really several factories.

I have an update! I was just assigned with a VIN! It is now asking me to pay the remaining payments.

M3 RWD White/Black/Sports Wheel
OD: 23/1/22
VIN: 9/7/22

Congratulations, but also damn you
Ordered 22/01/22 RWD White/Black 18's and I've got squat.. I hope they did a decent batch for Australia and now it's just a matter of assigning them (Evidently not in order of purchase lol)

Please update your listing in the Teslike spreadsheet, to give us all some hope for progress:

Where are you getting your car delivered? If it's Sydney, then you're the second example of the "queue" not being what most of us would expect it to mean.

en_HK ?? how about en_AU ?

The system defaulted to my current location when I looked up. I placed the order in AU for SYD delivery. I changed it back to AU and it showed the same.

This is exactly my spec and ordered on the same day. No VIN

Identical configuration.

I hope they can wrap up the January M3 RWD orders soon and move on to the February orders (not forgetting our friends with late 2021 orders of course).

I want to see some performance orders!

[Ormaus]

Ohh some RHDs in there too. Still wrong port for the vessels heading our direction

Oooh @ 3:00 Right-hand drive 3’s. You can see the steering wheel in the cars with white interiors!
