They could have more ready to go but waiting for Morning Crystal. VIN's today could very well just be to fill the slots that have for the Passama

Okay, stay calm in other words? haha. Do you reckon all three ships are going to be carrying Teslae to Australia? [clara, passama and crystal].They could have more ready to go but waiting for Morning Crystal. VIN's today could very well just be to fill the slots that have for the Passama

Got my Gen 3 charger installed today.. the 'want' for my car has grown big time now. The charger looks far too lonely!!
Nah, still freak out because I've got no idea really. Just speculating
According to Veda Prime all 3 ships will be carrying 3 & Y's
What the 3rd ship is though
Got an sms this morning saying they had a car for me, couple of hours later another sms saying the invoice is ready.. have to check though...

If it is then the production line closed early or every car produced on the 16th and 17th went to people not on here or updating the tracker.
There was one car reported in the tracker built on the 16th July and it was a RWD, I'm hopeful they produced 2 days worth of RWDs which would be all of these January and February orders most likely. In the past VINs have been assigned when on the ship so there is plenty of time to find out. Some drone footage at the end of this week will give us an idea of how many cars were produced.
If that's it for Model 3 production until post shutdown (expected to be back 6/8/22) when would they likely produce our cars? What is the production schedule normally for Model 3's for Australia in previous quarters? Do they produce our cars at the start of each month for the first two months of the quarter?
After the upgrade, the production capacity will increase by 2000 per week and your question won't be relevant anymore. Even the increased capacity of a single week is well over Australia's monthly demand.
My question is still relevant as I asked when they are likely to produce our cars.. In previous quarters from memory they only produce for Oz in the first few days of each month, the last month is reserved for domestic.
What I am saying is that our previous knowledge or experience won't be applicable anymore... You won't know if they are going to increase the per-country production allocation proportionally or change all the previous schedules entirely given they would have way more capacity.
The consensus seems to be that Shanghai builds cars for AU/NZ during the start of each quarter so they can ship the cars and have owners take delivery before the end of each quarter. If this is the case, one could speculate that when M3 production resumes at the end of July / start of August (assuming a 2-week shutdown from about now), the vehicles they manufacture during the remainder of Q3 may not be for this part of the world. We may need to wait for the October builds of the M3, i.e. the Q4 builds.
Having said that, I hope I'm totally wrong and magically Shanghai can put a big dent in the Q1 orders and we get our VINs soon.

What you said makes much business sense, as even if they re-started their production on the 6th of August, they won't be able to deliver to us before the end of September. It is better for Tesla to manufacture for local markets which could be delivered within days.
I guess we can only hope for November deliveries now. My Model Y performance might be able to deliver before the Model 3.

Yes I did alter it and it reverted to wrong year AGAIN. Have given up - pretty obvious that I haven't time-travelled to Dec 22 and then ordered a car.
Yes I am the same , desperately hoping somehow my March 13 order magically was filled , ignoring the "you know there won't be any changes for months voice depressingly whispering to me "... So good luck to everyone and glad to know there are others like me out thereI hear ya. I’ve been doing the same, where the sane part of me says “you know there won’t be any changes for you” but the other part of me says ”you never know, it may happen today”.
That is exactly what I am thinking, hoping these shipments clear out the orders up to March and March orders onwards are in next quarter allocation meaning the November range of August-November delivery time is when I hope to receive notice
Especially as my car rego runs out in December.
