Had this message on my account but no change to EDD 24/8-2/9
"Additional payment required. Pay remaining balance now to avoid delays in delivery"

Sounds a bit threatening, especially since I can't get to a bank until next Monday. Anyone else had this message? Any consequences?

Had that after my first $100 test payment.
Disappeared after I paid full balance.

Guys the registration document which you download from the account. So we have to sign and complete these and take to delivery center or upload prior to going out there?

 

[Tsbedi]

I am holding back making any test payments until someone contacts me or i get a final delivery day. Hoping it is not see as delay tactics from Teslas POV

You have to fill it out and email it back to them. I had to contact my SA to find out the email address to send it to. I believe it's different for every state.

I was wondering about that too. But it was later confirmed by my SA and followed by an email from Tesla that I have to. My wife did speak to the SA on this.

I completed all the boxes and my signature on my mobile and it wasn't that easy and I spent hours doing both my M3 and MY. Then I found out my DOB on the forms was wrong. I had to do it all over again.

For NSW customers, the form is to be sent back to [email protected]

Maybe this is just a Perth thing but mine was a digital signature for rego. Signed the form on the phone. Weird how it's not consistent

Has anyone had a 3rd party picking up the vehicle on his/her behalf?

I have been away from home for 8 weeks and will be for another 2 weeks. I drafted up a POA to my wife with as much details as I could think of before I left. My EDD is from Aug 8 followed by the MY from Aug 18.

**** Breaking news ****

The Model Y with a 72-kWh battery pack will first use CATL's M3P batteries, which will be available early next year, according to local media.

Same as the RWD model 3s.

I managed to hold off on ship tracking... was going great. Alas, today I lost the fight.

Impatient Perth soon-to-be M3 owner... EDD Aug 23rd - 6 Sept.

Was wondering what ship would be bringing new toys. Looks like not many options coming into Freo other than THERMOPYLAE, which is docked in Brisbane currently. Stops in Port Kembla, Melbourne then Freo on 16th August. Seems to line up nicely with current ETA's.

I heard on yesterday’s episode of Tesla Daily podcast about delays on a factory announcement from CATL due to US / China politics

There was an email to you about how to return it (digital sign and email to send it to, print sign and scan works too).

If they were like us we never got the email? Just saw it on the account page and had to end up ringing them.

Ask Tesla for a template. Then you are assured it will be correct.

The Armacup schedule tells you the Fremantle transshipment vessel for each of the ships from Shanghai - for Morning Clara it is indeed Thermopylae, and for both Viking Passama and Morning Crystal it is Titania.

CATL to Supply M3P Batteries to Tesla in Q4 - Pandaily

Chinese battery giant CATL will supply Tesla with M3P batteries in Q4 of this year, which will be installed in Model Y models with 72-degree battery packs. This version of the Model Y will be launched early next year.

pandaily.com

Appears CATL have upgraded LFP tech to LMFP which boosts capacity so are gearing up to supply a 72kWh pack to Tesla by end of year.

Will be interesting to see whether Tesla launches this as a new Medium Range variant or upgrades the base model (from 60kWh currently).

What does this mean?

It means a new generation of RWD is coming for both Model Y and Model 3 with much higher battery capacity and range. LFP will be outdated.

I take it all back - Tesla please take all of the time you need to get to my order.
