Congrats!!! Its getting close. I am so confused with Tesla building structure. I understand its on Config its just all over the place. You see some people with the same config but earlier not have a VIN some do. Its weird. But maybe they are still building OZ. Maybe they arent doing there first half international, second half domestic. These are different times. So many more ships then usual.VIN received yesterday

Delivery booked. I actually booked a day later rather than the 2 days they offered me as I couldn't make the days.
The days that were offered were actually 2 days before the EDD. My EDD was 25 Aug - 5 Sep. So concluding that
the pickup dates are better than the EDD given.

For what its worth, Pickup booked 20Aug 10AM here in Melbourne
I'm pretty sure the last major VIN shower happened on a Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday in July. I only remember because it was during my Snow holiday and when I got off the mountain I had something like 14 pages of forum to go through. That was when it started as a flood of vehicles for WA and moved over to the East Coast.Think historically larger VIN allocations have happened on Fri, Sat and Sun mornings which sort of lines up with these two ships. Fingers and toes crossed for a big RWD VIN dump this weekend
Look what's happened to Twitter since he declared he was buying them. Us non-ManU fans should be ecstatic that he's thinking of it. At this rate they'll be relegated to the Championship by the end of the season.Elon Musk just tweeted that he’s looking to buy Manchester United.
Might have to cancel my Model 3 order.
Hey Centrals. I’m picking up at 3pm tomorrow too. At Chatswood. Completely agree with you about the forum. It’s been unbelievably useful ( and comforting !)
Oooh it's so close. I'm the same spec - 1 day later!VIN received yesterday

So when you receive the vin does that mean that the car has just been made? Also did you see the vin in the Tesla app or by using that coding stuff?VIN received yesterday

Pickup Report:
Just as I arrived at the warehouse, I received a call from Tesla saying that "there was a problem with Qld Transport" and they hadn't been able to complete the registration yet and that there would be "a delay".
I wasn't too impressed, having just driven for an hour to get there, only to be told that I couldn't have the car. Luckily though, they said they were onto the problem and the wait shouldn't be any more than an hour.
There weren't too many cars waiting for pickup (at least, not compared to the photos I've seen of Sydney and Melbourne.
There were probably about another 5 cars, out of shot to the left, ready for pickup and maybe another 5-10 being readied for pickup at the other end of the warehouse). Majority were LRs, with a handful of P's and even a couple of Y's right down in the back corner.
While I waited, I was allowed to sit in the car and start messing with stuff... so I did. Build quality appears to be 10/10, nothing that I could fault.
Anyway, sat in the car and got everything set up and then eventually ran out of stuff to do, so I fired up Netflix on the screen and started watching the original Top Gun movie
Finally, after about 45 minutes a bloke came over with the number plates and attached them for me and I was free to go.
Initial impressions:
Thanks for putting up with me in the waiting room, and may VINs rain down upon you soon!

Initial impressions:
- Red is a sexy colour (exhibit 'b' below)
- The sound system is great
- Driving was way quieter than I remembered from my test drive (road noise)
- The basic autopilot features had finished calibrating by the time I completed the ~15km drive home
- I'm going to get *so* many speeding tickets - doesn't matter what speed you're going, as soon as you even think about pressing the accelerator, you're suddenly doing 10km/h over the speed limit.
- No sign of @Ormaus - probably a good thing, as I'd forgotten the water and snacks.

Cruise Control has been around for a while, Advanced cruise control, lane keeping, blind spot monitoring and similar tech have all been available for some time in many luxury and semi luxury brands. Tesla also isn't the first to introduce automated driving, they are however moving faster and with a rapidly growing and larger user base than any car, people moving or transport company at present.
Where there's a will there's a way - Which is probably why we're seeing a shift with Tesla using the term "enhanced Auto Pilot" again. It smashes all those 'known' and accepted technologies already in the market place together in a neat package.
To say our legislation will 'axe' any of it from happening - Unlikely.
To say we'll never see it in our lifetime - Unlikely.
To say that a specific government will axe it or NEVER allow it..- Also unlikely, Public opinion is incredibly powerful. Look at Germanys recent court proceedings against FSD/EAP.
OOOOOOOH SEXY RED - We are all jealous and wish you the bestPickup Report:
