16-Jul VIN received - 30-Aug collection for me. I think there were a couple on here with same build date who got a collection a week or so before me. I'm Melbourne so that would add a good few days over a Sydney order.

Here’s a handy spreadsheet we have going here in this thread to help answer this question: Tesla Australia Delivery Tracker.xlsx
Anyone who would like to provide their info, no matter what stage of order / delivery you’re at, please fill in this form and the info you submit will show up on the spreadsheet: Microsoft Forms
Daily use recommendation is charge to 90%. You can charge to 100% occasionally (i.e. road trip) which is where the LR will have the range advantage.
It also has a higher maximum DC charging rate (220kW vs 170) if you use a supercharger/Ultra rapid charger on said road trip.

I got to 250kms or so before it finished. Try to find a 2 lane road at 80km/h and drive along the middle lane for a clicks to see if that gets you over the line.
Couple of interesting developments this week.
As reported with others, Macquarie offered to start my financing now ahead of my EDD of Sep 21 - 30, as my approval expires this Sat and I'd then lose the remarkable 2.99% rate. Cool, no worries.
I then phoned the SA and checked they had everything they needed for rego etc. I mentioned the EDD would be right when I'm overseas, returning the night of the 30th - could I arrange for the 1st come time?
Turns out he thinks it might actually arrive... before I go overseas on the 11th. His 'data' indicated it would be arriving then and would come back to me. Holy moly.

Picked up yesterday and the wait, whilst seemingly endless at the time, was sooooo worth it. Cannot get the smile off my dial!
Although we do now have a small dilema and perhaps a new accessory requirement that has not been mentioned before -
We are now discussing the need for a keypad style lock for the front door since we have always carried the house keys on the car key - that is now no longer needed and the danger of heading out and not being to be able to get back into the house is a real possibility.....once again living in a world of first world issues
Picked up yesterday and went straight from the Hendra pickup site in Brisbane onto the Southern Cross Way/Gateway. Calibration was done within 15 kms before getting to the Redcliffe turnoff....
Does sound like something is not right with yours if it is taking so long....

When did you order and what model ?Picked up the Tesla this morning and noticed that it came with the Michelin tiresThe calibration was completed within 30 min and all the other cars became visible. Still need to finish setting it up to my liking, but the ride was less stiff than what I remembered from the test drive in Jan and I did get used to one pedal driving in a relatively short time. Hang in there everyone it will be worth the wait in the end.

Have you tried rebooting the system? Could be just a glitch.
Problem solved!View attachment 844678

Get the keypad lock with finger print sensor. Have been using the finger print so long have forgotten what the keypad code is.Although we do now have a small dilema and perhaps a new accessory requirement that has not been mentioned before -

was thinking about this too. planning on keeping spare pair in the glove box (since it locks) to avoid getting locked out as my door setup makes it hard to go keyless (screen door and normal door).View attachment 844678

Nice problem to have! Congratulations
I have had one of these locks for years and it has worked well

I like the fact that it has no internet connectivity, less chance for hacking!

Yes - and if you are charging at home then it's only road trips where the additional range is needed anyway. I seldom use more than 20% of the LR's range in a typical day, but happily charge up over 90% when I need it for a road trip.
The LR also has a slightly longer battery & drive train warranty - 192,000km vs 160,000km in the RWD.
Just an FYI peeps -- I decided to switch from gunmetal to blue, original order day was 16/03 -- there was talk about that modifying your order causes your order date to reset and also loose access to getting the wall charger kit as they took it away in later orders.
I've spoke to service rep and he's advised
- Your order date stays the same
- The wall charger kit removal is based on original order date
- You dont 'loose your place' in the queue

When I got my current Model 3 I had same issue, so I swapped my front door lock with Kevo lock that works on Bluetooth certificates, so I just carry a phone that is both key to the car and key to the house.Although we do now have a small dilema and perhaps a new accessory requirement that has not been mentioned before -

Or you can leave a spare key somewhere under a carpet in the car.View attachment 844678

I'm at about 220km with calibration still incomplete, understandable though as it has mostly been driving at night on busy city streets. Going on a longer trip soon so might restart the calibration to allow it some cleaner data, rather than the jumbled mess that it probably has right now.
