Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Thanks. I am on 250 km and still doesn't work. I'll try rebooting and see how it goes. Just want to make sure I am missing one step before calibration starts.
Except the Victoria RUC is not an excise and the court case will fail. That will force the Feds to have a discussion with the States to agree on a national, uniform RUC arrangement which should include goodies like no more stamp duty on EVs. The States will have the upper hand in that negotiation (e.g. extracting a guaranteed share of the national RUC) because the High Court will have found that states have the constitutional right to collect an RUC, so any State could go it alone if the national deal is not to their liking.

Delivery today
Canberra delivering approx 15 per day at the moment. During my delivery no other customers and 8 delivery and guys getting cars ready for delivery.
Everyone was super cool and they even removed my aeros and installed my cap kit. Very good experience

Thanks @PcS000 .
Based on your message I decided to speak with my SA today (Will be Sydney Collection) and asked if there was any further update on my estimated delivery dates being shown on app which is SEPT 7 - SEPT 22. I was not sure if that would even be possible to meet that timeframe because I have not yet received a VIN.
He said that his system shows that its due to be delivered to their showroom on SEPT 13 and that it all looks on track and that its not a worry that the VIN isn't showing yet and that it will show on the final invoice.
So any Sydney collection people with a similar estimate delivery date to mine... might be good news that the estimate is correct?
ORDER DATE: 14/3
SPEC: M3 Long Range, Black, 19inch Sports Rims, Black Interior, No Self Drive
No it isn't. Tax on an imported good that is controlled by the Federal Government vs trying to tax road use that individual States are responsible for. It couldn't be any more dissimilar.
Not many constitutional lawyers are that confident with their comments on the case... its actually quite contentious.
Hi PcS000, have you been told that your car is with the 3rd party courier yet? Ours was picked up by them on Wednesday. Just waiting for the call now to say when they are dropping it off. We're South of Cooma
Hence the excitement of making a public prediction which might turn out to be wrong! Feel free to bookmark my post and quote it back to me when the verdict is handed down!
But if the High Court finds that Victoria’s RUC is unconstitutional on the basis that it is an ‘excise’, then a huge range of other existing State taxes would also be at risk, and operation of our Federation would be shaken to its core. It would be a legal earthquake.
The thing is, the plaintifs are saying it is an excise, and only federal government can levy an excise.

And the federal government is supporting the plaintifs (with an eye on implementing themselves)

I've got a similar EDD and Tesla have been chasing me for the signed Rego papers. I'm puzzled that you don't have a VIN yet he claims that it will be delivered on the 13th September - how does he know what "it" is? The car would obviously need to have been built by now, so why can't they tell you the VIN with the same certainty as when it'll arrive?

Not sure Man.. Macquarie Bank also received updated figures for the car now that the stamp duty exemption changes have happened in NSW so things seem to be happening in the back end just over the past few days. Roughly $3,000 cheaper than my initial order price (Yay!)
We wait and see I suppose... one of the joys of waiting for a new car, nothing is certain until we hold it in our hands.
I just fitted one of the Lockly smart locks. Wish I did it sooner, it's absolutely fantastic, once I pick up the car today I no longer have keys in my life. Did it for the same reason as you, knew I would end up walking out without the keys.View attachment 844678
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
Fingerprint reading is very very accurate, don't have any complaints.
I’m in a panic.
Original EDD was 20-30 Sep.
Then it was brought forward to 3-14 Sep.
Now I’ve just checked and the app says Aug 25- 7 Sep!!!!
My garage isn’t painted and old car not sold. Insurance not sorted. When do I get my rego number? I need to get money together and pay Tesla. Panic panic panic

Good luck kpdog! One other thing....check length of your garage....when I recently hired a M3 it was too long to fit in my garage because of some boxes and other things I was storing. Forced me to do a clean out ...hope it all goes well for you.
Congrats and take a deep breath. First, pay Tesla. Organise your insurance with your vin (you might have to call as this option isn't on some websites but they do it) you won't get your rego until near the pickup. Yes, the shed painting, you might have to do some overtime for a few nights
seriously though enjoy. You're a lucky person
