Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[kpdog]

Does anybody know how to check when the car has arrived in Australia just so I can get a heads up?

Do I check RAV daily? (VIN not bringing anything up yet)

Or do I do ship tracking?

For those expecting cars (east coast) within the next couple of weeks, which ship do you think we're on? Or do you think it has already docked?

Thanks

Wu Wa videos drop on Friday right or is it Saturday usually?

Normally footage taken Friday, and begins to get posted Saturday.

Jason Yang tends to take footage Thursday and posts somewhere between Friday and Monday - varies a lot more.

Apparently my cousin has an EDD for a M3 RWD (OD Jan) in Perth next week. Any idea what ship it'll be?

So there'll be five RoRos from Shanghai arriving in Oz between mid-Sept and mid-Oct - Cherry, Crystal, Don Juan, Paglia and Turandot.

I'd like to think some of them will be bringing Model 3s as well as forklifts.

Cherry 22/08 still. Yet only arrived last night?

 

[Braz]

Hey Braz, can you let me know how car looks like when it arrives, please? Do they cover it or is it a covered truck?

Will do

he thing is, the plaintifs are saying it is an excise, and only federal government can levy an excise.

I can't see how it can be an excise, because it's not on a good. They would have to tax something tangible that you buy (like kWh). I don't want to give them ideas so I'll say no more

 

[Braz]

Hey PcS000 will be able to let you know very soon. Courier just called, car will be delivered Monday between 11-3pm Can't believe it

Yeah. Ha v New South Wales is going to be heavily referenced - this was the case that disallowed State-based tobacco license fees based on quantity of tobacco sold, which had the effect of invalidating the existing State-based fuel levies, resulting the introduction of the Commonwealth fuel excise. They said:

Therefore we reaffirm that duties of excise are taxes on the production, manufacture, sale or distribution of goods, whether of foreign or domestic origin.

But then the High Court agreed to hear the case, which is a good indication that the case is at least arguable! So we shall see.

At this rate it may be a retirement present (and thats not that far off).

@Lerxt I just noticed that you have done a type-o in your signature for the OD, unless you managed to order it 2 days after it was built (you lucky thing)

Having gone through this recently, expect the EDD date to move one day at a time until they let you know the pickup options, it was very frustrating...

Received Vicroads request for odometer reading for their EV Tax. Checked the Rego site site and new car IS registered and is NOT stolen.

Picked up today from the Brisbane centre. Lots of vehicles there getting prepped. Absolutely loving it, although there's a lot to get used to with it. The system calibrated quickly, so I was able to have a good drive back up to the Sunshine coast using Autopilot. It even handled the roadworks much better than I expected (for autosteer). It's fairly hopeless at recognising speed signs though, so I had to jump in quick to dial back the max speed, etc.

Planning a long drive tomorrow - 400km+ - just because I can.

But, with this, I'm going to bow out of this thread and mostly stick to the rest of the site... The wait, although annoying is worth it.

Congrats, she's stunning! Thrilled your wait is over with your beautiful EV!


I think I see my red RWD right behind! Here's wishful thinking, I'm in Syd and only ordered 2 weeks ago so bearing down for the long wait ahead.

That red one looks like a Performance version as it has 20in turbine wheels on it.

As the car seems to be getting closer, I thought it was time to bust out the plates and drill the mounting holes. Went great for the rear one by sadly cracked the front one partly through my lack of trade skills and partly because these plates are brittle AF. Oh well…have to order a new one and live with the cracked one for a while.
