on the other hand taxing car use based on km-s driven will in many cases also be double dipping as there are so many toll roads and if you already pay the toll, then you should not pay again for the km-s driven on toll roads? I wonder if someone would take them to court over double dipping if the federal court thing does not get them to drop it?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

Is it just me that grates their teeth when I read advice like “be patient, it really is a great car” from people that have received their cars or at least a VIN. More frustrating… some ordered their vehicles way after people still awaiting a VIN. I know you mean well…. But over 6 months waiting while other cars seemingly “jump the queue” is seriously annoying. Plus it seems our configuration will now be at least another month before the “dartboard of fate” possibly smiles on us. I believe it was 2 months ago that there were any meaningful production numbers.

I actually have to agree. Showing everyone your love for the car is fine and all but such "advice" gives the same vibes as rich people telling others "money doesn't buy happiness"
I might not use the exact same language today, but my post from back in May when I realised I wasn't getting my car in Q2 feels relevant here: Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
Did you end up getting it delivered. I ended up having the exact same thing happen as you did and I am also in Adelaide. I actually lost 300 bux as I had to change some business flights to accommodate the original pick up time. Definitely sounds like they need to refine their process a bit. lol
Did you end up getting it delivered the following Monday as I have had to exact same thing happen to me and I am also in Adelaide. Definitely sounds like they need to refine there process a little bit because based on all the lurking on the comments I have done it happens regularly.

I'm only one week behind with silver on standard in regional Vic, same EDD, no Vin.
I've made similar comments recently. Waiting 5 months for a VIN and around 6 to receiving your car, compared to the oldest outstanding RWD orders, then suggesting "it's worth the wait" is kinda a red rag to a bull.
I'm genuinely happy for those who are picking up their cars and I look forward to that excitement, but right now staring down what looks like an 8 month wait is frustrating.

This is just out of pure inquisitiveness. Why do people blank out their number plates? We see them on the road everyday anyway. You can even just check a plate number on your NSW service app. Is there a real reason or is it just a fad people do but really don't know why? PS yes, can't sleep again. Be pleased when this bloody car finally turns up
Also, for anyone who's interested. Our car will arrive 7mths and 1 day from our our order date. OD 28th January RWD MS with white interior. From original purchase date should have been here no later than the 10th of June. 14 to 20 weeks. Also roughly 6 weeks after build date for a rural delivery NSW.
Following up on that, I was one of the first to have the blown out deliveries. Ordered on Nov 6 last year, with a 8-12 delivery window. (The night before I ordered, the window was 3-6 weeks). That meant it should have arrived in January.
Missed out on the Q1 delivery as they hadn’t built one to my spec.
Then came the Q2 shutdown, so it looked like I’d end up in Q3, but I was lucky enough to get one of the 175 reallocated dealer demos.
Finally got a delivery date of June 18, seven and a half months after ordering.
If I had originally been told it would be 6-9 months, it wouldn’t have seemed so bad.
But…. Once the car was in my hands, I can honestly say that the wait was forgotten.
In comparison, we all know car dealers are the second lowest form of life (one above real estate salesmen), it’s just lately we are on their hook for months instead of days….
I think I've reached that stage... Did someone built a spreadsheet for accessories? I'm ready to buy some haha
At least yet. Morning Crystal is where I'm pinning my hopesMorning Cherry on its way to Aus and no VINS
