Glad they picked it up before handover, but still a shame for you. Hope mine is fine!

Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
I understand that the only way to “Pass on “ an unwanted Tesla order is for the original buyer to purchase the car from Tesla then sell it second hand to another party.
There are a number of Model 3s on Carsales where it’s clear that the seller purchased something else whilst waiting for the Tesla and now need to sell an extra car. Given shortages of almost every type of car this may be the most profitable way to go for the seller but involves a degree of hassle.
For someone purchasing a “Nearly New” Tesla or EV, you should understand that from a legal point of view it’s second hand so this affects how it qualifies, or doesn’t qualify, for various government rebates, so any prospective purchasers need to do due diligence and negotiation with full information.
In some circumstances the seller who purchased the car new and now wants to resell it can still claim a government rebate on top of potentially making a profit on the sale of the car, so any price needs to take these circumstances in mind.
How about we report you to tesla for violating your order agreement and selling your place in the queue.
Im sick and tired of people like you. If you don’t want the car, that’s fine, cancel your order!
On a similar boat. Spoke to the SA today and was told to make alternate pickup arrangements. Best they can do is to drop off at your place but needs some ‘special’ approval.
That’s very generous. So, will you be selling the car at invoice price and passing on the stamp duty rebate and EV rebates to the buyer. Very nice of you.
You have to take it to the motorway. I drove almost 400 km and still couldn't get the calibration done. I drove on a four lane Parramatta Road and thought it was adequate but no. I took it to the tollway and calibration was complete within a few minutes.So, after an 8-month wait, finally picked up my M3 LR today at Mulgrave, delivery experience was pretty much a breeze, spent half an hour in the centre, couldn’t find anything worth reporting, car was in great shape.
Took it home and examined every inch, still can’t find anything that needs fixing, quality is amazing… and that acceleration when you floor it…just reminded me of the test drive I had in early January that convinced me that this is the car…haha
For all of you still waiting out there, hang in there, it’s worth the wait, you kinda forget that you have waited so long for it the minute you pick up the car!
One thing worth mentioning is that I drove about 40kms in total today and the calibration is still in progress, is that normal?
Thanks in advance for your response!

Model 3 and Y to lose steering wheel stalks; gain touch-sensitive wheel a la Model S
Tesla is expected to move the Model 3 and Model Y to a steering wheel with touch-sensitive buttons

I'm now on the THIRD "one last thing" paperwork between finance people and dealership.
Car is sitting there in a warehouse, waiting for me.....

Awfully quite morning today, seems like it’s going to be the case going forward until Oct?
I'm sure this has been posted before, but it sounds like 2023 Model 3's "may" have a new steering wheel and the switch between gears will be touch sensitive and there will no longer be a stalk behind the wheel (so similar to Model S). Interesting to see if this occurs.

This scenario was actually my question also. If Tesla gives me a delivery date, however my financing company drags their feet or gets something wrong and has to re-submit their paperwork a few times and ends up taking an extra week or more to get their finance paperwork and payment done, will this end up allowing Tesla to sell the car to another customer or will they work with your finance company to get this sorted? As this may delay pickup by more than a week if things don't get done right the first try and from what I hear is not that rare of an occurrence.
Still awaiting a delivery notification.. EDD window "from" date keeps getting pushed back to the day before yesterday each day, and still the 7th Sept for "to" date

My EDD is still August-November. At least it didn’t change to September-December, for what that’s worth.

I did, when I got my car in April. Seemed to be taking a while, but I drove from Hobart to the Airport (Cambridge) and back, which did it. Multi-lane roads with well marked lines are best, so I reckon a bit of a drive down the southern outlet to Perth/Longford and back should do it.
Well, it is home now. Everything seems to be fine, calibrated fine on drive home, 89% battery, everybody super friendly and helpful.

I've been emailing the SA from Tesla and he doesn't seem worried. Probably because he told me just today that the car only arrived yesterday, so compliance (what the finance company wants to see) should happen in next 24/48 hours. [A person that I work with, who ordered 1 week before I did, picked theirs up 4 days ago, so I assumed mine was already in the warehouse besides theirs]

Picking up the car tomorrow at 11.30 am from Mulgrave centre Melbourne..... Finally the wait is over , also got my Rego Plate number Today too....yappieeee all excited now
So, hopped in the wife’s BMW 135i this morning. This is a nice little car, bags of power (3.0L turbo) with DCT and all the ///Motorsport addons.
First up, adjust driving position by pressing the seat memory button. WTF, doesn’t the car know who I am and automatically set the position when I put my foot on the brake?
Then put it into reverse. And wait for what seems like she’s for it to engage.
Reverse out, then have to put foot on brake, come to a stop, put it in drive, wait, then drive off.
No simple roll out slowly then flick the stalk down and drive off.
Then every time I stop, it felt like I had to wait for engine revs to increase, then car starts moving.
And it felt sloooowww…. This is a quick little beast that doe 0-100 in less than 5 seconds.
Definitely know that I made the right choice with the Model 3 Performance. 2-1/2 months in and I love it more every day.
