Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
Was of the coast of PNG this time yesterday.Sure but if they did that they'd all have to be parked up dockside until they can get on boats, and even if they fully chartered a few boats to move them all in one go they'd then just be sitting around on the docks here waiting for car transporters. It's a whole supply chain with bottlenecks at every step of the process.
No VINs from Paglia seem to be in RAV yet, so its still a possibility. Seems to be a bottleneck at the moment at PK with Asian Vision unloading just a few days before

Yep, seems to be a backlog. My car is supposed to be on Paglia but no Vin in RAV yet. EDD still 31 Aug - 6 Sept.

as per my earlier post, 'start of the quarter' is actually last week of the previous quarter. last VIN storm for RWD was in end of June. build on 27/6 and 28/6, with VIN received by 2/7. Turandot is still a posibility. late Oct and early November would be correct for EDD, but I was referring to VIN arriving possibly last few days of Sep or early Oct.
Hi all. Picked up today at Mulgrave. Everything was great; friendly/knowledgeable/enthusiastic team of people. Process was so efficient I have to assume Tesla didn't come up with it.
Car is effing brilliant. When we test drove the LR it was city streets and 80 limit. We live a fair way out of the city. Burying the right foot and experiencing the pull to a hundred-and-something is just superb. I've driven fast cars and litre bikes and this thing is up there. Addictive and a bit silly, I'm hooked.
Forgot to take pics in the warehouse. There were loads in there all looking great.
I was surprised to see that others picking up looked a bit miserable, we couldn't stop smiling from joining the queue to driving out.
I know this annoys some in here, but I'm saying it anyway. Hang in there, these cars are worth every minute of the waiting.
We drove about 90 mins home, then out for lunch to celebrate, then running around to soccer and gymnastics and squeezed in some hooning with the kids. Picked up at 90%, just home at 29%!
Thanks for everything in here. It's a lot of frustration, but the end result is bloody good.
Good luck to the rest of you.

I suspect that was a once-off because they wanted to get a bunch of cars built before the extended factory shutdown.
In normal times Tesla are very concerned with delivering cars in the same quarter they are built, which is why they start building for export on the 1st day of the quarter, and only build for domestic customers on the last.
Which means the ship that your car is in hasn’t entered an Australian port.Mine still not showing yet edd is 1 sep to 14 sep
My EDD reduced yesterday to 1sep to 14th from 22nd, so no idea. When I see my car I will know it's arrived
Not necessarily. Paglia arrived at Port Kembla on Sunday. Apparently there was a delay unloading and apparently there are further delays getting them processed. None have appeared in RAV yet
Think that's the first time we've seen that (and probably due to the shutdown).
All those vehicles would have been listed as Inventory in Tesla's 2Q report which is what they try to avoid
The question of insurance has been asked previously in this thread, but I'm wondering if any folks from Victoria have any recent experience they would like to share with taking out cover here in Vic?
I've looked at Commbank, AAMI and RACV. Obviously the premium depends on options chosen, eg excess and options, but so far I'm finding around A$1.2k to A$1.3k. Mandatory options, I suggest, would be repairer of choice and some sort of windscreen/glass cover.
Thoughts/comments?

Spotted a blue M3 LR in the wild yesterday in Coburg with a CCA rego and the energy efficiency sticker. Wondered if it was someone on here! Looked amazing. Very polished. Must have been a recent pickup!
