Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
Checked my app this morning and it took AGES to load. Was sat there waiting for it to pop up asking me to accept Tesla vision. Unfortunately it was just being slow today. Fingers crossed for a VIN in the coming week!
Read back through this forum and you'll get an idea very quickly
The server was probably just overloaded with all of our obsessive refreshing!
I know I have refreshed more as we go into the new quarter!

Plus, I in no way consider myself a “privileged“ person, not in Australian terms. The car I bought is not $70K+ it’s under $60K and these days by no means an overly expensive car. It’s a problem with the wait when you see later orders already being driven around, and I’m guessing other people awaiting cars by other manufacturers would also be frustrated in the same situation.

No delivery issues with domestic orders though….. down to a 7 day wait apparently. They could easily “fill our backlog” if they wanted to.
Probably depending on their situation. My current car is close to 100k odometer and because it was made in Germany the value depreciates pretty quickly when the mileage becomes 6 figures. Tesla offered me a good price for trade-in in March, which they would only honour for 3 months. I requested a refresh and they refused. They told me to wait until the VIN has been assigned. Since March, I have added about 12k onto my mileage.
Therefore I am pretty anxious now. Otherwise, I probably won't even be on this forum.

You’re not the only one in that particular vessel…(I didn’t want to say ship…oh! Da**it)
Unfortunately it’s not that simple, you need to book spots on the boats and Tesla are competing for spots with a bunch of other companies plus these bookings are done well in advance….logistics are a bit different for the local market.
Again the story comes back to Model Y. Heaps of spots for the Y but not the less loved child 3. There's no other explanation...

Still not sure why instead of reducing wait times in other countries, Tesla can't stay on Australian production for longer until the backlog is cleared. Then once this is done, THEN start reducing wait times in other countries. If Shanghai can reduce wait times, they have excess capacity so put that to work for Aus first. No one is going to complain about wait times as long as EDDs are met. I'm pretty sure Chinese customers will put up with a month wait time. Reducing them down to 1 week and leaving Aus at 9 months is just nuts, especially when the Aus backlog could probably be cleared with an extra week of production.

Totally agreed, a whole backlog of Australian orders will not take them more than a few days of production to clear when they make over 1000 Model 3 per day, so it would not push local orders there by a month, it would be closer to pushing them back by a few days to a week, though there is no point for them to produce a few thousand to sit on the lot there unless they have ship capacity booked, so they can produce and roll them on to ships shortly after.
Yes it really shows that Telsa doesnt have its best business foot forward. They just have a product people want! Its the lack of communication and not even any sort of apology for misleading us during the sales period.
Hi
