Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Mattflow]

Just look at the reaction to the number of cars built but not delivered last quarter, and you'll understand why Tesla always tried to keep that number as low as possible.

"Tesla blames logistics problems after delivering fewer cars than forecast" - Financial Times
"Telsa [sic] slides on widening delivery and production gap, demand worries" - Yahoo Finance

And those are just the top hits from Google.

It's a ridiculous metric, but here we are.

I think also .. Have a look at demand/sales for Q1 and Q2 2022 and the SIGNIFICANT jump in sales around march/april 2022.. ('member oil prices and the ukraine war??--- I 'member)
I'm not making excuses for Tesla .. BUT sales pretty much doubled/tripled over those 2 months from previous months and then fell back again afterwards. There could be reasons, ie: working through backlog etc..

But I'm also a cynic and I'm an April order and I'm sick of waiting for my car .. .HURRY THE EFF UP TESLA!!!!

A lot of that is due to them switching to export early.

Tesla sets record for Australian EV deliveries in month of September

Tesla's deliveries to NSW in September set a new monthly record for any EV manufacturer ever in a single state or territory in Australia's history.

This article from the driven gives an idea to how much the lockdown put Tesla behind in China

Ok, M3 wait time literally takes longer than a baby to born.

OD 18/2 / NO VIN / NO UPDATE / NO EDD

So many one liners here….. but I’ll refrain.

Export where??… certainly not Oz

 

[JacksonOD96]

I thought we would at least have one VIN by now

Lots of Model Y on boats to Oz, Singapore, Japan and Europe

Ah, there you go… the impressive production runs of the more profitable Y.

We just need to be patient. Plenty of ships arriving in November that we know about. Once the Vfacts data for September comes out we will have a full quarter of data to look at. Keep in mind 2400 M3 we're delivered in August

I just visited Tesla, Chadstone, here in Melbourne. I thought it might be worth asking a question on possible delays for April RWD orders given the current status of older orders still waiting. For some reason, the guy called Cedric seemed to take immediate offence to the question and proceeded to answer rudely, shrugging shoulders and brushing me away. I imagine they're being asked this frequently but he said he is unaware of any delays to orders. I showed him the order list and he pretty much implied that they were not real. If he can't see the order numbers against them, they're not true... A piss poor experience if you ask me by someone who while I understand maybe asked the question frequently, could respond in a way that was with respect.

Maybe call the 1800 686 705 number online with your Tesla account to make a complaint

Just don't read the article in apple news from Popular mechanic... 20,000 vehicles under the sea..

How the Massive Cargo Ship Felicity Ace Sank, Taking $400 Million Worth of Exotic Supercars With It — Popular Mechanics

Now, before you take the 48-year-old marketing exec for a polar bear–saving hero, let’s be clear: Hirschauer wasn’t buying an electric car to reduce his carbon footprint. No, he craved the most visually and mechanically appealing EV he could buy, and the Taycan fit the bill. Even more exciting...

All about how the Felicity Ace sank in March with $400 million worth of Lambos, Bentleys, Porsche Taycans etc.. *Shudder*

but he said he is unaware of any delays to orders.

Not what else you were expecting.
Its been pretty widely established in this thread that the showroom staff don't have any additional insights into production or delivery.

Someone made a typo and all of our exports went to Austria

@moa999 at a minimum, I was expecting common respect.

Most of my interactions with tesla staff has always been positive. It's true they are more clueless then we are, but generally they are good folk dealing with situations outside their control. I suggest making that complaint.
