Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
I took a quick look on the armacup schedule on pages 824.
If the Viking passama stops in Korea, it doesn't make sense as it's a LHD market. It will only make sense for the AU cars to get on the 5/10 ship(delayed) before shanghai switches to LHD. The next ship is 24/10

No you are incorrect, did you not see the post above from Priit: M3 are at 37% of total deliveries.
From the article at: VFACTS September 2022 new-car sales: Tesla Model Y ranks third, Toyota has rare slip
For September 2022
Tesla Model 3 (1610)
Tesla Model Y (4359)
The ship shortage does not appear to affect Model Y, its just for Model 3 for us.
Saw my first Y on the road today (actually saw two) and man, it is fugly. Way higher than I imagined...looks meh. Then saw a 3 a short while later and it looked so sporty and worth way more than its actually worth. So glad I went the 3 in the end.
I'll probably be waiting until March I reckon. Ordered first week of June for our LR.
It's not only making port to unload vehicles, there are manufacturers in Korea of RHD vehicles that are destined for Australia. Perhaps you've heard of Hyundai and Kia? No reason Teslas couldn't also be on that ship.
I've been driving a 17 year old kia.
Good point on loading, not just unloading, although it's a 50/50 chance.

Your percentage is a bit off:
Total September AU Model 3 + Y makes 5959 cars, of that 1610 is just under 27% of them were model 3 and 4359 cars would be just over 73% were model Y, as Tesla is saying that the Shanghai factory capacity is over 3000 cars a day of which 2000-2200 model Y-s and 1000-1200 Model 3-s, so the disproportionately larger quantity of Model Y-s coming here means just that because they also have factory in Berlin making Model Y for EU, they don't need to ship as many there and have more available for the rest of the world from Shanghai. As they still need to send Model 3 from Shanghai to EU and the rest of the world, that is where their manufacturing has the bigger bottleneck as lower capacity and larger market means longer wait times for us.
I still don't get, why they did not change to giga castings during factory upgrades 2 months ago, as they could have probably increased the production rate for Model 3 drastically with that.
2 weeks ago I started getting really excited again. I bought more accessories and started talking about it to everyone again. Now I'm just getting frustrated (again). It's the MY situation that's sh|tting me the most. Sending MY August orders before M3 February orders... come on!
I’m wondering, do I just end up buying a second hand now instead of waiting. March 12th order.

it's way too early to make that call. This quarter is only 5 days old and they haven't started building Aussie Model 3s yet (that we know of)
Patience dear friend - you've waited for over 200 days, what's another 14-28 to figure out what the qtr looks like.
