Even if there is no hope it makes us feel a bit better they they have to wait longer too

Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
It's not really possible to prioritise 3 orders given they are 2 separate production lines unless you mean that they're prioritising ship space?
With VEDA stating they still have 4 Weeks of VIN allocations to go. I have lessened my worry. I dont mind not receiving in Nov as long as its received in 2022. Be disappointing if it goes to 2023
As you wish
Captain's log: day 249
We have become becalmed in recent days, with the promise of a strong easterly VINd (see what I did there?) not eventuating and the sails remaining sullenly empty.
It seems that leaving the crew guessing about where we are headed has somehow led to wild speculation and outright fantasies. Several of the crew have had hallucinations of Tesla ships on the horizon, whilst others are threatening to jump overboard and swim to other EV ships. After a thorough investigation, it seems that SAs have been spreading rumours of an imminent VINd storm (even funnier the second time right?) stoking the crew's expectations.
I'm feeling the same. The time of the wait isn't the thing worrying me, it's the expiration date of my finance, and the fact that the interest rate will rise sharply if I need to reapply.
Maquarrie have told me they can settle the loan once an invoice has arrived. From what we've seen, invoices are usually 2-7 days after the VIN, which is 2 days after build date. I have finance approved until Jan 4th which gives Tesla the rest of October and the entire November and December to make my car and deliver an invoice.
If they can do that, I'll be happy.
If it is pushed into next year it will be a lot more expensive.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhgh, My ICE Subbie, forester turbo (2004) is up fo rego in mid Dec, notoriously inefficient (18 ltr/100 but a great drive) I cant sell it (only for parts) because it's been financially written off, It can only be re rego'd in my name. What's worse(?) is, suddenly it's become more fuel efficient (10 ltr/100) on the Syd - Jindabyne - Syd snow trip!
Looks like I'm up for rego, CTP and 3rd party, at least I'll get part of that back when I de register!

We've just switched over to a monthly registration on our ICE. A little bit more across the year doing it this way but don't end up paying for a bunch of rego we don't need

I did one better, sold my car in anticipation of the Tesla arriving by early November. I’m back to living the lockdown life.
Here’s one.
Insurance quotes for Australian M3?
Hi, Has anyone had any joy getting insurance quotes yet? My broker has come back with blanks so far. Granted it's only week 1 of ordering, but I was hoping to put the complete maths together for the novated lease option through work. Geoff

The production priorities are probably affected by the ship space availability, so if they prioritize Model 3 for the ship space for Australia, they just build more Model 3 for Australia and the Model Y production goes somewhere else with more shipping space available or to local deliveries. They will not produce large numbers to sit in the parking lot to wait for months at a time for the spot to become available on ships.
I suspect the comment about prioritizing 3 orders were more about having higher percentage of available ship space used for Model 3, as last month 70% of the space on AU ships went for Model Y and only 30% for Model 3, even though Model 3 has way longer waiting times.

But hey market was/is hot. I got 9K more than what I paid for the car. RAV4 hybrid cruiser. A Toyota dealer bought it back from me. They are selling for upwards of 60K for a used one because of the 18 month wait for a new order (Grass is not so “green” in the ICE world either).
I did the same last weekend. Lucky to be WFH, but I’m not sure how long my wife is going to last without a car
At 5 months of no car I cracked and bought a temp solution that my daughter will buy off me as her first car. I just couldn’t do it anymoreI did the same last weekend. Lucky to be WFH, but I’m not sure how long my wife is going to last without a car
@JacksonOD96…as in the vehicles are built but the VINs are not allocated; or, 4 week backlog of vehicles needing to be built and then allocated?
