Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Ah this is brilliant - thanks - are you gonna name your car Freddie?

I think I would

Actually I haven’t got a name yet. Freddie might be good.
Or do I call it Mercury given that it is Midnight Silver Metallic?

Hi all,
From reading all the above, it sounds like Tesla have made a bunch of random cars and put them on ships. They now have Polly and Manuel trying to figure out what cars are on the ships and who should get them? Based on this, Basil won't get his, even through he ordered in Feb because they didn't make enough blue/white. However Sybil will get one, when she ordered in April as they made heaps of white/black.

Please tell me this is not the case. Surely Tesla make the cars based on what people ordered and when... even most fish and chips shops can manage to do that.

ps. The names refer to what kind of show Tesla are running.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be clear logic for how they are doing this but what you have said does have some truth i think. Tesla are extremely frustrating in how they do things and OD isn't much of a factor anymore. I am a feb order and have seen that somebody who ordered 9 days after me from the same tesla branch and identical configuration has received an EDD and I haven't- cannot work that one out but hey it's Tesla. Early feb orders in syd have been ignored and late feb orders with same config have received EDDs.

I'm resigned to naming mine after Brian May - as my car MAY or MAY NOT come this year (if ever).

I'll get my coat.

Tesla reported earnings this morning and flagged it is tracking towards 50% average annual growth in deliveries over the coming years. Direct some of that to the Aussie market Elon!

Captain's log: day 257
So far, despite the prayers of the crew, the vind storm has only been a light breeze and our ship the FFS Tesla remains becalmed. The crew has been distracted by my direction to sing sea shanties, but I fear it's only a matter of time if we don't get some vind soon.

 

[j4rryd]

For Perth peeps with any shred of hope and optimism. Clover ace is inbound to freo now from Singapore.
Would think if there were any cars on it we'd see vin allocations very soon.

Once again, complete guesswork with no actual idea what I'm talking about

Elon is funny. Predicts Tesla will be worth more than Apple and Aramco combined.

"FFS Tesla". This is gold!

Whilst we wait for Tesla to sort their s&$# out, let's play a game.
What is the first song you'll crank in your new car and why?

Running on empty by James Brown or maybe Radar Love!

I want to be optimistic but...

Yeah honestly don't know why I'm letting hope creep back in

I know yesterday was really quiet on here for VINs but I did see one ACT vin on a Facebook group I was looking at.

From what I can see this week a small amount of VINs have been assigned in the afternoon and all in one city.

First Gold Coast, then Sydney, then Canberra. I’m hoping this means that Melbourne or Adelaide are next.

I know you meant to include Perth in there somewhere

If that's the same one i saw, it was a Y

I must be getting to excited then.

I’m just hoping the man on the ship finds his pencil and starts matching VINs again today

I got excited when i saw it too, but then tucked away in the comments, they confirmed it was a Y.

I hope he's back on deck (pun intended!) soon.

That was a MY ordered in June. I saw the post and got my hopes up for a second which were swiftly quashed. I can't believe we're 20 days into the quarter and all we've gotten is VINs for around 2 weeks' worth of orders for the GC and Sydney, and not even all of Sydney!

James May, if you drive slowly.

Everyone has to stop emailing their SA,
“Where’s MY Tesla” and start asking,
“Where’s M3 Tesla” coz you’re confusing them!

If we don't get VINs in the next few days is someone still going to do a stalk of the port and see if there is a bunch of model 3's lined up, I might head down there on Sunday afternoon anyway assuming it arrives on time.
