My roller coaster ride continues. I got pushed back to Dec 22 - Jan 23 along with everyone else, but then today when I checked the app it says 22 Nov - 6 Dec. Still no VIN.

Ordered in Melbourne on 19/2/22 – for M3 RWD White/Black
I think that is for the store + supercharging. Payment method for the car itself is different.
That's promising to see for a Feb order. Were you asked to accept the Tesla Vision thing?
I thought I read that you could pay via credit card (in lots of instalments) but it attracts a surcharge. There are previous posts about this a few weeks back.
Not this time, because I had already done it. I had got the narrower window some time last month (with the Tesla Vision prompt), that was then retracted
Ah okay. Fingers crossed it's a real EDD this time for you.
Oh sorry, I get it now. I don't see any link for payment method for the car itself - does this only appear once a VIN is assigned? Thanks.
Yeah, I saw that you can pay via CC at the showroom with a 1.5% surcharge. Good if you don't have a monthly points cap and your points are worth more than the surcharge.
Yeah, it doesn't make sense for me at the 32.5% bracket now. I feel that their interest must be insanely high, since they don't outright say what it is. Thankfully I still have my Macquarie 2.99%.
Still Feb orders to be fulfilled and a June order is ready to go this year but it’s too early for them lol, what sick joke is this Tesla. 
I picked up my test vehicle about 6pm and returned at about 8am, so if you ask the right questions it might be possible.
Just under where it says "prepare for delivery", it should say delivery information, trade in, etc. The last seciton is payment method with 3 options (cash, operational lease and finance lease)
Ours did the same as we changed from the original finance we had. Call them and they'll sort it
The only place I can see "prepare for delivery" is in the popup window when I click on "Overview". But nothing clickable and no options for payment method.

Wow, why is Oz so far behind? Over in the NZ forum rwd orders that had an original EDD of Feb-Mar 2023 are being pulled forward into Dec 2022 deliveries.Still Feb orders to be fulfilled and a June order is ready to go this year but it’s too early for them lol, what sick joke is this Tesla.
Is it shipping that's the problem for Australia?
In the first page after you select your car, there should be 4 options (delivery location, trade in, registration and payment method). If you click on the plus next to payment method, you should get the three options for payment (cash, operational lease and finance lease).

Well the Model Y-s dont seem to have that shipping problem, so its most likely planning side on Tesla team, they either dont make enough of them or they book most of their shipping capacity for Model Y-s and dont have enough availability left over for Model 3-s.
