Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[BegaPride]

I've had a few long waits in the last couple of years.

Most new caravans are now over 24 month wait

Indeed. As we know, global logistics and supply chain etc has been tipped upside down the last couple of years, and many sectors impacted (primarily tech and cars - and caravans).

I was just trying to cast my mind back to before-Covid times of when I have ever waited 9-10 months for delivery of an order.

Just got my Tesla Vision prompt and can see hidden VIN. ACT owner, order date of 20/5/2022, white RWD. I have just cancelled the order though, so good news for someone else who can jump up the queue earlier.

(To those horrified that I cancelled, I already own a Model 3 and this was going to be a replacement, but the changeover costs were getting beyond what made sense to me, so hanging on to my existing one).

Is anyone stuck on TBD delivery after accepting Tesla vision? I did have a EDD Dec - Jan but now it has changed.

Thank you

Yes, accepted Tesla vision on Friday and now my EDD is TBD when it was Dec - Jan previously

Is there a more appropriate AU thread to ask annoying questions around Type 2 to 2 cables etc etc?
I am thinking 7 Metres / 22kW for good length and speed.

Several.

Type 2 BYO Cable Model3 seems like a decent choice.

I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing.

I ordered prior to a couple of people here who all have delivery dates, only exception is I ordered white seats. Maybe we are being punished for not ordering the basic build. Seems like a Tesla thing to do.

Has anyone recieved their invoices for the new vins on Friday

Not yet

Hopefully some love for VIC RWDs from March today!! Pretty please!

Does https://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount/oxp-bff-api/user-orders still work? It doesn't show VIN.

I tried the Vin Finder chrome extension, and that one doesn't report any VIN either. I received the Vision prompt a couple of days ago.

I also don't see anything apart from "Order Agreement" in the Documents section on the Tesla website.

Hi, I have EDD 16 Dec - 31 Dec. How do you find Hidden VIN?

Being punished is a ridiculous statement to make. If you order a rare spec less vehicles are made thus the wait is longer.

I still cannot see an invoice either. Hopefully today..

It all seems pretty random. I ordered white interior & my order is ahead of other who ordered before me. Yeah their order queue & communication could def use some improvement!

Does https://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount/oxp-bff-api/user-orders still work?

Not anymore

Sorry it was an email not a text. But it looks super legit. So I'm not sure.

You can call Tesla and have them confirm the BSB & Account number over the phone. Call using the number on their web site and not per the email.
It's the only way to be sure!

Just popped over for lunch to Todd Rd where the vehicle transporters leave the Mirrat terminal in Melbourne. I could only see Toyotas on the back of trucks. A lot of them lined up for departure but none with Teslas on the back.

Perhaps some interesting stats from the spreadsheet that might put this waiting game into context.

Breaking down the dates VINs are received, the average number of days from order date to VIN date:

2022 Q2 (Apr to Jun inclusive): 163 days
- April: 97 days (sample size of 1)
- May: 195 days (sample size of 1)
- June: 167.2 days
2022 Q3 (Jul to Sep inclusive): 175.8 days
- July: 175.5 days
- August: 176.13 days
- September: 186 days (sample size of 1)
2022 Q4 so far (Oct to Nov inclusive): 244 days
- October: 237 days
- November: 250 days

So sadly the trend seems to only be going upwards still. It'll be interesting to see if this number reduces over the coming months over the Christmas break.

 

[Missimpatient]

Finally some communication. An email from Tesla to say: a M3 has been assigned to my order, they are operating through the holiday period, they anticipate my delivery to occur between mid Dec and mid Jan, and I will receive a text closer to the EDD showing in my account to schedule my Express Delivery appointment.

Account still shows EDD 19-31 Dec. Still no invoice.

Sorry if it’s already been answered but does that chrome extension work I’ve seen mentioned?

If you order a rare spec less vehicles are made thus the wait is longer.

The wait is not necessarily longer, it'll just have more variance, because you're in a smaller bucket.
