Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[imstaceysdad]

I sent a text to Tesla today asking about having one of the current inventory cars assigned to my order. They responded "Hi, due to a system error there are vehicles listed in our inventory that are not actually available." If that's the case, why are they not fixing it? They have been showing as available for days. I feel like they just don't want to send them to North Queensland...

It's not true - not in VIC at least. I changed my spec and was assigned one of the available inventory listed almost immediately whilst on the phone to an SA. The first one I spoke to said the same thing you were told, however the second one I spoke to told me they are available for purchase.

The guy told me if you change your spec to match, you should get automatically assigned one from the inventory, but you also run the risk of not doing it in time and missing out.

Interesting. There is one in Vic and one in SA (possibly the same car?) in the same spec as my order (RWD, black, white interior, aero wheels). I have just changed my spec to match the one in Brisbane (RWD, MSM, white interior, sport wheels) to see if it gets matched to my order.

Fingers crossed!

Well the one in BNE is no longer available. I was working a night shift and noticed it disappeared between 3 and 5 am. I wonder if it has been assigned to my order or if another night worker has bought it...

EDD updated overnight.

They’ve realised they can’t deliver two days ago on the 30th.

However they’re feeling confident about tomorrow apparently! (Despite the ship still floating around off the east coast)

New EDD: Dec 3rd - 16th

(Dangerously close to when I’m out of the state 15-19)

Does the Payment Method on your profile ever get ticked? Have paid earlier this week and balance is 0 but no tick.

Call it the cynicism you get from being on this thread for many months, but does anyone else think it’s possible the account that joined TMC a few days ago just to tell us they picked up a car from the inventory after they first placed their order in October, could that account actually be a troll?

I wouldn’t follow the advice provided and just change my order spec. I’d at least have a chat to a Tesla SA first myself.

I didn't think anything of it but not sure I'd be taking such drastic action based on one comment either.
That post does seem out of step with what most others are saying. I know we don't rely on what the SAs tell us, but they seem to have been fairly accurate (well, in the vicinity of being somewhat right) lately.

My ODD was April but yeah I did do this.

Talked with the SA on 29th to confirm that there were LR cars in inventory for VIC. Then she reset my account and I changed spec from RWD to LR to match and in an hour or two was assigned the inventory car.

There is no way I would do this without the SA on the phone to confirm everything tho.

 

[Trick]

Sure am. I got

Was the trade in estimate any good? Near market value?

Close enough to market value based on Redbook.

Finally got the "accept trade in" and request to upload existing car's rego papers, submitted the rego and boom VIN is found by the Chrome extension

Maybe, but I don't see what they'd gain from it, and it's not the only time I've heard of inventory cars being assigned to existing orders after changing specs. I'm not real fussed about the exterior colour or wheels as long as I can get a RWD with white interior. I'm also not in a huge hurry to get the car (I only ordered in July so haven't been waiting anywhere near as long as others here) but if the opportunity arises to get one sooner I'll take it.

It’s not necessary to understand what a troll account gains in order to know that they exist on forums like TMC.

I don't doubt they exist, and have dealt with plenty on other forums over the years, but the usual aim of trolls is to provoke a negative emotional response. If they're trolling, they're not doing it well.

Not that I really need to prove myself, but here are screenshots of my initial orders EDD and my updated orders EDD after I changed spec. I'll even throw in a screenshot of the original orders email and the new one for you! No trolling or BS here

Thanks - appreciate the screenshots. Like I said, I'm quite cynical when it comes to this thread.

I find the apprentice Vedas, wannabee TelsaToms & junior SAs with firm views more amusing but overall has been a good laugh & informative
