Sign up to Veda. Worth it

I'm finding Veda worthwhile as well. Given some good info on shipping that wasn't available elsewhere (or at least, hard to separate the wheat from the chaff). YMMV.

I received my mobile connector today. It came with a CCS Combo 2 adapter, didn’t think that was supposed to be included?

I've seen a few people who bought the mobile connector separately say that. It's weird because that adapter's only useful for Model S or Model X that were either built after June 2016 (in which case the adapter came with the car) or that have paid for the internal charging hardware to be upgraded (in which case the adapter came with the upgrade)

You could use it as a Christmas tree ornament, I guess.

Yep same here...EDD updated this morning to 3 Dec to 16 Dec.

In other news, apprantly 100% of Tesla's deliveries always falls withing their EDD estimates.

lol what’s the saying - a broken clock is right 100% of the time - if you just sit there changing it every minute!

Anyone looking at trading their car, I recommend trying Dutton Group. They just bought my Camry from interstate for more than I paid for it over two years ago. Made a tidy little $10 profit Should have clear funds by Tuesday ready to send on to Tesla for my Friday deadline. It's all getting real now.

Don’t spend all your profit in one place

I just sold my motorcycle privately.
Paid $4,400 in 2017 and sold it last weekend for $6,000

FYI for SA orders. Now there is a delivery centre, they are able to supply premium plates for an extra $180 as opposed to the regular SA plates

Recieved my VIN and build date, looks like it was built on the 28/11 with the vin assigned in the factory.

No records of the car on roro yet so still pending to be shipped. Looking like the JAN order date is sticking.

That's interesting.
My OD 17/3
Same spec. Also Melb.
Build date the same - 28/11.
My EDD is 16-29 Dec.
Surely they will be on the same boat?!

God I hope so no update on my account yet. I will be out of country in Jan so idea if it is earlier.

I was thinking, maybe the Armacup schedule has atypo, could it really take 8 days for Viking Passama to go from Brisbane to Port Kembla and only 4 to Melbourne?

Clutching at straws I know but find it hard to fathom why it changed from 18/12 to 22/12 for Port Kembla, but still at 14/12 in Brisbane....maybe going via Norfolk Island

How do you check which ship your vehicle is assigned to?

 

[Snoopy1]

People know a lot more than I, but my build date is 22/11 and so on the armacup.com vehicle schedule..it could only be one ship that left Shanghai after that build date, so just assuming it is on it

Others know a lot more than I do ,

 

[choppa]

Are you sure it’s fixed loan?

Yes

I think I might be reading to much into the build day. In fact it seems the build 'day' in the invoice aligns with the VIN allocation. I dont think it is actually the day the car was built! That could have been days before... I actually got a VIN in my Tesla account only hours after what my invoice is saying is the build day (25 November). My car could have actually have been on the ship at this time! Hoping my theory is right .. because if it is, then we could very well get our car within the given EDD of 15 DEC - 29th DEC.

Passama due to Brisbane 16/12 according to Marine Traffic after its Korean holiday

Build date is exactly that. The date the car is finished being built. VIN assignments vary. VINs are assigned to the car prior to it being manufactured so in another system is may even be matched to you prior to manufacture. Most VIN assignments in this latest storm were around the 25th so you may have just got lucky that it was assigned the same day it was made.

Anyone ordered a RWD with 19" wheels and white interior and a colour other than white? Did you have to wait longer than more of the vanilla RWDs?

Vins are created first. Vin assignments occur after the car is built.

What about hidden VIN's, if I have a hidden VIN on my Tesla page when using the chrome extension, but no official VIN given. Does that mean the car has been built yet?

How long does it usually take to receive a VIN and invoice after you get notified that a vehicle has been assigned to you?


Thanks
