Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[blubbernator]

Today is the day! 1 hour 8 minutes

I got a call from an SA yesterday asking when I was going to pay the final part of my invoice lol I feel very hurried to pay even though I don't have a delivery date locked in yet.

That's odd, i wouldn't pay without a locked in delivery date...

 

[TE5L4]

Same two for me although I haven't called my current insurer yet

Yep Allianz worked out cheapest for me with glass cover and hire car.

 

[TE5L4]

Also, it is showing in the invoice 'Standard Plates' for NSW would these be the white/black or ugly yellow plates?

If the cost is $115 for plates they are the black and white ones, I asked the SA that when my invoice came in, said the yellow ones are $40 or so can't remember exact amount

I've done many quotes and narrowed it down, however I'll only commit to insurance when I have a delivery date.

At the moment my front runners are Rollin and Allianz.

Allianz was the best for me too. $97 per month for any driver, no excess for glass, unlimited hire car for all insured events, choice of repairer and agreed value.

Youi was by far the worst at $348 per month ($4,176 per annum!) and they charge a $50 excess for glass, hire car only for theft, listed drivers only, no choice of repairer and market value.

CGU don't insure Teslas.

Definitely worth spending half an hour doing a bunch of online quotes to see who can offer you the best deal.

Woo I have movement! Order went from Feb-May to TBD. Hope it doesn't go to May-Aug

Looks like mine got the same treatment. Went overnight from Feb-May 2023 to TBD. Also LR and Aug 2022 order. I hope that they move mine back into that Feb-May window as I will not be able to pick it up until second half of Jan earliest and probably easiest for me would be in the window they originally gave me. I could handle a few months after that window, but no more than 2 weeks before.

I'm happy for anytime. just need organisation of wheels etc ... needs 2 weeks

Several people who had dates moved from Feb-May back into December were able to call and have their car pushed back - it seems that if the date they move you to is earlier than the original window you had, you can do that.

Yea, thats also what my SA said, if they assign me one before my EDD, I can ask to be pushed into EDD, however I dont have a hidden or otherwise VIN yet and TBD really does not mean there is a car ready, so I will hold my horses until there is more movement and they assign me a VIN or date range that is not suitable for me before I ask them to change anything. They might assign me a date range that would work fine for me

 

[Waiting in WA]

I was really hoping for Liberty Ace ETA 14 Dec, WA has just been assigned Primrose Ace ETA 28 Dec my EDD is 30-31 Dec which is looking very doubtful.

Does anyone know what TBD means, is it TO BE DELIVERED or TO BE DETERMINED?

Any idea would be great please. I’m paranoid my order may get canceled for some insane mistake! or issue.

 

[Dany]

The same happened to me. Chatswood to Alexandria without prompting.

RWD, White/White, standard wheels.
OD: 22 Jul 2022
EDD: December 15 - 29
Build Date: 27 Nov 2022
VIN: assigned, in the rego paperwork
Final Invoice: has been issued

From my perspective, the unprompted change to Alexandria could be a good thing. That could mean Tesla wants to expedite the delivery process, by not giving customers the chance to choose pickup location. I imagine they would want to clock in as many "units delivered" as possible before the quarter ends in 31 Dec.... for earnings calls etc.

I spoke to my sa regarding that he said chatswood is at full capacity that why they had to move pickup location to alexandria to able to meet the target of delivering by end of december.

Same bro. My EDD is TBD as well since this morning (or overnight). Not sure what to expect from this.

I’m interpreting it as “hmmm. Can I get back to you on that??…”

To be decided? ... To be disappointed

 

[cafz]

It's a pretty standard TLA for To Be Determined.

In this case I think all the TBDs mean something like: There's a whole bunch of cars coming in on ships, a whole bunch of orders, and a bunch of cancellations as well - time to get out the really big whiteboard and figure out how to assign all these.

 

[blubbernator]

There she is!

There was a hiccup that delayed my delivery for about 30mins (make sure your the payment is ticked in your account before you take delivery, even if the balance has been saying 0 for a week...)

Paint is good, panel gaps excellent. Should come out beautifully after professional care and being wrapped in Stealth PPF. Does have USS, a real horn, and probably old cameras.

It's been quite the journey, but all worth it!

This

I think they've given up assigning them to people right now and they've gone with the good old.

Let's just assign them as we get them now

 

[Vedaprime]

Can we please not do this again?

I agree. Please let's not go down this rabbit hole again. Let's focus on the cars coming in. I have asked anyone who happens to be part of what I do to not participate in any flame wars on here as it will breach what I do rules. It helps nobody,
