Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Kenthecar]

My EDD just updated to Jan 16 - Feb 6 despite people in ADL getting delivery sms for next week. It'll probably be a year by the time I get it!

Really sorry to hear that SpicySol. Hang in there.

I think a few of us just got lucky with 2022 pick ups. I booked a time within the minute from the text knowing how lucky I was.

I'll just tick over 10 months myself gaining entry into the exclusive 300 days club....so long as there are no last minute hiccups.

Delay, delay delay will continue - I can't go into it without breaching the terms of what I do, and you all know what I do.

I have a "your vehicle is approaching" sms with a window of mid dec - mid jan (Brisbane).

Do you think this is possible? I may as well also sign up to your tracking while I am at it haha.

 

[DudeWhereMyCar]

We should all complain to Tesla and ask for free supercharging for each month we had to wait from order date to delivery? Seems fair i say. most of us are in the 9-10 months so 9-10 months of free supercharging should be some form of compensation.

I wonder if this may have something to do with it

Tesla to shorten Shanghai shifts, delay hiring - Bloomberg News

Tesla Inc will shorten shift hours at its Shanghai factory and has delayed on-boarding of new staff at its most productive plant, according to a report by Bloomberg News, sending shares down about 2% on Thursday.

Or perhaps even this

Model Y and Model 3 orders skyrocket in Tesla's new frontier market

Tesla's newest right hand drive market has already experienced strong sales, and it offers a Model Y variant not yet available in Australia.

I also don't think Tesla views Australia as a priority.

Unbelievable. It makes furious seeing this. If my order is pushed to Feb next year, I will sell it along with all accessories I bought half year ago, yes you heard me right I was stupid enough bought everything that early. We Feb orders have been pushed a few times played like fool I cannot stand one more time, and this time will really hurt. Last straw. FFS.

 

[JustinFernleaf]

For those awaiting the Viking Passama in Brisbane, it's just off the Sunshine Coast now and should dock this afternoon. I'm still hoping that it has my car on it!

Yes, saw what I thought might be it coming down from buderim. Let's hope they're on this..

You are right and I agree Dude, but the reality is they don't care one crumpet about the wait, the buyer or the experience - demand is way too high, and the Feb price point would possibly be seen as some form of compo.

Can't believe the timing the poor Adelaide crew are now seeing - where is the or button?

Start getting your ad listings ready. Seems like everyone is delayed with more to come according to Veda.

Demand is not as high anymore plus the upgraded supply capacity made the demand supply ratio even lower. Particularly for LHD for example the lead time for China from order to pickup was ONE week and reportedly many cars are in the inventory, the competition is fierce there thus Tesla decreased the price along with insurance incentive few times in a row recently trying to pick up some sales.

And don’t forget tesla Shanghai only did export production in the first half quarter for a long time, this quarter is the only exception AFAIK.

All in all, demand is low then finally Tesla have to switch to RHD production for poor us. Otherwise no RHD cars were build after 15th Nov 2022 until Jan 2023.

OD 17/3. BUILD 28/11. Melb.
For the last 10 days I have been EDD "TBA".

Tonight, for the first time, my VIN came up in:

Car History Check & Vehicle Report | CarHistory | CarHistory

www.carhistory.com.au

BUT nothing comes up on the VicRoads Vin search.

I guess that means something but not sure precisely what. Any ideas?

As long as your car is on a ship it's out of Tesla's hands

Nah if it really happens I will have 3 months to draft the ad don’t want to touch it now.
Realised I have already spend way too much time and unnecessary emotion on this thing from anxious to angry to excited and now back to angry seeing people been delayed again and potentially me. Might need to stay away for a bit and just wait for whatever tesla tells me.

The thing is we even don’t know if that’s the case due to NO communication. I know there is a paid service to reveal more information but as a customer I would expect the seller does their job competently rather than requiring me to get info by myself.
Other car companies don’t inform the transit information either but they do call you and apologise for the delay not just expecting you to refresh the bloody APP 100 times a day then bam! Surprise! Delayed again!

I'll just spoil it for you. For anyone in nsw who's car is on a ship, forget pre Xmas delivery. This is guaranteed.

A lucky few will get it in thr last week of December with bulk in January, that's all I can say without breaking any rules of my subscription services.

12 months free premium connectivity would even soothe the burn

Thanks mate. That really eases the worry much appreciated.

I think that is all the punters are looking for... just a small acknowledgement of a pain of a year for the Q1/Feb order fee payer-waiters and there is some level of empathy and customer focus. But I don't see it happening.
Again: first world issues, agree that once it's on a boat or at port, that is not Tesla controlled, but they could improve comms if they wanted to focus on it.
Crazy we have gone from app refresh overload to check for VIN progress, to now I don't want to look as I know EDD will shift out again. My 16-30 Dec is next to nil hope - I get it

 

[NickM3180222]

Finally nailed it for DD 22Dec

 

[Jack Y]

Thanks mate. That really eases the worry much appreciated.

Just got my appointment to pick up in Adelaide on January 12

 

[Missimpatient]

For those that are getting their pick up appointments, are finding out in the app first (i.e. obsessively refreshing it) or via text/email from Tesla?
