Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[dmc44]

I feel you. Same March order date but nothing. How the heck a May order get preference?

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue in Adelaide!

Ordered mid March 2022, white/black. Got nothing. Not even a delivery date.

You need to watch existing inventory like a hawk. I snagged a white/black M3 a bit over a month ago.

What's the difference between the "New South Wales Incentive" and "New South Wales Gov. EV Rebate" ?
Is the "incentive" something new? Or are Tesla just incorrectly listing something that doesn't exist (and can we take advantage of it? )

Order placed 13th May EDD Dec 2022 - Jan 2023. I'm not holding my breath that this will be met. Initial time frame was 6-9 months
M3/LR/Blue/Black Int/18" wheels

Oh good luck! Hope you get it this month! I’ll just be happy for a EDD status change on my account.

That does appear like a weird bug in their price break down. If you look at the price after savings it only counted the 3000$ incentive/rebate once. Better luck next time?

Well over half are white, including mine.

How was the quality? Any issues with the paint? Have heard many people picking cars up having defects.

Tesla price reductions to end in US on April 1 apparently?

Air con on face of driver a bit poor TBH but will fuss around with it to improve.

In my experience, the air con will keep the cabin cool, but can't really blast you in the face with cool air if that's what you like.

Heaps of people moving through this thread for months (myself included) and nearly everyone has said they are exceptionally happy with the car and there is no defects.

I'm one month into ownership and almost 1000km done. Not a single defect. Family and friends who get in the car are amazed, and say it's exceptionally more premium than they thought.

There was Tesla carrying ship in Adelaide last week. I assume there are a bunch of Teslas now sitting at Outer Harbor. Anyone have a photo? I ordered a LR White Body / Black Interior 18" on May 29th 2022. Still showing 9-12 months from order date.

 

[RodDavies]

I hope you all love your shiny new cars as much as I do. My M3LR is like a BMW M3 without all the issues. Seriously even if I won the lottery I'd probably just stick with the model 3, but that's just me. Had mine since March 2021 from China. Zero fit, finish and quality issues.

The US price reductions were all about taking advantage of the tax credit apparently, which is why we haven't seen a similar level of price drop here

I feel for you but fwiw the updates are of minimal value. We were mid January to early feb then got an update from Tesla saying it’s getting close- which is Tesla speak for “we’ve delayed it to feb sometime“. We have a vin but checking the molace/roro website fails to get a hit, which doesn’t give me confidence in the delivery window

The current incentive ends on that day with the permanent incentive starting April 1st which takes into account where the battery is manufactured as well as vehicle.
