Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
We are still waiting to pick up 2022 manufactured models. We have endured Shanghai lockdown in mid 2022 and now enduring Australian port lockdown (sort of). We will be picking up 2022 manufactured model in March (earliest) 2023. Let's not rub salt by reminding us.....

Turandot (best possible ship for me based on my build date) has unloaded cars on to the port on 8/2 (after weeks waiting outside the port). my EDD at that time was 9/2 to 20/2. it has changed since then twice and now showing 10/3 to 31/3. if your ship has still not docked, then (and I genuinely hope I am wrong), your EDD will slip a lot. There was a good post with a link to the article explaining the real bottleneck and reasons for these recent delays. the port must be still full of cars unloaded from Turandot and Crystal. until they clear space, other ships will keep waiting outside. and once unloaded from Prestige Ace, they will go through the same slow process of clearance and transport. Don't think cars from "Prestige Ace" will be delivered to customers in next few weeks. I would suggest re-calibrating your expectation to not get disappointed (I know I am).

Happy dance. Just got the call, delivery to house will occur tomorrow. It will be day 342. My first drive will be to MVR to get it registered. Woo Hoo.
Does your vin have the letter P in it? Curious if its a 2022 or 2023 model. Would be able to work it if its a reallocation thats already in Aus or definitely a newly built 2023 car.
Just received the text from Tesla for the Melbourne pickup, mine was on the Morning Crystal. Scheduled for Tuesday next week!
Got the same message. Scheduled for the afternoon. Do we start getting excited about now???
From memory, these codes change when there is a change to the battery or motor(s).
Maybe a minor motor revision or a different battery supplier?
Reports that the late 2023 Model 3 LR and P will have a 92kwh battery. The P will be putting out 393kw

This "journalist" doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.Reports that the late 2023 Model 3 LR will have a 92kwh battery. The P will be trimotor

The power output and battery capacity has not changed in today's RoVeR update.
I've attached PDF copies of the May 2022 Road Vehicle Desciptor, as well as today's update. Feel free to compare the two.
The only difference is they no longer talk about the transmission (pointless?) and apparently the P variant can now optionally come with the RWD suspension.

As I said "reports". I'm not familiar with the journo in question. What's his track record like for this kind of stuff?

No idea, but in this case he appears to have jumped the gun in the rush to be first to publish.
There was a reply to Veda's tweet about the RoVeR update speculating about a new "4th" model.
I knew this was already there last year when I was comparing Model 3 and Model Y power and battery capacities, which is why I realised pretty quickly nothing had changed.
But anyone looking at today's RoVeR update and comparing with power and battery ratings from elsewhere is going to add 1+1 and come up with 3.
Wouldn't be the first time we've seen such a thing. A bit like Paul Maric with the "scoop" on the ANCAP test "scandal"
Hi thanks for sharing. Just wondering if your car still came with the mobile universal charger with 10A and 15A plugs?Picked up yesterday from Chatswood, after waiting for an eternity to get my hands on this peice of beauty!
No hassle pickup, car was charged to 100%, didn't notice anything discernible apart from water bubbles/residue from the cleaning. The red is stunning, and it goes faster too
SA grasped at the amount of time I had to wait, and said I could have booked last week to collect the same spec today (they have stuff in the inventory).
Autopilot was calibrated within 20 mins. One hiccup with the autopilot was that it didn't recognise the drop in speed limit inside Northconnex, and the car did around 100-200 metres above the speed limit (it was 75 KMPH against the speed limit of 70 KMPH). Don't wanna kop a fine, but hey, there's stuff to learn (you should always have control).
Amazing sound system, baby seemed to love it too (didn't cry for most of the 80 KMs we drove yesterday). Hope that stays true
Is it worth the wait? The hell it is
Sending my love to all those in the waiting room, the queue, and those that have achieved driving nirvana after having taken delivery of this car
