Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Apparently you can request Leaseplan to attach it via the Tesla B2B portal they use, though I’ve requested it and had no response. Mine isn’t exactly a novated lease though, my employer has an unusual salary sacrifice scheme where they remain the vehicle owner.

Afternoon all. This may be known info but I'll share it anyway. There are still M3s in most variants in existing inventory in Sydney. Also some in QLD on the GC and Brisbane. So, if you're looking for a vehicle quickly and you don't mind colour etc, there are options out there.

There's just white, and a performance silver in Sydney

QLD and Gold Coast ones in inventory are only Performance variants. Nothing under 90k price.

Looks like a few have gone. But still white in a few variations in RWD + Long Range. Depends on whether people want a different colour I guess.

They also may have multiple vehicles in the same spec available. If they have say 5 white rwd in stock they just have the one advertisement.

Yup, so if you want white and are happy with base variant, help yourself until they're gone.

Also, are there any second hand forums on here? Connecting people who want a M3 with those that might be wanting to trade in?

…so, options, then?!?!?

They did actually respond - but basically said I'll need to use my work email address - no further details.

If anyone who is waiting for a car wants to buy my Tessories slim line speedometer please DM me. I have a sale thread setup but gets lost given it is an international forum. Still in box, haven't taken it out. Cheers

What made you change your mind and not install?

Bought it for my partner in case she didn't like looking at the main screen but wasn't needed.

Still a great looking setup and I'm sure some people would prefer to have it

Got a phone call today, someone wasn't able to complete the transaction for the same spec Model 3 as I ordered, so if I could take it next week I could have it. Unbelievably good luck. Funny enough at the time I was thinking about the potential Model 3 refresh coming up, and I figured I'm probably going to be driving this car for up to 20 years (this car is replacing my 1998 Camry). A slight difference in the nose or tail or something isn't going to matter much over that timespan.

Drove past the collection point at Hume, ACT today for a sticky beak. Saw about 8 cars sitting there, hopefully all going to lucky new owners!

Ordered on 10 Jan 2023 and haven't heard a thing since. I'm prepared for the long delays

Kindest regards,
Ballhair

FYI. I dropped my M3LR2021MiC for warranty service earlier today at Mulgrave Melbourne. There were at least 20 vehicles (mixture of 3&Y) inside the delivery area ready for pickup at 8.30am. My service assistant stated they were delivering about 60 per day now down from 100 per day. Outside were parked about 60 vehicles (3&Y) in various states of preparation presumably before they go into the delivery area.

Picking mine up tomorrow in Port Melbourne, got the call this morning that they found a scratch on the bumper. I asked for a photo, looks like its small 1cm long but too deep to buff out. Options are to wait another 7/10 days to pick it up repaired, or pick up tomorrow and schedule SC appointment where they will fix it to be as new with a loaner vehicle whilst they fix it. Opted for the second option (don't have a car now), but not feeling too great about it... Also there will be no compensation for the inconvenience, any thoughts on that? I suppose the only good thing is that the bumper, which I wasn't on planning to PPF, will have heaps more layers of paint to protect it!

I got allocated a VIN this evening - November 14th order, M3 RWD in White with 19" wheels
