My exact build is on existing inventory for NSW. Tried to change it, got told to not bother because my car could be here before that one.There's a hellofalotta-cars in inventory for NSW right now.
Just not mine

Hi all, my order is STILL saying march/April. I'm losing faith haha, no sign of VIN yet. I've messaged Tesla who say that there are currently no delays and everything is on track.
We are currently operating on one vehicle which is painful. Would this delivery date suggest that my car is already on a ship or in the country. I've tried to do the hidden VIN search but can't find anything.

What’s your state/spec?
It does seem unusual that it doesn’t say TBD or a date range by now. The April/May orders are starting to roll-in.
I’ve read sometimes that novated leases [and/or] trade-ins cause an unhappy path. Does that apply to you?
Qld, long range white and white.
Novate lease yes, however it's all signed, approved and awaiting the vehicle, so I can't envisage that causing any delays.
Not in WA. Nothing rolling in here at all. I’ve asked for a trade. No movement there either.
Std white/black/ RWD for me.
Only ordered April 4 mind you.
From the experience of others who are some distance from a Tesla delivery centre, the process is a little different as they have to deliver your vehicle on a truck from Brisbane to Mackay.
You may get a TBD until quite close to your delivery.
As my delivery date approaches, did any of you current owners take some form of checklist to your delivery appointment? Did you just accept the car then lodge a service request for any issues found in the first 1000km?
It's difficult to work out how long they give you to go over the car at delivery and things like that. I guess it probably depends on location as well.

I used Tesla Prep late last year when picking up a Tesla on behalf of someone else.
For my own I had a mate with excellent attention to detail go over the car's exterior while I focused on the interior
As long or as short as you want. They will get you to "accept delivery" via your mobile, then either take you to your car or tell you where it's parked.
You can then spend as long as you need going over the car, they will leave you alone unless you have any questions. Either flag down one of the many staff standing around or switch on the hazard lights and they will come to you.
I spent an hour going over the car I was picking up for someone else, and about 30 minutes on mine.
Shouldn’t you be permitted to look over the car BEFORE having to accept delivery? I’ve read others have refused the car because of faults. How is that possible if you’ve accepted delivery?

You would think so, but like anything Tesla logic doesn't always enter into it.
Hi,
I recently picked up my car. They give you all the time in the world to look over the car, so there is no rush.
The team at Tesla were also great. I had a few marks on mine, so they went and got some cleaner and cloth to wipe it down.
I've heard of people picking up faults within the first week, once they reported it via the app, it was fixed for free. I haven't have to use it, so can't tell you if this is true or false.
Moving quicker now! Have just received the final invoice with the VIN and build date of 21 April!
Yes, I have the same build date. My spec is LR/Black/White/18".
Interested to see what hardware we get. Fairly sure we won't get a UMC, but will we get the boombox or USS?
