Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Battery Boy]

My order just got updated with an EDD: September 21 - October 12. Order date was 26 June for an M3LR in the ACT.

Definitely on the same boat! lol

My order has been updated to a EDD: September 30 - October 21 and was able to locate a hidden VIN

I am having trouble finding the VIN. The Tesla VIN finder comes up and says the VIN has been assigned but when I go to the page source code I am unable to find it. What am I doing wrong?

My Model 3 delivery date has been changed from 27th Aug -Sep17 to Sep 8 - Sep 29. The delivery location has also changed from Chatswood to Alexandria

I went into the source code and searched for “insured” next to that was my VIN, now I just need to work out what boat it is coming in on

EDD changed to 11 Oct to 1 Nov for my M3P today. Got a VIN too, so looks like its on it's way!

Interesting. Do you have a rough idea how much the penalty is?

Its minor but its still there.

Maybe it opens doors for a M3P+ model in the future from Tesla or a third party semi endorsed thing like HSV and GM where:

1. Turf the Tesla brake rotors which are needlessly heavy and of a poor metallurgy/heat treatment being cast cheap junkish and spend a few thousand on proper two piece race rotors using high carbon more expensive alloys for the rotor and lightweight aluminium race style hats, spend time and money on heat treatment processing etc
2. Use say forged magnesium alloy race type wheels
3. Have some aero enhancements front, side, etc

So doing better rotors and better wheels all up youd easily be less mass regardless of a gigicast front and rear model 3 over the original body in white with all the stamped and welded and riveted bits. youd have faster acceleration, better cornering and the advantages of minor aero improvements too at speed.

Then like HSV, do maybe a GTSR type version where you ditch the 3D3 front drive unit which is all honesty a bit crappy compared to the higher output carbon fibre hairpin wonder found in the refreshed Model S. Then fit full dynamic active suspension with intelligent dynamics like the refreshed model S. Ohhhh Id be drooling at such a version yeah!

The model S is nice but its just too big and too heavy for a real track based sports car its more of a luxo barge grand tourer type car

Just got a text message and an email saying "your car has been allocated." Hidden VIN is showing up for me.

Thanks, found it. Maybe I was a bit trigger happy after receiving the notification.

Let me know if you can figure out what ship you are on. Think I might be on the same one.

Also looks like a bunch of inventory has dropped onto the website.

I am 12 Oct - 2 Nov for M3P. I have not found a hidden VIN though. Very strange how my dates are one day difference, where is your pickup location?

EDIT: found VIN after using tip above about searching for "insured".

I've not seen so much turn up in the ACT region in quite a while; 20 RWD and 19 LR.

My EDD just changed again today, now 29 Sept to 20 October! and it would be landing in port kembla.

There's also a chrome extension for cheking VIN if you cant be bothered looking through the website code.

Yep just saw the same date change on mine too. How do you know it will be landing in Port Kembla?

Did anyone else get the Registration Authorisation Form email and text yesterday saying confirm the registration details on page 2 of your final invoice? I've been looking for my final invoice but doesn't seem to be in my account yet.

So if people are getting VINs for late Oct/ early Nov deliveries, seems more that Tesla are simply adjusting the delivery timeframes to reflect port delays.

As a VIN generally means your car has been produced.

@Cocoboy I must have ordered after you. I ordered 5 Aug for VIC delivery and still have an EDD listed of July-Sept 2023.

Hey mate, yeah I cancelled my LR July 2 and my changed order for P went in around 10th I think.

The invoice or just the registration authorisation form? I can get into the registration form but haven’t seen an invoice.

The rego form only, havent seen an invoice other than what was emailed originally when I placed the order
