Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Jules22]

I saw one on YouTube the other day, an Aussie who got to talk about the new Model 3 like an expert.
He kept saying it was the Long Range, giving all the tech specs for the LR, but it was so obviously a RWD. Clueless.

He didn't mention the thunk either.

clearly not an expert if he didn't thunk the doors

No update from me either mate. If I were a betting man, I’d bet that no one in SA has their VIN/ETA other than the Tesla employees.

So yours still says TBD?

Mine says the same and was a model 3 pre-highland conversion.

Cool thanks, Ive emailed the SA to see if they can have a look to make sure everything is sweet. Ill report back if/when i hear.
Im actually near the airport today so could also swing past, but i dont want to become "that guy" haha

I wonder if people watching the videos for the first time even think that thunking the doors is something amazing?

Longer-range than the previous RWD, so he is on the right track, just a few stations behind.

Jan to March, which is what it’s said for me from the get go (ordered September 20).

 

[Koalified]

Still no VIN here and no change in ETA

 

[dronus]

Okies cool yup. Looks like that will be fairly accurate then, all things going well.

 

[Tesl3on]

I just saw someone on Facebook ordered a RWD on October 10 and they have a VIN + ETA of Jan 11 to Feb 1. They’re in Brisbane.

I’m sure the SA only knows as much as us, but here’s hoping

 

[Tesl3on]

PLENTY of people who ordered the LR on September 1 haven’t had any updates re VIN or ETA mate. VIN-less appears to be the vast majority at this stage.

i wonder what boat that order is on?

I was tempted to do a test drive just to ask this question and avoid being that guy haha

 

[Tesl3on]

i wonder what boat that order is on?

Yeah not sure. I have noticed there’s been two ETA windows (25/12-15/01 and 11/01-01/02).

Would have to be BA

 

[Murphster]

Yeah not sure. I have noticed there’s been two ETA windows (25/12-15/01 and 11/01-01/02).

Yeah, both are Bergamot Ace. It should arrive into Melbourne later today, hence the Melbourne crowd have a chance of a pre-Christmas delivery.
Gonna be two weeks before it gets into Brisbane.

But at least it means dates are looking good, I would expect to be able to pick mine up second week of January.

I reckon will be the same for Sydney and Adelaide all being well with Don Juan.

 

[SHAUN MENDEZ]

I reckon will be the same for Sydney and Adelaide all being well with Don Juan.

So what do we think is the likely VIN date for DJ arrival to Sydney on 2 Jan?

 

[dronus]

BA ahead of schedule

Hmm when did the guys who reported vin from BA hear about them? It wasn’t long out of port from memory

heard from Tesla on the 5th of December via email which detailed which boat it was on.
