Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
Where do you see it? I see 5 Feb - 8 Feb for FA.well according to the MIRRAT R&D all the cars from MA should be out of the docks by eod today, and for FA eod tomorrow, so maybe that'll be the trigger to start getting actual delivery dates
What I'm saying is that MC arrived, was scheduled to unload/depart and did so before FA.
All ships were delayed. Including FA.
If there us a quarantine issue, that's a different conversation.

Yeah I agree, my path to EV is very similar. And in fact even when I decided EV was the way to go, I absolutely hated Teslas and thought they would be the last car I would ever own. But after test drives of all the EVs available, my opinion completely reversed and now I couldn’t really see myself in anything else except for the new polestar.
As for the delivery, I think it’s just because it’s my first time ordering in this manner and you are right, I’ve never wanted a car to arrive so badly before. I just wish they could be more organised with their dates, and transparent about delays. Unfortunately I have put myself in a situation where a two week shift to the right for delivery estimate really does affect my situation.
But surely Tesla office would have known about the delays prior to today, why did my EDD not update until a day after the window started..
I dare say they will be. I test drove the long range today and the awesome SA who was one of the first to receive the new model 3 (exact same specs as mine) took me out the back to show me his car. There’s only a couple of people doing all the washing/polishing, and plenty of cars to get through.
There was a bloke replacing the parcel shelves, and the SA told me it only takes around 5 minutes to swap it out, which means if they have enough parcel shelves there shouldn’t really be any delays as you can’t wash & polish a car that quickly
I saw a freshly detailed stealth grey model 3 going on a tow truck and was told they must have found a stone chip etc, and that it was going to be touched up before delivery.
I also got to see each colour freshly washed/prepped for delivery, and they all looked bloody amazing! My wife even said if she knew the red looked that good in person she would have let me order one..
The long range was neck snappingly quick, and the sound system was incredible. The only things that were a bit off in this white example were the drivers door alignment (seen a few that are a bit wonky so it’s a bit of a worry), and the interior LED strip not lining up very well from the doors to the dash. Curious if any of this could be rectified after delivery or if it’s considered within spec.
For FA Melbourne and Adelaide people, here’s what I got from my little chit chat with old mate.
- The cars will be entered on to RAV when they are compliant. (But they are already entered, so..)
- We will get the booking text when our particular car is on the way to the DC. The keyword being DC, they may have other depots/yards we don’t know about. And remember they are transported on truck with a handful at a time.
- Cars are not trucked away in a particular order requested by them, it’s up to the logistics company
- He said expect a booking soon. Soon is relative, could be tomorrow, could be 23rd August 2029(it’s sooner than 8th July 2070)
Rest assured you’ll hear from me when I get the booking.

Earlier today my EDD changed FROM 4 Feb - 11 Mar TO 20 Feb - 27 Mar. Oh well, I thought.
Just received the 'please schedule delivery' text. I'm booked to collect on Thursday, 22 Feb (the second day available to me - am babysitting the grand-daughter on 21 Feb).
So that's exciting. And weird. Because the date I've just been offered is well within the EDD range that was in the app BEFORE the update this morning. I guess that my car got to the top of a list or the front of a queue somewhere. Or something. Don't really care. I've got a date!

Sadly no. We'll be in the i30. Tesla arrives the week following. Something to look forward to when we get back!
