Yep on the same boat. It’s pretty damn close to docking at Brisbane! Got my VIN via sms today.Not sure if anybody else is in the same boat, but I received the message and email on 28/02 saying a vehicle had been assigned to me and what vessel it’s on. But haven’t received anything since. Seeing as though others got abit more info last week, when a few of us Sydney folks got the email - I decided messaged Tesla today to ask when I’d get the VIN, and they’ve responded with my VIN.
No additional paperwork to be completed and no further details in the Tesla app.
At this point, all I know is that my car is on the Viking Passama, due to arrive later in the week.

I wish! Sadly I placed the order on 31/12. But since receiving the message saying a vehicle had been assigned last week, got no further info so decided to ask Tesla about the VIN, to which they just messaged it to me in the thread.
You better get mentally ready for months of radio silence...
By the way, saw two Highlands today in Adelaide. One white, one grey.
Was it you driving between Mount Barker and Adelaide in Adelaide direction about an hour ago?I havent seen any in adelaide yet apart from mine
You'd know if it was by the trail of pubes
It would be like following one of those big trucks carrying those massive bales of hay into a headwindYou'd know if it was by the trail of pubes
Ive seen 4 or 5 in SE Melbourne so far.I havent seen any in adelaide yet apart from mine
Mine is the only dual motor ive seen here to date though... they have all been RWD so far

I'm currently trying to grasp an understanding of the delivery of Model 3s. Are these lengthy time frames due to the stop in production for this model because the car breached the tether anchor point issues in mid January?
Several things happened,
A new model was released, existing irders converted to highland.
The first batches of cars were left hand drive for europe so it was months before ours were built and shipped. They were all getting built in shanghai
At the same time a main supply of model y was delayed and turned around with stinkbugs.
Some ships came, but didnt have many model 3
Some more ships came but had the wrong cars for the destination ports
The bulk of the cars arrived, but the ports were conjesred and there was strike sction.
The cars started getting sent to DCs but were put on hold due to shelf-gate
Now the DCs are flooded and model 3 and Y cars are piling up in storage yards awaiting delivery.

Ahhh right gotcha! Any chance people that ordered in early March can get lucky and get it by May?
Maybe, but we are hoping the people who ordered their car last year get them first
Yeah, that's what I'm telling you. Our 2023 orders will be delayed so we will get the newest and most updated 2025 version of model 3, while you will be driving those old 2024 ones.
It’s possible. The next shipment for Sydney is VIKING PASSAMA which will arrive at Port Kembla at 8th March.

Haha that might be a stretch cause i only placed the order on 2nd March and don't even have my VIN!
I do hope the ones that ordered before me get theirs first!

The next likely ship is DON JUAN scheduled to leave Shanghai on March 10 and arriving at Brisbane around 24 March.

Oooo thanks for the heads up! Could be possible... don't these cars only take a couple of hours to build at the Gigafactory?
