- Start date
G'day all!

Thought I'd check in.

- Ordered 5 Mar (White M3 LR, 18" Photons, black interior)
- VIN assigned and informed car was on the Orchid Ace
- Build date 23 Feb
- MOLACE showing the Orchid Ace due at Port Kembla 7 April, but the ship has gone back to Shanghai from Singapore. Keen to learn how often this happens and if it's likely to come back to Australia directly or stop again via Singapore
- I seem very lucky so far, I've read some folks who ordered mid-December also have their cars on this ship
- The VIN is not visible through the Tesla app, only through the Invoice and rego paperwork
- No due date in the app
I couldn't see how to edit my post, just including the date for VIN assignment (within 24hrs of ordering)

I remember a year or so ago visiting this forum and being amused that you folks would track ships, now here I am

Hi All -
I'm a newbie here. I just ordered one RWD / Ultra Red / 18" Photon Wheels / Black Interior ... on 2nd March. What should my realistic expectations be in terms of receiving a VIN and the actual car? Just so that I don't look at my app several times a day...
Thanks in advance

Yeah mate, 13km of that 19 was downhill. Sweet as. I plugged the destination in to the navigation and it told me I'd arrive with more SOC than I had at the time. I thought it was an error and I didn't have any cell reception there, I was in the middle of nowhere, so I couldn't look up on ABRP. Went with it anyway. What's the worst that could happened. Also ended up doing about 10km of dirt roads(I know its too early for that).

I am still waiting for my VIN and unfortunately seems like it could take a few weeks based on other people's experiences.
I heard that the deliveries are coming in thick and fast as they are still processing deliveries for people that have ordered last year but bear in mind deliveries for the 2024 Model 3 only began in January, with the added bonus of a couple of weeks stoppage due to the child seat issue, so they are playing catch up at the moment.
I am waiting on my Tesla salesman to give me a ring today about potentially securing a car that is in their inventory at the moment.

It might not feel like it while you are waiting, however the estimated delivery timeframe in your app is usually pretty accurate. Just remember, it is a window and is likely at any time in that window.Hi All -

I've spoken to the dealership and now i am considering of switching to the Deep Blue Metallic. He said because it's not as popular that there is an added bonus of a faster delivery time!
The blue cars look dope. So does white though. They all do. Moreso the Gray, but im biased.
Same model and build date as mine (ordered 6 Feb). Coming to Perth and no vessel named yet. You seem to have landed in the express lane.G'day all!

This might make it easier for you not to fill in time buying accessories
