Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

I ordered this exact same spec 31 December to Brisbane and still on Feb-Apr with no updates at all :-(
I do about 20km each way, plug in to a jolt charger for the free 7kw while i go into shops or check email for 20mins snd im back to 98% when i get home. Its downhill to work so i regen to close to 100%. Only really have to top up on weekends or if i go somewhere. Youd be laughing at 12km each way, go a few weeks then plug into a faster 50/100kw charger for a few mins, couple of bucks.
Cheaper than house burning down
Disclaimer: I'm probably wrong
I've imported a few containers in the last few years and the journey usually goes, China > Somewhere > Fremantle > Adelaide > Melbourne > Sydney and then Brisbane. I'm guessing by lurking around here that in the past they have allocated dates and VIN numbers as they have been made and dispatched. But with the big volume of orders recently they have filled a boat and are allocating along the way as they sort it out. Due to the round trip south of the country you may have a later delivery date. Again. I'm just guessing.
It’s only showing Singapore as the next destination for me on marine traffic and all the other trackers. Does anyone have a better ship route tracker? I think you can get more info once you have a VIN.

I don't know I have not been told anything since placing the order and doing my pre-delivery tasks.
Usually when the ship is on the way to Aus. You will get a VIN when you receives your vehicle registration form.
When it departs, mine is on the Orchid Ace and I received the VIN already (but it's not appearing in the app).Orchid Ace is scheduled to leave Singapore on the 26th and arrival in NSW on April 8th, not sure about other states

Yes, indeed a limitation up here in the Sunshine State. On the sup side, you can now install a charger on a 32A circuit the 20A limit was removed late last month. I suspect it would be for hard-wired chargers only, not a 32A socket.I think he is in QLD and in a rental so last time i checked the max single phase load up there is 20A.
Sonething to do with all the coal burning power plants cant handle it

I would replace the power point with this. With 5 GPOs you can leave them all plugged in.Sadly, no. The second wall socket is on a totally different wall, opposite the nose of the car. And the missus would kill me if I tried to hang and run a long power lead across the length of the garage.
My only other thought is I unplug the garage door and security camera anytime I want to charge. Not ideal, but am starting to think that might be my only option.
Only if it’s plugged via the longest, cheapest, thinnest extension chord Temu sells

Thanks everyone for the ideas and suggestions about charging. At this rate our plan is to just use the Tesla supercharger once a fortnight near us at Rochedale. Will put off getting the UMC for now. See how we travel with this concept.
Also realised my partner can charge our car at her work, as they have a fleet of Tesla's and have Charge Fox units in their garages. So she can just sneakily plug in once a week when someone takes a fleet vehicle out!
