Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[mcv75]

For folks who are still waiting for their VIN#s, I guess the ships to keep an eye on are -
Don Juan - due into Bris on 22/3
Orca Ace - due into Melb on 22/3
Orchid Ace - Arrived into Singapore yesterday 19/3
Morning Cherry - due into Singapore on 24/3

Don Juan has been sitting off the coast from Brisbane for a few days with a new ETA of 29/03.
Orca Ace is docked in Melbourne.
Orchid Ace is due back in Singapore tomorrow after visiting Thailand.
Morning Cherry is on its way to Saudi Arabia so not for us.
Bergamot Ace left Adelaide a few days ago bound for Japan so no more Teslas on board.

Insurance question - what sort of quotes are you guys receiving / received recently? NRMA offers Roadside Assistance & charging as well with its policy - is roadside assistance really required or does Tesla offer that as well with the purchase?

is roadside assistance really required or does Tesla offer that as well with the purchase?

It’s included with purchase. Be sure to read about what’s included below:

Not really required but I’ve kept my nrma roadside assistance as a just in case.

I just got a quote from Youi for $3500. Car kept at home in garage, one driver.

For me AAMI, Allianz and NRMA were the cheapest around $1700 with a lot of excess!

You can check the various ports websites to see inbound/outbound ships. Sometimes you can match the ship names up with regular Tesla carrying ships. Also, most Tesla carrying ships to Australia depart from Shanghai South Port, so you can check there and see which ones are heading this way.
Doesnt mean they are carrying Tesla, and some go to other ports first.

There are a few regulars (Don Juan, Bargamot ACE etc) but normally things are not confirmed until someone gets an email saying their car is on a certain ship.

 

[kmsyd777]

another question - does Tesla confirm when they have received the money?

 

[smeltitdeltit]

Just got the “your delivery is approaching” email. Dates still showing April 03 to may 06. How from the “delivery approaching” email are people finding it takes? Car arrived in Melbourne on the Orca Ace on Saturday.

For me, Allianz and GIO (NRMA wayyyy out). Went with Allianz.

another question - does Tesla confirm when they have received the money?

I received an SMS when I sent $10 a few weeks before delivery just to test it was all correct. When I sent my bigger payments I didn't get an SMS but could see the date the payment was received on the manage order page.

You will get an SMS/Email plus your account page will update.

I never received any confirmations (email or SMS) of money received. But I could see in the account web page that it was there.

 

[richardnau]

For those that have received their vehicles, do we get a heads up of our rego number or do we find out on the day? I was hoping it can show up on my Service NSW app prior to collection.

My registration details appeared in the service NSW page the day prior to collection. I was able to update my insurance policy with the complete details before picking up.

Mine was a short one liner saying a payment had been received on my RN.
Ahh looking back on those sms bring back memories and that maroon 5 song starts playing in my head

Though I've had the car for just 34 days, the pre-delivery process (and all the angst) has receded very quickly. Bit like the COVID years - no fun at the time, glad it's over and we have more-or-less moved on!
