Tesla know there is no competitor in Australia that is capable of any serious EV volume. BYD would be the closest but that atto 3 thing is just an oddball and it’s front wheel drive which is simply horrible to drive in the wet.

Why get an Oppo when you have an iPhone/Galaxy on order.

If you’re “feeling battered by the whole experience” think about all those folks who didn’t have the patience to wait or purchased a product from an automaker with “100 years of experience”. The complete legacy auto charging experience of multiple apps and broken generic chargers batters them on a weekly basis.
Well, Paglia is on the move from Shanghai, the first chance of a 2023 built MYP car I believe. While we are talking sob stories, I put a deposit on an EV6 in Oct 2021, they went on the market officially about Feb 2022 I think, My car was built May 2022 it arrived July 2022 just after they increased the prices across the board. The local agent had already set me up for a jacked price in the background, wouldn't talk price even though there was an official price, but no contract, so I walked away. Had the sense to put a deposit down on MYP june 10 (day 1 midday). Delivery window pushed from Q3 2023 to Q1 2023. Tesla has honoured that price from June not like others. I am concerned that July 2023 might arrive and no car, and then Tas stamp duty waiver might vanish, but here I am now still ship spotting.
Did you get your VIN? If you haven't, doubt your car is on a ship that's leaving...?

By the way, it might be already common knowledge, but Tesla rep told me today they have no clue about VIN assignment as this has recently changed and it does not happen when the car is built but when it’s in transit. So getting it while the ship is leaving is very much a possibility.
Yeah you won’t get a vin usually til it’s already left. Paglia has left as said and it will likely be carrying teslas, question is what. There’s possibly more ships down the pipeline but nothing certain yet. Excited to see what vins eventuate though
Oh i see - you could always join Vedaprime's service to see if he has clues on what kind of cars are on that ship.
This is not completely accurate information. Vin allocation can occur right at the factory or a bit later after build. There has been no vin allocation for anything built in 2023 to Australia.
How do you know what the order number actually are, tesla do not release those figures.
Based on what VedaPrime was saying above (no 2023 build vins given out), it seems Paglia mostly likely contain 2022 builds I'm guessing.

That’s not what he said. He said that VIN assignment can happen in the factory or after the cars are loaded to the trucks/ships. This doesn’t mean that no 2023 models have been produced for ANZ, but that if any, we won’t know for sure for a few days.
I mean ye true, I was just thinking it would be strange an entire ship got filled with 2024 cars and not a single 2023 vin has been issued as far as we know.
