Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B
- Start date
Woohoo got my Model Y VIN today,,,, Estimated delivery 25/8 - 5/9. Order date 10/6 10:32am order time. MSM/White 20" induction wheels. Still nothing on the M3 I ordered 3 months before this one. No invoice yet so don't know the build date. Maybe it's among the first of the new batch comming after the shutdown?

i feel its the white seats getting their VINS.....Get ready for raining VIN's I suppose.
It seems like Tesla gets a batch of parts from its suppliers or internal manufacturing and simply optimises the infantry with what they produce next. That’s why I think the order of production is quite strange and unpredictable.
That's the likelihood if things are similar to this quarter, although production might not start a few days before month end, think this was only due to the shutdown.

No one really knows.
The Y VINs coming through now won't be delivered until August, so they're not really ahead of the original EDD, but rather at the early end of the estimate (which is positive news on its own).
I agree it does give me some positivity seeing the RWD Y's coming through and matching up with their original EDD but track record of Tesla isnt great when it comes to this so I'm slightly sceptical but anxiously excited too.
Side note, who is thinking of tinting their glass roof, and if so to what percentage?

I'm not. I tinted the side windows and the rear window (rear window is a bitch of tint to do on the 3) on the 3 and I haven't feel the need to do the roof. With the Y I'd imagine that the additional head room would further minimise the heat soak sensation through the roof on to the top of your head.
Hmm yeah good point. HOPEFULLY i get to experience the car in Summer (if it comes in time) so maybe ill see how the heat is first before going through with it. I would prefer not to and keep the clean clear look above to the sky

The Y roof looks great as it does without the centre bar in the middle of the 3's roof, the trade off being a much smaller rear window.
All that additional glass will make summer more of a challenge than the 3, I'll definitely be getting the darkest legal tint. The bonus will be that it'll obscure the view into the boot should the car be delivered without the cargo cover.
Yeah I thought the exact same thing regarding the cargo cover, it is 100% something that I am going to add aftermarket if it doesnt come delivered with one (which I dont think it will as the showroom models dont have it).

Showroom models were built earlier this year. Our production run has a chance of having them.
Should have them, has been part of the Shanghai standard build for a few months
Just recieved my Invoice which has the Build Date - 16/7 so it looks like it came off the line after the shutdown fortnight. I wonder if it changes anything about the vehicle build itself or just production line processes.
So order date 10/6 10:32am, Build Date 16/7, VIN date 17/7, Invoice Date 18/7. I can't complain about how quick the Model Y builds are coming out compared to the model 3 waitlist.
