Australian Model Y Waiting Room

Thanks Maximillan, My email came a day after on 11th June around 7am, But I found a SMS from Tesla "Welcome to Tesla Family..." ordered on 10 Jun 22 @ 1146 Hours.
Is it a good idea to install a charger now or shall I wait for my VIN?? I guess after VIN is allotted it takes around 4-6 weeks for the Car to deliver.
I decided to get the charger now and I don't even have a VIN. Main reason was "why not?" coupled with me having an electrician over anyways for unrelated work.
Some say that if there was a flood of new cars, the charger might become low on stock and there could be wait times. Not sure how likely that scenario is though.
I may do this too. I'm going "tight @$$" option though. 32amp single phase with the adapter for the stock mobile charger
I 100% was going to go down this route but have decided to get a Gen3 instead. My charge point was going to be installed outside (undercover) but not completely waterproof and just felt like the wall charger was going to be a better outdoor permanent option. It also isnt significantly (IMO) more expensive to go the wall charger over the 5pin 32a
Agree with your thoughts. I'm going three pin 32A. It will be under shelter. I still need electrician to come in and have a proper look as I have solar panels as well. If I can get three phase easily and cost-effectively from the solar panels then I'll look into a wall charger. I was going to get the single and three phase 32 amp adapters Either way to keep them in the car.

Unless you're off-grid the solar panels shouldn't be a consideration
Because of "net-metering" you can export from two phases and import on one phase (three phase solar & single phase charging) or export on one phase and import on the other two phases (single phase solar & three phase charging) and your power meter will add & subtract the values appropriately and bill you / pay you for the difference.
So if you've got three phase at the switchboard and you're running a new power cable to the garage anyway, you might as well go three-phase, since you're paying for labour (the bulk of the cost) either way.
Thanks for that. Good to know. My solar is the original solar that basically pumps it back into the grid. And I think the house is single phase in. If it's three phase, I'll definitely go that way. I need an electrician who had done this before.

To add to this, the Gen3 charger has over the past year been frequently listed as out of stock.

Same here. Bought a Gen3 and got delivered last week. Sparky coming this week. Seen "Out of Stock" also in the past. ...still got no VIN, ordered about 21:45pm got SMS 22:10.
The worst part about ordering a Gen3 Charger is that you get an email a few days later and for a short moment you'll get your hopes up it is about your car, not just a shipping notification for the charger 
I am not expecting an rain or storm of VIN happening until we get some clarity from workshop if they are preparing any batches for AU/NZ. Last batch according to Vedaprime (on twitter) and Wu Wa's video appears to be for Export to non AU market.
Went for second test drive today and really fell In love with the car , so for demo cars they removed UMC pouches from cars unlike last time they placed them in boot. So I think that confirms it's definitely gone for new cars booked on after 8th july
Customers in China where the factory is right by their doorstep have to wait 5 to 6 months. We in Australia just placed our first orders 6 weeks ago. Some people (me excluded) already got their VIN. We should be thankful of what we've got. Just be patient. Our EDD is Aug-Nov and it's max 5 months.
That's because the Ship is stuck floating around off the sunshine coast.
If history repeats, you won't get firmer dates until the cars get offloaded in Port Kembla ( which is still 4+ days away )
