Thanks -- let's hope so. Just seems like luck of the draw in how they manage final delivery. Almost feels like getting a slightly second hand car with it sitting out in the weather for a few weeks.
Grand Eagle will be berth to Port Melbourne Webb Dock 1 West on 18/05/2023 00:01, hopefully, BD 24/04/23 will update RAV tonight

Palmela has left POB. By now, anyone on that ship should at least have gotten a "prepare for delivery" SMS.
Fingers crossed for actual booking slot SMSs to come through soon!

I’m also curious about the parcel shelf. I know it’s been discussed many times before and my educated guess would be 95% it’s not there.I had the same concern, the SA advised that the cars coming to Australia do have the USS installed!
Looking at the Aus manual, it hasn’t been updated with the parcel shelf section like the UK one.
I do find its absence strange given that Tesla has been shipping MY with parcel shelves to other markets for a while, including from the Shanghai gigafactory. So that would mean they have to maintain two different sets of side inserts for the boot in the same factory - very unlike Tesla!
But hey… at least we still get USS and (according to @grizzlybear’s SA) comfort suspension. That’s 2 out of 3
’s for me!

There are now upwards of 14 vehicle carriers waiting to dock in Port Kembla with that number still growing.
Amazing.
And Grand Eagle still loitering outside of Melbourne port waiting to dock with no end in sight, which likely has our car on it.
Does entering into the RAV database not mean the car is physically on land yet, it could be still on a boat?

That's not great by any means. Your RAV entry is earlier than mine, and much earlier than many others that have picked up their car after the Morning Cherry unloaded on May 1st at Port Kembla.
I was just told (over the phone by Tesla) that I was simply unlucky that I was caught up in a queue on the Port Kembla car lots (either awaiting customs / bio security clearance, or available third party logistics to carry the car to the delivery centre).
Really seems like that getting in early with orders etc doesn't really translate to anything much given all the moving parts/variables.
Not ideal, as we are not enjoying/realising the value of the purchase, and each week that passes is in some way a reduction in value (given Project Juniper upcoming, reducing the time we get to enjoy the latest model ahead of the refresh hitting the streets). Marginal I know, but still annoying in some small way.
Mostly worried about the car sitting out in the salty air. I will be going over it with a fine toothcomb if I ever get a pick-up date!!!

Same. Great customer service from Tesla (given this ongoing delivery issue) would be to not only detail the car, but do/offer a ceramic coating.
I'm looking at PPF as well (which would have to go on before ceramic coating). I also don't plan on leaving it out by the sea for 3+ weeks (so to me, certainly feels second hand in some small way).

Most likely, but not guaranteed. Some ships come into Bris first, all the vins get logged at that point, but your car may need to be dropped off in Syd/Mel for example.
No parcel shelf as yet for any Model Ys - they use a different plastic housing around the boot-area to hold up the shelf. MYLR's could be the first ones to get it if they've kept the same part/sku as the UK. I'll take USS over the parcel shelf as much as i want it (and people hate it apparently)
Have you guys tried your VINS in the MOLACE tracker to see if it came up there? If not, looking at the Armacup schedule around your build date points to Morning Cherry which actually arrived in Brisbane 13/4 and left on the 14/4 and arrived in PK 1/5 and left 4/5, different to what's on the schedule below.
So you're probably caught up in the crazy PK congestion. It came through on RAV when it unloaded at Brisbane most likely as first international port of entry.

So did yours come in on the Turandot to Port Melbourne (given you're picking up on Friday you lucky bugger
) ?Super happy for you -- will live vicariously through your joy while I wait
