A tad frustrating - I have a order date of 4/7/23, earlier than some here but yet I have not received the scheduling text. I'm guessing I'm behind due to having a novated lease arrangement?

VIN assignd and all and was notified the car is in Australia (VIC)

MY RWD - Red

I also going with a novated leasing. Got the text yesterday and they just did the payment to Tesla today. Picking up on 27th. Tesla not coordinating with your leasing company. Didn’t Tesla check with you on your leasing arrangement? They gave me a call day after the ship has arrived and asked me if I’m already approved and ready to go. May be give them a call and check. They told me they would need to finish before the 30th.

They won't do it. Each state has its allocation. And that's all there is too it. I asked the same question as Vic. Gold Coast. Tas. Even act had the EXACT car I wanted but nup. Each state gets its allocation and I was strictly told you need proof of address to buy there car.

So if you got a registered parking address in a other state they will sell it to you. Then you need to get it reregistered etc.
Just wait it will come. Seems like it is taking forever. I ordered 30 Jun. I got 28th September pick up date. 4 months...
Damn. I wondered about that. Thanks for the info though.
 
Ordered 6th August and still no VIN.

Spoke with Tesla this week - the guy had no idea what's going on but still mentioned to say they try to get it in delivery window, but don't see how that's possible as there is 7 days left and VIN isn't assigned.
