How much have you been quoted for the install of the charger? Every sparkie I have spoken to have quoted $1k for the install (20m cable run, easy access)

don't get your hope up too much!!! lower your expectation then you will have a higher satisfaction.Looks like Morning Crystal is heading towards the Dock , hopefully some VIN's today
TBH, unless there are built cars sitting at HaiTong terminal then there will be no VINs.
$1K seems steep. My sparky installed my Gen 3 wall connector on 3 Phase for $635 but was only 2 Meters from the meter box. This included an isolation switch, cabling, conduit and dedicated 25 Amp safety Switch. Only $267 of that was labour, he charges $10 per meter for running 3 phase cable.

For the most recent shipment there were no cars sitting outside the terminal. They were parked elsewhere and trucked straight to the ship.
Parking at the port is expensive, and there are plenty of parking lots between the factory and the docks.
So if you $200 for the 20m of cabling that the other poster needs, that'd bring your quote up to $835 which is in the ballpark of $1k. Seems about right to me.
I installed mine myself (i'm a registered Electrician) easy install 32 amp single phase and also put in a dedicated 15amp socket for good measure took about 3 hours inc testing and comissioning and $150 in parts.
Hardest part was getting the screws in the wall box to Gen 3 back plate!

This could be your new gig since lot of tesla's are coming onto roads and lot more installations. Just out of curiosity do you need to run new cable from fuse box or you can reuse existing wiring
Where are you based? Happy to pay you to tell me what I need to do or quote me for a job?
I got a number of different quotes in Sydney as I wasn't sure which direction I wanted to go.
$700 for wall charger install and 32amp single phase circuit. No wire run as I had this provisioned during house build.
$1400 for wall charger install, 3 phase upgrade of meter box, new meter (lines from street already run), 32 amp 3phase circuit. Also no wire run required.
I went with the 2nd option as I occasionally require a full recharge overnight and it would useful to add serious kms on quickly if needed, overkill for now but I'm future proofed if cars ever support 22kw charging.
That's excellent! Moving to 3 phase alone normally costs around that
I am now looking at this option as well. I have received two quotes with ~$1300 to just install the charger (single phase) inside our garage in a double storey home. If I am on a spending spree to future proof my house then it is worth looking into this option.
Afternoon all, EDD changed from 30 AUG - 30th to AUG 13-AUG 27th
So I’m happy with that. Although still no rego or final invoice to be seen. (Anyone Else in the same boat)???
Im assuming the Model Y is pretty much already in AUS on one of the boats and will take a week or 2 to clear customs and transported.

Not sure how much cost is in this, but I already had the 3 phase wiring from the street and 3 fuses in the meter board. Meter and switchboard all single phase though.
That explains the quote. Someone just quoted me a rough estimate of $4000-$5000 for a Single phase to three phase changeover. Cost includes laying new conduit to the pit, digging , upgrading wiring for the whole house...I have now given up on this.
