Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[unharmed]

How long did it take for your order in these last step to get a delivery sms and time ?

I never received an SMS throughout the entire process. Various SA rang me. I found the process seamless, unintuitive. I took the attitude that it would get here whenever Tesla wanted it to. The SA know less than us, at least we have group talk on the socials.

It took a week after the car was unloaded in Port Kembla, for it to appear on RAV. Then it was trucked to Brisbane, stored at the Port of Brisbane holding yard, then when predelivery was scheduled, it was trucked into Hendra and I picked it up the next day. This whole process took over two weeks from seeing it appear on RAV. Because they are literally pumping them through like sausages, the staff are fatigued and are over it. Mine had a fair bit of orange Peel" in the paint and a few blemishes that my Detailer picked up prior to ceramic coating it. Tesla take the attitude if you cannot see it a metre from the car, they are not interested in fixing it. That's the old GMH attitude I know and hate. I used to be a GMH dealer service manager many years ago.

The Tesla delivery process is slick and shithouse at the same time. It would be barely acceptable if I was spending <$20k.

Thanks for that , makes sense !

Mine turned up in RAV last monday 10th October . EDD moved on Sunday from 14th - 28th Oct to 24th Oct to 7 Nov. This post has helped explain a lot !
Thanks for the details, still excited but also anxious for the sms to or a call from an SA haha !

Seems quite a few of the Feb-May RWD orders are being brought forward to November.. must be all those slots they took away from us MYP buyers

Sounds too good to be true

Oh wow, I didn't know you could check what ship your car is on. Is there a way to check for armacup ships?

No, unfortunately as far as I know Armacup doesn't have a vin search. Would be great if they did as they do most of the shipments but they don't

Anyone here from Sydney got a EDD Oct 18 - Nov 1 for a RWD?

Anyone here from Sydney got a EDD Oct 18 - Nov 1 for a RWD?

Yep, I got same EDD - ordered around 7PM on the first day, the edd changed to 9th Oct - 23rd and then to 18th Oct - 1 Nov. No text from Tesla yet. I am guessing they will send it this week given someone from Brisbane received the sms yesterday & scheduled for delivery next week.

It seems my EDD gets delayed again today, very disappointed. From 9th Oct - 23rd and then to 18th Oct - 1 Nov, now it is showing 31st Oct - 14th Nov.

Rollin' Car Insurance was the cheapest quote by far and super easy to use

I checked them out but they wont give me a quote without a number plate

 

[moOmoOnEL]

Oh wow just received the delivery SMS
Earliest available is Oct 27
Anyone in Sydney got a earlier date?

Pretty sure you can do it via the VIN number. I did it last week.

 

[kashy]

Just got sms to book in for pickup. Most recent estimate was 18 October to 1 November. Booked in for next Thursday at canberra.

Damn

 

[allenrong88]

What's going on with Tesla? Where are all the boats? I can see no update from Vedaprime where he usually posts them publicly on Twitter once the boats arrive.

 

[fvb14]

Damn

Booked in for Nov 4th. Wouldve liked it a bit earlier but that's okay.

 

[[Zombie]]

Where are all the boats?

There are many multiple #Tesla ships on the way

If you'd like to know specifically which ships are on the way, where they are and how many Teslas are on board each (where known) then you can Join Vedaprime's Tesla Tracking service

My original ETA was 8-22/10 then 18-30/10 then this morning 24/10-7/11 and felt like crying. But later today got SMS and now I am booked for 25th (Sydney-Miranda). So the next wave of deliveries definitely started.
