I don't know anything about such things but I'd think one person could probably drive off, park and return for the next vehicle every....what....15 minutes? 4 an hour? An individual could maybe offload 25 cars in four hours? So maybe it would take 20 people working flat out for four hours to get 500 cars from a ship to a holding yard? Very interesting....

That schedule will keep changing over the next few days, I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up with a much longer stay.
It takes ships around 90 minutes just to move from where the pilot gets on board (which is what the ports schedule is based on) to its berth.
The last few Tesla carrying ships have taken another hour or so before the ramp is down, and some time after that before the first passenger vehicles are unloaded.
It may not have ever been in WA or could be a unit that was a cancelled order looking for a buyer. So likely on a ship somewhere? I am waiting on a trade in price for a P3D with FSD so that might delay things. Once they provide the trade-in price which is likely low and does not account for the value of FSD, I can decide to sell privately, sell to a dealer or keep it (then it needs new tyres and likely a new battery in the next year). It is a great car though so it will be interesting to see if the PYD is as enjoyable.
Vessel Finder shows Dignity ACE in Singapore, has not been to china for ages so must be picking Teslas up in the Singapore or Thailand, seems odd to double handle. Maybe shipping is getting to be a big issue out of China.
I have had a model 3 Performance since late 2019. It has had the FSD package since the day we purchased. Once you iron out the quirks and adjust the settings it works great. For my MYP that I have ordered I only purchased the EAP as I think that is the best bang for buck. Thats just my 2 cents.
WA cars have mostly always been double handled. Used to go to Australian East coast and then get shipped by another vessel around the Bight. However last couple of shipments have gone to Singapore and awaited an SE Asian transport run down to Fremantle. These cars left Shanghai on Jan 1st and have been waiting in Singapore a couple weeks

Damn, since June. That's super patient.
Hope you get yours in this next shipment!
Too hard to guess.. but it was reportedly only 7-10% of the total MY volumes.. maybe 1000 cars ordered in the opening week ? Or less than half a day’s production

Are there actually any MYPs in Australia yet, since the launch of the Model Y?

Just across various media articles, I think Ludicrous feed /Tesla Tom mentioned that figure also
There is also a spreadsheet tracking Model Y orders which shows about 1000 orders country wide and of that about 11% were MYP orders. If you take out the cancellations, and those swapping to RWD from P it probably is around 5% of total orders are Performance variant

Not sure I'd trust the reliability of that. It's user maintained isn't it? Be curious to know how many MYP people have not updated the spreadsheet.
With the flurry of VIN's appearing over the last 24 hours I got excited when i noticed an email from Tesla with the subject "An update on your order". So disappointed to learn my wall charger has shipped .....

Surely not accurate, nothing we find will be but still it's a sample set of at least 1000 orders country wide so it's a good overall representation of the market in Aus.
