Australian Model Y Waiting Room

Glad I could help! Haha
Wish the LR was in the FBT limit otherwise I would have taken it.
Well now I am really annoyed!! I think it could have been a glitch and I have just lost $400. I no longer have a VIN assigned and delivery has gone to May - June 
I even downloaded the registration to fill out and it shows the vin.
I will be fighting Tesla for a refund as I only put the deposit down because it was in inventory!

This is how stock is added, it briefly will show up online before being assigned to existing orders (Then disappearing from orderable stock). Sometimes it works and you can sneak a quick-buy.Well now I am really annoyed!! I think it could have been a glitch and I have just lost $400.

Happened to me also back in December.
Overall its a good sign to people with orders as it shows VINs are being assigned/stock is moving.
Agreed. If they show it as publicly available, they should expect that people will place orders. I hope they refund you quickly.Well now I am really annoyed!! I think it could have been a glitch and I have just lost $400. I no longer have a VIN assigned and delivery has gone to May - June

Thats really poor on Tesla's behalf. Especially considering you cancelled your existing order in the process.Well now I am really annoyed!! I think it could have been a glitch and I have just lost $400. I no longer have a VIN assigned and delivery has gone to May - June

Hopefully you get slotted back in where you were once the $400 is resolved.
Ludicrous Feed picked his up recently and commented on it. He's driven both the MYP and RWD now recently and thought they felt similar and definitely softer than the RWD he tested last year. So it seems that the change has made it across, can't believe producing 2 different suspension systems for the same car is very cost effective. Until someone strips one down, we're never going to know for 100% certainty, not even Tesla reps seem to know 100%.
I also saw a MY RWD available in stock today and disappeared in a couple of mins. Curious to see how Tesla handles your case. Hope you will get your refund.Well now I am really annoyed!!

They already do - the Model Y Performance sits lower to the ground, so it has shorter springs and different dampers to suit.
And the RWD and Long Range each have different suspension too, probably due to the weight difference.
In the USA the Performance damper item codes got a minor revision between "old" and "comfort" - they were
Code:
DAMPER ASSY FR LEFT HAND,COIL E3 DM PERF. 1188371-00-E
DAMPER ASSY FR RH, COIL E3 DM PERF 1188376-00-E
RR DAMPER ASSY - COIL DM PERF. 1188465-00-Eand are now
Code:
DAMPER ASSEMBLY COIL E3 - DUAL MOTOR PERFORMANCE - FRONT LEFT HAND 1188371-00-F
DAMPER ASSEMBLY COIL E3 - DUAL MOTOR PERFORMANCE - FRONT RIGHT HAND 1188376-00-F
DAMPER ASSEMBLY COIL - DUAL MOTOR PERFORMANCE - REAR 1188465-00-FAnd it has been confirmed (through visual inspection) we got the latter in Australia.
For the Long Range the "comfort" product codes are
Code:
Front Left: 1188363-00-H
Front Right: 1188368-00-H
Rear Shock: 1188463-00-ESomeone will need to confirm what's installed when the first LRs arrive on our shores.
And I've yet to find any definitive answer for RWD, probably because that model isn't available in the USA, and that's where most of this info comes from.

I would still be subscribing to Vedaprime to see where the VIN is at.
Yeh but im referring to building 2 suspensions systems for RWD specifically, not all the other models. Chinese domestic MY builds have been confirmed with the newer comfort suspension already, the question is those for Australia which no one can seem to confirm, so we would need a tear down to know 100%.

If theres someone in syd who wants me to decode their suspension - let me know.. or just take a pic and ill decode with my RF scanner.

No need to tear anything down, we just need someone with a 2022 model and someone else with a 2023 model each take a photo of one of their rear dampers, and compare their labels.
Here's a snap of one of mine (Performance rear damper)
I called through to the 1800 number and they will escalate and if a glitch they will issue a refund. Can only wait now.
Our MYRWD (details below) was delivered last Thursday.
We did an approx 500 klm road trip over the weekend and we love the suspension, and the car.
Obviously, this will mean nothing to most people as tastes are different.
Build quality is great.
The tyres are Michelin 255/40 R 20 Pilot Sport EV
The only problem we have is not with the car, but the wall connector which won't initialise no matter what we do.
Luckily we ordered an IMC and received it before the car arrived, so are using that until we get the wall connector sorted. I suspect it is faulty.

By "not initialise" do you mean that the commissioning process starting with the QR code doesn't work?
FWIW, called Tesla sales this morning about my MYLR order and USS - they said (rough quote) "I don't believe the Gigafactory has changed the cars for AU/NZ, even though obviously in the US the change has shipped" when asked if USS is gone on any new cars.
They also weren't pressed on any MYLR deliveries even when I pointed out someone in QLD seems to have found one for registration.
