Australian Model Y Waiting Room

Looks like we're on the same boat. Now we just have to figure out which boat that is.

haha. yeah, flip a coin.
Id be interested to know if its on one of the 4 ships loitering off Brissy, or another on route.

I'm tempted to pay for Vedaprime to get a more definitive answer and it's only $22/month. I just don't know if it's too early right now or not.
The other part of me likes guessing but then I wouldn't know if I was right in the end.

Veda provides clarity around what to expect with the port delays.
I've never really been able to understand why people would diss a service without trying it first.

If it's not for you, don't use it. But some of us see plenty of value in his service - even me, who could track my car every step of the way via molace.


It's not asking for a 15 digit VIN.

"Max 15 VIN numbers are allowed" means you can enter your 17 digit VIN, plus another 17 digit VIN, and another 17 digit VIN etc. Up to 15 times total.

Hey Zombie, on Vedaprime's website, it mentions "Pre-delivery experience" - what does that actually mean?
and in your experience, how accurate was he?

 

[brend0s]

I just joined Vedaprime. I always told myself I would when I am close to the date range, and only for a month. Seems like a good setup and he's pretty on it.

 

[borgsta]

Do you have your final invoice? Is that how you got your build date? I'm asking because we are in the same state with a very similar EDD range.

I found my build date on RAV after putting in my VIN.

If it's Turandot or Viking Paglia, I'm hoping the congestion in Melbourne and Brisbane will be cleared by then.

Hopefully will clear, since mine one is on Turandot and EDD still showing 8/5 - 29/5

What is your build date?

Hey Zombie, on Vedaprime's website, it mentions "Pre-delivery experience" - what does that actually mean?

The pre-delivery experience includes a private Discord server where you get daily updates of all the known Tesla ships - where they've been, where they are now, when they're expected to arrive at each port anchorage and when they're expected to actually get into port.

You also get personalised messages via Patreon with information about your specific vessels, and once the ship is in port you get a range of dates in which to expect delivery - after assessing all the port-based delays at that time.

My delivery was right in the middle of the 9 day window he provided. Tesla's EDD was as useless as it had been all along.

I'm still subscribed because I find the shipping and logistics side of thing very interesting.

If its in RAV

RAV will show the build month, but the invoice is the only place you'll see the full date.

And it normally takes a few days for the invoice to show up.

 

[blonky]

Received the Tesla email confirming there's a vehicle this time - so hopefully this time it's a legit VIN assignment

 

[bean2006]

got VIN too. EDD has now changed from Apr - Jun to TBD, rego paper also available. OD 19 Feb Syd.
seems like it's not another glitch this time around

If its in RAV

Its says it needs 17 number vin, but my vin is not 17 numbers

 

[[Zombie]]

my vin is not 17 numbers

Then it's not a valid VIN. All VINs are 17 characters and for a Model Y RWD will look like LRWYHCFS?PC??????

But your car won't be in RAV until it's in Australia

 

[YAnthony]

LRWYHCEK9PCXXXXXX (X being numbers blanked out)

[XLBo]

Its says it needs 17 number vin, but my vin is not 17 numbers

my vin is 17 characters

 

[Red Man]

Just to clear the air, ALL vins are 17 characters.

If you have anything less, it's not a VIN or you've got the wrong number recorded.

 

[notes_tly]

Just checked the RAV entry date is 14th Apr. I haven’t heard anything from Tesla yet.
Anyone knows why?

Sorry, it seems that vin is actually 17 numbers, but the RAV says "VIN Number Must Be 17 Characters." when I enter my VIN

 

[Yz888]

Nice. Same here. EDD changed to May 26-Jun 16 from Apr-Jun 2023 for awhile. However, it changed back to Apr-Jun 2023 now.

Ordered myrwd/msm/black/induction/canberra on 7/3/2023.

Application for vehicle registration is now visible.

Hidden vin is still hidden.

Got text message from Tesla saying a vehicle has been assigned to me. EDD changed back to May 26 to Jun 16. VIN available on the rego paper.

the RAV says "VIN Number Must Be 17 Characters." when I enter my VIN

It's just giving you possible reasons why your VIN isn't in RAV, and informing you that VINs need to be 17 characters.

The Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV) does not contain a record for this search. Possible reasons include:

• The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is not correct. VINs are 17 digit alphanumeric characters. They must not include the letters I, O or Q; or
• The vehicle is not on the RAV. Some reasons for this include:
  • Entry onto the RAV for a concessional RAV entry approval inspected by an Authorised Vehicle Verifier may take up to 48 hours;
  • the vehicle’s approval predates 10 December 2019 (the commencement of provisions of the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018). Prior to this date, vehicles were required to be fitted with physical ‘identification plates’ under the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989; or
  • the vehicle’s approval is a non-RAV entry import approval and is not added to the RAV; or
  • There is no approval for the vehicle.

As I said before, your car won't be in RAV until it's in Australia. Don't stress about it
