Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B
- Start date
Yeh not many but they are out there with EDD's now for May-June deliveries. The Turandot ship that came last week to Melbourne was the first Tesla ship to arrive coming directly from Shanghai without stopping elsewhere first from what I can see, I've gone as far back as August. It's only the second to arrive since the mad port congestion earlier this year/fire at one of the berths in Feb (which reduced capacity by 1/3). The last one to arrive was in March. If you see attached files, look how much the schedule changed for Melbourne across March/April.
People who ordered later are getting deliveries closer because there is just significantly more product coming in again.

Hope it docks Tuesday morning May 16th. Just checked the Port Kembla Port website and it lists Viking Passama as docking Saturday May 20th !
I think my Model Y RWD Blue/Black 19" Gemini is on Viking Passama. Build date 3/4 VIN issued. RAV Entry on 4/5.
Rav entry possibly when the ship docked in Brisbane. I assume for Melb delivery it will trucked down to VIC.
Yes Melb was pretty stuffed early in the year. I think that fire boat pissed off yesterday which be a relief for those waiting.
There was a non Armacup ship the Grande Mirafiori which my Model 3 was on docked 3rd of April, although it took its time
Entered OZ waters 28th of Feb only docked Brisbane 8th of March, my RAV 10/3 then Port Kembla 18th of March? if I remember.
So straight to Melb makes this better for us
Seems the Grand Eagle also non Armacup coming in the next few days maybe has my Model Y.. Maybe not he he

Either that or quite probably Viking Sea which arrived in Port Kembla 2/5. Many 3/4 build date Melbourne orders got texts to schedule delivery last week (some M3's too), cars were being transported down - so yours must be soon. Transporting from Brisbane to Melbourne is very unlikely due to cost/availability, that's why they have ships to drop off.

IS it? Looks like a transfer ship to me.Yes, Turandot is stopping at Fremantle on the way back to Shanghai. Scheduled for 31/5.
Few others also that have recently left or leaving Shanghai. You can see some on the link below, there will be others not on here that go a different route via Singapore/Thailand with MOLACE instead of Armacup, but they don't release their schedules. You may be better off following the Perth waiting room forum, more specific info there it seems.
Specifically says not to give away that information like this but whatever
Hard to deny that its port congestion when you can actually SEE the port congestion.

Add to that: Tarifa, Mediterranean Sea, Tankhauser and Polaris Leader.
Dream Beauty is docked now and Palmela is on the way to dock.
Elegant Ace and Eridanus Leader departed over the weekend.
I know someone said Port of Brisbane can handle two vehicle carriers at the same time but I still haven't seen it happen yet. I'll believe it when I see it
Good to know they're working Saturdays and Sundays though.
EDD just got pushed to June 3 - June 24 which was May 13 - Jun 3 earlier.
Just had a look at mine, and it also moved to Jun 2 - Jun 23. So officially out of the Feb - May window we both had for our Oct 22 orders.
It's nice to know there are others in the same boat... Oct. 22 order, SYD and just got pushed back from 13/5 to 3/6 to 9/6 to 30/6... WTF is happening at these docks?
It is so frustrating! Morning Crystal has been floating for 2 week so far and another week to go! So stupid
When it finally docks next week in Brisbane, I wonder how long it will take for my car to be transported to Gold Coast and ready for collection?

Using my model 3 in Melb as a example docked Monday 3/4 before Easter my pickup 21/4..
Others got it earlier.. Next door neighbour was like 5-6 days after me same boat/build date

Apart from different specs and my order was only couple of weeks ahead, my VIN date, build date and delivery window are identical to yours. Crossing fingers now. Have cars been unloaded and are in transit now or they are still waiting to be cleared at port Melbourne?
Ok now i'm confused. I'm a NSW RWD order from November build date 3/4 and have a booked delivery for 22/5. I thought my vehicle was on Viking Passama which departed the factory on 7/4 and was due to dock at Port Kembla around 29/4. It was delayed in Brisbane so moved to 9/5 and then got pushed to today (15/5) and has now been bumped to 20/5.
I've had no contact from Tesla advising of any changes so now i've got no idea what ship it was on.
You can really understand why Tesla and other manufacturers would send vehicles to other markets with the joke that the Australian port system is. Having inventory just sitting outside ports for weeks/months on end must cost a fortune in working capital and then delays sending new shipments. Which then leads me to wonder what they do with the forward order production book for Australia if the ships are all sitting off our ports. Do they find more transport ships or defer building AU RHD models until they know they have available transport returning from Australia? I wonder who gets charged for the delays, do the shipping companies just absorb the lost revenue sitting around through higher fees or do the manufacturers incurr the liability for days sitting outside ports?

If you’ve got a booked delivery for a particular date, then you must be one of the lucky ones to have your vehicle already here. No more stress about the ships
They don’t send delivery booking appointments until the car is unloaded and on its way to the dealership.
Interesting, does anyone recall the last Tesla ship to arrive in Port Kembla that left China after 3/4? The build date is what had me convinced it was on Passama as it left a few days after build. I did put my VIN into the other Tesla shipping company website (sorry can't recall name) and didn't get a hit so assumed it was on a Armacup ship.If you’ve got a booked delivery for a particular date, then you must be one of the lucky ones to have your vehicle already here.

I've got to say the whole shipping thing is a bit of a mystery.
