Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B
- Start date
my EDD is 31 May - 21 June and yes, I think we should be able to pick it up in that window if my guess that my MY is on Morning Crystal turns out right.
The
What’s your EDD? Mine arrived on 10th May via Turandot, but is still being cleared or parked as no other comms received from Tesla than getting delayed a couple of times.

Keen to know -->> Is there anyone else on here with a car that was on the Morning Cherry (unloaded 1st of May, Port Kembla) and still waiting (like me)??
Thought I'd post a quick summary of my delivery experience over the weekend for my RWD Y.
Picked up from Chatswood on Saturday afternoon, this must be one of the smaller locations in Australia as they only do 30 deliveries a day which reduces to 15 on Saturday due to test drive commitments, nothing on Sundays. They probably had 30 vehicles ready for delivery which was pretty much full, its not the giant warehouse facilities you normally see..
Car was fully charged, SA walked us around the car then spent about 45 minutes running us through everything. Process wasn't rushed at all and he was super helpful.
My build date was 3/4 and I can confirm it has different suspension to the one we test drove in November. We had a Y with Gemini wheels for an overnight test drive and we drove the same route on Saturday home with ours which has the 20 inch wheels. Noticeable smoother ride with the car feeling a lot more settled over road imperfections. My wife, who had no idea about the suspension changes, commented on the way home that the ride was so much better.
Very happy with the vehicle and worth the wait from November, which really wasn't that long.
Quick tip for those looking to save some $'s on insurance. My vehicles CTP was with NRMA on delivery, if you combine this with the free six month blue membership when taking out comprehensive insurance your discount increases to 7.5% as your comprehensive becomes policy three. Just get your quote in the final few days before delivery. When i did mine the day before I couldn't figure out why the NRMA website was showing me as having two active products, that was why.

Yes @Nthr47 mine is exactly the same EDD of 25/5 - 15/6. Is your build date 24/4?? Have you found out which ship is your car on?
I was on Viking Sea, but apart from that we're the same. It's so frustrating for two reasons:
- It was unloaded from the ship at the start of May, in a different state, to save time because the Melbourne port was so congested. Meanwhile, ships have since docked and unloaded in Melbourne, and cars have been delivered. I'm still stuck in PK.
- Because it's now in the hands of a 3rd party road transporter, there's no way to track it or get any useful information. No way of knowing if you're first or last.

What is your order? I ordered MYLR build date 24/4, is it likely to be on that ship?

Ah, we certainly have some shared frustration. Looks like the Viking Sea docked a day after the Morning Cherry at PK, so we're likely both still sitting pretty close to each other in that lovely corrosive salty air week after week.
I have a friend in Melbourne (also ordered around the same time in 2022), picked up their Y in Melbourne on Saturday, processed within about 10 days in Port Melbourne. You're so right, a later build date/ship arriving in Melbourne would've had us with our hands on our Ys by now it appears.
I'm pretty sure the Tesla logistics team would have some more granular visibility into the schedule of daily movements, and continuous truck bookings, as well as where we are in the queue/backlog from PK. Transparency in logistics has come a long with in digital self service etc, and has certainly reduced customer anxiety during wait times in the world of online shopping -- which is kind of what buying a Tesla is >> I bought the ModelY in the same way I buy a MacBook/iPhone... it's another tech device (at least, that's customer experience they have designed).
Hopefully they are just reissuing your final final final invoice. Was there anything that might have changed like trade-in details, making a payment, etc?
