That smells like a strawman argument to me.
I don't dispute Australia's market status, the high demand for these cars, or if customers in Australia ultimately matters to Tesla. So I probably don't have the answer you're looking for.

Ok, I managed to get a pic of the rear, sorry didn't get a chance to get the front one. Is this the new comfort?
What's reasonable?. One could say that Tesla's estimates dates can reasonably be relied upon. I say none of what a car manufacturer/dealer says can ever be grounds for reasonable expectations unless it's written down in a contract
of course, but my point is because of that, nothing they say can or should be relied upon especially when delivery dates may impact on other issues important to the purchaser
I'm not looking for answers... I'm just stating an unfortunate fact. I'm sure the Australian market matters to Tesla - but only to the extent that it does - note the fact that Tesla is happy to cancel the book build of the S and X. Likely the numbers were too low to make it worthwhile - despite causing disappointment. The value that Tesla puts on some of those S,X customers who ordered?. $3000 - if they buy a 3/Y

Personally, i would expect that when given a range, be it dates or prices, then the expectation is that the result would be within that range.
A range is normally best case to worse case. A variation from the range should be minimal if any at all, unless you really have no idea about your product and processes... Or something completely unexpected occurring.
Are the edd legally binding...., no.
Do people have the right to expect a professional company to know their current demand vs production capacity... yes
Do companies fudge figures to promote sales... of cause.
What can we do about the blown out delivery times... nothing but complain and let others know. This way at least others will know that the times are not realistic and to lower their expectations.

As I eagerly await the delivery of my White on White Model Y off the coast of Port Kembla on Grand Eagle, I'm curious if it will come with HW4. For those interested, the Tesla Info site provides current/recent inventory details, including hardware versions.
Based on my research, confirming HW4 presence using the page source code data is challenging. However, I hope we gain better clarity soon. Personally, I'm not optimistic about receiving HW4 and suspect a HW3 vehicle instead. This is disappointing, considering the lengthy wait and the potential depreciation compared to HW4 models. On a positive note, we might still benefit from ultrasonic sensors.

Basically I have no expectations. I will know when I get the vehicle.

Gigafactory 3 (Shanghai) produces approx 20,000 vehicles per week.
The VFacts data says that for May 2023, Tesla registrations were about 3100 MY and 1300 M3. (4400 Tesla approx)
That's about 5.5% of the monthly Gigafactory 3 production. That's how small the Australian Market it - It takes maybe about 2 days production time to build the May 2023 registered vehicles (maybe add a bit to change the production from LHD to RHD.

No expectations is probably the smartest way to be when ordering a tesla, and lots of other items atm.
With such a small market in Australia, you'd think that they would be able to manage demand better.
They could do better with their estimate. Why even say edd June/July when can't deliver Apr/May deliveries in June. Be much smarter to have started saying July - Oct. If it arrives August, people would rave about how good delivery was...

It's unlikely they put the new suspension in the rear while keeping the old parts in the front.
I'm still keen to see confirmation what's on the front of a recent RWD or LR, but I expect it will be the parts I quoted earlier. 1188363-00-H / 1188368-00-H
You've been upgraded to a new Tesla UFO?
Yeah, hopefully that means something is being updated in your account and you'll see some progress soon. Fingers crossed.
They may be updating their website. Let's see if it's the same even after couple of hours
Lol, tesla UFO, is that the ute?You've been upgraded to a new Tesla UFO?

Elon has hired drones for delivery so the website is upgrading to reflect that (on a serious note, the sister company does send rockets into space so this mess up of delivery delays is unacceptable)
I made the payment today so this glitch is giving me palpitations.
Don't know why it would be better. They are not the only customers of the Vehicle carriers that ply the Asia to Oceania trade route.
