Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[2DoGS]

With the understanding that this is no guarantee of being correct or any contract stating such.... but may give a possible likelihood for others...
but today I was told my ACT delivery, 3LR, RAV entered 18/5, expected to be on Grand Eagle?, is hopeful of being available for pickup in June.

My Qld delivery,YLR, ordered mid April, RAV entered 5/6, not sure of ship, maybe Morning Cherry?, not as hopeful for delivery... didn't say it wouldn't happen...

So the consideration now; if not able to get full tax benefit this fy, keep in mind that LCT threshold increases 1st July, so can upspec car and still get benefit of no FBT

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.

Smaller market, less logistics needed to manage scheduling

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.

Account Website appears to be back up. No change in status from 6-27 june delivery in my order.

Boooo! That's a shame.

Im not a logistician, but small market, I suspect more logistics. For example - having to share transport operators.

That's my plan if my vehicle does not arrive before EOFY - I'll attempt to modify the order to something other than a vanilla white MYLR

can you still modify if final invoice has been issued? I can't find the edit button any more.

4000 Tesla's arrived on one ship last year. Sea transport is not an issue, our ports may be another story.... lol

Can anyone enlighten me on their order to pick-up experince.. when do you get " your car is on the way message." Is it when it's boarded on the boat in China? Or is it when It docks in Australia? Or do you get a edd date when it docks in Australia?

I am picking up my car, Model Y RWD, White paint and black interior with 19" wheels on 10/6 which is this Saturday 9.30 am at Mulgrave. I Ordered on 13/11/22, it was a very long time ago. My Build date was 24 April, but for some reason a week later it updated to 25 April for the build date. I received my VIN on the 5/5/23 and my Invoice around a week and a bit later. My car was on Grand eagle that docked at Melb on 18/5/23 and i got the schedule delivery text on the 26/5 and earliest pickup was 9/6, but i chose 10/6. Pickup for my car will roughly be around 3 weeks from the ship being docked and 2 weeks from the schedule delivery text.

I waited for 210 days from order to pickup. A long wait, but worth it, these final days till pickup feel like ages.

I'm not sure how 4000 one vehicle carrier means sea transport is not the problem.

Will have to ring up and attempt

Just let it go. It's clear enough for most who can employ logical reasoning.

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.

It won't, Shanghai aren't adding HW4 at all yet.

ACT edd changed overnight. RAV date 18/5, think Grand Eagle.., edd now 18/6 to 9/7

Hi Everyone,
I want to give back for keeping me company throughout these months waiting.

OD 28 July 2022
Was on Feb May forever, until one day I received the SMS. 11 months wait.

Took the delivery Yesterday.
Solid Black RWD MY
Black interior 19' Gemini,
Build date April 2023
Vin was available 4/05/2023
Pick up at Port Melbourne.
LFP battery. Car was at 80% charge.

Few points to note (especially if you are leasing):
- Make sure you sort out the leasing documents. Double check that everything is ready to go, Insurance is the most important
- Call Tesla to check the Rego and your license is good to go.
- Once that done, check the VIN for rego (in Victoria, we use the Vicroads rego check site). If you have rego there, thats 95% done. The rest is pick up day.> https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/reg...cle-registration/vehicle-registration-enquiry
- Be Patient. It's worth it.


My car has front and rear USS, Matrix Headlight, HW3, no Mobile Charger, no cargo cover, they give you Screen Wipe cloth also.
The rego plate mount is universal. They check you in, give you a folder with your rego document and vin printed from Vicroads, the tesla wallet with 2 keycards, and a smile.

No blemishes, rattles, build quality is excellent. Better than my previous european cars.
I dont put PPF, been there done that. I want to enjoy the car for me and not the guardian for the next owner. One thing, I put the mud flap immediately before leaving the site. Will do my own Ceramic coating,I heard the Turthe Wax Hybrid is pretty good for 40 bucks.

I will enjoy one of the best cars I own. In my age, not many "stuff" gave me this joy for owning it. The Tesla My is one of the few that does this.

See you on the Model Y owner thread!

ACT edd changed overnight. RAV date 18/5, think Grand Eagle.., edd now 18/6 to 9/7

VIC EDD changed overnight as well. RAV date 5/6. EDD now 17/6 to 4/7

What ships from Shanghai will arrive in Australia in this Month not found in Armacup website?

Reading all the posts/rants on this and Y LR thread, it seems like there are a few unfortunate souls (including yours truly) in NSW/ACT with their car on Grand Eagle that belong in one of the following camps:
1) want delivery before EOFY (to benefit from asset write-off rules)
2) want delivery after EOFY (to benefit from higher LCT threshold)
3) don’t care either way and want car asap

We know that Tesla can’t control port congestion but I do understand (from reading some past posts on this thread) that they do have some control over which cars are transported to delivery centres from the logistics.

So here is what I suggest we do (i.e., those in camp 1 or 2) send a text to Tesla (or call if you have the time to wait) that goes something like this.

Hi Tesla, my order number is RN … I received your email on port congestion. While I understand Tesla can’t do much about it, I would appreciate Tesla prioritising delivery of my car from port to delivery centre before (or after) EOFY to accommodate tax changes impacting my order.

PS - I am not a Tesla employee. Just someone who has been waiting for the model y for almost a year now (switched to LR from Day 1 MYP order). The above is just a suggestion and you can choose to act, ignore or amend. Happy waiting!

VIC EDD changed overnight as well. RAV date 5/6. EDD now 17/6 to 4/7

Qld edd hasn't changed yet, but suspect it will shortly, RAV date same as yours, 5/6, expect Morning Cherry as the carrier...

I only ordered in April, so can't complain about delays.... yet...
But I feel for the guys here that have been delayed months from their original edd.

Sydney ODD 9 Jan, car on Morning crystal waiting to offload in Port Kembla, EDD changed today from 6-27 Jun to June 28 - July 19
