Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[JAthano]

Haven't seen an update but EDD is still showing December 08 - December 29

I'm sydney based and my edd hasn't changed either December 11 till Jan 1. I've sent them a text message maybe get some clarity as to what's happening. Cause yesterday's emailed made it sound like 2024 was a more realistic eta

Excellent thank you. So ~ 2 weeks from the text

It can vary quite a bit depending on whether your car was first off the boat or last. They all have to be import processed and then it takes quite a few trips of the car carriers to bring them to the delivery centre.

Turns out the car that I've recently been assigned to was on the Morning Cello which arrived to Port Kembla weeks ago (I thought it was on the Don Juan). Just got off the phone with Tesla to ask about scheduling delivery - they said the VIN transfer has been complete and it's initiated a request for logistics from PK to Alexandria (Sydney) - once the logistics has been scheduled to Alexandria then apparently the text goes out to the owner to schedule in a pickup. He said it could happen any day now.

He also mentioned there's another ship that's come in the meantime so there's apparently a lot of cars there.

Another one leaves the Stinkship watch. Which one did you end up choosing?

Also, this other ship, any more details? Perhaps I can attempt a swap again.

Actually now that I think about it, the Tesla rep Jacob said that they would have more news for us "in the next 24 hours". That call happened yesterday afternoon, and the Don Juan has now berthed at PK.

*Extremely hopeful speculation, they're doing their best to reassign cars for us from that shipment*

Haha, don't get our hopes up!

 

[Winnieblue]

I know I'm sorry I'm really grasping at straws here for any good news...

That’s good to know. Do you know if Tesla will proactively reassign cars (wishfully thinking) or we have to chase them up to demand we get reassigned? In speaking to them before I thought all the inventory as on the Glovis and they had nothing left on these two other ships.

Oh ok… sorry that was just your speculation! *Hopes dashed again*

To at least answer your question, it's both ways. People on this forum who had cars on the GC have had Tesla call them and reassign a car. This probably happens when their exact spec or very similar is available.
For the rest of us, we have to inquire ourselves. I know that there is a RWD Silver/White/19" and a Red/Black/20" both available in Sydney as that's what was offered to me.

To dash any hopes, I just got an SMS saying they had a look through the incoming inventory and no cars with my spec or similar are available.

I am FOREVER stuck on this f**** Stinkship.

The squeeky wheel gets the oil.
or in this case, the smelly ship gets the tesla

It might be quicker to just move onto the GC and live there. At least you might get to drive your car! Wonder if anything really does go in international waters?

I called Alexandria yesterday arvo (late) and the only option they gvae me was the siver/white/19.. :-(... I would have 'maybe' taken the red one (I realise it's extra $$), but it was probably already gone.

btw, those doing Novated don't qualify for the NSW 3k rebate anyway, so no issues with going over the threshold - thought I'd mention it as it has come up in a few posts earlier.

 

[Winnieblue]

Haha no one wants the Silver/white one

At this rate might not be a bad idea for us who have cars on the stinky ship to get a video tour organised through tesla

 

[dronus]

The silver/white might as well get loaded back onto SS Stinky McStinkface by a chinook and taken back to Shanghai.

I think silver/white has already been taken.

 

[MrMister]

They are actually lashed down. There are a number of videos on youtube showing this, and also mentioned on the Hyundai Glovis website. The little circle things on the floor are D-clips to attach the lashings to. It would be very irresponsible to rely on the brakes out at sea.

Also, commercial shipping companies do NOT take smooth seas.. they take the route most economical.. as that is what it's all about. Lashing costs next to nothing compared to a longer route + extra crew time costs.

My original post was more about how the Tesla's are tied down given they don't have the typical tow/anchor points an ICE car has - hence why I was assuming the tyres are strapped?

Someone who is finally over the wait

That car is going to be famous
