Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[archerwin]

"existing inventory" could still be on a boat, but not yet assigned (to a customer). You should find out soon which boat that is - probably the Glovis Caravel which is currently in Brisbane.

Thanks! Actually got an email that my car is in the Glovis Caravel too. So I'll be joining the GC watch party as well.

Is there any Brisbane based GC watchers who unfortunately didn't get theirs on the initial unload? If they get the text message, then we can raise hopes for PK and Melbourne.

I'm in Brissie so will update if anything comes through. My EDD did change from '29 Nov - 20 Dec' to '3 Dec - 24 Dec'.

Hi, just got a message that a VIN has been assigned to my order. I ordered off their existing Inventory. Based on your experience how long do you need to wait and what other processes are involved? I have been assigned 24 Dec - 14 Jan Delivery window. Not sure if it will happen earlier knowing the car is in their inventory now. I'm in Melbourne.

One more thing, Is a Type 2 to Type 2 cable useful?

thank you!

If you are in Melbourne and you now have a delivery date of 24 Dec to 14 Jan, it seems strange that I am in Adelaide and have a delivery date of 18 Dec to 8 Jan. This all makes no sense to me. I thought the cars were all offloaded in Melbourne and then trucked across to ADL

Maybe because I just ordered 2 days ago? Not sure

You might have gotten very lucky on the tail end of this ongoing saga.

Did you order RWD blue with black-white interior?

What's strange is that I'm I'm Melbourne and EDD is before yours.

I guess they can unload the cars not the concrete platform? Otherwise it looks like it’s a dedicated grain terminal.

that just means the 'movement' from the anchorage area to fisherman's island is complete.

The website says that the grain terminal can accommodate car offloading but depends on availability and the ship. I can't think of any other reason the GC would be here. As mentioned, they wouldn't do another inspection or fumigation at a grain terminal.

I don't mean to be a negative nancy, but the grain terminal doesn't look like it can physically unload cars.. I think it may be a staging area for vehicle carriers - to wait their turn. All we need is a stiff breeze and it'll drift tot he vehicle unloading area.

Can someone in Brisbane give it a little push?

 

[Tony Soprano]

I assume an inspection could happen there, and I'm still worried that's all this actually is.

I'm thinking we'll still just see it head back out off the coast after this. Hope I'm wrong, though!

I guess if the ship had it's ass pointing east, it could potentially extend the ramp onto the vehicle unloading area.. but based on the ship tracking website, it's pointing the wrong way...

I guess we wait and see. The fact that it hasn't got a planned departure date makes me think it's an inspection.. though the fact that at fisherman's may mean that they 'expect' it to pass?

the waiting game continues

Pickup for me this morning but if I’m honest, not much wind left in the sails after the wait.

Yeah the grain port didn’t look like a vehicle unload location

The positive signs I've seen (not based in any knowledge).
1. The port site had it categorised as "REM" which is: REM = Removal movement, this is where a ship moves from one location within the port to another, for example may move from one berth to another for loading of different goods
2. Port website states: The Grain Berth can accommodate some car carrier vessels. This berth can be used for motor vehicles when available and suitable for the vessel.

Somebody who lives near by the port, please drive there and see if there are any cars being unloaded? lol
