Congrats on the new wheels. A week and change for me still. I take it you found no issues? I haven’t seen anyone here mention anything so hopefully that means China built cars are of a consistent quality.To be honest I don’t think I have gone through a list of things to take delivery of a new car as comprehensive as this. At a dealer you pretty much just take a photo and drive off. It’s great Tesla staff just leaves you alone to spend another hour ticking off the list

Pick up went fairly smoothly today, got there nice and early , then noticed a few water spots around the car, so it went out the back for a detail, no trouble at all very impressed.
1/2 hr later drove off car really sparkled in the sun. I went and had lunch and whilst there noticed some hard white spots below the rear window, it could have been left over from the polish or maybe delivery adhesive tape. I don't really know, anyway went back to the delivery centre again it was no trouble for them to tidy it up. Really impressed by the lack of fuss.
So I drove off happy with a sparkling car and there is three months EAP sitting in the app and I guess after ten days we will see if they add a further 6 months?
My car today seemed pretty solid and once I put the front passenger seat back the rattle from the seatbelt disappeared, it sounded like it was coming from the door pocket but was just the plastic bit on the seatbelt either hitting the plastic on the B pillar OR the seat itself hard to tell as I was driving.
Have not noticed any issues yet but only done 50km just enough to get the cameras calibrated.
The day has finally arrived, ordered September 25, pickup Mulgrave. More than a little bit excited
Thanks! Yep no issues found. Just a bit dirty lower down the car. The car cleaner there was only too happy to spot clean bits that I found on the body as well. Interesting note was a Tesla person there checking all paint imperfections on all dark coloured cars (anything other than white) and he was picking up quite a few and sending the cars to be polished out. So if you didn’t order a white car, just look through the paintwork properly. There was an initial rattle at the seat belts just out of the dealer. But I been driving it around for a few days now and the rattle is gone and everything is beautiful silence.
Congrats! What ship did yours arrive on? How long between ship docking and actual delivery? Just trying to get a sense of when lapis arrow and walrus ace vehicles still start getting delivery!
After all the trials and tribulations I have experienced through the GC debacle, I finally picked up my MY RWD yesterday. Was supposed to be this afternoon, but got a call yesterday that it was ready, and after all this time, I couldn't wait another day. So far have just got cameras calibrated and done a quick "Jolt" charge, so I knew what to do. Very impressed so far and pick up was very pleasant. After ordering August 26, selling my Ford Ranger Wildtrak in November, riding a 155cc scooter from November till now, I can finaly drive my car.
Thanks to all for their kind words and support. Hope you all get your cars soon and there are no further hurdles.

Indeed my friend - no call - they don’t tell me anything anyway - ETA best estimate
They wont call. You will have to call and hassle them
Theben is supposed to dock tomorrow
originally Glovis Caravel then changed to the Morning Crystal. the boat was at port on Australia day, not sure when it actually unloaded
I had my pick up appointment of MYLR at 09:30 am tomorrow (Alexandria). Just received a call from Tesla saying due to a transportation issue the car won’t be ready by 09:30am. I was asked if 02:30 pm tomorrow would be OK. I had no choice but to accept that. I am not holding my breath though. A lot can happen between now and 2:30 pm tomorrow

.Does my vin showing up on RAV indicate anything on delivery timing. It was just added today!
Nice!
They must have finally got another site up and running after they closed Port Melb.
Deliveries should come thick and fast now!
