Hopefully the Mods will allow this small indulgence on the behalf of the community.
I just felt that this day was worthy of it's on thread.

I know most of the world is probably focused on Cyber Texas... but we in Australia know this day is truely monumental for more important reasons.
I'm anointing it #ChuqDay


@Chuq we expect extensive photos of the collection, arrival and detailed experiences.

Lazydesi that time isn't exactly confirmed.. It's 5-10 minutes immediately after taking delivery by Chuq...

Model 3 is not delivered to @Chuq.

@Chuq is delivered to Model 3.

 

[Vostok]

@Chuq might be the final person in the world who reserved on 31/3/16 to take delivery of a Model 3.

Monumental!

Tesla should mint a brass plaque in recognition.

Chuq's had some stop/start situations and changes of mind.. waiting for Model Y etc until eventually deciding to go for the Model 3 he has now

I’m definitely checking out the Y‘s page tomorrow. What time tomorrow did you say

 

[Chuq]

What a day!

The last few hours I have been flat out dealing with an immediate family member's positive Covid test and running round sorting out things related to that. (Short version, I'm not a close contact or in isolation, so I'm free to drive around still!)

Good news, I got some time driving around, bad news, I'm exhausted... but full updates to come over the weekend!

Meanwhile, at Tesla HQ:
Elon: "Have you delivered @Chuq's Model 3 yet?"
Minion: "Yes sir. He took delivery today."
Elon: "Phew. That's a relief. That's the last Model 3 order finally fulfilled. Now we can get on with the Y, Cybertruck and Roadster!"

 

[aegidius]

Someone on Whirlpool is reporting that they have actually got an order in when the page appeared briefly. It's getting scary close. Still no LR though dammit.

Congratulations, but now you will never win the AEVA trophy

Haha.. you mean the Glen George Trophy? Yeah, that is definitely more of an i-Miev/Leaf owner thing!
