[houdini]

does anyone know if the Model X is still on display at Chadstone. I am finally going to go have a look.

Yes, the blue left hand drive one is there....

The screen shots below are from July/August 2015, is this the process Tesla still use?

So over on the UK MX thread people are talking about estimated delivery dates on their myTesla. Ive never had one. Is that normal for the Aus mytesla site?
At first i thought it was because they literally had no idea when they would be built, then once built it never came through so i figured that was because of the lack of government approval.
Now, i really wonder if they enable this field for aus at all?

I've had two orders in the last 6 months and in neither case has a delivery date been shown in MyTesla.

Currently I see:

What's Next?
Your Tesla has been built and is in transit from the factory. Learn about your Tesla.

@Blue heaven GUI has changed but essentially the same. So no delivery date estimates for aussies. Interesting

On one hand a delivery estimate is useful so the buyer knows when to move on their current car or other planning, on the other hand it must be a nightmare for delivery specialists dealing with the factory and Government red tape.

I doubt I"ll ever own a Model X but I'm almost as excited as all the buyers waiting for their X to be delivered, its really going to grab the publics attention.

semi-related. I can confirm after a recent chat with Tesla that if you place an order by the 15th the car will start the build before the April supercharging deadline. It was a solid commitment. So as long as you get an order in in the next 7 days you will have a car built before the April 15 date, get free supercharging for life and theoretically get your car before the end of April.

So, the last I has heard from Tesla, they had told me to expect a walk through date of 13 Jan. Today I asked for an update and was told that they were expecting to take delivery of the car at the end of the month. And that I would the car shortly thereafter.

Also, they had no information on homologation but I suspect this may be the reason for the delay, assuming the car shipped when they said it did.

Hi, my delivery specialist has a tentative date of 24 Jan for a walkthrough (in Melb) but like the rest of us, doesn't seem to exactly know whether that will be delivery day or it will be the week after, but he seems reasonably confident that we are now inside a month (and having waited 27 months already, I'm being philosophical about a few more weeks).

It wasn't yesterday, but the delivery date is now date set (to avoid paparazzi I'm saying no more ) and not too long now as the vehicles are being shipped to each city shortly.

I test drove a Model X at Martin Place this morning. It drove like a big Model S. It definitely feels like an upgrade because it has the doors and a couple of additional settings over the S. I think I want one...

Uh oh, I'll not be booking a test drive if that's the feeling you're left with!!!

The worst bit (from when I had a drive) is I want one but I want to keep the S too.

Agreed. I'd like both too. The S seems more fun because it's smaller and slightly more agile but the X seems more practical for a family. In my case two cars would be excessive as we barely drive one car due to where we live in the inner city.

 

[ICUDoc]

Yeah, it does seem fun. I also like the funky seats-on-pillars.
Nearly bought one but the extra bucks and weight slowed me down. As it were.

 

[Homer]

Oh and there's also a price rise coming sometime tomorrow, at least for the X.

 

[*KT*]

Indeed, i have my date as well. Day after you @OzSimon . Very excited

 

[OzSimon]

Only 4 sleeps now....

Truck loads of model X's rolling in @ Melbourne service center

 

[Murbs]

Hopefully there's a certain Titanium X getting ready to transit through Melbourne

 

[houdini]

Where are these X's! Come on people. Are you too busy driving them around?
