I hope it's not late 2023, I will probably move to another EV by then.Late 2023 at least according to this article, but who really knows.

Tesla Sends Shanghai Workers to California for Factory Boost
Tesla Inc. is sending engineers and production staff from its recently upgraded Shanghai factory to its plant in Fremont, California, in a bid to boost production at the US facility, according to people familiar with the plans.

Freemont is where the X and S Plaids get built, so they are targeting a 50% annual increase in deliveries. I am hoping this helps with Australia deliveries.

Sending workers to help on the line, or training them? Interesting....
Tesla Model S and Model X Plaid approach China and Europe, is Australia next?
Tesla's largest electric passenger cars are drawing closer to launches in Europe and China, after two years out of showrooms. But when will Australia follow?

Yikes, if this is true, I don't think I can wait that long for the Plaid. I will most likely swap to the EQE 53AMG. Lose 1 second but I can live with that.

All this Twitter nonsense has left a sour taste for me. I mean, I really like Tesla, have many shares in the company but another year or 2 wait for the Plaid is something that I can't stomach. Probably as I am getting older, I have less patience.
Yeah, well, no Plaid for me. The EQE will be out around 1st quarter 2023 so I will be going that route.
Plaid is in Europe, so as they say, 6 to 12 months from now for Australian orders.

Where oh where are the X’s…. like others with orders for well over a year .. now looking at changing our plans. imagine how much money the company could have made.
Yep I was thinking about that today. I'm likely going to cancel my order and was thinking, ah well, one order isn't going to send much of a message. But then it kind of hit me that when one order is close to a quarter of a million dollars.... that's a big chunk of money they're not getting. I suppose they don't have to bother making the car in the first place so it's not really that full amount, but it'd still be a lot of cash they're missing out on. I'm sure I won't be the only one giving up on this either.

Bear in mind that whoever you spoke to has absolutely no idea.
I would take that as a minumum.
Probably not much given the car market in Australia and the cost of the cars. It's a very small niche market that has an order for an S or X.
Sell a couple of Y's and they've made what they would selling an S or X
Tesla Model S & X Plaid for Customer Deliveries Arrive in Europe
The first carrier vessel loaded with Tesla Model S and Model X Plaid for customer deliveries has arrived in Europe. The first deliveries are scheduled for the near future.
www.tesmanian.com
Hoping Next Q1 or Q2 we get the RHD deliveries as well
Model S's now spotted in Europe. I think we're about 6 months away. Given the market over there for 'larger' cars. Furthermore on a slight tangent point, I'm speculating on price adjustment of the S in about 18 months time once the market is saturated, the price gap between the 3/Y and S/X is significant.. Currently the lower battery Model S's on the second hand market pricings are really falling. Why pay more for a 3-5 year old car when you can get a brand new one for the same.
If this is the case, it's probably close to the estimates. I am torn though; I really like the EQE 53AMG and currently I am in the mindset of whichever arrives first I will get.
