It is worse! Today the mailman brought vinyl wrap door handle stickers the same colour as my paint. A few days ago he brought some tins of plasti dip to black out the chrome around the windows.

When I told my wife that people were tracking ship schedules from San Francisco in anticipation of Model 3 deliveries she said “they have too much time on their hands” - I reassured her that it was all being done in everybody’s work time so it’s fine...
I think the latest VIN registrations for 1160 RHD vehicles are for Aust/NZ and you might see a VIN assigned to your account in the next few days:

Yes. sfgate.com are quoting it departing today. Here is the source Ship traffic, July 12. A tug is nearby now so it will depart in a few hours for Belgium.
Glovis Champion is scheduled to arrive to SFO on July 21. It is currently near the Panama Canal.

Can someone please check the source code in their order page? To see if they’ve been assigned a VIN. Some people on twitter noticed that they had from this new batch..

No change to the source code in my account. I'll be watching much closer now. Once I have a VIN, I'll be tracking the ship its on using the
Wallenius Wilhelmsen website, as I've done for all my previously ordered cars.
@Ranu, I'm one of "those" people... But my wife knows it and just accepts it now.

Great exposition & pretty eye opening
You also have the common issue of front bumper scraping from lowered suspension at road entries/driveways with even relatively shallow angles

Australian/ NZ Configurator has CHANGED!!
Premium Connectivity (1 year included):
Looks like they are now restricting it to 1 year free then have you have to pay a yearly fee
Homelink Location Aware Garage Door Opener
Now also removed from the AU/NZ configurator. This changed back on April 1 for most countries but stayed in Australia up until a week or 2 ago. It's a US$300 option elsewhere and now here as well.
So do all existing orders placed before they changed it get honoured? Fairly certain the Australian Consumer Law wouldn't allow them to change some of the advertised features and not honour it but I have not doubt they will try to screw us over regardless.

People in USA who ordered before Tesla removed it from the standard features list have taken delivery and Tesla has installed it at a service center for no cost.
