Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[Priit]

On Tuesday, they will have a RHD 3 at 'the farm' at Byron - possibly see that in Brisbane late in the week.

I can hop through Brisbane either Friday or Saturday next week to have a look. If I can get a test drive, I could take a day off work for that

I am able to get in, although it does appear a bit slow I will say.

It was slow. And I got in eventually. But sometimes my ordered car changed to the default blue. Or my order didn't show up at all but the options to order other products.

Last time this happened, they added the long range.

Well that's promising!
Fingers crossed, although I would say that the standard blue may just be a default if there is a failure to load the custom image, or if the database drops out or something to keep a consistent experience.
In saying that, this sort of stuff does happen when they are performing upgrades and they have an outage on one of their systems that is not highly available.

On another note....I can't update my profile picture. Is this some sort of upgrade once I've been in the game for so long or something?

You get to choose an Avatar when you’ve made about 10 posts I think.

I just accidentally altered my order (my fault, I thought I was reviewing new orders page not my actual order) and am now going to be at the back of the queue. FFS!!!!

Did you actually change it? give them a call/.

 

[Grenadine]

I changed nothing. The only thing that changed was the date of the contract. I have been trying to get through to their call line but it is constantly engaged. I feel like an idiot.

Tested: Tesla Model 3

So you clicked through all the steps and also clicked through to order confirmation? Oh no... fingers crossed nothing changes for you!

Stalking warehouses and viewing your order online will not make your car arrive even a moment sooner.....just sayin

So just under 1k TM3s arriving on the ~16th August. They all coming with an older firmware and will take few days to get updated, charged before dispatched to delivery centers on trucks. Looks like some token deliveries end of August are possible after all.

Fantastic! What's your source?

My guess is that they're waiting for the official launch next week before they even think about starting to call people.

I can’t disclose but have certain trust that the info is correct.

This would make the ship Cap Capricorn. Due Auckland Aug 12. Due Sydney Aug 16.

That is up to 333 containers, if 3 fit in each. It seems like a lot. It was a 13 hour unload/load time, and other cargo unloading/loading.

Dunno about the exact ship (and actual number of cars is vague on purpose but a big shipment over 500 cars). Good luck to all the folks waiting for your order. Hope yours is on this first delivery.

I think we all appreciate the heads up.
