This is interesting. I live in QLD, however not SEQ, rather NQ. I live 1000km further away from Sydney than the distance between Adelaide and Sydney. If lead time dictates how early contact is, surely I would have been contacted by now? One explanation I have considered is NQ probably has low volumes and hasn't been considered.

Well, yes and no. It's not like CHESS here in Oz. They are held in trust for you but not in your name as a shareholder and as I understand your rights are limited. It used to be (and still maybe) that the securities that the custodian holds for you can be used by them as security for their purposes. If they go broke you are only insured to the limited amount you state above. There is more risk than physically having them like CHESS but you get all the monetary benefits of owning them. You may be in trouble if there is a GFC that doesn't recover so well. If you hold in USD then you would hedge long AUD if the AUD strengthens. Again - DYOR

... as we are waiting for our Model 3s and for the electrification of Australian road transport, Denmark is moving ahead doing the same for sea transport:

I am not sure exactly how Danish people would pronounce "Ellen". The slightly nordic tongue might make it sound very much like "Elon".

Just rung insure my Tesla in NZ, she said I was number 49 ringing for a Model 3 quote. Some more fuel for the speculation fire on the "how many model 3s in NZ" 
Likewise. I have a 2018 100D model S and overall my usage has been 202Wh/km, which gives a range of approx 500km. My driving has been about 50/50 highway/city, but the range is nothing like the stated NEDC. Perhaps if I drove really slowly and took 5 minutes to accelerate to 60km/h I'd get the NEDC figures....
With the LR Model 3 I reckon you'll be getting about 450-480km

So it looks like NZ may see its first deliveries as early as the end of this week, confirmed one next week.

Where did you get this info from? I can't see that in the spreadsheet. Although I can see some confirmed VINs here in Aus, I'm hoping they aren't mistakenly confirmed.

Fair Dinkum Tesla
Model S charging from 32amp single phase- 32-34kms of range per hour in TYPICAL setting, this is realistic and achievable on most occasions. 41-44kms of range per hour in RATED setting, unrealistic and only achievable when all conditions are perfect.
I understand the model 3 only has a rated range setting, yes it will charge at 50kms of range per hour but good luck to model 3 owners who expect to get 50kms from 7.36kwh when it's needed most.
Staring at phone, willing it to ring. Not working.
Also in Denmark - Sweden

So Elon just tweeted that there isn’t a FSD price increase for another 4 to 8 weeks when v10 is released. Is it possible to cancel FSD on an already made order and not lose your place in the queue?
Might be Beneficial to see if you can cancel it, then add after delivery as to avoid LCT.

Now, I don't wan't to panic anyone, but have you checked no pirates are in the Auckland area? Kota seems to be headed for southern Chile with a possible load of Teslas.
Just missed a call from Tesla. Hope they call me back today. Just take my money!!!
Being in Canberra I've had contact from both Sydney and Melbourne offices by email. Had a VIN, lost a VIN. Waiting for the invoice, and now yet another call.
Good to see they are calling people.
