Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[aroth]

Does Tesla use magic caller-ids in QLD? Phone reports a missed call, although it never rang (not that uncommon, reception sucks here). The number is listed as '3673345'. Weird because that's not enough numbers for...pretty much aywhere. No message left.

A number of people on the NZ Model 3 Facebook group have delivery appointments for mid next week in Auckland

Yeah I take back my slow day statement. Quite a few calls for delivery next week now, it seems. Just nobody on here yet!

Many do seem to be very early reservations, although a bit of a smattering of random, too.

Booked in for delivery 30th August in Adelaide, it's finally happening guy's!

Unsurprising given the supposed desire to minimise in-transit vehicles and maximise deliveries by the end of each quarter. I wonder though, if one misses a September delivery, will one have to wait until December... Surely there can't be that many Aus/NZ sales, and they wouldn't just stop delivering to us for two months would they, while they sell 3rd-quarter vehicles in the States where they can be delivered in the quarter. Surely!

Mine's the second-last order in the tracking sheet. :-( Sitting on "We will shortly upload a copy of your final invoice...".

Tesla have said they are trying to unwind the end of quarter delivery wave. It still happened last month but there are signs they are slowly evening things out. Since we are more of a ripple than a wave, I expect we will see deliveries to keep coming through as order numbers justify them.

Even more 3's have been spotted by Facebook people!

I had a home delivery too today.

Chill guys, just the EV wraps for the console. Small moments to celebrate before the big blue comes home
No call from delivery specialist yet though. Not sure if anyone from Wellington heard from Tesla yet.

Just had call from Melbourne Delivery Specialist with TENTATIVE pickup date of 2/9. Date will be confirmed 7 days before when I get Final Invoice.

It is a bit perplexing what is going on in NZ, there is evidence of quite a few cars in Auckland but next to nothing on the delivery front or any real contact from Tesla. On the Oz side of things they are booking appointments through to the end of September.

For Tesla purposes NZ is just a state in Aus and the delivery team deals with sorting out the larger states first, they will get to this little extra state soon

NZ is having many deliveries organised now, Tesla staff have software updates applied in the mornings it seems.

Actually I guess a fair few of them live/work in OZ so deal with NZ in the morning and Oz in the pm

Tesla NZ have told EV News that deliveries start 23rd August.

And meanwhile, on Radio TMC, it's time for some music. I'd like to dedicate this next one to all those lovely staff working in Tesla's delivery department in Australia and New Zealand.

Woo just got off the phone with the delivery specialist! Invoice today, delivery next week. Random delivery appointment will appear in account but doesn't mean anything until ds calls back.

Yay! grats!

Range anxiety is nothing in comparison to delivery anxiety!
Come' on Tesla. Give us a date already.

 

[Random206]

OMG Tesla!

How long does it take to call meeeee!!!!

I'm more than happy to call them if that helps, I don't mind paying the phone call and the flag fall fee. Hell I'll send them Morse code if they want it.

 

[maveric74]

I would love to make a trip from Sydney to Perth and up to Shark Bay.

I have dreamt of going to Shark Bay for about 30 years...

.... and I would just like to prove to myself that so-called "range anxiety" is a load of hogwash.

This sounds...EPIC!

With deliveries on the way and cars on trucks, It may be a good time to remind Melbourne spotters that Tesla purchased a 695sqm warehouse at 69 Cremorne St in early 2018. They may be sending cars here for storage. It's a short drive from the current Service center on Church St.

WOW, you're like a 16 year old detective....I love it!

Do we have eyes in the area? Who am I kidding....of course we do!

 

[maveric74]

Tesla, it's a date..

I'm sure the VIN will now disappear, the final invoice will take another week and delivery will get pushed back by another week in turn causing my anxiety levels to rise further than they have ever been

Fingers crossed this happens for real.

Vin now visible, matches hidden. Nominal delivery 28th.
