This looks likely, and the change to free white most likely resulted in a heap of orders being changed to this colour. Therefore P3+ Pearl White (my spec) are most likely going to be in demand for a significant period of time.
Me as a non-reservation holder keep getting kicked down the list. I get the priority for reservation holders however I also feel they've had 3 months to place their order at some point my order needs to stop being pushed back.
I've been a reservation holder since April 2016 and confirmed order of P3+ pearl white, black interior with no change since 31 may 2019 and still no word. Getting very frustrated.
I understand that it doesn't turn for you, more just if it ignores the fact you're indicating and tries to push you back into your lane that is problematic.
Auto lane change is also not enable in Australian FSD.
They are just starting now - I had a call Saturday for Melbourne delivery. Day 1 res, P3+. Delivery for Grand Final Friday holiday (Sept 27).
Good luck - hopefully your call is coming soon!

I would skip both of those and get the AliExpress one. Much cheaper, still good quality. Save yourself about $2-300
Jetcharge and EVSE are both a ripoff and buy their gear from China anyways, often from the same manufacturers. They say they "test" them but honestly these factories are TUV and UL and ISO certified. Not some rinky-dink backwoods place.

The author has requested no attribution. Not an official source, but remarkably close to the cars registered in each state which I published on post 8924 (Teslas registered are only up to 20/12/18 in this reconciliation). On post 8931 I suggested some reasons for the slightly lower number registered than imported.
If you have a delivery date (or have taken delivery), don't forget to update our VIN tracker spreadsheet.
As of last Saturday I am 35th in the queue for my model in Australia. I'd like to see this drop over the next couple of weeks.
#VINLess but not complaining

Sorry @1st in Line but the longest wait for a Tesla was a Melbourne Model S owner who order the car the first day Model S was announced in 2010 and even waited for a Dual Motor that we’re not available until mid 2015 in Australia. So close to 5 years.
Most of my cables I have got from JetCharge and without exception they are quality stuff.
I have used the J1772 many times and it has never given any issues.
I also have the adapter cables for the Type1 UMC and used that to go to Alice Springs last year.
More recently I purchased a Type 2 to Type 2 and have used only a few times but it has worked well at the full 22Kw rate that my car supports and it hardly got warm.
Yes you can get stuff direct from China but I like to support Australian business, and they are closer by when there is a problem.
Looks like the Stealth Performance floodgates have opened. Just got THE CALL:
27Sep delivery, P3- Midnight Silver, 4882xx, day 1 Res, day 1 Order, Macquarie finance, Sydney pickup.
If my wife asks, this is definitely not more exciting than the arrival of our children...
