Probably just trying to convince them to drop the res and get an S now. Last year I spoke to someone from Tesla displaying an S and he said not to expect X till 2017 and 3 till 2019-2020, why sell what you don't have.

Someone in the UK, who has reserved a Model ☰, was told by someone at Tesla that a production run of RHD is schedule for the 1st Q of 2018. If it's true, I would hope it would include the orders from Australia and NZ.
The only offical word from Tesla on Model 3 deliveries is that all current reservation holders as of October will be completed before Mid 2018 worldwide. That is displayed on the website for millions of people to see - "Delivery estimate for new reservations is mid 2018 or later."
Further to the above re LHD Hong Kong deliveries in late 2017, I heard from someone involved in setting up the New Zealand office that RHD deliveries will start in late 2018. <sigh> this seems realistic...Tesla President Jon McNeill did have something to say in Hong Kong about a month ago. See here.
Finally, he also commented on the Model 3 and said the vehicle would arrive in Hong Kong in late 2017, which would be surprising considering it’s a right-hand drive market and Tesla’s right-hand drive vehicles have historically followed left-hand drive production by about a year.
This little titbit didn't gain any traction as news, maybe it was a slip of the tongue/keyboard, but it fuels the optimist in me.
I thought that Elon Musk a few months ago said that the first RHD models would be built and shipped mid next year (Which in EM's world could mean anything from June to September)? It was in a response to a question on Twitter.Further to the above re LHD Hong Kong deliveries in late 2017, I heard from someone involved in setting up the New Zealand office that RHD deliveries will start in late 2018. <sigh> this seems realistic...
people are pretty sure that Tesla will hit 200,000 US deliveries (cumulative total for all models since Tesla's inception) in early January 2018.
If they cross the 200k threshold later than about 4-5 weeks into the quarter they might hold off and switch to international deliveries for the remaining 7-8 weeks, and yes it will probably be Canada that benefits (since Canada will take identical versions to USA). Then it's back to Plan A.This can work in the non-US favour. If they look like hitting it in (example) late Jan, they can stop at 199,990 deliveries, concentrate on non-US until 31 March, and then deliver US vehicles solidly for a full six months before the benefit decreases.
The downside being - "non-US" will almost certainly be Canada, at a stretch Europe - non Australia.
No surprise there, from the self-confessed News "Limited".Melbourne model 3 reservation holder says he's happy to wait somehow news corp puts a spin on it,
