Interesting Twitter thread @electricfuture5
The new part for me here was the vin assignment to be on arrival in Australia.

“Okay this is going to be a long one. I had a Tesla manager call me about my #model3AU cancellation & I also pressed him for more information on other 3 news. All as I was told but as always could be wrong
1/ I wanted to cancel because I ordered with Fog lights and now the 3 won't ship with them. - He said he tried to match my config with fogs but no SR+'s are coming with them into Oz and the rest of the world going forward. If it's like the S/X plastic will cover where fog light should be. I still think there is a claim of false advertising here, it was on the Tesla site for a month after all.
2/ Brought up that a $70k car not coming with carmats is penny pinching & I understand it's a Tesla but if I take my 70k somewhere else I'll get a lot morethan car mats.
3/ He confirmed the #model3AU WILL come with a WALL CHARGER & PORTABLE CHARGER. Could not confirm if it would come with a type 2 standalone cable.
4/ People who ordered performance with premium connectivity before the config update will NOT get unlimited, it will
limited to 1 year as all other Tesla's. ( Saying that he said Tesla haven't charged for it YET)
5/ Your VIN will be assigned when it arrives in Australia not when it comes off factory floor.
5.5 Also sounded like reservation holders WILL get first priority. ( He could not give
me my delivery date as he did not have it on hand, he asked me to email)
6. He warmly welcomed my feedback and said all he sent to headoffice in US, the more people complain the more it throws weight behind an issue. If there's something you are not happy with. LET TESLA KNOW.
7/ Mentioned Tesla FSD price is more expensive DURING purchase than after, which is the opposite of what it used to be. Tesla should offer an option to purchase separately to avoid the LCT Tax because it'll have gone up twice before the 3 is even delivered. He said they did
something similar to this in the past and added things after delivery but the tax office aren't too happy with that, however he could make sense to delay FSD increase for Australia so he'll take that feedback.
All things considered I'm holding my order for now... /END.”
