True, but they will want as many as possible delivered by the end of the quarter (September). It’s all about hitting the quarterly numbers, to appease the shareholders.

That works against us I’m afraid. Tesla are far better off selling to the US. They get their cash a day or two after production.
Yeah, remember when we all fell for the order page opening? Not again.
The tesla delivery specialists definately know what boat the cars are on and what date they arrive. Getting them to share that information is impossible though. I think they enjoy the sadistic side.
Paul Maric just tweeted a blurb kind of confirming what we all already know. Also, when I spoke to Tesla last week the rep said there would be white interior vehicles on the ship. But I get the feeling that no one knows anything, and if they do they aren't talking, presumably to avoid disappointment.
Basically what I need is the delivery date so I can start arranging things from my end. Because the car is being registered in ACT and Tesla don't have a location there, they have offered that I can pick up in Sydney or have it delivered in ACT. I think I will just pick it up in Sydney to save time. But need to register it first in ACT and bring the numberplates with me, in order to do that need the final invoice etc! Argh, so much waiting.
You can get a temporary permit in NSW. It is limited to only be used for the route you specify. I’ve done this several times Melb to Adelaide. Cops pulled me over once due to no plates. Showed them the permit and it was all ok. The car dealer arranged the temporary permit for me as they would normally arrange the rego.
Yes and no. Working backwards, let's say that Tesla wants the car delivered by the 30th of September so they can book the revenue. That means that the last ship to arrive for orders in Australia would be either the Melina, or the ANL Tongala - the Debussy is too tight for NZ, and too late for Australia. So the last day for production to be loaded onto the ship for delivery here before the end of the quarter would be the 17th of August, maybe the 23rd of August (though having just one or two business days to clear customs and hand over the vehicle is cutting things exceedingly fine, so I'm going to say not the ANL Tongala). Give a couple of days' lead time for production, and that means final orders for delivery in September would probably be no later than the 15th of August. (We'll find out how accurate my guess is in a couple of weeks.
)So that means that production in the latter half of the quarter would be for the USA and Canada; production in the first half of the quarter for the rest of the world. (Ballpark.) At least until demand has settled and they no longer need to manage their quarterly cash flow in that sort of way.
I'm hoping that my car (LR AWD) will be on the Cap Capricorn or - with luck - the Seoul Express, but realistically I suspect it will be on the Brotonne Bridge, given that my order was placed on the 17th of July. We'll see.
Agreed. Good analysis. I have heard it twice now (Paul Maric and Tesla Tom from The Farm visit today both said the same thing - 1 batch August. 1 batch September.Yes and no.

The 2 vins we know rule out Seoul if this indicative of the bigger vin range.
Cap Capricorn and Brotonne Bridge are good choices. Brotonne had a long 2 day load time. The loads have not been that long - normally 12-24 hours. Ship tracker uodated Public - Google Drive

Long time lurking here and learning
Been waiting since model 3 was announced
Visited NZ store to check out M3 a few weeks after it arrived in NZ
more waiting...
ordered p3- 31/5/19
Changed to p3+ 03/06/19
Getting used to waiting....
Visited the M3 in the store a few more times, felt a bit strange like some sort of imposter
after all this time and now actually being a finally a Tesla owner ....sort of, nearly, all most
11 July txt Thanks for placing your order, would you like finance with that model 3
2nd August txt your model 3 is nearly here...
Tesla app playing up yesterday got excited thought something was happening
back to normal today
6 August checked Tesla account yet again
yes! finally something changed time to enter delivery details
Completed all fields rego, payment etc. edit car gone
wooo!!
searched source code
no VIN for you!....noooo, more waiting
Dono what I'm going to do once the car is finally here and all the waiting / forum stalking / tracking following strange twitter posts about ships / tracking random ships across the globe/ obsessing over VIN numbers is finally over
Guess I'll have to order more stuff from Taptes to fill the void, and substitute with tracking the
Chinese post and constant refreshing google translate.
