Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[Vedaprime]

Looks like it's a container ship... hmmm that would take really long to pack a so many Tesla's in containers... Why does everyone think the cars are on Cap Capricorn ?

I could go on a long post, but really, look at the last 192 pages (well, maybe the last 40). There is a lot of discussion about that.

I’ll give you the clff notes , since you are recent, and there are a few new others.

1. Roll on roll off (RoRo) eliminated - All RoRo leave from San Francisco pier 80. No ships have come this way at all - we’ve been watching.
2. So it has to be a container ship if deliveries are August and September. All Teslas have been shipped this way. There is one route from Oakland where they are loaded. 8 ships rotate on the Route, (9 ships now). The route is typically (but not always) Oakland, Seattle, Vancouver, Long Beach, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide. (Offload Sydney).
Tracked here Public - Google Drive
3. Hidden vins (in source code) have appeared in NZ (and disappeared). All vins registrations (not build date) were from July 7. Departure July 13 - Cap Capricorn. This timeline works for the UK vehicles vins the week before - 6 days vin to load. No uk vins have been assigned from this July 7 range.
4. Various sources have indicated various things. It is trying to pick what is consistent across sources (and not opinion). This is what has been corroborated from more than one source from what I can recall.
- one delivery batch August, one In September. Only 2 ships are left for August delivery - Cap Capricorn 16 Aug, Kota Ekspres Aug 23
- 2 leaks came out anonymously from 2 sources about Cap. One said quite confidently under 1000, one said 600. The lower end fits with the load time at Oakland. Nothing about Kota.
- Brotonne Bridge for the September deliveries - had a very long load time in Oakland. 2-4 times more than normal.
- Confirmed Vins (visual) would be assigned on ship arrival. This hasn’t happened yet since the cars can’t be here yet. Nothing earlier works with the vin dates.
- ‘Checkout’ to begin tomorrow. This is almost the last step in the process. We have to be close.
- Even Tesla staff seem to know more local delivery specifics in the last few days - because they need to know.

BAR 079 / BAR 081?

Part of the Press car demo fleet “Melbourne 10”. They were were all from the first RHD vin registrations of May 10.

That is the most awesome "Cliff notes" reply ever.. well done

I feel like it would be wise to be sure the car you are going to deliver is in one piece before you promise it to the customer. Maybe they are waiting until the dust settles to book a collection appointment.

Thats not been the case with S and X deliveries.

 

[paulp]

Just wondering how everyone knows the quantity on board this ship?

Only tesla know. Seems if something is said enough on here it becomes semi factual.

Do we have too.......just go back about 40 pages and start reading.

How did you know cap capricorn has two leaks? (Dot point 4.2). Leaks arent good on boats.

Leaks and sinking ships (Porsche) were covered earlier on in this thread that reminds me of a Christmas pudding, mostly hard work to get through, with a few hidden coins if you’re lucky to find them.

Of course you would, but it isn't always that easy to do.
Also those thin spare tyres that are typical these days are only mean to be installed on the back wheels, so it can mean changing effectively 2 wheels if you get a flat on the front. But basically most manufacturers want to save space and weight and not supply something that is rarely used. I live in the hills on pretty average roads and I've only had one issue with a flat tyres in 10+ years I think.

Just put the spare on the roof rack like Tesla did in Wanaka SHPG.

BAR 079 / BAR 081?

Bar079

 

[bbqluke]

Tesla Chadstone told me today, that checkout will most likely start tomorrow (Tuesday). Wouldn’t give any other details.

Bar079

The other in Brisbane is White - BAR083. It is charging beneath the store on AC. I saw it today after the road transport. Up close, the white looked pretty grubby. Looks mighty fine from 2m.


White seats really looked great.

Brisbane said the same Saturday, covers trade in, registered owners, delivery location, payment methods (and possibly insurance, but not so sure about this)

We all have to love Vedaprime, right? A GOD amongst us mere mortals. Let’s hope we all disappear from this forum soon because we are too busy looking after our babies

Or organise respective state catch ups when we have our cars- could always show them off as a group & talk Tesla outside the MCG during finals or something

Edit: what is checkout exactly? Do they phone us?

I have to fly from Melbourne to Brisbane to collect mine. The things we do...


...on the other hand my first drive is from Brisbane to Melbourne so that's an upside!

When you stay with ppl at your destination, what do you call the conversation where you ask if you can use their plug. Is this a problem?

Also what is it doing to the economics of caravan parks (powered tent sites) ?

I think I would open with “I have an electric car and I would like to pay you for letting me charge it if you are happy.” and negotiate from there

Checkout is the website change for providing more info as outlined in last post, then trade-in valued if not already, then at you get a call from a delivery specialist - a real person to talk to for final arrangements.
