Wonder what the delay with the NZ cars is, we had web functionality opened a week before OZ, some cars obviously did arrive on the CAP and lots in NZ have VIN’s yet no one seems to have a delivery scheduled?
I missed a call from Tesla today. They emailed me saying it was to confirm details. I will be taking delivery from the Auckland Showroom. Getting PPF then driving it home...
 
Any Brisbane calls?

I’ve been extremely unproductive today. Well, maybe at least for the last month...
I can confirm we have had one caller (reservation holder within a week of reservations opening) from about an hour north of Brisbane who was scheduled for 20th September pickup.

I am in the city centre of Brisbane and can literally walk to Tesla if I really had to although electric skateboard is so much faster, and yet I haven't had a phone call yet either. It did take a while for my screen to progress from 'We will contact you about the outcome of your finance' (when I was already approved anyway) to the the next steps, so I'm thinking I'm not as far up the food chain as I thought I was. An upsetting feeling lol.

Great. At least calls have started. Am phone watching the last part of the day then.

Me too. Am 10 minute Lime scooter away in the CBD.

Are you talking about Ben D in the spreadsheet? He said they rang him this afternoon to book in delivery. P3+ in White
 
Interesting, how did you notify them of the Auckland pickup, I called and they said the delivery advisor would sort that out. I am the same would prefer to pick up from Auckland and drive it home.
About two weeks ago, just after filling in delivery address as Christchurch, I phoned sales support.
I got the US sales support. They emailed my ‘delivery advisor’ David who then emailed me.
My ‘missed call’ was also from David.
 
That's the one. I just hadn't checked to see if he'd updated it yet, or if his name was against his entry, so was trying to be secret squirrel about it haha.
I'm aware of three other Brisbane deliveries for the 16th and 19th and 23rd of September - all P+

As I can tell I should be close to the front of the queue when they get to Brisbane P- deliveries. *Really* hope it doesn't delay the driving holiday I'm planning to start on the 21st.

I'm looking at installing the Wall Connector in my garage. JET Charge (one of Tesla's recommended electricians) can do the installation in 2 visits; 1st visit to install RCD in switchboard and isolator and run the cables, and 2nd visit to connect the Wall Connector after I get my 3.

I was quoted $700-$800 ex-GST for a single-phase installation (installer will give proper quote on 1st visit).

What are you guys doing and what do you think of the price?
 
Elon said in 2016 that his first mission to Mars would be in 2018.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

I guess when ordering a car which was estimated to be delivered in August I should have been prepared for a different reality.
Elon uses the martian calendar. Its completely different to ours
 
A bit of activity on the account which is positive and moving forward I guess. Noticed my wife's DOB was wrong and emailed today and that got fixed up straight away and is now reflecting in the registration tab. Also, posted custom plates to Tesla Melbourne and now the plates are showing up as well in the account so hoping delivery specialist call is not too far away. Don't want to get carried away but fingers crossed and toes curled for a call this week with a delivery update..
