Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[RobDickinson]

Later builds are better. Too many bugs in the first builds.

yes bu at this point in time I dont expect major differences between 40xxxx and 50xxxx cars

 

[aegidius]

Yes but if you were the australian state of new zeland the model 3 would have been in australia sooner

Ring Tesla and ask where are the cars for West Island...

Weird I don't have that extra section below the Download apps thing.

Nor do I

No VIN, no invoice, no delivery date, Brisbane Ah well there goes any hope for August.

I am in the same boat still. Pun intended.

They have been making 3s for two years. I suppose RHDs only for a couple of months but this would have to be one of the easiest RHD conversions in history.

So is anyone in the same boat where you had a temporary VIN, and then haven't had one for about 3 or 4 days since then? (Or at least didn't have one when you checked).

The telephone call was first. On the website it says Melbourne because it is the nearest store to Perth, which does not have one. The vehicle is being delivered to my home by Tesla. Maybe they have allocated a tentative appointment for you?

I did have a call Monday or so checking everything i have selected is still correct, where they didn't mention an exact date, but the time on the web appeared around the same time. So maybe that was my equivalent to yours? Do you have an invoice?

 

[andygen21]

Weird, I believe you have to accept the time they offer. Try calling or emailing them and ask.

Have tried both.

From the NZ delivery people...

Afternoon All,

I’d just like to broadcast a message from Tesla to all those waiting on their Model 3’s.

Deliveries in NZ will start soon. The Tesla NZ team have or will be in touch with you to arrange delivery.

Please trust that everything that is humanly possible is being done to expedite your delivery. Extra staff have been brought on to assist.

That being said we as owners and potential owners need to be wary we don’t let our excitement go fever pitch.

Anecdotally a small group of owners-to-be are going full bridezilla. Eg:

- calling through up to 5-10 times a day to see where their cars are at
- getting aggressive/ yelling at Tesla staff who can’t give them an update on their car
- if they happen to get a personal phone number calling Tesla staff direct in the late evenings (11pm) or weekends

This type of behaviour just isn’t fair to the staff at Tesla NZ.

It benefits all of us to have good long term relationships with Tesla, so just try to take it easy.

Be patient. I know how hard it is.

You’ll have your dream car soon.

"Full bridezilla" hahaha

Kota is moving towards Australia. Diverted through Cook Strait due to weather. Due Sydney Monday

Kota is welcome to drop off our cars in Wellington on its way. It is quite calm here and may save Tesla delivering it from Auckland

Invoice just received via email. Still not in account.

Invoice just received via email. Still not in account.

Do you have a delivery date or did you get invoice first?

 

[khayyam]

Do you have a delivery date or did you get invoice first?

I have a delivery date listed (28th) but was told by ds that it doesn't mean anything until he calls back to arrange.

Discovered this morning a vin hidden in my order page's source code:
5YJ3F7EA7KF4491XX
That's for a SR+ ordered on 9 August.

Has anyone bitten the bullet and purchased the Jedi 5 in 1 USB charging hub for the model 3?
Works out pretty expensive when shipped to Australia. $145 AUD
Looks like a must have after market accessory.

Have they shipped any? I will probably order it or the Chinese knockoff version coming soon.
