I think that the key thing from the page that you linked is that:
The Tesla HPWC definitely detects ground faults since it has a bunch of error codes that get thrown when they happen, does this shut off current at less than 6mA?

Personally have not had dire need for this. I do have solar on the roof. It is not something that would be critical for me, but I would love to have at least the option for V2G in case of emergency.
Since the installation of solar my power bills have been about $100 per quarter or $400 per year.(that is basically the connection fee) This will go up a little once the car arrives, but for a PowerWall to actually pay for itself, would still take too long. Over the last 2 years I have had only 2-3 power outages each lasting less than an hour, for those situations having V2G option would be perfect.
That's my configuration and VIN range too. Glad calls are finally going out for it.
How many extra days does transport from Sydney to Brisbane add?
I still find it kinda of bizarre that they call to arrange a delivery for late VINs like 488 and even some in 500s for an end of September delivery but there are tonnes of Cap Capricorn VINs that arrived in mid August that presumably would be a lot more certain in terms of guaranteed delivery but don't have anything arranged.
Can anyone figure out the reasoning there? Surely the cars that have already spent 2+ weeks in the Country and with auto nexus would be a lot closer to organising a set delivery than booking people in nearly 3-4 weeks away with later VINs with cars that are barely here? Did something maybe happen to some of the Cap Capricorn cars?
I can't see any logic in how their system works ..

My assumption is that not all people that ordered a Model 3 are in this forum, or updating the VIN tracker.. So likely most have been allocated - we just don't know about it.
The other point is, from our understanding the ships come in with certain configurations of configs, and they then match them to orders once they get here (by going down the list of orders sorted by reservation date until a match is found), so it could be that there is a colour / type combination that isn't popular - and there are a few cars un-allocated as a result - although with the limited options in the early configs I find that a bit hard to believe.

Well, that issue should not take them weeks and months to work through. Even if they need deep cycle marine battery, those can be sourced locally within 24-48 hours and replaced in 15 minutes. Unless they are shipping the replacement batteries from US.
Wouldn't the later series cars be expected to have the same issue (same battery, same transport process, issue wasn't discovered until after the later-series cars left on the ship)?
If we accept that the 12V battery issue is legitimate (as opposed to an excuse for some other kind of delay), it seems very optimistic of Tesla to assume that subsequent shipments won't experience the same problem/also need new batteries upon arrival. Though if they're sending a huge batch of batteries out by air (weight prohibitive? I don't know) then the batteries could arrive before the cars and make replacements much easier/faster to do.
Got 'the' call:

Exactly the same scenario as you but blue P3D+...still no call
@Vedaprime Spoke with Tesla today and looks like I can expect October delivery with that VIN of 51xxxx. Sad but expected tbh, just logistically difficult to make it go any faster I guess. At least I can only be surprised if it arrives sooner.
don't worry, I am a June 2016 reservation holder and a day one order for a P3D- White, Black Interior, no call, no vin, no idea? It seems to be just a total lottery, still it will be worth the wait. It is frustrating as you base your timings on the delivery estimate (August) and in good faith sell cars etc, just a shame I can't even get a rough guess out of them as to when I might be looking at the car getting here as the staff don't know as I am guessing they truly have no idea what is arriving and when.

Tesla order page is going through something at the moment. Instead of actual text the names of the objects defined are showing on the webpage on both my phone and laptop
Was the range 5171xx? White or Black seats?
These 517 vins are strays. Mind of their own. It is the only vin series a bit variable. Almost like a wildcard. There does look to be a batch of white seats from this range bright forward 3 weeks. Makes some sense to do it in the quarter to get some on the streets.
Every other vin range lines up nicely.
Well no, of course not, but the requirement may be an overly obsessive/paranoid response to the extremely small risk of a bizarre vehicle fault scenario in which DC is sent through to the AC pins that are connected to the household supply. But I’m guessing.
Went for a test drive on Sunday afternoon. Drove into Sydney in a Volt.
Regen on the 3 , (tested a blue SR+) , was pretty good . interior is ok.
Feel on the road is good, as far as you can tell driving around the block , down through Mrs Macquarie Chair, and then back again.
Sales person mentioned a price increase this week, is probable, circa 2+ % I asked if that was on all models and she said yes .
Still deciding – LR AWD or SR+ .
No LR AWD available to test, just the Red performance , and the Blue SR+ . Red looks nice .. no whites to check out .
