Very jealous! Will keep an eye out for it around town. Do they deliver to your home or is there a "yard" they are delivering too?I’ve had my delivery call, its with the delivery company on its way from Auckland, and I’ll be receiving my car in Wellington sometime later this week

I take great pride in the fact that I have neither called or e-mailed Tesla to enquire about the delivery...
.... on the flip side, I have not heard anything.
Despite our best efforts, we did miss one phone call yesterday on our home line, so we are currently experiencing all the mental trauma that comes with that...

Saw a few people with 4491XX hidden vins (like me) mentioning delivery calls in the last few pages, and lo and behold, I just got a call too. Question though: I couldn't agree to a time because I had to check availability (we're out of state for first week of Vic' school holidays which is the last week of Sep'). She said to email back at ... deliveries_melbourne, or melbourne_deliveries, @tesla.com? I expect that someone here knows the email address - please help! I did have a look online and tried calling and of course got nowhere.
Thanks!
Thanks!
You didn't have your availability for the next 6 weeks tattooed to your arm!? Where's the commitment?

Don't know if this is going to make you feel any better, I am jealous at these peeps too. I am in similar boat P3D+ red ext/black int, April 3rd 2016 reservation/June 1st order. Still no VIN, no invoice.
He has answered specifically about when he estimates one will be able to ‘sleep while driving’
Can’t get much more explicit than that
I expect Level 4 on the road by 2022 in the USA.
Level 5 (can do whatever a human can) is a mile away - fallen tree across a remote unsealed single lane road, freeway accident requiring thousands of drivers to coordinate & reverse to the previous exit by police hand signals, etc
Elon has talked quite a bit about FSD and full autonomy, including a statement about removing the steering wheel and patching the whole in the dash. maybe just leave the steering wheels so we can just play games. Lol
Yes I have the Tenda Nova system myself - was piss easy to set up & made a massive difference to wifi coverage

So I reached out to Tesla again today since it has been nearly 2 weeks since I last hassled them and was told that they are
Vehicle: P3D with Performance Pack
Reservation: 8/4/2019
Order: 31/5/2019
Delivery: Melbourne, Richmond
I would not be surprised if they slip further. So frustrating when I see others who's orders were later and have later (or even no) reservation getting VINs and order dates.
They did not specify a year of course, so we can only hope that they mean late September 2019.

My delivery date is on the 18th of September!
Elon talks big and makes bold statements all the time. Wouldn't put much actual stock in it, especially where timeframes are concerned.
Not really an issue, because who would buy a fun car like a P-/P+ with the intent of not driving it? And wasn't there supposed to be a fully-autonomous robotaxi fleet by now?
18 September delivery. Sydney. Reservation date March 2019. Day 1 order may 31 2019. Anyone else? Sr plus
Also forgot to add, and waaaay more importantly, Tesla would have a multi-billion dollar lawsuit on their hands if they failed to deliver in a ‘reasonable time’ (Musk’s public statements & tweets would guide what is ‘reasonable’)

Well we all know it will happen. However as it is with machine learning, the exact time when the data-set reaches critical mass and the system becomes ready for this is a big unknown. From what Tesla tells us the hardware should be capable of it, so once the software is ready, they can say they have done it, however that does not mean our cars will be just driving around, it will still be up to each country to change the local legislation to allow this and considering how good our government has been in keeping legislation up to date with the technology, I don't see this happening for us in the very near term, eventually they will get there.

Not sure about sleeping while driving - I just want my car to drive me home when I'm drunk so I don't have to play designated driver with my better half

Depending on the length of the drive, you could either continue drinking on the way home or sleep it off and arrive at your destination sober againNot sure about sleeping while driving - I just want my car to drive me home when I'm drunk so I don't have to play designated driver with my better half
