or you can set up two HPWC on one circuit - and then they will somehow intelligently load share, so if one car is charging and the other one isn't, then the car that's charging will get full power.

You need to slave one HPWC to the other, to get this to work. The manual describes the process. Just connecting them both up means each one doesn't know about the other (or about anything else on the circuit) and will pull full power.

Feeling a bit lonely here with a LR AWD ordered. It seems hardly anyone ordered this configuration, there's been no change to my account since 13th of August (obviously vinless), and no hint about when it might arrive. Would love to hear any speculation on when I might get the car from anyone who might know.

Here is some hearsay - I was at Tesla last Sunday, and during the test drive , I asked the girl if she knew when to expect LR AWD, and she said if it was ordered now, probably November. So as you ordered a few weeks ago , I will go ahead and guess via the dartboard and say....October. That way, if you get it late September, even better

Pure speculation, but LR AWD wasn't an option until fairly late. They added it at the same time as the white interior. The estimated delivery date in the configurator also shifted from August to September around that time.

Given that people who were promised an August delivery for configurations available in June are getting September (at best) deliveries, I'd guess that realistically you're looking at mid to late October.

Working from the assumption that Tesla doesn't front-load vehicles without firm orders behind them.

I have LR AWD in white also. On the spreadsheet it shows that theres an NZ one with VIN and delivery date but i have neither yet.

The ANL WARRNAMBOOL was the answer @Vedaprime mentioned before so hopefully thats right and we will get a call soon when it docks in SYD.

#3 with a LR AWD in white on order here. I'm guessing/hoping that the Auckland information is accurate and that there's a few of them on the ANL Warrnambool - and that the VINs will be matched to orders sometime in the next week or so. It's been said before, but I'll say it again - it's the lack of communication out of Tesla, even if just general communication, that's frustrating. If they simply acknowledged that people are waiting, and gave indicative timelines of when they expect to see particular types of Model 3s in the country, along with indicative timeframes for processing them through Customs, charging, detailing, and so forth, it would hugely reduce the frustrations amongst customers.

I have patience. I can wait. But not knowing anything about what's going on - that's what's really causing me grief right now.

If you try to order one now, it still says October delivery but we all know that means nothing.

I just want my car <sniff>

Just received, completed and returned my vehicle licensing papers. Another step closer.

Glad you have a date, but if you get your car (exactly the same as mine) before me I am going to be so annoyed with Tesla. Deposit on the 18th May, 2018 and order on 1st June! More than 2 years later than my deposit, and after my original order (which admittedly Tesla stuffed up, leading me to replace on the 2nd June, they promised that it would not affect my delivery). I have had absolutely nothing from them since finalising the finance/trade in etc.

I have the same reservation ordering and deposit dates as you so hopefully your call will come soon.

Melbourne, Richmond must be doing the calls today. Just received my delivery confirmation phone call too for October though...

I am in the same boat, no contact at all, no vin and yet I keep seeing others with the same configuration and no reservation getting appointments and cars. It is bloody frustrating, even more so due to the lack of communication, even a general update on their website as to what is going on would be helpful. I did contact them to say I was willing to pickup from wherever would lead to the earliest delivery to avoid it clashing with a long time out of the country. I was told that the delivery specialist would liasise with me over this and I should get a call soon (beginning of August) due to my early reservation...... nothing. I emailed them last week ask what will happen to my order since I now won’t be able to take possession until early November....... nothing back. Some on here have suggested that by making these queries TESLA may have moved me to the back of the que out of petulance... I hope that is not the case. The only possible advantage I could gain from allowing TESLA to bank my money 3 years ago was the fact it may lead to some priority in delivery.... sadly not. Multiple people at my work own EV’s and are looking in the $150k range at Jaguar, Audi etc, my ongoing journey is not helping to sway them to TESLA.

Perhaps a list of the reservations by date on their website would help transparency (with a note of status). Then we could all see what is really happening.....it won't happen though

Sorry, you misunderstand. I was expressing incredulity as to your reservation date, which I retrieved from Random206's spreadsheet. My reservation is 8th April 2016, more than 2 years before yours. My order (before Tesla stuffed it) was also the day before yours. The only difference between us is that I am in Melbourne.

That's potentially indicative solely of how much of your config was assigned to your state, not them prioritising him.

What to read!? Is there anything left to read after waiting three and a half years?

Indeed, I mentioned to the girl that I could write a book about the model 3

Were you emailed the rego papers? Or did they appear in the Tesla account?

Sorry. I read your date as 2018. My apologies.
