Tesla Model 3 in Australia

I am with you mate, just because the product is awesome and we are all supporters of TESLA and the future success doesn’t mean I should just bend over and take punishment from their crappy customers service and a seemingly unending ability to never learn from their previous logistics cock ups. Let’s not forget they were/are in total control of the process and had every opportunity to make sure the Australasia rollout was done fairly and in line with expectations, saying ‘but this is a big undertaking’ so therefore we can expect it to be messy is just a cop out. Now, I can totally understand timelines blowing out and certain vehicles getting delivered first due to production issues but I think just some basic information should be forth coming, like I don’t know a message along the lines of ‘you estimated August delivery is now unlikely, expect to here from us mid September’ would be handy. Doesn’t have to be a phone call either, just a txt or email would suffice.

I have never been an owner. I have been to 2 test drives and spoken to their representatives in couple of shopping centres and the Tesla Tiny House presentations. Also visited the Brisbane show room on occasions for a chat. They have been emailing and calling me about updates from Brisbane Tesla shop, so I might be considered a friend. I did put the reservation in for Model 3 during one of the test drives of Model S in January 2018, so have had reservation for 20 months. (Not as long as many others)
I did the Model 3 test drive the first day they were doing those in Brisbane and I pretty much confirmed with them that I was going to purchase SR+ MSM unless the LR RWD comes available and I was hoping for towing option. They have since been pushing me to put the order for SR+ in trying to convince me that LR RWD is most likely not coming back this year.
I suspect Brisbane allocation of cars may have had some surplus SR+ in MSM paint where the denser populated states like VIC and NSW were running low on some options?
Can confirm.

You are in QLD, so there is a chance that not all QLD orders got that. Also can you check what options you have ticked in your communication preferences for Tesla account? I have all ticked, so I get emails, phone calls and text messages. I suspect if you leave some of them unticked you may not get those type messages.

Thanks, I am looking seriously at the Sea Sucker mini bomber, I have some reservations, given the glass breakage reported on the model 3, which Tesla should have responded to, but have been worryingly silent.
Are you feed up with the lack of communication from Tesla.
Make some noise on Elon’s favourite platform Twitter.

Yeah, been double checking this ahahah. J have all options at all times selected. They can send my delivery confirmation by carrier pigeon for all I care
Have just done some analysis of the which models (Country, Model, Colour, Interior) have which VINs.
Models v Vins.xlsx
It seems there is very little overlap in VINS between AU and NZ. Only 2 LR AWD in NZ with 3 P- from AU.
As I would have thought, production seems to be in batches.
Data is from yesterday morning.

@Vedaprime , please let us know when you get the call. If anyone deserves it it is you and it would make my day.
Long-time stalker, first-time poster, I got the text message this morning as well, and have just received the call, so they must be working through the list based on car specification I believe.
Ordered 31/05/19
No Res
P- Midnight Silver
Hidden Vin 4882XX

Seems plausible. Melbourne had some calls for that config reported yesterday. Makes sense for Brisbane to follow shortly afterwards.
I've got the same config and VIN series, so I guess we'll see. No call yet. 2 hours since text.

Do you have examples you can link?
The only instance I have read is when a bloke put it them on his X & accidentally opened the falcon wing doors. So it wasn’t a load issue
No call, no TXT, no hidden VIN, just another week gone by waiting. I called them (second time in as many weeks) looking for an update but they just keep pushing the tentative date each time. Pretty average IMO.
