Looks like Tesla are using NRMA for the CTP insurance (in NSW)Lots of nsw number plates in this range. Picture from twitter. ebo96c
Searching rego ranges comes up with a number of 4427xx vins and 4430xx (blue sr+! - close to my vin number). I think we are seing the 12v battery cars being pushed out.

Hmmm... based on this I may end up with an unintentional semi-custom plate for an Electric Blue Performance depending on the plate batch sizes Tesla has from the RMS. Though (hopefully) it is not likely to get as far as EBP03M!Lots of nsw number plates in this range. Picture from twitter. ebo96c

I was also originally scheduled for today, then got a call on Thursday to reschedule for tomorrow and then got a call this afternoon to reschedule again. The rep claimed the batteries may arrive late tonight and they may not be able to replace them on time for tomorrow as they are fully booked.
Very frustrating as I had to change all my work commitments and plans for the third time (extremely inconvenient).
I am now scheduled for 12:30 on Wednesday and I will be extremely frustrated and probably not so nice, if they call me again to reschedule, as they can and should have pulled out a battery from a showroom car or cars scheduled for delivery after me (mine is a Black SR+ with VIN number 4427XX and build date of 10/07/2019).

I'm going to have to fight you for that 4430 blue SR+... I guess it'll either go south or north!Lots of nsw number plates in this range. Picture from twitter. ebo96c

Firstly, Professor Green is an awesome chap. He actually taught the semiconductor physics class at UNSW when I was there. It was fascinating the way that he started with solar cells and then went on to topics such as bipolar junction transistors, describing then as "solar cells but with a wire where the sun should be". He inspired my interest in renewable power for decades.
As to solar panels on cars, there are economic and practical things at work here, the core being that for a vehicle like a Tesla, the surface area of the car and energy of the sun mean that you can't actually get a huge amount of power. You are much better off spending the money that your on-car solar setup would need on panels for your house which can then kill two birds with one stone.
The exception to this is for super-efficient vehicles such as those being made by companies like Lightyear and Sono motors or for large touring vehicles that can carry more and fancier panels. The latter tends to have larger surface areas and to sit for longer to charge.
Looking at the Random206 spreadsheet, there are 44 people scheduled for a delivery from Richmond, 38 with black interiors, and of whom, just 15 have a delivery date. Even assuming that this represents only 5% of all Tesla model 3 deliveries, if they were actually delivering 8 vehicles per hour, they could deliver everyone's vehicles in 12 working days, which looking at the delivery dates, is before more than half who actually have delivery dates are taking delivery.Richmond are currently delivering 8 cars every hour. Not sure if that was Richmond VA or Richmond VIC If they are really delivering 320 cars a week, pretty sure most of us would have cars by now...
Is anyone scheduled for delivery from Richmond this week?
Are you also waiting for a P3D- ? There seems to be a shortage of these
The Secret Of Tesla’s Success Is Not Selling Cars: It’s Being Able To Anticipate The Future
At the Auckland store, there was another TM3 parked in the next bay when we took delivery of ours, but no sign of its soon to be owners. And when we were back, briefly, a few days later, there were no cars in the delivery bay at all. So yes I would think that 8/day is much closer to the mark.Looking at the Random206 spreadsheet, there are 44 people scheduled for a delivery from Richmond, 38 with black interiors, and of whom, just 15 have a delivery date.

In other words, you are right to be sceptical on the 8/hour delivery rate. Perhaps 8 per day might be closer to the mark.
I have no idea what they are doing here, i am sure that they are all working hard, but I don' think that anyone is working very effectively, and as I have previously stated, this is the most opaque sales experience for any vehicle that I have ever had, and I have bought a lot of cars.
Swung by Autonexus in Perth today. Seems like they are in the process of cleaning the vehicles. The grotty black one with aero wheels and a red performance appear to be inside their workshop...or shipped out already?? Bit worried why some other Perth buyers have got their rego papers last week but nothing as yet for me. Managed to get a reply from Tesla confirming they've received payment but no other info forthcoming. Trying to keep the faith....View attachment 452489
According to this: The future of legacy car manufacturers | The Driven the secret of Tesla's success is vertical integration. And it's also the reason why legacy auto will struggle. But the other thing is kind of important too.
Yes, P3D- in red.Are you also waiting for a P3D- ? There seems to be a shortage of these. What colour?
