Had to organise cashflow under such short notice so I just did the transfer today at 2:00pm, will the money appear on Tesla's account before Sunday? Will I be able to pick up the car using transfer receipts? Thanks
If it was an EFT from and to one of the big 4 banks or their subsidiaries, it will show in their account on Sat. morning. If it was from a non bank or a credit co-op etc, you would need to check with them if they use the BECS system for EFT's for it to show on Sat.

I have now officially graduated from this thread... car picked up this morning :D. There were HEAPS of cars piled up at Alexandria! Car looks impeccable to me, only a few gum/residue marks near some of the rubber seals, paint is flawless, no panel gap issues, 10 km on the clock. The Aero hubcaps were missing :rolleyes: but they got a new set and whacked them on. And having now seen it in the flesh, black interior looks quite spesh with the white exterior, so my yearning for white interior is a fast receding... glad I went ahead!

I have named my car "Slartibartfast" because he designed the fjords in Norway, and of course Norway has the highest penetration of BEVs in the world.

And the funniest thing, driving around tonight, another Model 3 pulled up next to me at the lights! Rego plate only a couple of letters/numbers after mine, so he probably picked up this afternoon! We wished each other Merry Christmas as we sped off our separate ways!

So best wishes for everyone else who is still waiting for their car... believe me, all will be forgotten once you take delivery! This car is the future and the future is now!

I hope you will be fine. I did three transfers to get it done, Worst was a single day delay with a couple showing up on the same day. (And this was on a weekend so I would not rule out a good outcome for you. Fingers crossed.....

Just an FYI. Received a call from my delivery specialist yesterday around 3pm to inform me of a small delay. My delivery was scheduled for Sunday @ 1pm Melbourne and has to be pushed to Monday @3:30pm. She said the Hume highway was closed for a bit causing a backup with their transport companies. Then when they tried to get more transports, many were closing down due to the heat. A 24 hour delay is really nothing for me, but shows how Tesla is pushing the transports to the limit and there is basically zero slack. I was surprised my car was not already in town, so seems they are really delivering them to Richmond JIT.

I mostly felt bad for my delivery specialist. She sounded like she was just working her tail off to make all this happen. Cheers to Melbourne Delivery! Keep up the great round the clock work and I’ll get my car soon!

Also, when I go the call and the sound of her voice I was thinking - “oh god, here it comes - delayed till next year”. When I then hear Monday, I nearly yelped in excitement!

Just to also note, she said I was not the only one and she had been rescheduling lots of appointments to Monday. She said Monday was going to be a huge day.

Oh I love it, "Slartibartfast"......might have to read HGTTG again now....

It was from CBA and just remembered the page source trick where you can find out if payment is received on their end. Looks like they've received it!
 
I hope you will be fine. I did three transfers to get it done, Worst was a single day delay with a couple showing up on the same day. (And this was on a weekend so I would not rule out a good outcome for you. Fingers crossed.....
I think it's all cleared according to the page source. I did it with 2 transfers so unless I am horrible with my basic math add-ups, I will get my car tomorrow this time!

Still waiting for tongala Adelaide delivery call. Had a peek at autonexus from what I could see half dozen white non performance in yard getting dusty plus more and a red one in shed all cleaned up. Still waiting....
 
Just walked past the secret Tesla warehouse in Cremorne and it is stuffed full of M3s.

Melbourne deliveries all set to go boom right before Christmas.


What kind of information did they give while you waited for your tail light? I am still waiting for it. People ordering and receiving in their cars in a month, while a reservation holder has to wait for a month (so far) just so they can fix the car.

They gave me zero information unfortunately. I had to hound them via email and phone for weeks to get delivery happening after they said the tail light needed replacing.

I suspected it was a story, but this week my detailer pointed out that a rear panel has been resprayed. So not only did they replace a tail light, but they resprayed the quarter panel around it, I'm guessing after damage.

I'm going back to them now because I have a car with mis-matching paintwork.

So when you finally get your car, take the time to inspect the paint work very closely.

I feel your pain, I was a reservation holder still waiting while people who ordered in October were getting their cars delivered. As a June order, not only did I have to wait extra months than those people, I was given a repaired car.

This is a bit concerning because they did email me this:

"Your vehicle is brand new, I can assure you no one has crashed into anything."

Do you have any pictures regarding the paintwork so I know what to look out for?

I am a bit worried they might say something to you like, "this is just how the car is".

Hopefully they do right, and fix it completely.
 
Hi All, picked up my SR+ yesterday. Car was good, had a small scratch on the front bumper that I brought up with the delivery specialist. Will be repaired at a later date. Also found some average panel gaps on the rear boot, otherwise all great. One interesting thing to note; the car came with 2019.40.2.1 already installed, so that was a nice surprise. Even though it's only a SR+, I was quite impressed by the power, definitely enough for the missus (she will be driving it most of the time).
