    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Live sentry settles that for me 100%

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    They also refuse cars past a certain number of KM (120,000 IIRC). A local dealership on the weekend offered me double Tesla's initial offer back in March. Winner winner chicken dinner

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Tinfoil hat time, but I think it's a standoff between customers and Tesla. Tesla are hoping that customers will cancel, either switching to a Model Y (higher profit margin for Tesla) or just cancel, so Tesla can sell that Model 3 at a higher price than was locked in 8-12 months ago

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I haven't been paying attention but both of mine (second hand purchase from Tesla, and the original order I haven't had cancelled yet) have looked that way since at least Friday

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I gave up. There was a second hand one on Tesla's site that was pretty much close to my configuration, only exception being white seats instead of black. I pulled the pin and ordered it. This way I know I'll have my car before Christmas

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Mine updated to. I made travel plans for February and felt super duper confident that I'd well and truly have the car by then. After watching this slip initially from a 5-7 month estimate, to an 11 month estimate, I don't feel confident on this. I'm not angry. I'm not dissapoitned. I'm just...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I booked a service for the ICE I'm selling when mine turns up. Held off on it cause I was sure I'd have my Tesla by now. So Murphy's Law should guarantee that my sacrifice will make VINs appear this week*. You're welcome (* not actually a guarantee)

    EDDs tend to slide around. Wouldn't put too much stock in them, for the sake of sanity

    Same config as mine. Any idea what time it came in for you?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I was in there yesterday. They confirmed the new Hume delivery centre is open and operational. So don't fear any delays relating to it.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    There are some valid reasons to fret. Budgeting, planning holidays (ie, may not be available to collect the vehicle), registration/maintenance of their existing ICE, tradeins, and the ongoing expiry of preapprovals for financing. There's a lot of moving parts to coordinate, and Telstra's less...

    Congratulations on the VIN. If you don't stick around, thank you for your accounts of the "FFS Telstra" and it's adventurous voyages. I hope the car brings you much joy!

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Didn't take too long for this chat to circle back around to people talking about getting lawyers involved. Smh. It's a luxury car, not a kidney transplant. Be disappointed, be sad, but getting angry and wanting to get lawyers involved, get some perspective on life already

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I want to be hopeful. But has ever VIN allocation happened while the car was in Country and being transported via highway? (Other than cancellations of course)

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    This is why Tesla's don't have a sunroof. To stop disgruntled customers who's patience has been strained from performing a Chicago Sunroof.

    "FFS Tesla". This is gold!

    treasure this SA. They tell the truth, not try to bluff their way around saying "I don't know"

    Tesla Canberra on the move

    Although Tesla haven't disclosed yet, any one have any ideas where abouts in Hume it will be?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    But as every person posting here collects their own car, there will be new joiners waiting for their cars. And repeat customers waiting on their second or even third car. The beast will always need feeding

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Some would joke that all of New Zealand deserves to be cancelled. I mean, if it got me my car faster then sure, I'm on board :D

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I feel confident that us long time waiters will get some satisfaction (satisfact-vin even?) over the next week. Or I'm just showing a copium overdose

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I hope so. But I was telling myself that last week, and the week before

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    This is not now or has it ever meant a thing. Refresh the app (drag the car icon down, release - at least on the Android app) and bam, there it is. Sometimes the API doesn't answer the app in a timely fashion so it disappears. If I refresh a dozen or so times in a row on at least 1 it will be...

    A) this isn't discord B) you need to simmer down my friend

    Dug it out using web developer tools in Chrome. But the actual content is "static.tesla.com/tesla_insurance_app/main.bundle.min.js"

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    main.bundle.min.js? I can see the same. And I'd wager this is static content, not dynamic. Especially since the "referenceNumber" value doesn't match my reference number (RNxxxxxxxxx). I'll chance it, the full VIN I'm seeing in that file is LRWYGCEK1NC263711. Which I'd wager is the same as you...

    The news is great though. I equal parts cheer for and boo at you :)

    This thread is for Model 3 waiting, not Model Y. Australian Model Y Waiting Room should serve you

    Based on I'm a March RWD order. And can confirm that I don't feel "hung out to dry"

    Would need a grain of salt about 20m x 20m x 20m for me to take that.

    Should see them in Canberra. Genuinely more Ys than 3s now :( I'm hoping this isn't a sign of delays

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    The Majura Parkway in Canberra should do nicely. 100km/h, two lanes, dual carriageway. I'm going to calibrate mine along there when it turns up

    Macquarie tells me that they won't extend beyond 90 days anymore, that it has to be a new application. Think it's all becoming normal now.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Cancel your order. Let the wait be a little shorter for some other soul. Zero respect for you if you plan on profiteering from this situation.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    We are very different people. The "it's worth the wait" messages from people I've shared this journey with sustain me

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Time to cancel the order and order a polestar instead /s

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    They've refused myself and others that option. If they did indeed do that for you, it's not something they are meant to have done

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    At least yet. Morning Crystal is where I'm pinning my hopes
  44. penn_

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I have zero doubt that this was a cancellation/reallocation. Congratulations!

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah there's a degree of privilege in being excited and worked up about a car. But it would be even more privileged and much more worthy of judgement to not hold a $64K+ purpose in some esteem. I never want that much money to be something that I disregard or think lightly of.

    It's 99 days to the end of November my friend. If they meet that window, then 99 days is the longest we'll have to wait.

    They move them around exceptionally frequently, faster than the Waze data is useful

    The speed camera vans are really being ramped up lately. Seeing them being placed then moved in under an hour. There's not really anywhere that's worth the risk

    5-7 months when I ordered. Currently in month 5, and that doesn't feel good
