no fair.. my odo is blank =(

23/10/2022. Black/Black LR

Nah.. Not for all cars yet - that's more like December this year - RWDs still get subsidies apparently. Chinese Teslas are almost 30% cheaper than the rest of the world for a start.

Model X Owner's Manual | Tesla. Active Hood?

I missed out earlier (due to work meetings) but yep.. M3LR April - VIN assigned - EDD as per signature!!!

Lucky Duck.. I got my SMS just before.. Booked for the 4th of Nov. WHOOP WHOOP!

this is the way

So I was watching 'Electrified' and saw something cool that helped put my wait into perspective .. Shanghai posted 83K(ish) deliveries for September.. Now look at the year past of deliveries.. especially April (1.5K) May (32K) and July (28K) - They were all low due to lockdowns, supplies...

I see everyone elses car o_O - but not mine

PLEASE!? IT'S NEW ZEALAND.. A country where the Sheep outnumber people 5 to 1.. It's hard to compare standing orders with them.. You'd be better off looking at somewhere busier like Tassie or Bendigo..

*grumble grumble grumble* Just spoke to the mechanic, Water pump is shot in the current jalopy.. I'm now out another $2k while I've been waiting for this F'ing tesla to arrive.. I was planning to scrap it too when I got a new car, now I've got a $#!tbox with a shiny new waterpump in it...

Ooof I did that last year.. that's one of the reasons I went and ordered Teslas.. and then just for icing on the cake it decided to bleed the entire radiator on the driveway last week.. - Getting the water pump checked today - est $600/800 ... sigh..

Hmm that could have been one of the many reasons for Elons push for the AI team to work on SmartSummon and SmartPark - That and it needed a lot of work

Just don't read the article in apple news from Popular mechanic... 20,000 vehicles under the sea.. https://apple.news/ALXjpc2umRVyXWfKyzgL8Qw All about how the Felicity Ace sank in March with $400 million worth of Lambos, Bentleys, Porsche Taycans etc.. *Shudder*

I think also .. Have a look at demand/sales for Q1 and Q2 2022 and the SIGNIFICANT jump in sales around march/april 2022.. ('member oil prices and the ukraine war??--- I 'member) I'm not making excuses for Tesla .. BUT sales pretty much doubled/tripled over those 2 months from previous months...

and a 16-18 year wait until FSD leaves Beta

Fingers crossed it means no more start of quarter / End of Quarter bullshit rushes.. we should be seeing steadier *consistent* deliveries of cars (he says with equal mixes of optimism and sarcasm)

I love Vedaprimes Twitter feed.. thanks for the retweet dude. .

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/exclusive-tesla-output-forecast-shows-jump-q4-growth-through-2023-sources-2022-09-30/ Q4 is 'going to deliver' on delivery

\\Damn

I had the same experience here. SMS, Website updated with invoice details, EMAIL, VIN viewable in page source, second SMS for earlier EDD The API "trick" for me was much like the goggles

YAY -I just got another SMS from tesla and the EDD Dance that I've seen for others has started for me...I feel so loved. Nov-Feb 2023 Oct 29 - Nov 3 2022 Oct13 - Oct27 2022

Already done most of that, listening to Tesla Podcasts and own TSLA Stock.. (just not that granular on 4b) I was thinking more along the lines of Learn Spanish, Teach Monkeys to fly, Fly to Shanghai and make my own damn M3LR..

Whoop Whoop - Electricians have been so now I get to update my "keep me sane while waiting for VINS list" Carport Built New Power Circuit for Carport Get both Gen3 Chargers installed Water Tank (for collection off carport) - ORDERED! VIN Numbers - *Got the Y* Waiting for the 3 GET THE...

I'll give you one thing though.. at least your order has an EDD with a month name.. - I'm still staring at 6-9 months.. I'm thinking of getting on a tshirt as a conversation starter

HAH no doubt there.. we can also get into the Australia always get the short end of the stick discussion too... China gets 1-3 week turnarounds, USA gets 1-3 months and Aus gets 6 to 9 (or 12 months) in some cases...:eek: but that's a tired story, we've all heard it. there's 827 pages of posts...

1) let's not forget all those people who were waiting since NOV/Dec in the last batch. 2) with the upgrades complete, production slowly ramping up and Non-Quarantine Quarters to meet demand - Boundless positivity abounds that we'll be seeing more and more cars now

feeling you stokesy... My 6 months is creeping up too.. and now I have the joy of the missus' model Y coming before mine.. Hopefully these 'upgrades' to the lines will pump more M3s out for the Aussie market.

I'm not putting too much faith in the API.. everything here seems to follow a *process* - SMS first, Invoice/Vin, the API will update itself eventually =) On the plus side.. Test payment and first payment went through.. Now to schedule a money pump into Teslas nominated account. :D

@*Sparkles* yup what Maxi said.. it's on the top of the invoice right next to the VIN and above the Engine details. P.S. Awww Snap.. I just noticed you've updated your signature too.. So are you sticking with the Y?

I'm sitting here arms folded with a weird half smile half grimace.. as long as she shares everything will be fine. great news too.. because I woke up this morning to a puddle of coolant under my car. Public holiday - have to wait till monday to take it down to the mechanic..

Yup. that was the original plan - even has it in my sig'

I'm doing the same right now.. One one hand - happy to pay the invoice - on the other - I'm cursing coz it should be my car.. I've been waiting too.. BOooooooooo Yay.. Booooo .. Yay!

Yeah thanks @penn_ I've moved my excitement to that forum while I continue to sit here and wait for my fricken fracken M3LR to do something.. The wife is excited though. grumble grumble .. kicks a can..

whoo .. Final Invoice notification from Tesla for my model Y.. Vin Assigned and Build Date 21.09.2022

Yes.. Model Y - Oct29 to Nov3 EDD

Ok.. this is weird.. I just got a Final Invoice SMS.. I need to sit down and see if this is spam/malicious phishing or the real deal. Don't toy with me TESLA!! Anyone else getting word?

Nothing wrong with naming things. My missus has named everycar she's ever had since P's and have been male/female/androgynous. I've named mine too and affections have run from Cmon Baby and here you go darling all the way through to START YOU B!&CH!! All I know for sure is that I bags the...

ahhh OK so apparently the line upgrades weren't completed fully?? and now they are?? with testing ramping up until the 30th of sept.. So we should see more M3s and Ys rolling *soon* https://au.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/tesla-completes-expansion-at-shanghai-plant-432SI-2664889...

Hopefully it's a month with a 'ber' in it

Bruh, HOWDY NEIGHBOUR. I'm just off Meruka. - and our dates are close-ish. let's be tesla-buds!

Great advice but I'm not doing that every time the car needs a wash though,, maybe just a blue moon thing. Isn't that like saying go to the dentist everytime you brush your teeth??

I think it'd still viewed that way.. especially by all the Brunswick snobs I talk to that stare at me like I'm from a different country when I say "Yes, I live in Eltham, you heard correctly"

Ja Mon. I know it's a bit weird but in this household it's going to be easier to just put 2 in. Having a His and Hers prevents arguments, confusion and disappointments.. Gotta remember the golden rule. Happy Wife, Happy Life. (no jokes I was even ready to buy the plates so the charger colour...

even more good news.. My master plan is bearing fruit. Carport is DONE as of today... Let's scratch that off the "keep me sane while waiting for VINS list" Carport Built New Power Circuit for Carport, Get both Gen3 Chargers installed, Water Tank (for collection off carport -watering front...

Amazing what happens when motion lotion prices skyrocket into the stratosphere and stay there. I wonder if the Fed government and any overpaid Pollies are paying attention to these articles/stats

No Need for apologies.. It's all in good spirits. On the flippy more positive side, I'm seeing more and more Teslas on the road - Lots of CCA number plates .. Even saw an MP CCA parked in Eltham around the corner from me last night.. Sexy looking. Shout out to you if you're on the forum...

Young Man? Oh you made me blush..

Luddo is well and truly in the right and allowed to brag.. Anyone in this forum that spends over 6 months (or 9 in Luddos case) is invited to share in their joy.. I'm looking forward to seeing @MagicalseT and many others sharing their DD stories and photos of them doing the 'toyota' leap in...
