I have this precise decision to make. I took delivery of M3LR in Aug22 and love it. Yet also placed an order for a MYP in June with intention to either buy it and give the M3 to my wife, or sell the M3 after about 9 months. Now I believe that neither of these will happen, I will likely keep the...

My experience was that the rego was done 2 days prior. Technically Wed arvo for Frid morning pickup. (Melbourne)

Fantastic to see a bunch of pickup SMS's coming through, including many fellow VIC's. Turning the discussion naturally as one does now to Insurance. (Shipping News, VIN, Charging, Accessories, SMS trepidation, Insurance, Pickup.) Getting plenty of quotes all around the same price give or...

2 March. All in signature: Tesla Model 3 LR Black/White 19" OD 02 Mar 2022 BD 15 Jul 2022 DELIVERY 26 Aug 2022 Tesla Model Y P Black/White. 21" OD 11 June 2022 VIN tba EDD Nov 2022 to Feb 2023

I was driving when it came through and pulled over because of excitement. Friday 10 am was the earliest. There were some other times throughout Friday and some on Saturday I recall. Cannot remember much of what it said beyond that as I just wanted the 10am slot more than I wanted my kids...

Just received Delivery SMS (Melb. pickup). Locked in for this Friday. I knew today was going to be a good day.

New week, fresh outlook. Crossing my fingers that this week delivers some pickup sms's and a pile of VIN's for RWD'ers

I remember a very senior mercedes salesman checking if i was aware that the $20k of optionals i was about to order would surmount to nought at resale time. The best it would do is help it sell before others. (He was right) Cannot imagine a paint protection invisible to anyone beyond a...

Correction $1500 for Solid black paint (Not $2500)

I think this is good advice. I have gone for a Black paint which cost $2500 and intend to have the vehicle for 4-5 years, then flip it. Fully acknowledging each to their own, however, in my circumstances, I could not imagine fully wrapping at a cost of approx $8k to $10k has any value...

Poor kid, dad probably grounded him cause of his thumbs up gesture ! Dog probably got kicked on the way in too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolute Gold !!!! Even the kid has jumped ship. Dad's pride and joy just got spanked !!!!! Time to move on, take a picture of it, frame it, and put it in the pool room. Then go out and buy yourself a Tesla. Do tell us more stories as they come to hand, it is helping me (and others I think)...

That "Someone" must have been gutted. all those letters and all on the car's name must have cost him/her a lot of money. Imagine if he found out you brought a boost in horsepower via an app for $3000 and had it installed in less than a minute, without needing a booking at your mechanic. ...

I looked at that too and kind of thought it was a bit un-Tesla like. Seemed like a good idea, yet just shouldnt be necessary. I think it was about $600 or so, cannot recall if that was USD or AUD. So happy to hear you think the main screen will suffice. 1 more accessory ticked off the list.

Tesla's EDD dates as explained in detail by Vicky Pollard:

Same here, Ordered MYP on 11th June and have EDD Nov-Feb

So its beer'oclock on a Friday and the week is drawing to a close. I don't recall hearing of any pickup SMS's today. Did anyone receive good news today ?

Looks like an engine number. Should be 2. One for front and one for rear.

Geez, that seems a lot of money when compared to the cost of the vehicle. Each to their own though. Certainly keeping the economy going!

By and large, I would agree, except they change the position of the goal posts. (ie Move the EDD). It is this that makes it diificult to manage one's expectations.

No it is not, and I don't want to be the Debbie downer in what should be happy moments, but it serves as a warning to all the next orders and forum posters that arrive here that unless things change, your experience in the last few weeks/month preceding delivery is unlikely to meet your...

I hear you and completely resonate with you when you say you would do it differently next time. And in fact I have an MY on order due Nov-Feb, so I do plan on going through it again myself. However, I propose that it is not possible to pay that late. I got an ultimatum call on a Wednesday way...

Well done, you got a good result. Always great to hear someone reaching the end of this process and getting their Tesla. Not to take away from your news in any manner whatsoever. This pre-sms in the morning and an arvo pickup text is a major source of my angst towards Tesla. In trying to...

I can confirm the same here. Received Monday Pre SMS with 17-31 Aug EDD Melbourne pickup, was today pushed back to 19 Aug-2 Sep. Feel like the Tesla gods are not aligned with our impatience and restlessness.

Well done. You must be thrilled. What dates were you offered?

I just got an sms from Telstra. Heartbeat went up, then shoulders went down when I realised it was close, yet so far away. Officially jumping at shadows now.

I feel like there must be some Pickup sms's coming through today. My "shortly" sms was midday on Monday. Perhaps the overnight rain might have just meant a bit more prep work needed and there is some movement by this arvo . In the interim, forget debating what SA stands for (just a glorified...

Has anyone received a pickup sms this morning ? I am 2 days into my 17th to 31st Aug pickup window. (Melbourne) Not a nail-biter, but thinking of taking it up to pass the time.

It means many many things; South Australia Service Agreement Spark Arrestor Substance Abuse Sound Attenuation Scrambled Americans (my favourite, tis a sound company) .... the list goes on and on However in Tesla speak, I believe it means Sales Assistant. (correction: Sales Advisor) Oh, I...

I feel most look at the word "Driverless" in an incorrect context. Like it is a luxury or a costly yet cool option. To me, it doesn't mean that we are going to allow you to have this great new feature that helps you not have to drive it. It means we are going to STOP you from driving. For a...

Very important advice and clearly explains the order in which delivery should be conducted in two easy steps. Thanks for your write-up. I think it is inappropriate for any car dealer to attempt to get a buyer to sign before inspection and this practice should be stamped out.

Well you have missed the point of my original post completely. I shared my experience and opinion on which part of the waiting process, which we ALL go through, that I found to be the hardest to date. (having waited 6 months like most). Hopefully when you get to that point, which I am sure you...

Yes and no. Got VIN for one order. Just like yourself, waiting on VIN for the other order.

Ditto

Of all the waiting, I reckon the hardest wait is when you have paid in full, Tesla has acknowledged so, sent you the 'sms before the delivery sms' and you are just waiting for the last step. Everything else, the manufacturing delay, the ships, the docks, the movements I can tolerate, but this...

24 to 48 hours. My SA was on an RDO, so was closer to 48. Then another minor change required a few days later took just under 24 hours.

Great work on providing this info. Hope it helps those beginning their journey. It does sound like an AA meeting though. (never been to one, just seen it on TV). --- 9 steps of a Teslaholic --- Me, nearly cured, am up to step 8. Step 1 should be: "arrived here on forum, having placed an...

Thanks. I am sorry, I dont know what ship mine was on as I never did the ship track thing. Was too busy with the Accessory research & acquisition, VIN check, RAV registry, finance, Tesla sms's, SA management, forum F5'ing, mate management, Youtube watching, charging trepidation avoidance, App...

Yes me too. just a few minutes ago.

Has anyone from Melbourne got an SMS today ??????

Dear Tesla: Can I please have a pickup'ya car SMS this week!

I reckon that for every autopilot vehicle that nearly ran over a pedestrian, there was probably dozens more human operated versions that did too. Its just a click bait story. Ch 9 news exercising their skill.

AHHHH, thats a post I cannot unsee! I am turning up a day early, play dumb: "geez I'm sorry I thought today was xxxxxday, yet I am sure you will be "acc;)mmodating"

Yeah, I have, Troopy pages. But it just doesnt have the electric vibe as these pages do! 🤣

I am about to receive my M3 and have also ordered an MY (EDD: Nov to Feb 23) When I queried Tesla about wanting to possibly delay the MY to match up with other requirements ie end of lease, wifey requests etc. I too got the short shift. In essence, 'you will wait for us for as long as it takes...

Middle-aged Male, never painted nails. Yet if it brings on an SMS to pickup car, then happy to paint them any colour Tesla wants !!!!

Ditto

Got my plethora of accessories, received my VIN, passed my Shipping Logistics crash course, and completed my Patience therapy (although the waiting room at the physiatrist's office was a bit of a paradox). Next stop: TESLA Upcoming Virtual Education Session this Thursday If only I had a car...

Vic buyer and I just got my invoice this morning. It shows the exact build date (rather than just the month/year). Getting excited now !!!!

I have a 17th to 31 AUG EDD and no Invoice or SMS yet. It was just what the SA said to me at Noon today. SA didnt portray 100% confidence themselves as there seemed to be a small element of hope in their voice. I was left with the impression they were imminent though!
