Same thing happened to me.. the first guy say I was sent the initial date in 'error'. When I spoke with someone else that afternoon, he said it was a 'reshuffle'.. I wanted to speak to logistics team.. who called back and said it was a 'glitch' in the system. They can't even get their stories...

Picked up yesterday, after 5 months of waiting. As a bonus the rego paper's say 2024 model (even though it was built 26/12/23). I hope you all get yours soon! Thanks for the company and support throughout the GC saga. Adios amigos.

Scheduled to pick up this afternoon. I'm almost certain I'm going to get a message postponing once again. The trauma of the long GC-Sufferer is real.

If it helps you feel better, there's a good chance my date will stand me up. This is the second 'date' I've had booked that got postponed...

Their business model relies on you needing them to sell you a Tesla, more than they need you to buy one, if that makes sense. Like it's been said here before.. it's like we are supposed to feel lucky that they even allow us to buy their cars! In all seriousness though, they don't care - they...

Got a "date" for valentine's day arvo. How romantic, hope there's champaign.

plug your VIN into this and see what happens! https://rav.infrastructure.gov.au/

Don't underestimate the interest of the old GC stalwarts in every possible minutiae of hope and detail. Yea just checked that as well - it's there, RAV data uploaded yesterday. no new information but confirmation that my car is 100% on the MC

I probably needed to do the same. Still haven't sorted out a charger.. If anyone in Sydney (Eastern Subs preferably) knows a reliable electrician, would be great to get a referral. They are so hard to get a hold of!

These look great, where did you order them from?

Pushed-out by an hour... yes yes I know I need a life, and it's only an hour... but I think my experience with GC has caused lifelong anxiety around shipping schedules 🤣.

I strangely miss the GC.. If you ever questioned your sense of purpose, imagine the crew onboard the GC -- go through all that just to bring the cars right back. Currently in Shanghai, probably getting debugged.

Looks like it's waiting it's turn for Fisherman's Berth 1. 5th in line.....

I think you would still benefit from a resale value perspective, surely. It's a bummer that you need to wait a month longer but, but I think on the balance this is a good outcome. And like you say there may be a surprise refresh - you never know.

Let's not jump to any conclusions just yet! 🙃

26th December for me as well

Where did you hear this?

There would be no benefit to Tesla in reassigning us new cars. We are written off in regards to customer satisfaction so why bother. All it means is that we wait longer for delivery while they put the cars on the next ship to AU. Merry Christmas

100%. Corporate would be well aware of the circus bringing the soft refresh would cause while there are undelivered GC stock. What a *sugar* show

Y Your EDD will change on or close to the 20th. Not trying to be a naysayer - but there is no way a December delivery will happen if you're on the GC. Remember that when the cars are offloaded they still need to be delivered to Tesla - who then needs to arrange a delivery date with you. Not to...

Hmm then we would need to deal with insurance - from the Tesla T&C's: "The carrier will insure your Vehicle while in transit and you will be the beneficiary of any claims for damage to the vehicle or losses occurring while the vehicle is in the possession of a common carrier." So if such an...

Thanks for checking! In the Tesla T&C's they explicitly say that the 'the order fee is not a deposit for the vehicle' (see link below) - but I guess for the purposes of the rebate, it counts as one...

Are you in NSW? This is from the NSW gov website. It just says 'purchased or placed a deposit' - which I assume does mean that you had an invoice so you could pay for it. I don't think the $400 order fee counts as a 'deposit'. may be worth asking Tesla whether they can assure you an invoice by...

You mean, since last week :). Welcome and hope your delivery isn't 'plagued' like it is for the GC customers 🤞

Just a PSA: For those buying on NL, I would suggest calling/emailing your NL company to advise them of the delay - and extend your contract start date (I did mine to Feb 4). They 'should' get this info from Tesla but as we've heard here, it doesn't always happen. This will ensure you don't...

Yea we've had a few of those on this forum :D

Well since I didn't really claim that anything I said is 'correct', you are probably correct. I'm not sure you read my post correctly. But what makes you think that this is definitely a stink-bug issue? Not one piece of official comms said anything about stink-bugs?

Exactly this. If nothing else, at least we got this piece of gold:

In theory I would agree - about any other brand. I've realised through this process that Tesla as a bit of a cult following and I highly doubt this is going to hurt their sales at all. One ship full of disgruntled customers is nothing for the brand and there is a queue of freshies who will...

This is a great business strategy. They will then charge some other customer $400 so they can assign your VIN to them. I'm beginning to think Tesla make more money from people cancelling than they do from supplying cars.

Just two points: 1) DAFF seem to need 14 day's to 'clear' the ship - I assume this is based on the fact that she ship seems to be docking roughly every two weeks? Not sure if this is set in stone, or just based on DAFF's workflow for that time. 2) In the past the QSHIP Planned Movements have...

There, fixed it for you :) 🙃 😭

DAFF has always been the factor. All the hold-up is because DAFF hasn't cleared it for docking - there hasn't been anything official to say otherwise.

haha I just got the email, mine says 'New South Wales'. .. I think they are just <insert customer's local port>

Like you mean the two we already got since start of November - or is there a third one? Let me guess, it has no actual info in it

Welcome to the forum. You can go ahead and disregard anything you don't see in the QSHIPS schedule.

Yep, Tesla is giving us the beachside living experience, for free! We should be so grateful :cool:.

If you have just joined us:

Welcome to the forum

I see, sorry to hear of your issues, mate, you seem to have had more bad luck with this that most here. The NL company in your case clearly stuffed up and they are pushing the problem on to you. I called mine and they reluctant agreed that I could cancel if I chose to, without penalty, until...

We are on page 666 of this thread. If Tesla can't help us, maybe the devil can. I'm open to help from anyone at this point.

I'm seriously considering this as well. Though based on a post earlier, it looks like if you order again now, you're gonna end up with a car on the GC anyway. May need to wait it out a bit and order sometime in Q1, once we can confirm that we won't be allocated a left over reject from the GC...

Dude it's Dec 11, and the ship is still off the coast of Brisbane with no confirmed movement date. There is no way you're getting it this year. If you're serious about cancelling, then you may be better off doing it now to rejoin the queue earlier (if that's even how it works) 🤷‍♂️.

It's okay GC, if my grapefruit tree was a boat, it wouldn't be allowed to dock either.

Looks like it (had to google it!). I think the one time I did it, I just hit them all with an insecticide I had on hand. I usually wouldn't care that they are around, but out cat keeps getting sprayed in the eye by them. And now that we have young kids running around, probably not ideal to...

Yep same. Tmr is going to be a scorcher, look at the base of your tree - they will all climb down and huddle up together. Good opportunity for eradication if that's what you want to do.

No matter which way you look at it, the GC should really be docked before your pay is.

I'd check your garage, maybe Tesla did a Surprise Delivery overnight.... seriously though, what are the implications of starting repayments prior to delivery of vehicle? I realise that it 'shouldn't' matter as the lease term will remain the same.. but just doesn't sound right...

A bit of publicity ain't gonna change the EDD. But, I'm a cheap date, so if all it results in is Tesla being 'shamed' into giving me a free UMC, I'll be happy. But with everything else going on in the world, the collective whinging of a few privileged Tesla buyers (me included) ain't gonna...
