    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Haha no need to tag, I haven’t let a single post get by me on this forum since November 😂

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah I agree, my path to EV is very similar. And in fact even when I decided EV was the way to go, I absolutely hated Teslas and thought they would be the last car I would ever own. But after test drives of all the EVs available, my opinion completely reversed and now I couldn’t really see...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I’ll just add this is also my second time buying a brand new car, but the first time in atleast 8 years. And back when I last bought it was the old days of find the car on car sales, go in to the dealer and buy said car, drive that car home that same day. So I’m definitely not used to this...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah I’m unfortunately stuck without a car for another month as I had planned to get rid of mine by early Feb thinking my Tesla would be here close to then.. that was a gamble that didn’t pay off.. I called Tesla, they essentially said they have no idea what happens in the background. The car...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah I’m just extremely frustrated with Tesla, my mate who ordered a Jag last year a week after I ordered my Tesla, has been able to track his car the whole way including it having to take a detour around Africa because of that fiasco, and his delivery estimates remained the same since they were...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My dates just change from 04 Feb - 11 Mar now set at 20 Feb - 23 Mar. At this point I’m really off Tesla. Just seems like their organisation is shithouse. This means the car will have been sitting in Port Kembla for a month before arriving at the DC.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah I messaged them, got the following: “Hi Shaun, Thanks for getting in touch. At this stage, it is likely that your Tesla will be arriving at the delivery centre in the next 1-2 weeks. It shouldn't be much longer until you receive a scheduling link via SMS. This is just an estimate...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah I’m on Paganella too, really hoping for an SMS this week to schedule. My EDD is still from 04 Feb onwards!

    White on white does look sick in that graphic

    Still no message to schedule delivery, damn these over-optomistic estimates getting my hopes up

    Anyone ever fitted euro size plates to a Tesla? I was an idiot an ordered some custom ones without thinking and now realise they may not fit or look good..
  12. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah there is a lack of any news coming from PK regarding cars getting transported from Paganella. I hope there aren’t any issues with quarantine keeping the cars there
  13. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    seems to be taking a long time for delivery to be booked in from PK to Sydney, I hope there ain’t any bugs found..
  14. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Still sitting on 04/02 - 11/03 for EDD, hoping for an express delivery text before the weekend, wbu?
  15. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Were you able to book for delivery without the need for an SMS or email?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Anyone with cars from Paganella on RAV yet?
  17. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Anyone with their car on Paganella had their VIN added to RAV yet? Hoping for some updates today.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I will be quite disappointed and looking to sell my Tesla shares if this company seriously built a car with a defective part on the same day they shipped the repair parts from the same factory to Australia to repair said defective parts 😂 not impossible, but let’s hope they didn’t do that
  19. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    For those with cars on Paganella, I’m hoping because they had to fly the new shelf in from Shanghai, and that our (mine atleast) build dates are 09 Jan, maybe ours will already have the new shelf. Means straight to the DC for delivery!
  20. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My invoice came and went today, is it normal for it to randomly disappear?
  21. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Jeez 23 Feb is very delayed, wonder if that’s just how long it’s taking to rectify the shelf
  22. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Paganella is due to arrive in PK on 27 Jan. So depending on how long the back shelf fitting takes and what the backlog is with current cars, we may be on track for 14 Feb
  23. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Do you need to have paid before you will be able to schedule delivery? Has anyone actually scheduled delivery prior to the NL paying?
  24. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Was told by my SA
  25. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Delivery date updated to 14 Feb today (Sydney), when would you normally expect invoice to be available? I have a vin, car is on Paganella arriving PK 27 Jan.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Y Yeah My SA responded today that he doesn’t have much info, but doesn’t expect my delivery (15 Feb-22 Mar) to actually happen in March, reckons it’ll be Feb. He was replying to my concern about the back end of the EDD increasing by two weeks. I take that with a grain of salt though because...

    Might be coming on Paganella due to arrive Thursday, sailed from Shanghai 14th Jan

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    From the highland fb group: “I went to Tesla yesterday and they told me they have about 2000 cars sitting at the port in Brisbane waiting for the new parcel shelves to arrive and be installed. They said it’s going to take a few weeks to get all cars ready. I’d say you are a month away from...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Update from Tesla, apparently they are having “issues” with sending out invoices for orders on the next couple of ships.. all they could say is “your invoice will be available prior to delivery of your vehicle” even though my delivery date is Feb 15. I don’t believe them and I would say they...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    For those with cars on Paganella, can see why she is taking the long route. Would much rather my car get here undamaged..

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Are you leasing through Smart Leasing?
  34. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Everything I am seeing is telling me the delivery won’t be until the back end of the EDD now, which sucks because I have made arrangements to sell my current transport in Feb thinking my car will be here in mid Feb not late March. Tesla just be honest with us, we are adults, we can take it haha
  35. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    This biggest worry is seeing how Tesla has no issue updating someone’s EDD last minute to extend the delivery window, the fact they are doing it this early means they must know it will blow out 😔
  36. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah they did the same to me, it’s that massive extension on the back end of the EDD I’m worried about.
  37. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    So how many have had their delivery date window pushed back by two weeks now?
  38. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah I have looked at the inventory a couple of times weighing up changing my order vs waiting the extra month delay (if not more) for the highland. The MYP looks sexy
  39. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah same thing as mine, I hope they didn’t just bring it forward one day to make you forget about pushing it back 14 days 😂
  40. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Over a month long delivery window is Teslas way of saying “we have no idea stop asking for your car”
  41. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My delivery date just updated from Feb 16 - Mar 08 now at Feb 15 - Mar 22… no idea why it would update a day earlier and 14 days later.. not a good sign
  42. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    N Nah if you haven’t been matched with a car it doesn’t affect queue to move DC
  43. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I cannot believe this, I think I have been duped by Tesla and EVs in general!! You mean to tell me that electric vehicles are in fact NOT designed primarily for long distance driving...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    For the NSW people, if you don’t have personalised plates, it looks like our plates are gonna start with FEB XXX 😂 dunno how I feel about it
  45. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Just got confirmed that my car is on Paganella! Happy days, it’s scheduled to be alongside PK on 02/02 but I recon it’ll get there much earlier at this rate. Also the response as to whether my car will be affected by this compliance thing was “we are investigating if it affects you” so who knows.
  46. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I saw in my rego papers that my car is a my2024 not 2023.5. Wonder what the chances are Tesla has fixed this middle seat issue for 2024 cars? Surely..
  47. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeaaaah boiii! Hopefully our deliveries aren’t delayed too much by this stop delivery.
  48. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I expect this will create a bottle neck of deliveries if it lasts a few weeks, pushing all other deliveries back as the DCs try to get as many cars out as possible. Make sure you do your proper checks when picking the car up fellas!
  49. SHAUN MENDEZ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I just got a VIN!?!?!? Sydney grey LR. EDD now Feb 16 - Mar 8 which would indicate it’s probs on Paganella coming alongside 02 Feb (although much likely earlier than that as it gets to Bris 24 Jan).

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Hi all, I am visiting from the Model 3 waiting room. We are hoping there is some space left over on Paganella for some model 3s but reading here it sounds like everyone who has a car on that ship has already been told. Is that actually the case or only the poor GC people?
