Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Caduceus.98]

Please note those 3 reports are all brand new members. Almost always the mark of a troll.

Any old members gotten the call? I haven't.

Sounds like a lot of calls from SA to customers today to me.

I read somewhere that Elon is talking about putting a hold on new orders.

Curious what the opinion on this is. Do you think it would be a good idea to suspend new orders, so they can catch up on the backlog ??

I have just had a call from my SA in Perth and she said that Australia won't be getting any M3's this quarter at all. My LR has been pushed back to a probable September delivery! ordered 01 Feb 22. Not the best start to the weekend

I hope they give us a definite answer, and if its next quarter they let us know so and we dont keep on anticipating deliveries for June.

They won't know, not for a long time. The production schedule for Q3 isn't known, the shipping isn't known. Chances are the first solid info will be when people on the forums start finding hidden VIN numbers as per usual.

But I can understand there is disappointment about the news.

I think it's a good move for Tesla and for consumers. The economy is too rocky right now for a solid outlook on pricing. You wouldn't want to set a price now and have the price rise or fall by a significant margin. Imagine paying 80k now and orders 15 months from now being 60k. Or 100k. You would be happy with one and decidedly not happy with another. And so would Tesla.

If yours has been pushed to September, then mine is looking like Christmas ..... maybe

Waiting for my phone call, but a delivery of September wouldn’t be the worst for me - won’t need to arrange financing at that point. Would have liked a bit more notice from Tesla, but such is life.

I haven’t had any contact, email, text or call, ever since the initial congratulations call back when I placed my order.

No call for me yet, but I did receive an email from my leasing co regarding the finance agreement expiring after 90 days, and please docusign this to extend another 90 days.

What was your initial EDD ?

No contact for me today yet. As far as i can sleuth, almost all people getting a call this morning are either midnight silver or blue orders. With one exception being a white/black LR. And all photos i have seen from Shanghai, all cars except 3 are black or white.

Still plenty of time left in the day for me to get a call however. But i will retain my optimism.

Draco - where/who did you get this information from?

Hi all, just found this forum recently. Great info in here.

The wait is so excruciating. Watching YouTube about Tesla's is getting a bit stale, just wanna drive!

My estimate for delivery: quoted 14-20 weeks plus 2 weeks delay for "components", 5 weeks delay for China lockdown. Predicting a July date. If it's after that then I'm gonna go insane haha

Ordered M3 RWD Blue/Black
OD: 13/01/2022
VIN: ???
EDD: ???
Location: Perth, WA

Got a call from SA. Apparently my car is close to the top of the queue for Perth and delivery is set for "second half" of 2022.

I "may" get a delivery date update in the next few weeks...

In the past, Tesla has passed on price drops before delivery to existing orders. If they see a significant chance of price rises in the future though, it'd make sense to suspend orders so that they don't end up on the hook for a lot of cars at loss-making prices.

Shame they can't give you anything more concrete (so you can actually be excited about it!), but I guess they don't know either

Its the follow up email from your SA after the SA breaks it to you over the phone.
