Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

- Start date
Maybe we need to employ Sherlock Holmes to work it out because I’ve got no idea. It appears to me there seems to be a large disconnect between the information given to customers and Tesla’s production procedures.
Two different values. The Luxury Car Tax for fuel efficient vehicles ($84,916) is the upper limit for FBT exemption under the Government's proposed EV policy.
The Car Limit ($64,741) is the upper limit that employers can claim tax benefits as part of a lease agreement. Some employers with their lease agreements permit this as long as the employee covers the additional tax the employer has to pay. I have a lease quote for a M3LR, there's a ~$100/month additional levy in the quote to cover this.
This is based only the data that is public (which is an unknown sample size).
Tesla seem to have prioritised LR orders in WA/SA in order to get those vehicles on to a car carrier that meets a trans-shipping booking in Australia. After that only orders up to around 10 Dec have had a vehicle allocated. Whether they get more LR/P vehicles on to that carrier to service east coast later in December or January orders (yours and mine) is in the lap of the gods.
Morning Clara has been docked for a while now and still has the same draught as when it arrived. Must be some pretty light forklifts...
Many thanks for this! If you get a chance, adding a VIN column (just the first 4 digits of the last 6) would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys!!

Looks like the Performance is going to take a few more months! Everyday I feel like I’m getting Bipolar… keep saying to myself… it’s not a necessity so it’s ok to be patient…. The next day looking at last year’s used models feeling like I can’t wait any longer and I’ll just spend an extra $10-15k!!! I know it’ll be worth the wait with the upgrades in CPU and other extra features… but from experience, the wait is worse than being pregnant for 9 months and just wanting the baby to come out!

I think it's something the crew needs to update manually in the AIS transponder (along with their next destination) and there wouldn't be much point doing so until loading is finished and they're about to get underway

Hang in there. I ordered my M3P on 6/11/21 with an 8-12 week delivery. It finally arrived 7-1/2 months later on 18/06/22.Hey guys!!

Now I’m driving it, the wait is long forgotten.
Not sure if anyone else has theorised this yet, but here is my uneducated and unjustified opinion of why eastern seaboard vins haven’t been allocated yet/aren’t being prioritised.
I reckon they are making all the cars we need (or at least the bulk of them) but are only allocating VINs to owners who require a secondary transport service after they arrive in Australia and therefore need to be booked ahead of time.
The rest of us I’m major cities will get allocated cars once the ship has left china as there is time to manage the more straightforward delivery process. This would be consistent with the previous allocation process where cars are allocated once they have left china.
Wishful thinking or pure genius?

I wonder if you are right, as our account page says an invoice will be uploaded *shortly* and that a delivery representative will contact us following this. So maybe they’re going to get the cars here then allocate.Not sure if anyone else has theorised this yet, but here is my uneducated and unjustified opinion of why eastern seaboard vins haven’t been allocated yet/aren’t being prioritised.

Me too. I'm hoping my SA's initial estimates of a late July allocation and September delivery are correct.
My Macquarie rep emailed me last night to see how everything was going ...
Good thinking, Major city, i am sure us miners in Perth will have issue with that .....Not sure if anyone else has theorised this yet, but here is my uneducated and unjustified opinion of why eastern seaboard vins haven’t been allocated yet/aren’t being prioritised.

Could be true, here's hoping. I'm clinging to the hope that (even) Tesla wouldn't assign vehicles to WA orders so far ahead of non-WA unless they have enough other cars (of required design) to roughly match the same order date range. I know we probably expect more of a strict first come first served than demonstrated by Tesla, but there must be some concept of fairness. Or not and in the next quarter there will be lots of posts hoping that Tesla catches non-WA states up this time.Not sure if anyone else has theorised this yet, but here is my uneducated and unjustified opinion of why eastern seaboard vins haven’t been allocated yet/aren’t being prioritised.
