Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[dronus]

Anyone who had a car arrive via DJ in early January in Melbourne heard anything lately? Those cars have been in the country for a few weeks now, but Melbourne deliveries seem to have slowed right down.

They all have - cira parcelshelf-gate

Well, I've joined the club of people who have sold their old car in preparation for the new one.

Time to get more excited and Tesla to hurry up!

Here is a picture of the other person experiencing the same thing.

Does that car have big dents in the door already?

I can assure you there is no correlation between any of those 3 events hahaha

 

[dronus]

Yeah I'm still seeing the unloading of FA to occur tomorrow 1st Feb. It has been like that for a few days.

On a side note, I realised that Viking Passama had its destination updated yesterday arvo (to Auckland) but it is still sitting there. Does that mean it has been unloaded and was meant to head off, but something has happened?

I think that destination changes as they log their next voyage.

Kinda like lodging a flight plan.

Yep, that car looks like it's been through hell already. I've seen multiple people on the page showing various damage occuring already its crazy.

When i see cars banged up like that i wonder what else they have done to it that hasn't made it online, especially if they complain something isn't right.

They just updated FA departure date to 2 Feb

It was 1 Feb. But this also makes sense because it’s set to unload on the 1st.

Don't you worry! By July they will wash your tesla 10 times and finally customs-clear whatever is left of it.

 

[Rosier]

Hopefully I’ll be able to upgrade it to a 2025 by the time they are ready to deliver the cars on FA

Some snaps this morning from Adelaide. I found one white M3 @sishome! Of note, over 95% of these are RWD. A black one had so much bug splatter on the rear, it made me sad seeing it bake in the sun. Some were much cleaner than others, no doubt based on their position on the trucks.

They are all awaiting the parcel shelf swap.

Thank you so much for the photos - amazing work!
An interesting ratio of colors there, would've expected more whites.

 

[Caine_LA]

Picking up mine tomorrow morning. I would have thought you should have heard by now?

Yeah, I expected to get an update by now, but it didn't seem like anyone was taking delivery in Melbourne. I've sent an email off just checking if there is anything further I need to do - all looks OK though. Great to hear you're picking up tomorrow though!

 

[Tony Soprano]

My car from the Paganella had just popped into RAV

Lots of Stealth Grey!

Might go for a drive to Melbourne this weekend or early next week...

I wonder if any ships will still be on port?

Ohh dear, maybe i should go there for something else?

If you do and stop in Ballarat, go to the Superchargers at Lucas (V3) and not Wendouree (V2).

The other advantage is just not having to be in Wendouree

Ohh yeah i was thinking about stopping there, when i went thru in my ice car around xmas i found one of the supercharger sites and posted it in the ballarat thread, think it was Wendouree. Was over the road from a woolworths shop

Ohh the place i stayed at that night just out of Ballarat was "interesting". Good though because i could have my dog with me. Would have been the first animal staying over night there though hahaha

There is a white one, but it's not mine.

Are the new built model Ys from Giga Shanghai coming with those RGB ambient lights that were shown off in October, along with fabric dash?
