Fingers crossed. They should have a refresh counter with leaderboard, perhaps a mini game on the order status.I only received that message on Tuesday this week. It did seem like a step. But who knows, I feel like this process generates ADHD diagnoses.
Agreed.
If you’re a tenant I agree that it’s a very difficult situation to get even just a 10A power point installed. If you own your apartment you should join the owners committee and start going through the EV ready building process. If anyone is owns an apartment that they rent they should be supporting the building becoming EV ready.
That’s exactly what I’ve done re:mapping out my local situation and being prepared. I don’t imagine it would be a big issue but I’d rather be prepared than not be.I'm in the same boat as you. Renting so cannot install a custom plug. Have a standard wall plug I can use at a pinch, but I would still need to buy the $550 mobile charging cable from Tesla for that.
What my partner and I have done is mapped out our nearest Tesla supercharger / Evie Charging / Chargefox locations, and will likely get rely on the ones that have cables already on site for the first month or two. Then we will get the Tesla UMC product after that, then a Type 2 to Type 2 connector, so that we are basically good to go for any situation.
Hope that helps.
Even though it still feels a bit too much like going to the petrol station each week, as for me one of the big selling points of an EV is being able to charge at home, I am sure the fact I only have to charge every 2-3 weeks and the much lower cost will balance out any sense of familiarity.
Some shopping centres have chargers so you might be able to use that while concurrently shopping or so on and so forth and what have you.Even though it still feels a bit too much like going to the petrol station each week, as for me one of the big selling points of an EV is being able to charge at home, I am sure the fact I only have to charge every 2-3 weeks and the much lower cost will balance out any sense of familiarity.
Yes, there's actually a shopping centre about 10 minutes from us that has 250kw Tesla Superchargers. Went and checked it out a couple of weekends ago. Also has 2 Coles-branded Charge Fox stations as well.
I'd say that's a bonus, nice massage while your Tesla charges
Unfortunately she will arrive early to a queue. She is scheduled to dock on the 15th (Monday):
Hope this trend continues!
Yep, mine has also updated same as you! Where are you planning on collecting from? I'm aiming for the Tesla dealership at Mount Gravatt.My estimated delivery date has updated again. It is now April 24 - May 15. Brought forward 5 days.
Might be worth checking again if you have recently received it.
As for charging, day 1 I'm planning to get the Tesla mobile connector and charge overnight from an existing socket in the garage. Fortunately there are 4 servos and a shopping centre within 5 minutes drive that have fast chargers should I need it. Longer term I'm looking at a Zappi wall charger for the garage - it seems pretty good for managing charging - you can set it so it only consumes solar that would have been exported, mange chare times to take advantage of time of use tariffs or avoid demand charge periods.
Have you considered the tesla gen 3 and charge hq. I sent them (chargehq) an email today as I am still trying to work out my best option. I can get a gen3 installed for $2400, the zappi with all the smarts will cost $4900 to do same as gen3 and chargehq.My estimated delivery date has updated again. It is now April 24 - May 15.

I'll be collecting it from the Eagle Farm delivery centre. They don't do deliveries at Tesla in the Valley. I'm at Eatons Hill in the NW, but there are chargers ranging from 50 to 200 Kw at the nearby BP, Ampol, Shell and shopping centre.
Thanks for letting me know. Will definitely look in to these.
Hey mate, could you elaborate on what needed updating? was it this?
Our delivery date was updated on the weekend. It was previously Feb - Apr 2024 but changed to est delivery May 4 - May25. I was excited to finally see some sort of date.
I picked up from Alexandria, and the wait was just over a week, between the car arriving in Aus to me picking it up. You get the “your car has arrived in Aus” email/message and not long after you get some dates to schedule your pickup.
