Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[Goneincognito]

Yesterday. They said via email “As the delay is not under our control, we are unable to provide any compensation, we are just working to find a solution to get you behind the wheel as soon as possible.” They also said the batteries would be fine as the cars were in low power mode.
I don’t think I was offered EAP as I had already purchased it as an option.

Well that kinda makes sense...
Why would they give you 6 months of something you have already got?

The EAP is to be honest, the most placid offer from Tesla. Not that I'm ungrateful but the EAP features are mostly gimmicks, except perhaps the auto lane change.
I'm not too fussed. I think that some points on their app would be best, then we can use it to exchange for some supercharger use, a few months of premium connectivity, or EAP, etc...

I wonder if Tesla are actually hoping that we'll all cancel our orders.
In a way, that would actually help them.
Soon as we cancel, we're no longer a PR nightmare, they don't have to scramble to fix the problem and they can sell the cars to other folk saying that they'll be delivered in March.
Sure, they'll lose our business, but after all that (hasn't?) happened, that's now on the cards anyway.
My order was placed in August and I was sent the "we'll look for another car" email, not the EAP offer.

There's around half a billion dollars in sales on that ship. Pretty sure they wouldn't want you all to cancel!

So I just visited Tesla parramatta and spoke to a sales rep. He said the next ship with Model Y’s is expected to arrive in Australia by the end of January and delivery from Feb.

Those who ordered early with a VIN is expected to have a new VIN assign in the coming weeks with a build date of late Sept/Oct.

He also mentioned Tesla will no longer be using GC vessel in the future after this whole debacle. So we can all expect a different ship for our Model Y’s on the next batch and hopefully this time it doesn’t get caught up with quarantine .

According to my current assigned VIN, my car already has a late September build date.

 

[Steven Dorrell]

yeah my car on the GC had a build date of 25 Sept so i think there turning the cars around from the GC when it arrives otherwise we would most likly get cars with a build date Oct Nov DEC depending on production schedules.

and with a end Jan arrival that gives them time to return them.

hopefully no issues with biosecurity this time around

 

[MrPinkyMalinky]

Huh.. my VIN in the app is now different from the invoice PDF I mailed to the lease company so I’d appear I’ve already been reassigned? No word from Tesla as of yet

Oh and my EDD changed once again from 10 Feb - March 3 to 5 Feb - 25 Feb

 

[Teddy2]

Yeah 26/9/23 Build date here so it's been in the wild over three months now...

Exactly 12 months ago Tesla decided to give all owners who didn't have it, a month free of EAP whether you wanted it or not. My experience was mainly limited to using it on a Sydney - Melbourne return trip using the Hume Hwy, and I preferred the car without it using just the bog standard "autopilot". The auto lane change was ok if there was little traffic around but my preference was to have the car without it.

You made me check. Mine has changed as well and the expected delivery is two weeks earlier on the app.

 

[Goneincognito]

My VIN has changed and have new EDD Feb 5- Feb 26.
What's a good VIN decoder so I can see the build date?

Tesla couldn’t be silent anymore! The more “noise”, the better it is. They should have learned a lesson from past experience! Cargo ship carrying thousands of Teslas is kicked out of Australia

 

[sbansal]

+1 on change of VIN and my delivery date is 1 week earlier.

 

[MrPinkyMalinky]

Would appear I’m finally released from GC’s stinky grip. Now just need to wait to find out what ship the new car is on so I can obsess over that instead!

Pretty lame to say orders are on hold indefinitely. It’s the Daily Mail though.

Which one of you spoke to the press?!?!?!

 

[pt73]

New VIN and EDD now Feb 2 - Feb 23.

I just checked my application for registration which was also updated, fields in yellow need to be completed and form sent back.

Lucky I checked ........

 

[Jason Ong]

Mine hasn’t been updated. Still have the same VIN. Probably because my leasing company already paid for the car.

 

[Kevin Li]

For changed VINs can you check if it’s a later built date? Otherwise they could’ve just shuffled VINs reassignments around on vehicles that were in the GC?
