Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Waiting Room and Delivery Queries (No referral links)

Go to the hoegh shipping site. If its on one of their vessels, it can be tracked. You input your vin in the consignment field

Most likely on Morning Champion due to arrive Zeebrugge January 2nd. Now that you have a VIN try to relax...you just have to await notification from Tesla and offer of delivery slot...this usually happens about 10 days before delivery and reaching out to them in the interim will not hurry things up. Best of luck to all

The VIN allocation just means that a specific completed car has been matched to your order. These are not normally notified by Tesla until cars are well on their way from Shnaghai and is the first tangible sign that a specific car is on the way to you. Put another way without a VIN allocation it is less certain that a car has yet been matched to your order...so its a big deal!

The next step is that Tesla will reach out and offer a delivery date and time but that usually wont happen until about 1-2 weeks before delivery. You cant access any services on your car until you take delivery (its done on the day). Any other questions feel free to ask (for all others awaiting delivery also). Contacting Tesla for a specific delivery date is unlikely to get you anywhere other than confirm your "estimated delivery range of dates". So patience is required...thast just how it works!

As mentioned already, you cannot do anything with car until your account is activated.

However I think you can now join the Private Facebook group if you so wish.

Are all RHD Teslas made in the Shanghai factory or are some made in Berlin?

Tesla have told me any orders from now are likely March delivery dates, but that’s due to demand, I reckon there’s another 4-6 weeks to add on to that due to ships not using the Suez Canal if they are on ships from china.

bloody annoying, when I ordered my MG deliveries were slipping because of parts shortages from Ukraine and Russia (steel and wiring looms apparently) now the Red Sea situation is impacting shipping from china.

That’s a pain. So all LHD for Europe are Berlin made? Makes sense I suppose, took the factory for one market. Just a pity this situation is leading to longer delivery times

Got a call from Tesla this morning to let me know they’re planning “something big” for the first batch of M3H deliveries and they’d like to involve me as I ordered in September. Said delivery will be in the next few weeks, so it looks like the 18Jan-2Feb window is quite accurate.

I just rang Tesla to see if they could give me a better idea of when I might get my car. They told me my car hasn’t even left the port in China yet. The estimate I got was 2/3rd week in Feb.

I ordered my M3 LR on the first day they became available on October 17th.

The app is giving me an estimated DD of 18th Jan to Feb 2nd.

The deliveries were all late in Q1 last year and the year before. Not sure has much changed to suggest the schedule will magically align to the optimistic wishes of the selling team just yet.

Sounds interesting, maybe "something big" will be a 90% battery charge..... lol. Joking aside, hopefully it's something decent.

The Morning Champion docked in Zeebrugge this morning, and it was suggested by JOL1 that it might be carrying the Irish Model 3's

Fingers crossed for everybody - not a nice feeling for your big purchase to be delayed at all.

I just received an email and text saying my car is assigned, pay off balance etc.

They mentioned the below,

"We anticipate the first deliveries for the upgraded Model 3 to commence around mid-February"

My account still states 18th Jan - 2nd Feb delivery.

Just to manage people expectations!

right hand knows nothing from left hand.

to everyone, be patient, expect it later than you thought. but it shouldnt be more than 2 weeks after your expected date. there will be periods of intense activity (sign, seai, finance), and other periods of tumbleweed.

relax, if they are asking these info, the cars are on the way.

Also - plug from me - anyone selling a m3 please get in touch with me, cash to go to get one and can wait until your delivery.

It’s strange how different the process seems to be for everyone. I ordered on the same day as you and my car is the same as you bar the white interior. I have the same estimated DD too.
