My local Mitsi dealer said "its only a month, wait for Pajero Sport. 3 coming in May." and apparently, Nissan has caught up with Patrol orders? Who knows what the real story is on shortage.

Maybe it’s like my situation. Ordered 2 containers of material for start of Feb and mid March back in Dec’21. Got nothing in Feb and nothing was coming in March according to supplier and then both containers arrive late March stuffing up our storage space.

Not really. We are a tiny market for them. They sold 300,000 plus cars in Q1 and 4000 odd in Australia. We don't get a steady supply because most of the production is skewed to the Chinese market. They do our orders in batches so some months will have multiple ships arrive and others will only have 1 ship arrive.
If we were LHD, it might've been better but can't beat Chinese demand. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

No it’s not, think about it……
This is not “sales”, it’s two ships arriving in the same month and delivering already sold cars to buyers. Tesla is up to nine months wait on vehicles, they need to start ramping up deliveries and start offering the Y, that would really get sales going….. By my estimate, Tesla sales have increased 50% this year and that’s only with the 3. A second gigafactory is being built in China to produce the Y, maybe 12 months away.. |

The trend has been to deliver 1,000 a month, something controlled by shipping,
If wait times are now blown out from four months to nine, that would explain why YTD deliveries are only 3,000 odd…. Tesla doesn’t divulge deliveries but it seems someone leaked info and sounds like they hashed the message… |

For the last time, that was the 4417 number, not the 3097.
It was incorrectly marked as third then corrected to 5th Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

Well now that Tesla has agreed to share data, I’m sure that we’ll get verification of at least quarterly and year to date sales. The fact that Musk sees fit to share data is because he wants to show people the rise of Tesla, I think it’s hurting German lux sales.

4417 or 3097 sales, it doesn’t matter for now but if the Q2 figure is over 8,000, you can bet Tesla will be crowing about it. Australian buyers really wants the Tesla Y crossover, so the sooner Tesla gets that here the better for sales increase.

Same issue though in that Y demand is so high overseas, it makes little sense supplying our market. The Standard model coming in under the Rebate cap for most states is deliberate as well. $67,999 plus on roads. Pretty decent value there. Sent from my Pixel 5 using Tapatalk

I hear that Tesla is just commenced building a second gigafactory in China but understand these take a while to come on line but shows intent to grow production and sales both in China and in our region. |

Our system was expensive, but it gives us peace of mind. Tesla have actually visited us a couple of times to review our system installation, check the quality, and rate the promised delivery performance. We won’t be going Euro Lux, that’s for sure. If a Tesla makes sense we’re probably sold. |

I wish we got the Powerwall+ but as usual, we miss out locally. Tesla wont do V2G/H and I wouldn't use a car battery cycles for home use. I wouldn't mind being able to use it in an outage though.

The best part of our system is the App / software for monitoring and chasing the “best cost fit” via AI. A car with that kind of a software application would be amazing. |

We were waiting for Powerwall 3, but that is probably 4 or 5 years away now (after our installation) and may “dove tail” nicely with a vehicle purchase especially if they really are integrated.
