Average time between allocation and delivery?

Natural_River_3814 | 2026-02-23 04:05 | 4 views

I put a deposit down on a Shark Grey Seal Premium on January 31 and was allocated a vehicle on the 19th. The estimated delivery time on the contract is completely blank and the dealer doesn't seem to know anything about it - what have been the experience of others in terms of wait time between allocation and delivery? Does allocation happen pre-shipping to Australia or on arrival? I'm in Adelaide if that helps. It's not super important and I'm happy to be told to just be patient. But I'm curious and a bit frustrated with how little the dealer seems to know (or be willing to share) about the process. **EDIT:** In a bizarre turn of events I got the call this evening that my car will be ready for pickup on Monday. So for me, time from allocation and delivery was 11 days, and the total time from deposit to delivery was just over 4 weeks.

Lucky you. Put my deposit down the day before, and haven't been allocated anything yet. I'd be very interested to hear others' experience too.

9 days for me. Yes I was lucky, also I liked all the colours so didnt care which I got.

Mid-Nov last year still haven’t got an allocation.

Ok, so in a bizarre turn of events I got the call this evening that my car will be ready for pickup on Monday. So for me, time from allocation and delivery was 11 days, and the total time from deposit to delivery was just over 4 weeks.

I had my Shark Grey Performance on order since late November. Gave up waiting, switched to white and had the car in 5 days. They couldn't give me an ETA. It was Jan, then Feb, then March, then maybe April or May. Could be June or July... They said they are changing it up so the colour isn't exclusive anymore, so assuming they will be doing a big run on all the models in the colour. Just no idea when they are coming in.

Yup I was the same in Victoria... gave up waiting and went white.

Damn, that's rough. Are you happy with the white in the end?

Yup! Car is still awesome. Two grand cheaper and easier to keep clean. Was my second choice so all good. Black is my favourite really, but after two black cars in a row it's a nice change.

I’m still holding out for a black one. I do like the white, but my neighbour has a white one.

I ordered the Seal last August. Got it delivered last week of November

Same time in Brisbane. Was promised Dec then Jan then Feb and now at latest April-May, absolute insanity. I got sick of their lies and have decided to go with Tesla instead even though I despise Elon
