Tesla Model 3 international release, price: Australia deliveries begin in September

Following Tesla's massive success in North America, the company is on a roll in expanding its business to other continents. In the latest updates about the worldwide release of Tesla Model 3, customers in Australia and Norway have received good news about the electric vehicle's deliveries.

Tesla is different from other carmakers in many ways, including the process of how customers order and receive their car. For the company's products such as Tesla Model 3, the common practice is that the vehicles are pre-ordered and customers will have to wait for a delivery appointment.

Electric car enthusiasts and Tesla fans have been sharing updates on social media. It has been confirmed that Tesla Model 3 deliveries across Australia will begin as early as Sept. 9 while others are set to get their car up to Sept. 23.

Meanwhile, some issues were already encountered by Tesla customers regarding Tesla Model 3 deliveries. Some have complained about getting delivery appointments in Melbourne even though they have registered their addresses in Tasmania and Perth.
