The AIS has the Thalatta just about to enter Fremantle port after spending the last 24 hours circling 15 km northwest of Rottnest Island. :D(y)
Yes, they are just docking it in NQ12.
Now, does the quarantine start now or did they do that whilst waiting outside port?

That's pretty cool, its really nice to see! I was told quarantine (inspection) are done on shore.
I have a feeling (after doing some research) that because they have been sitting at Zeebrugge for so long they impose a biological security threat as they may have picked up seed/insects from waiting at the dock.

No. I have it now. They finished earlier than 4:30pm and I picked it up earlier.

Restyled Australian flag number plates already ordered.

Red A's attached to bonnet and tailgate.

TRIVIA: it was registered as a 2024 model.
Thought it might have been an MY24

The model year is the 10th digit of your VIN (before the F for Hambach). The model year is

P -> 2023
R -> 2024
S -> 2025
T -> 2026
All of the vehicles delivered to the US are 24 year models, made in 23. Where as the Australian delivered models are 23s. From what I can ascertain the MY24 have the new safety tech.

From @morganoc spreadsheet it appears that Vin above 10400, for the Australian market are listed as 24 (R) and those under are listed as 23 (P). Some for the American market are listed as 24 (R) but have VIN's in the 6 & 7K mark.

I was able to automate the lookup and extraction of data from the Wallenius website. So one push of the button gets pretty much all the data within a provided CRN range and populates the spreadsheet (almost) instantly. I've attached a copy I did just now (showing my VIN as arrived (y)).

Regarding Model Year, I suppose the decisions made to offer different countries different specifications at different times is something that all car companies do.

From what I've seen, in general, USA will always get some of the highest/latest spec cars regardless of make or model due to the size and competitiveness of the market. Australia, on the other hand, will be the last to receive updates or modifications. That's because a) the size of the market and b) Australians will queue up to buy anything. Just look at the interior of the Patrol in AU vs the interior of the Patrol in the Middle East.

Thank you @morganoc for doing that as it is much appreciated as it's good to get confirmation of the latest delivery dates.

Well said regarding specs of cars here! Edited.
I find some parts of ADAS not essential but very useful but I can work around whatever my 23 spec car lacks by good old fashioned paying attention, but we do suffer appalling driving standards here!

Off topic, but one thing you quickly learn is how hard the rooftop switched are to read.

@grnamin over here gives a link to toggle switch stickers.

The downside is postage cost to Australia. My stickers are on the way. When postage is so high I bought a B&W set and a colour set x 2. I expect to have a spare B&W and colour set of stickers. They fit the tapered toogle switch and are made of vinyl.

Probably cheaper stickers elsewhere, but the look OEM on the rooftop panel.

Where’s the difference - govt charges??
I was told mine may be different because of some rego costs, but my invoice is the same as contract.

Well, the WA stamp duty is $7k so that's what I'm thinking, if it's not then, happy days!

$7,000 - that adjustment makes more sense to question. Not $7. Sounds like IA have stuffed it up. The invoice should be itemised, so compare it to your contract.

That's the issue, there is no itemisation on the invoice, below is the contract, below that is the invoice
