    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    So, yesterday was the day when Zappi went in for tint and paint protection with my NL company's choice - MotorOne. Results seem very similar to previous experience with OptiCoat Pro and GTechniq Crystal. There is extra gloss and depth and it sheds water like a beast. Happy with the tint also...

    I did the same. With a little bit of Google and YouTube you master it pretty quickly. When the software update becomes available, don’t start it if you need to go anywhere soon. It says 30 minutes, but mine took about 45.

    Quick question for those who have recently taken delivery and purchased via novated lease. How long did it take for the $400 deposit to be refunded?

    Don't know. Is it possible to adjust the volume of the lock sound? Since the 2024.14.3 update it is super loud.

    Consider some of the other public chargers. I tried my local BP Pulse charger yesterday to add a sneaky 12Kwh in 12 minutes while I ducked into Woolworths. I've never seen it in use. So far topping up nightly using the Tesla mobile charger off the 10A plug is doing the job. Will be good when...

    That’s it. Drop it off and leave them a key to be able to get in/out and move it. The detailers you chose are pros and will prep it to the point it looks better than Tesla had it.

    Awesome. It’s always worth checking, but the Chinese built Teslas supposedly have much better build quality.

    Excited for you! Make sure you post some photos. I don't have a Tesla anymore. My wife has commandeered it! It was a great 36 hours...

    For me, I got the invite to schedule the delivery appointment 3 days after arrival in Australia. The appointment offered was a further 12 days. I suspect if will vary depending on the number of vehicles. The Tesla guy at delivery yesterday said that they had unloaded about 1,000 vehicles in...

    Geez, I know we're a little behind the times up here, but NSW doesn't have a monopoly on progress,,,, 🤣 In QLD the blue EV triangles (and yellow hydrogen pentagons) are required for any EV/Hybrid (or hydrogen powered) vehicle built after 1 January 2019. The rule came in to effect on 1...

    Couple of photos in the sunshine & now feasting on electrons at home. Put nearly 100Km on her today - an absolute pleasure to drive. Well worth the wait. And the audio system....😮

    I asked my provider early on about this scenario. They said the rate at time of approval would apply if rates increased before settlement whereas the saving from a reduction would be passed on.

    Best to confirm with your NL company. The NL company commonly structures the finance to commence in month 3 and run for the lease term less 2 months (i.e. 5yr lease = 60mth - 2mth = 58mth). This allows some money to build up in the NL account to cover initial expenses and have a buffer so that...
