The only feature I'd like to keep is the ability to change lanes while on autopilot. That works well. But I'm not going to bother using any of the EAP features - why get used to something you won't have in a month?

Well, I took delivery of my car today. The customer service at Mulgrave was brilliant - friendly, efficient and helpful. I took plenty of time to check the car, and could find no issues at all. Panel gaps are spot on, the lights align with the adjacent bodywork, the paint is blemish-free… It...

Tomorrow’s the day!

Between transferring the money and picking up your car, you're basically an unsecured creditor. In other words, if Tesla Australia were to go belly-up before you took delivery, you'd be at the bottom of the list when it came to getting your money back. It would be safer if you could hand over...

Thanks!

Sorry to ask, but could someone post a link to the order details spreadsheet please?

No - I'll be paying the invoice within the next 24 hours. My delivery window was already up to 16 December. I looked at the app a while after the phone call from Tesla, and it had updated to show the appointment details.

Yep, my EDD has extended as far as 13 December. Not surprising given the delay at the port.

I wonder how the weight distribution of the AWD 3 compares to that of the RWD 3? The AWD has a motor up front so even if the two cars weigh about the same, the balance is likely to be different.

This page of Model 3 rattle fixes may be useful. Also, one of the commenters on that page wrote: "…this squeaky noise in the corner of the dash on the driver’s side was there when I went in and out of a driveway or on a little bumpy road. My answer and I can’t say it will be yours, was to open...

No result when I entered my VIN, which I guess means the car is sitting on a dock in Shanghai.

I now have a VIN and an EDD (details in sig). Good!
