Done the whole 'hit the advanced button' 5 times and everything as well. Per jason66's post a couple of pages back, puts me in the bottom 3%. I've driven the car every day in the past 3 months so not like it's been missing out on use.

Why am I still stuck on 2020.8.3 :(

I reported it the same day I got the car. Luckily TOCWA have lent me a spare until it arrives. I guess it's a bit concerning that there isn't a single one available in Australia, and hasn't been for 2 months at least. I haven't got the HPWC installed - my own fault for not pushing the matter...

So I've had my car 8 weeks as of today. Still waiting for my UMC to turn up :(

Both cars are value for money for their performance - just that our latest purchases are in a completely different ballpark! I think I read somewhere that people who bought a Skoda spent more time researching their car than any other marque. I dare say they didn't include Tesla in their survey...

I drive the wife's Octavia once a week just to remind me how good i have it. And she left me with no fuel tonight, had to visit a servo for the first time in over 2 months...ugh In about 3 years or so when there's an electric wagon option that's a similar size then we'll be very interested.

You could've seen mine, but I've been sick all long weekend and it's barely left the garage :(

Mine is running the same version. Hopefully something will come through on wifi this week.

Got my car earlier today. Been a pretty busy 8 hours since. Surprised my Dad when I turned up to collect some documents from him in a Red SR+. Got lectured for spending so much money on a car (as expected, and why I didn't tell him earlier...). Showed him fart mode - can't remember the last...

I was wondering if I'd get my car before page 500. The forum won the race...just. 19 hours to go.

Perhaps, but as I have an SR+ I'm guessing not too many would've paid the extra $30,000+ for that :)

Mine is Tuesday at 4pm. Must admit I think I got lucky as I didn't have a reservation. I reckon what happened is that a few people who ordered red then changed to white when it became the 'free' colour, so that shifted me up the list a bit. Build date of 11 July supports.

Well after a bit of whinge about Pepper last night, they got me the contract this morning, and there's typos. Sent it back to get fixed...dammit. On better news, my car's delivery date has moved forward by a day. Only 5 sleeps to go!

Ah right, thanks. Guess I just keep waiting for the contract.

Wonder what happens for those of us who get them delivered via the back of a truck.

Interesting catching up with this thread after coming home from work. I note a few people had some interesting sales order information in their source code wrt small amounts still to pay. i have this as well. However, what I'm finding a bit strange is that the source code reflects the $3,000...

Ok cheers. Lucky I live close to work so could make it home easily within the timeframe. In saying that, nice way to confuse the heck out of people re timing. I've already said to my boss that I'll have to leave an important meeting early...now I'll be leaving extremely early it seems...

Enjoy mate. Fingers crossed they all get fixed without any dramas. For my own knowledge - my delivery appointment is 4pm on Wednesday week, do you think I should be expecting 2pm instead?

But what's the comparison rate? I remember looking at financing options for a Renault Kangoo on behalf of my work. Interest rate was 4.99% (which was pretty good for 2015), but then when I factored in the ridiculous establishment fees, annual fees and loan servicing fees, and all of a sudden the...

We pay the most duty on the Model 3 purchase by a longggggggg way, so we need it to even things out. Even with my current car (with RAC) it's cheaper with comprehensive, i don't get it either.

You could've done us all a favour and jumped the fence to get better photos ;)

Got my forms to sign for the Department of Transport today. And they made a typo on the year of manufacture (2016)...emailed back straight away to advise but they haven't sent the corrected form back yet. Almost tempted to fix it on the PDF software myself.

Shame that you got the run around. i guess that's what happens with 'rare' cars at decent prices.

And....it's gone

I'd been wondering about the 4433XX and 4434XX builds. I note that Aaron Green on youtube had a build around that VIN as well. My VIN is 4429XX with a build date of 11 July, so they were built a bit out of order then.

Yep, but that happens a lot on carsales.

May well be the case, yes. Only took a week from order to delivery and it had to come to Perth so reasonably quick. Their English is terrible, not that that means anything... Interestingly I just logged into my Ebay account, and rather than accept a return, they've decided to refund me in full...

Well - regardless of the previous 7 pages, it's been overtaken: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2014-tesla-model-s-85-auto/OAG-AD-17594121/?Cr=0 Assuming it's all fine and has none of the issues of the subject of this thread, then someone is getting a good deal!

So I received the first of my accessories ordered for the car - floor mats. Picture on the Ebay ad showed RHD mats, coming from an Australian seller, so I enquired that they were definitely RHD with the seller - but they couldn't say with certainty. So they arrive today and...LHD. Well, at...

Am in the same boat mate. You'll be right - just download Plugshare on your phone and take advantage of the RAC chargers when you can.

Got my invoice earlier today - #501. This is for a red SR+, ordered 1st week of June, financed, delivery 24 September in Perth. Interesting about the break up of the invoice: Line 1: Model 3 for $59,000 Line 2: SR+ Rear Wheel Drive for $7,000 (+ Red Paint + Dealer Delivery) Wonder why they...

I have a delivery appointment booked in for 4pm on 24 September - how do I update the spreadsheet?

I'm not one of those, but it's a miserable time of year as my team is pathetic, so hears to hoping West Coast don't need to bother leaving the state any more this season either :p

Am in the 4429XX batch, am SR+ Red, no call Strange that this is quite an early VIN but appears that many of the early deliveries are 443XXX.

Indeed. Make it a multi purpose trip (AFL finals anyone?) and buy those carbon offset credits I guess...

My whinge: the fact that if someone in Perth is interested and wants a test drive, I have to either (a) tell them to fly to Melbourne / Brisbane / Sydney or (b) offer them my car to drive. I don't want them driving my car...!

Probably! I mean if my car arrives damaged, I'm meant to chase Joe Bloggs Shipping Co? Whose name I likely won't even know? I have a contract with Tesla Australia. The vehicle delivered isn't fit for purpose. I want another one etc or a full refund etc.

They don't really get Australia consumer law here do they...?

Got notification from Pepper that finance was approved this morning. Checked my Tesla account and I've moved on to the Next Steps screen - and I have a VIN! 5YJ3F7EA0KF4429XX Am in Perth Red SR+ No reservation, ordered 4 June

Exactly what I was thinking. Maybe a filter applied on the photo? Looks like the original Signature Series burgundy colour.

Yep I've been telling people September. And I didn't have a reservation and have an SR+ on the way, so I'm probably being optimistic too. Might as well be in another country.

Yeah did mention to him that what he said was a bit different to what I've read. I guess their staff are told to temper any expectations simply because HQ doesn't tell them anywhere near enough about the process. I'm still considering ordering a plain white as well as the red and see if they...

Every sat in a Hyundai Ioniq EV base model? That's a $50,000 car, and the Model 3 interior is the pinnacle of luxury in comparison.

Yes I am - I mentioned it a few pages back. I called Tesla yesterday and as expected I was told that we might not get the plain white at the same time as the US, and that the multi coat red that I eventually get matched to may have already been built by now. There's no guarantees that a plain...

I wonder what the chances are of getting a car in the new white on the first shipment? I'm thinking of ordering a second car in the new white when it comes out on 1 July, and if it doesn't make the boat, then I simply cancel that order (and keep the red car I've already ordered), and if it does...

They aren't cheaper from what I can see? Please give an example.

That's with a $750 excess, no windscreen but will probably add it. Agreed value of $75,000 for the SR+. RAC are very kind to Tesla owners! I suppose given the bullshit amount of duty we have to pay over here, that at least insurance levels it out a bit. I'm 33 and my wife is 32, both with clear...

Just quoted about $900 from RAC. Smidgeon more than I was hoping (I worked out at around $750 when entering details for a Model S), however obviously a big improvement on some of the other insurance premiums I've seen in other threads.

Yep I get that. Don't really care if we don't have one in Perth itself as I can charge at work from solar, but basically all other travel outside the 300km radius from Perth is reliant on Plugshare. Last I'll say on the matter. Enjoys your supercharger NSWers :)

Bit of a slap in the face for those of us living in a city of 2 million people with a singe supercharger 200km away to see the Newcastle region get a second one...
