    HEPA filter in Tesla Model 3?

    Also keep in mind the S/X have a positive cabin pressure system in addition the the huge HEPA filter. The positive pressure system is what really sets the S/X apart from anything else which of course the 3 can never achieve with a filter replacement. The size of the filter on the S/X is directly...

    Just to also note, she said I was not the only one and she had been rescheduling lots of appointments to Monday. She said Monday was going to be a huge day.

    Just an FYI. Received a call from my delivery specialist yesterday around 3pm to inform me of a small delay. My delivery was scheduled for Sunday @ 1pm Melbourne and has to be pushed to Monday @3:30pm. She said the Hume highway was closed for a bit causing a backup with their transport...

    Ah right! I guess I never really check the address. That’s why I looked it up, I just kind of know where it is when I go for a run. Now that I look at the article closer (with a pic) I can see it’s wrong! Cheers

    I have modified my run to swing by the warehouse and the delivery center! It’s 69 Cremorne Street. I don’t think it too secret... Tesla charges into Cremorne factory

    Yeah, came out of nowhere! I was expecting a call so was on high alert. Was in a meeting this afternoon and phone was going crazy with texts between my family about when to see Star Wars so was not paying attention. Maybe 1/2 hour after meeting ended I glanced at my txts and saw - “Your Model 3...

    Well the universe spoke. I got my delivery date!!! Dec. 22 @ 1pm - Richmond. Also via txt. Can’t compete with the reservation waits (mine would be in the 500 day range), but also hard to tell as some may not have even ordered or just ordered in Nov/Dec., etc. I can now officially say it was 203...

    Ok - time to get official on the longest wait record. I just double checked all my dates to be certain. Here goes: I ordered a M3P+ White, FSD on 1 June 2019 (I believe on a few posts I said first day for shorthand, but it was actually day 2). I have an April 2018 reservation. I switched to...

    No delivery date for me yet. Another day, another no call, and a bunch more pics of M3P+ deliveries on Facebook. Given I ordered nearly 6 months ago, what’s another missed end of quarter push :( Wailing complete for those that were worried it was getting quite!

    Awesome - congrats! I had not been too anxious over the past 200 days since I ordered on May 31, but now that all the Tongala delivery dates (mine is on Tongala too) are coming in fast and furious I can't stop thinking about when / if they will call! Ring phone ring! Ring phone ring!

    I have sadly progressed.

    If you don’t have an invoice for a car on Tongala, I think a message to Melbourne delivery is ok. My car is on Tongala, but I was invoiced back on 26 November (and I got my hidden VIN exactly like you on 6 Nov - although I ordered May 31st!). We have been in contact with Tesla quite a bit since...

    Anything could happen, but most likely for Richmond, you will get a call just before invoice generation and then a few weeks to the delivery call. When did you order?

    Awesome to see all the Synergy Keelung deliveries being scheduled.

    Great! I have the exact same config (P3+, White/White) for Melbourne, but I was on Tongala. I am hoping for a mirror copy of your week, but next week (i.e. call Monday Dec. 16, delivery on Friday Dec. 20). For the record, I am an early 2018 Reservation holder, ordered May 31, switched to white...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    There has been a bit of confusion over the MCU in the past few days in the few AU threads for the Model 3. To be clear there are two seperate systems in Teslas. One to control the on screen system (MCUx or Multimedia Control Unit) and a seperate system to control the Autopilot / FSD (HWx or...

    True that Brisbane and Melbourne get a couple days added. Also, not all cars are processed at once, so a bit of it is luck of the draw on where your car happens to be on the ship and Autonexus queue. But also we now know BirdOfPrey has a Tongala delivery for Dec. 13! Must be Sydney of course...

    Pics of Model 3s with the new grey performance wheels

    Great shots! I think this confirms the theory that Fremont has been cranking the 2020 Model 3s with the grey wheels out since mid October, but they all were put on ships for the international markets first. That's why people in the US (a few other threads in this forum) are thinking they have...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    From what I have seen in other threads in the non AU part of this site, EcoCloudIT is exactly right. You can not upgrade an MCU 1 to 2. The architecture is completely different and the way it interfaces between the two screens in an S or X is completely different. As usual, one bloke got it to...

    Almost certain the Tongala cars are at Autonexus at this point being processed (is this what you mean by PDI?). They should start showing up late next week in Sydney delivery centres for final inspection before deliveries the week of the 16th. My car is on Tongala and if Veda is right (is he...

    I saw a 2020 Performance with the gray wheels on the street today

    Here is a link to a pic of one of the first 2020 Performance with Grey wheels that has been delivered in Sydney. Keep in mind this car is now in customers hands and was built in mid-October (just takes 7-8 weeks to reach customers in AU). Pics of Model 3s with the new grey performance wheels

    Pics of Model 3s with the new grey performance wheels

    The first delivery anywhere I know of just happened in Sydney yesterday. Keep in mind, with shipping down under, it takes 7-8 weeks for us to get the cars. This one was produced mid October (Fremont). Beautiful!

    I would think based on the times we are currently seeing we might see the first Tongala deliveries end of next week, but only just. According to Veda, taking about 9 days for the first deliveries. So the 13-14 is possible. Melbourne probably the week of the 16th. My car is on Tongala and I am...

    I just received my invoice earlier this week along with that form. If you could see the whole form, it is just a dealer authorisation to register form, not a registration form.

    I saw a 2020 Performance with the gray wheels on the street today

    I am certain this is not true. They have been making the 2020 cars with Grey Performance wheels since at least 21 October! I know, I have one scheduled for delivery in Australia in two weeks. Already invoiced (that’s why I can confirm build date, model year, wheels etc). It is currently going...

    Agree. Tesla currently uses Salesforce but my guess is not flexible enough to integrate directly with their logistics systems and in country systems. They are moving away... Tesla is starting to ditch Salesforce and replace it with its own software for company salespeople

    I am not so sure. I think until our 58xxxx and 59xxxx vin ranges start to get invoices, we can’t know for sure the build date and therefore can’t confirm the ship. @Vedaprime may already know of invoices for these ranges and if not has proven incredible at predicting! We are definitely 2020...

    Maybe not the bar but certainly relevant. Also to HPSOVs point about efficiency, there are reports of Tesla making the seat heater / cooler more efficient.

    Battery Supplies and / or Delivery delays

    You are assuming GF1 is the bottleneck. I thought currently the bottleneck is the capacity of the lines at Fremont, not the battery packs from GF1. They have not reduced weekly output of Model 3s at Fremont. They are putting all effort into bringing up the 5th line for the Model Y. Also...

    Totally sounds plausible that the website does not seem to differentiate between specific configs (although it does between models (i.e. P+ v SR+). As to when, just depends on dumb luck as we continue to firmly establish after 600+ pages on this and the other thread! I am fairly confident at...

    Good point. When I ordered my Audi Q7 a few years back as I didn't want the standard configs they get here in AU, it took 7 months, but that is literally a custom order where they config my unique options exactly, pull a ticket on the line and literally make my car (because of this they were...

    Oh I completely agree that logic does not apply! I have assumed Feb at this point.

    Ah, thanks. We cross posted. Unfortunately Feb seems realistic at this point given you ordered in late August with no reservation. Sucks the website said October!
