    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Please also note that any issues with body work not flagged within 100Km will not be covered for repair. I am going to call my slight dimple a 'beauty mark'

    Got the wall charger installed yesterday. Don't forget to point the Sparky to the manual and specifically the dip switches. On first test I only got 6Amps because of these settings., Now it is 32A and charging like a champ. :)

    ***UPDATE*** News sources report that the damage occurred when the Vehicles detected the drone and then cooperated to repel what they perceived to be an attack. A sheepish technician admitted entering the wrong region code into the cars and said that they thought they were in Iran.

    I only have 5774 songs on it at the moment but love some of the suggestions. I will have to find a copy of that Paganini Caprice no. 5 and research a couple of the others mentioned by Dylan for testing.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I have loaded my entire music list onto the new 256Gb SSD I got as a welcome home present for the Tesla. For the first song I am thinking ACDC Thunderstruck or Back in Black, or Madness - Driving in my Car, or Skrillex Bangarang, or maybe ELO Mr Blue Sky, or Pink Floyd Wish you were Here. Very...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I just gave Tesla a poke and got this reply: " The delivery team are currently working on thousands of deliveries and there are a lot of moving pieces involved but they will definitely be in touch when your Model 3 is ready. They will typically reach out with 7 – 10 days’ notice to schedule...

    Checked. See post above - 30 hours of Ride Share OK. A binary choice is not applicable. The majority is Private (although that is based on travel to and from work being counted as Private) and the minority is using my car to travel between the office and customer sites. I'll be doing that...

    Thank you Professor of the Bleeding Obvious. BTW. Logic is not subjective. It is either logical or not. The question is motivation and intent.

    Checked PDS and no mention there. I might ask them directly and see if it is an issue. RACV seems to be quite advanced in their approach, however, it is definitely worth the question to clarify.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I don't doubt you, however, from a perspective of pure logic, there is no functional difference between me giving a ride to someone, vs. a ride-share scenario. TAC pays the personal injury, the Ride Share company covers Professional Indemnity, Public Liability and I cover the car as I do when I...

    Why would it cost anything more? I should be able to give people rides without even informing them. Passengers in my car are my business.

    I am going to make as much time as possible to join Uber or Ole or DiDi as a driver so that I can: a) Justify the amount of time I plan to spend driving the car, and b) expose as many people as possible to Tesla and their cars It will take a couple of months to get to all the family, friends...

    Part of an email reply from Tesla: "I really don’t have any idea when each customer will get their car but I do know we’re still on track to begin delivering cars in August and will be reaching out soon to start arranging the first deliveries."

    Cap Cap's next stop is in Melbourne, so what do we all think? Will it off load all of the Tesla's and road freight to other states, or keep the Victorian/SA allocation on the ship for processing in Melbourne?

    Until a population and it's leaders accept that there is a problem, the problem can not be addressed. We are trapped in cycle of denial and outright fear of change. The only progress I am seeing is more of me face to face contacts are accepting of the reality, even if they then revert to a mode...

    The LCT does not apply to the M3 in Victoria as far as I am aware, although the stamp duty is bad enough. In the developed world they pay out tax credits or other incentives to encourage EV purchases

    I am going for minimum time to car. Plates, trade in's, pickup vs. delivery, etc... The answer is, "Which option is quicker?" I can deal with all of that later when I occasionally get out of the car. ;)
