    No sleeping since update to 2020.12

    Anyone still having this issue, I strongly recommend you do a scroll wheel reset. My M3 had not slept since I received the 2020.12.11.1 update on 6th May (6 days). Previously I was on 2020.8.3. I performed the reset and immediately TeslaFi was able to put the car to sleep. It has had 2 sleep...

    Is anyone able to provide me the best email address and contact number for the service team in Sydney? I have a scheduled service that I need to ask some questions about before the day. Cheers.

    thanks @meowsers . No issue, I just wanted to make sure I got what I was supposed to. It’s a bit ordinary looking imo. They definitely could have put in more effort there.

    OK ladies and gents, it’s quiz time. Stick your head in the boot. No, not the frunk, the boot. That’s better. Now look up at the ceiling of the boot. Do you see... a) a carpeted ceiling like the rest of the boot b) painted metal like the outside of your car, or c) Bare metal covered in...

    Got mine today. It's a special thing. Been a big day full of excitement so I'll give you the tl;dr version: If you have got yours already - you know. If you don't have it yet - you will. Game. Changer.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    So I've done a quick check of @dmaunder and @apchoo 's records in spreadsheet to see if there's any consistency with the Low Brake Fluid issue. - Both Cap Capricorn - Both early VINs (duh) but different ranges (4422xx and 4433xx) - Car types different (SR+ and P3-) - Build dates only a day...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    No worries. Happy to help. Hope it provides others with a bit of a timeline for expectations (#batterygate sufferers notwithstanding). The more I see the comments of others, the luckier I feel. Yes I ordered expecting an August delivery, but it could have been much, much worse. And I have a...

    Invoice received. @Vedaprime , this is a 4617 VIN, Build and Compliance date of 24/7/19. Pickup date 23/9/19 Sydney. @Random206 I've updated your excellent spreadsheet. Only one answer to change now, once I pick up the car!

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Yes, Jan 2019. A reminder though you are Melbourne and I am Sydney. We know that they allocated stock to each State then rolled them out from there. I am sure there are other Melbourne customers that got in ahead of you, but my order hasn't affected yours. Small comfort I know.

    I have now joined Team Lucky, I got my call today. P+ Blue Res: Jan 19 Order: Day 1 Alexandria pickup on 23rd Sept 4617 VIN I really feel for those who might have been ahead of me in the queue with an earlier res, and those with #batterygate . My only hope is that you get a call soon for an...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Some news heading into the weekend. I emailed Tesla to get an update on my order. Previously they had advised that no VIN has been assigned to my account so there is nothing they can do. Fair enough. Because I could finally (and for the first time) see a hidden VIN on my end, I emailed them to...

    Let me have a stab. Minimum Brotonne, more likely Warrnambool.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Big news, I finally have a VIN. I've never seen one before, so it's kinda a big deal. interesting series too - 4617XX, so going by VedaPrime's calcs it's on the Brotonne Bridge?

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    This is great work, thanks. My brain is computing all of this, and the approach that seems most likely is that when Tesla opened the orders, they set end September for delivery across all vehicles. They then assigned vins to faraway customers first, to account for transport time, to ensure they...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Fascinating. This gives all of us #novinners hope. Doubly awesome that you are in Sydney. Maybe they are finally getting to the Sydney crowd and starting with the early reservers. Being a Feb reserver, hopefully mine wont be too far away. In other news, I had a random missed call from a...

    Awesome Tom, so happy for you. Can you tell me, did you ever have a hidden VIN? If so, how long ago did you first notice it?

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Man, the stamp duty and LCT are a killer aren't they? from my order agreement (NSW) they are $4000k $5300 respectively. I have the same car less the FSD. Is it possible that FSD adds $2k in LCT? If so man, that stings.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Exactly my situation, and my car specs. Sigh. I have a hundred grand sitting in my bank account, a car depreciating before I trade it, I have to take annual leave to get to Sydney to pick it up if it goes past August, I have to book a sparky to install the wall charger. Cmon Tesla, it's...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    The more I mull this over in my head, the more I think I am getting distracted by the lack of VIN, registration date, If I follow things logically - the sooner the order, the sooner the car I want gets on a boat. It might just be as simple as that. I ordered within an hour of the site opening...

    Hmm, seems there's no clear answer on what the differences are between P- and LRAWD. Glad I went for the P+ :)

    Didn't we get confirmation from inside sources that there were definitely cars on the Cap? I'm pretty sure I saw that somewhere here, and again on the facebook page.

    Can anyone explain the difference between the P- and LR AWD? What did these magic unicorns provide that doesn't exist on the LR AWD model?
