Thanks everyone for your advice and discussion on this topic

Thanks paulp. I was of the same mind. Thanks for the makita tip, will follow up.

I bought a set of floor mats from Taptes - bad mistake too. They were flimsy, even the fake Tesla logo was attached crookedly. I returned them and they never refunded my money. I won’t be buying anything else from Taptes that’s for sure. Ended up with a much superior set of mats from Fit my Car.

There is a warning not to use seat covers on page 30 of the manual: Seat Covers Warning: Do not use seat covers in Model 3. Doing so could restrict deployment of the seat-mounted side air bags if a collision occurs. Also, if the vehicle is equipped with an occupant detection system that is used...

Hi all, over Christmas we ended up with two sets of car mats. If anyone would like to buy them from us the details are as follows: Taptes all-weather floor mats for Tesla Model 3 (set of 3 mats – 2 front and one rear). They are black and fit right hand drive. We paid $US 149.99 (approx. $231...

Same here! So keen to make the order and comple configuration. So now we’ll wait to see how many friends we can refer........

Count us in too as happy customers. We had phone calls from Sydney Delivery and an answer to an email. We were also contacted by Carways Canberra to ask if we would like to pick our car up there. We went in the next day to pick it up and it had been cleaned before we went in. We had about an...

Sorry to see you go Al Roper. Maybe some of us posters do a little too much ranting at times, please don’t let us put you off buying the most amazing car. Maybe we complain because we don’t have a service centre to go into if we don’t live in Melbourne Sydney or Brisbane, but if you live in...

Glad you weren’t my English teacher in school, good teaching picks up on the positives as well as any negatives (and many of the negatives you mentioned were only typos not so much spelling errors). This was an informative article and will be helpful to many new owners and those considering a...

Jason, great detailed review and fantastic photos - your car looks wonderful in the shots. Thank you. Very helpful article.

We had some initial trouble pairing the phone app. This is what we did: 1) returned the email stating we have received our car 2) tried again to pair with phone, so rang Louis Ramsey at Sydney delivery on 0431 971 239 (also the number we were given to have the ‘quick walkthrough’) who applied...

We’re having trouble pairing our phone to the car too. Thought it could be that we needed to reply ‘yes’ to our ‘have you taken delivery of your M3’ email. We did that and waited a while, but still nothing. Then rang Delivery Specialist who sounded to be completing something online. He said it...

For the Canberra M3 crowd tomorrow will be a BIG day. 15 M3s are arriving at 8am tomorrow morning at the Carways yard in Mitchell. One is ours! So excited!

Had a phone call this morning from Sydney delivery to say our car would be delivered this Friday or Monday. Asked about plate size and was told they can take the normal or slimline Canberra plates, for those asking plate size.

Wow, how easy was your installation? We have just accepted a quote for $1,093.61, and it’s not that far from the box, just one room between and there’s plenty of room in the roof. Seems a big difference! Anyone able to give other costs?

What forward thinking organisations

You’re right Dakah3, I would have thought Tesla should send a delivery specialist out for a week or so to deliver to Perth buyers. Not all model 3 purchasers are tech minded and it’s only good customer relations to organise a good handover. Andygen21 that wasn’t a great introduction to your long...

Hi Haza andGraz3r we went into Access Canberra in Gungahlin last Monday and DID have a choice of plates. We could have had the new slimline ones or the normal ones. We preferred the look of the slimline ones but when the person said the normal ones fit more vehicles we decided on the normal...

Great news Cbrm3, looking forward to seeing your car around town - especially the first white seats here.

Thanks schnark, that’s very good to know. So...they’re building a service centre from scratch! Great! What car do you have? May see you around town soon.

Thanks DavidRL for your post re log issues in Perth, great to know. Does anyone know who Tesla uses in Canberra for service?

Congratulations on picking up your car tomorrow, hope all goes well. Please thank your wife for attending today’s rally. We went to the Canberra one and were overwhelmed by the turnout and mightily impressed by the young students speaking there. Here’s hoping we can all lead by example and pick...

Hi davepretty, sorry to hear that. We’re in the same boat. We were looking forward to having our car on Monday in Canberra. Phone call around 5pm this arvo to say it won’t be until later next week. Our account shows delivery now as Friday 27th at 2.30. Believe Vigleik, Mendol and cbrsr+ (all in...

Hi Graz3r, looking forward to seeing you out and about in Canberra after your delivery. Not long now!

Insectia said: ↑ My VIN has just become viable on my account page. Still no acknowledgement of receiving $70k from me. With only 5 days till delivery I'm going to have to assume the delivery time and date that is on my account and was put to me a tentative is actually going ahead. I have...

The following is part of a longer list I copied from the internet (sorry as it was for personal use I didn’t note the source) Before Leaving for the Tesla Store Have the Tesla app installed on your smartphone prior to arrival for delivery. Bring your driver’s license. If your car will be...

Our rego papers arrived with the invoice, from the Sydney office. Tesla will need payment so you should get both papers very soon since they require payment two days before delivery. Good luck.

Meowsers, if your car is in the country by then it might make it onto a transporter coming to Canberra soon. We have a tentative delivery date of week starting 23 September and we suspect the transporter will come down the end of the week before 23rd. The last transporter to Canberra arrived on...

Invoice arrived today for SR + Build date10/07/2019 VIN 4429 (same as hidden vin I’ve had for a few weeks) None of the following charged: luxury car tax; stamp duty; registration; CTP; license plate as ACT owners complete all on road registrations Invoice no: 15XX Have added details to form...

It WILL come - and very soon hopefully!

Hope your delivery specialist calls you very soon

Thanks Meowsers, that’s worthwhile info, saved us lots of time, really appreciate it.

Mendol and cbrsr+ this is the video posted earlier by Jas.S60 and others “I couldn't make that embedded one bigger so found the source instead: Model 3 Guide AUNZ from Tesla,com” Hope this helps introduce you to your Model 3

Hi cbrsr+, yes looks like our cars are coming on the same transporter as our delivery specialist said to expect our delivery in the week beginning 23 September. We’re thinking of going into Access Canberra soon to make some Enquiries so I’ll try to personal message you (never done that before...

Hi Anubis, yes our car will be in the garage. We'll also need to get a new quote this week and use the full price of the car, so the insurance price will rise a bit.

NRMA gave us a reasonable quote on the SR+ Although it does include a large no claims and a loyalty discount

Welcome cbrsr+ good to see another Model 3 for Canberra, what did colour/configuration did you order? Our cars may make the journey from Sydney on the same transporter

What a great start to the weekend. Had a call this arvo from a Sydney delivery specialist! He is sending our invoice through on Monday. Red SR+ black interior Transportation to home address in Canberra Tentative delivery time noon on Monday 23 Sept Reserved 23.5.2019 Ordered 6.6.2019 Have hidden...

We bought solar + battery to reduce the need for polluting coal fired power stations and to support solar + battery research thus reducing the cost for others down the track. We find our purchase very satisfying like Vostok. We have 2 teenage grandsons and want to do as much as we can to...

Can an existing Tesla owner recommend a good installer in the ACT? What price is reasonable for the HPWC installation please?

Thanks aegidius. Nice to know we have support from yourself and all club members.

Hi MandySimpson, I’m with you on this one. Like you, this video helped.

Just had a look at the video, haven’t seen it before. Great help Jas.S60, thanks. I’ve been feeling a bit frazzled as this will be our first EV - It’s given us confidence I’ll be OK with the change to EV.

Great pic aussieskibum. We’re thinking of cruising around Mitchell later today too.

OK thanks Meowsers - then the Teslarmy would be a great help.

Great idea Blue heaven!

Very interested in your post Veda. Being new to both Tesla cars and EVs we would really appreciate personal input. As we’re having our car transported to Canberra, was wondering how we would cope without a delivery person to do the introductions to our new car. How does transported delivery...
