    PSA - Referral Link May Not Work in Safari Anymore

    Look this isn't a big deal but if you, like me, sometimes pass your referral link to friends and rack up some free supercharging you may find this interesting. As you know, for the referral to work you *must* start and complete the purchase in one go starting with your referral link. Apple's...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    For those who aren't in the FB group I'd just like to confirm my rigorous testing has concluded you can fit 17 cases of beer and 2 six packs in the boot and the froot. Video data included for reference.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Thanks! The old plate has 4 clips holding the perspex you can take off by hand (or with a key / flathead screwdriver) with a small amount of force. Then there are two Phillips head screws to remove. (I took my cordless ryobi dill with screw bit to the Service NSW branch). I had a letter...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    I finally got my model 3 :) I ordered custom plates way in advance and they were sitting at NSW service ready to pickup. So driving there was one of my first drives. I picked the hideous NSW yellow standard plates on the order / registration stuff then handed them straight back in shortly after...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Yes many excuses and promises but I can't blame anyone so won't share them. Mainly because I've spoken to at least 4 different people at Tesla and now a transport company and as nobody seems to have done this before nobody knows the process. My original delivery date was 8 days ago. It would...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Well I got the call. Actually I've had lots of calls. And the delivery date has changed 3 times. Right now my car is inexplicably sitting in a depot 45 mins away (delivery date was today) and when I was told the delivery date was changing a 4th time to later in the week I offered to come get...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Yeh I've been told a few times "It's going on the truck today" so I'm not entirely convinced yet :) Either that or now it's one of several deliveries along the east coast. Out of curiosity, do you pickup guys pay a delivery fee on the invoice? It's not insignificant.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Well, I had my hopes up for a Sep 9th home delivery which they confirmed by phone last Friday. Then it slipped to the 11th (today) which was even updated on the Tesla.com order page. Then radio silence and now I've just been called to say it's still in Sydney and getting on a truck this...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Unlisted Tesla VIMEO video posted many pages back for remote delivery buyers who won't get the personal handover seems to have been made private and the link to it I was emailed today from Tesla is also broken. ( )

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    If anyone's interested in the regional delivery process I just had a call from Tesla employee who confirmed next weeks delivery day and mentioned the car goes via Tesla Sydney for a final check before loading on a truck. I'll get a further update once the truck is on the road and has a firm ETA...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Taking delivery next week from Monday. Apologies to other zero-day reservation holders who don't seem to be been allocated when they should have been. But I must say these last few days are even more torturous than the last few weeks. Just want to skip the weekend! - Charge cable (check) -...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Yep, exactly what I was referring to .. audio compression (not file compression). If you throw on Dark Side of the Moon then follow that by (say) Metallica's last 2 albums you'll find yourself reaching for the volume control for each to reach the "normal" ideal peak volume. I love some of the...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Re Sound System test... yes! This is something I've been thinking about seriously. As tempting as it is to list just my fave tracks there are songs that are better at testing a systems true dynamic range. Once upon a time Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd) was regarded as the gold standard...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Reserved April 2016, ordered June 5, 2019. Midnight Silver SR+ FSD, no changes. Regional delivery to my driveway scheduled for Sep 9th. Fun to try and reverse engineer their process but there are so many variables. I would’ve thought capital city pickups would be first and was expecting to get...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Cool, thanks. I'll be switching between 2 dramatically different cars so I'll learn to be neuroplastic ;)

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Haha, I'm hope Tesla is better at making cars than videos. But just what I needed as it's the delivery speech I won't get when mine rolls off the back of a truck and into my driveway. Thank you for posting Jas.S60! Now I know I'm going to flick the right/drive stalk accidentally many times...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Just for fun and memories, here's my original deposit email from way back when. It says S and X owners get priority? I don't know that that came to fruition but I do seem to be towards the front of the queue with the early reservation and order without being a Tesla owner beforehand. Now I'm due...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Thanks, have made some minor purchases from EV Tuning but hopeful to pick up some of the bigger stuff locally eventually. I've been driving old manuals for over 20 years, I want to sit and get accustomed to the M3 slowly and driving through Sydney in my shiny new car that I don't really know...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    Hi all, Just joined forum because I've run out of things to do while waiting for my 4429XX M3 to arrive at my doorstep Sep 9. All paid. I'm pretty amped. Put down deposit as the livestream of the announcement wrapped up in 2016 and I've never owned an auto, or indeed any car younger than...
