    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I would recommend for someone who is not a very regular driver of the car, you would only let them use the keycard that comes with the car, rather than getting them to download the app and connect that to your car. The app is really only for use by people who use the car day to day.

    I think all Qld cars get unloaded at Port Kembla and road freighted up. That is what happened to mine.

    Trap for young players - once your other half has got her/his phone added to the car - they know where you are😟......and there is no unadding once it is done. Take it from someone who has tried.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Hi All - progress report now I have had the car for 5 days. It is sooo worth the wait - after having relatively nice cars for the last 10 years, this one is a different level. We decided to go on a family trip up to Maleny from the Nth side of Brisbane to take it for a bit of a spin on the...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Picked up yesterday and went straight from the Hendra pickup site in Brisbane onto the Southern Cross Way/Gateway. Calibration was done within 15 kms before getting to the Redcliffe turnoff.... Does sound like something is not right with yours if it is taking so long....

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Picked up yesterday and the wait, whilst seemingly endless at the time, was sooooo worth it. Cannot get the smile off my dial! Although we do now have a small dilema and perhaps a new accessory requirement that has not been mentioned before - We are now discussing the need for a keypad style...

    Wont be one of those 7 - mine is a black one, but the SA rang me yesterday to let me know my car was on the truck, due for delivery last night, in time for my pick up today in Brisbane. To say I am excited.....to the point I am being told by my 12 year old to settle down. 🥳🎉

    The Red looks amazing....almost makes me wish I went that way instead of the black. Sigh - first world issues :)

    No update on the RAV for me :(. Maybe the guy with the clipboard is still working his way through the forklifts..... How I long for the days without a website to keep updating.

    My car is on the Euphony Ace that arrived in PK Yesterday (still at dock now). My VIN is not showing on the RAV. Govt website - maybe works govt hours.... Or maybe the man with the clipboard has not got to mine yet. I am not sure how it works but after waiting patiently (ish) for the last 8...

    Had my Gen 3 Wall Connector installed yesterday and thought I would share for those who are about to do the same. I had our local electrician who had never installed an EV charger before and my wall connector was installed right next to my panel so should give an idea of a base line for time...

    I was not sold on the All Weather styles - I found these guys who do the more traditional mats, but you can customise the colours. I went with black with white stitching to go with the white interior https://www.fitmycar.com.au/tesla/model-3/sedan-2019-current/1245-3

    The Tesla charger is weather proof and is designed to be able to be mounted externally as well as internally. I have seen quite a few 'Destination Chargers' (these are the same charger as we buy) mounted on the outside of forward thinking businesses and hotels. I have the sparky booked to...

    Who has a tinny that we can shoot out and ferry my car in?? Happy to chip in for fuel.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Update from Pepper - as I had an email from them dated 14th July that quoted my rate at 4.99%, they have agreed to honour that rate instead of the 6.29% they mentioned. I do have a delivery date and a final invoice so probably had a bit more leverage. It feels like a bit of a hollow victory...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Just had someone from Pepper ring me to arrange the contract for my finance and happened to mention in passing that my current interest rate was 6.29% and has been that way since the 8th July. There was a moment of stunned silence when I told them I had a revised quote from them (in writing)...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Like you I sign up with Pepper at the 2.99% (Late Jan). Had to get an extension after 90 days (Apr) and received a notification the interest rate was increased to 3.99%. Car is due at the end of Aug/beginning of Sep and have just had to get another extension at 4.99% :(. Am busy trying to...

    We have RACQ up here, and like RACV, their price was almost twice what NRMA was, but I am still able to get NRMA insurance up here in Sunny Brisbane (actually not so sunny at the moment..) Just googled it and wow - no NRMA insurance in Vic.....

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Huh - there you go. You learn something new every day... Totally unrelated to this thread but I wonder why us Qlders are able to get NRMA insurance but not you 'poor Victorians'?

    Black with White M3 RWD. Looks like I got my order about the time in relation to the order dates of others. Ordered 28/1 - VIN - 17/7

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Good call on NRMA - cheapest so far (even with the Windscreen inclusion). Out of interest I then checked with RACQ (being a proud Qlder) and it was over double the NRMA quote - thought that was wierd. Maroon pride only goes so far.....

    Now that delivery dates have been thrown out there and I am in the throws of a Stage 3 Accessory hunt (thanks @Ormaus), I have also restarted the humdrum car stuff like insurance. I am astounded (again) at the widely different quotes I have recieved - ranging from $980 pa (Budget Direct) up to...

    Yes I have done my finance through Pepper. Had approval back in early Feb which expired 90 days later. Had to supply a new payslip a few days prior to expiration to get another 90 days. That 90 days is about to expire in a week, hopefully will get my invoice prior but if not, I have to supply...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My order date is 28/1 - hanging in there to see if I get an allocation within the next week to save the hassle of reapplying elsewhere. If there are only forklifts coming out of Shang Hai for the next few weeks, then I will probably look at someone else to lock in the rate. The person I spoke...

    @Ormaus - awesome work keeping track on all of these. I notice you are right on the cusp with your order date.....

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    That is the feedback I just got from Pepper. I was originally approved at the 2.99%, got notification of an increase to 3.99% about a month ago. Had a rush of blood when there was some VIN allocations and emailed to confirm my current interest rate - 4.99% :mad:. Not a deal breaker but still...

    Now there are some delivery dates starting to come through, it might be time to revisit accessory purchases. What accessories has everyone purchased or planning on purchasing?
