    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Hi all, Picked up my stunning new Tesla model 3 (SR) on Saturday and couldn't be more impressed. There was no imperfections on this car through any of the checks. Paintwork is gorgeous It's a strange feeling when you get your first Tesla, almost life changing. It's now a real joy driving to...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    In the time it's taken for my new Tesla to arrive (9/12/21 OD), I decided to go with a wall charger (7kw, single phase). Over here in SA, electricians can be a 6-12 week waiting time The benefits of going from flat to full battery overnight will be enormous, as I can do quite a lot of driving...

    Good point, so it probably still applies for rebates. The exact phrase was "applies to the dutiable value of the vehicle for stamp duty purposes"

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Another reason that may be why LR and Ps are delayed could be due to the batteries RWD has LiFePhos chemistry and can be may from fairly common materials While the LR and P need nickel and cobalt, which are quite rare. Also the price of nickel has gone through the roof recently as the main...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    You'd have to think it's getting close to the time that it would be cheaper for the carrier to take everything to PK and offload / truck back Have a look on demurrage costs, if it's anything like I'm aware of, it costs thousands per day (for the carrier to pay the ship owner) to just sit...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I am quite curious about the setup of the speakers as well, and will find out when my car arrives soon. I noted that one of the differences between the two audio setups (at least what I could see), was amplifiers in the LR/P models. Given that the SR doesn't have separate amps, it probably...

    Nope the app has been blank the whole time, and no EDD or even date range appears. Just word of mouth from SA Given I'm in Adelaide, apparently this is normal for us in direct delivery (not sure what that means exactly)

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I had an interesting discussion with my SA this morning. So I've got my VIN on 9/2 (OD 9/12/21), and when checking up the possible delivery date he said, "I'll wake the car up and check where it is" And it is still in Shanghai, delivery around the end of March This would suggest there is more...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I ended up going with a Tessories pet liner and I'm quite happy with the quality for $45. Our doggy was more than happy to try it out too (when I set it up on the couch) They also have heaps of other goodies for your Tesla too! Fyi I don't even have my Tesla yet, and I've already got plenty of...
