    BYD Dolphin $38,890

    Yes it can, I've got a contract for an MG4 excite 51 in Melbourne. Just gotta do it the old fashioned way, leaving the house and walking into a crappy low rent showroom.

    DIY ceramic products available in Aus

    This one 100%. Have done two cars with Cquartz 3.0 so far and the shine & beading is incredible. Still have a bit leftover which is fantastic for a $150 kit.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Ordered March 1st, the charger was in the boot. Half agree with this - if you're buying a new car in the 60k+ price bracket, you'd be mad not to consider an EV. But I've still got a few ICE cars - two JDM turbo legends that are amazing to drive, modify and keep increasing in value, plus a cheap...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Just picked up my M3 RWD from Mulgrave today. Handover at the desk took about 3 minutes. Was left alone to go through my checklist which took me a leisurely 45 minutes or so. Very helpful staff if you need them. Excellent fit and finish, panel gaps and alignment of everything was spot on. Was...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Any way to lookup vic rego on the car online before it's delivered? Trying to sort out insurance before Dec 14th.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    No kidding, I'm in the same situation. Fully paid the car a month ago expecting a November delivery as initially estimated, now it's dec 12-26 and I leave the country on the 24th. :rolleyes: First world problems I know, but still the tesla ownership experience has been a gradual, 9 month+ decline.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I checked the tesla price breakdown on the website - appears there's $2552 LCT on the performance, and $0 on the LR. Hmm.... $14,000 difference between the LR and the P is either a lot of money, or not a lot of money depending on who you talk to! I should probably wait until my RWD is delivered...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    So I'm still waiting on delivery of my RWD in Melb (hopefully by Dec 16!), but seriously considering placing an order for an M3P if I can get it delivered by end of June 2023 in order to take advantage of the total asset deduction for businesses and EV incentive. Is there any kind soul who's...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I'm happy to be driving away in my current model $62k RWD (hopefully in the next 2 weeks!), while also claiming 1/11 GST, and temporary full expensing in this financial year. And if the new model is a significant step forward, and I'm still impressed by tesla, I'll pass this car to my wife and...

    I'm not familiar with driving test requirements anymore, but if it's a problem you could always cancel/reschedule the driving test?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Now if someone made aero covers like this, they'd sell bazillions of them! If anyone knows of something that looks similar to this one (rotiform aerodisc) please let me know - otherwise I'll have to go with some TE37s or CE28s like I've had on my JDM weapons.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Always wondered how people can justify spending 10-15% of the car's price on some clear film. Have driven 80,000km in my last two porsches with no ppf and not had an issues. Will be DIY ceramic coating (cquartz 3) to my model 3 when it arrives, and possibly vinyl wrap or PPF but I'll be DIY that...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I might be a bit dense today - I said I had an invoice, but all I had on the website was a balance to pay off. Where do I find the invoice, and the build date?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Woo - just got VIN and invoice on my tesla account! 🤪 Just wondering - my daily limit for bank transfers is $20000. If I make a part payment, will it be reflected in the "account balance" figure on the website once payment clears?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    So I emailed my agent yesterday, got a reply this morning saying things are on track for delivery.... then I check my phone 5 minutes ago with a prompt! Accepted on website and now have an EDD Nov 29-Dec 13 :)

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Getting a bit anxious as my subsidy expires Dec 21 after an extension too. Wonder if there's any chance of appealing for another extension, as these delays aren't caused by our actions?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    So I'm wondering... how many model 3 orders would Tesla have got in the average day/week in feb, march, april? As a patient (but getting less patient) March 1 vanilla RWD order holder, kinda hoping to get the car by an Xmas present at the very latest!

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I had a deposit in for a nissan Z over a year ago, and heard exactly NOTHING despite calling, leaving messages, sending emails etc. Cancelled the order as I was disgusted by the lack of service.

    What am I missing - EV pushback in Australia

    Was listening to talkback radio this morning, and a caller said no one should buy an EV, because she tows a horse float everyday and drives 3000km a week with only 3 fast chargers on her remote rural route and so it doesn't suit her needs. The talkback host was in vigorous agreement with her...

    Best Way to Get Rid of the Old Non Tesla Car

    Tesla offered 17k on my car, advertised it on Carsales and sold it for $29k after a week. Easy 12K for a couple of hours work.

    Can Gen 3 Wall connector charge non Tesla brand EVs in Australia?

    Thanks for this update - while I'm still waiting for my M3 to arrive, seriously thinking of picking up the new model mg zs ev for my wife (will probably arrive quicker too!). So if the gen 3 wall charger can do both cars, will be perfect! If I order the wall charger, what do I tell my...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Not surprised about delays in delivery, things will get worse before they get better. It's out of anyones' control, so no point getting paranoid about delay communications nor upset at advisors. The only thing that slightly concerns me is whether my RWD will be delivered by the deadline for the...

    Victoria: Contract of sale vs ZEV subsidy

    So placed deposit on 2/3/22, just received an email from Solar Victoria today 5/3/22 saying Tesla have applied for the subsidy on my behalf. Pretty happy so far with the order process, received a few calls from the sales advisor this week updating me on what's happening.

    Victoria: Contract of sale vs ZEV subsidy

    Well, I've just ordered one anyway, I figure worst case scenario it's $350 in gin money gone :p Had a deposit on a Nissan Z which I've cancelled due to beyond useless sales reps not answering my calls or emails. Model 3 will probably be a better daily driver than the Z, and certainly more fuel...

    Victoria: Contract of sale vs ZEV subsidy

    Yes, I've tried calling ZEV and Tesla and getting very mixed messaging on both. So this is a question for those who've actually deposited/paid their Model 3 – when you leave a deposit on the website, when did you receive a full contract of sale? Was planning to pay a deposit today, but the ZEV...
