    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Ive been wondering how distracting the adaptive high beams might be - im quite confident that they do a good job of not blinding people, however the lights constantly flickering on and off has gotta annoy people, right? Ill keep using them anyway, but ive got to wonder 🤷‍♂️🤣

    I find this hilarious 🤣 Different strokes/different folks, however I couldn't give the slightest about my battery consumption, when my 6.2l V8 will happily tax me $150 per week in fuel. My average of 160wh/km is a testament to this cars ability to quickly get around slow pokes 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Just a quick one for any new owners/prospective owners who are keen to use a bluetooth headset to isolate the sound when kids are watching media on the rear screen... The headphones need to be paired to the car via the REAR screen menu. The front screen will not detect a headset to pair it to...

    If you don't have a VIN, your car isn't on a ship so you'll have a minute to wait. My car was but on 21/12, but i didn't get a vin until early Jan, when the car was put on a ship. My vin then disappeared just over a week before I picked the car up, and reappeared a day or two before. I...

    Remember also, that the charge port is on the LHS... purely speculation (i haven't chacked my car), but perhaps the "extra" spot weld on the LHS has something to do with the charge port mounting bracket? As far as im concerned, even if my car has the same markings i dont care because ill only...

    My tinter decided to tint the bottom third of my rear window.. i was dubious about it initially. From the outside of the car it is unnoticeable unless you're super close. Inside the car, i see a tint line in my rear view mirror, but since the rear visibility is shite anyway I simply adjusted...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I feel that a lot of that has to do with the random order that cars are trucked in? Complete speculation of course, but the DC had a few hundred cars (looked totally full) in the warehouse last Friday. I can't see them wanting to hang onto them all any longer than is totally necessary 🤷‍♂️

    Same deal with me when I got my tint done yesterday. They told me that the windows popping cant be helped, but to avoid rolling them down for 48hrs.

    Order a set of centre caps/nut covers and take the aero covers off! The alloys underneath definitely don't look terrible! Far better than the chunky aero covers anyway! Also a sidenote for anyone who has ordered the 19" Nova wheels - those lil black plastic covers that make the rim look bigger...

    The M3 came up absolutely mint after tint/ceramic! Kinda wished i went darker than legal on my front windows, but they told me they are more than happy to change it free of charge if i decide thats the way i want to go 👌

    Just a bit of an observation after driving my 330rwkw SSV Redline today while my M3LR is getting tinted/coated... Theres something about driving an angry V8 that the tesla just can't match! The commodore is a LOT slower off the mark, but up top would smash the M3. The SSV and M3 are about the...

    Ive done 480km in mine since Friday. Thats a tank of fuel in my SSV, around $140-$150. Ive spent $51 on charging (no decent home charging solutions in my building). Such a fantastic car!

    Don't even worry about that stuff mate.. it always works out how it should 🤙 I almost died at work in 2022, so my perspective is possibly somewhat different to yours. Your car will come when your car comes - take it from a bloke who's had his for 3 days.. it's most definitely worth whatever...

    Don't say anything and let nature take its course? Or say a lot and still wait for nature ti take its course? Or crack the sads and get more sad when you realise you could have had your car in the next week or two? Decisions decisions 🤣

    Also guys, make sure that you check the car over PROPERLY inside and out. I did the obvious exterior check over and had a look over the interior, but my excitement and prior arrangements meant that my interior check over was less than thorough 🤣 My girlfriend noticed the next day that the left...

    Day 40 since what? Ordering? My car took 3 months (nov15 ordered, feb16 delivered). If you're only on day 40 since ordering, you've still got a minute to wait.

    Ill play devils advocate on this one... It would be different if people could just pay a premium to jump the queue.. The fact that its done by using referral credits is just rewarding existing customers for pushing the brand in their own time. I honestly don't have a problem with that!

    Be as pushy as you can while still being polite mate! My initial slot was noon last Friday. I got a call Thursday arvo saying that they wouldn't have the car ready in time, and they changed it to 3pm. My uber arrived about 45min early, and arrived at 14:15. Zero hassle with that - I was out of...

    My money is that access to mulgrave DC jas been hampered by removal of fallen trees and whatnot after last weeks storm. When i picked up my car last Friday, both sides of the service road were lined with deadfall which will take a few days to completely clear. The DC/warehouse seemed fine, if...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    When I was there yesterday, the warehouse looked pretty much immaculate. Was pressed for time so I didn't get pics, but im guessing that the issue has something to do with clearing all of the deadfall along both sides of the springvale rd service road where the DC is. There was a lot!

    Thanks guys!! Y'all are going to absolutely love your cars qhen they arrive!!! It gathered quite the audience when I arrived at jiu jitsu this morning - the kids class had just ended, I was parked near the door and had it farting madly when the kids got close 🤣 The lightshow blew their tiny...

    I really like it! I have no doubt ill be constantly cleaning it, but thats no problem. I just had so much fun - a couple in their 70s walked past it, so i had it farting like crazy.. they were so confused that I was in tears 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Insurance for my car (RACV) was super reasonable. Im 41yo, no claims in forever, the M3LR isn't financed and my other 2 cars ('17 SSV Redline and '13 Ford Ranger XLS) are insured with them also, so i get 10% discount for multiple policies. The M3LR is costing me close enough to $1300 per year...

    There were a bunch of people protesting Israeli affiliated ships at the docks on behalf of the Free Palestine movement. Caused a lot of backlogs across the board as far as I know 🤷‍♂️ Im guessing that there is a lot of stock to be sent your way, but if trucks cant move then cars cant move.

    Just sayin... this last 24hrs before I pick up my car is boolsheet 🤣 This is my 4th brand spanker, but my first and third ('08 VE SS, AND '17 VF2 SSV Redline) I bought off the lot. I had a 2 month wait for my Ranger in 2013, and the M3LR has taken 3 months. I have severe ADHD so I dislike...
