Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[hopeless]

If you folks are likely to need to use chargefox chargers and you want an RFID card as a backup to the app it might be a good idea to order one soon.
It costs about $10 but can take up to 30 days to get to you.
Just a suggestion

I used Evie card (used to be free) in Evie and ChargeFox. I just add the same card /card number in each app and it used to work on both system. I am not sure if it has changed in last 1-2 months. I sold my car so can’t test.

I ordered 2 EVIE card, registered those in both app(chargefox and evie), kept one in car and one in wallet. It was a good combo and was free!

Btw, any day I will pick Evie over ChargeFox. I have driven around 36k km in 1 year and charged in ChargeFox, Evie, AmpCharge, BP Pulse and Tesla Supercharger. Chargefox was the worst one and offers ton of pain!! With LFP batteries Tesla supercharger is the best due to preconditioning!

Bah The Don is soooo last year....

Beluga is where it's at - most recent location for those in the same boat

J/K I'm really excited for everyone and hopefully those who are still waiting will hear this week!

 

[Jules22]

Ladies and gentlemen, could you please also include LR/RWD flag when discussing your order timeline? Apparently this is a crucial information for any kind of statistical analysis or regression and has nothing to do with the fact that RWD is as slow as Holzwagen Lupo.

Most of us have it in our Sigs.

All good points but for those of us in SA chargefox is behind our main SA govt charging infrastructure so we will have to deal with it.
We only have a handfull of tesla superchargers so one of the manual preconditioning overrides might be handy here too

There is talk of the other charging networks being added to the in-car navigation, but only when they have proven a reasonable level of reliability, unfortunately that may be quite a hurdle for some.

Hopefully with some of these companies now signing on to re-brand Tesla superchargers we might see some of them deployed down here and really accelerate the rollout of reliable fast charging.

It would be an awesome addition but at the same time i understand if they dont due to reliability,
I think the SA chargefox is fairly reliable from what i hear, certainly the most abundant alongside jolt in most council areas (not mine tho, their extensive research and analasys concluded that refuelling any car is the role of service stations and no one else around the country is sponsoring ev charging, plus they all blow up ete etc etc)

I guess my main point was that the cards seem to take time, so a good idea to order them now while we wait rather than when we need them

I havent recieved the email saying my car is on any ship, i take it that comes when they do the rego and invoicing?
I forgot about that in the excitement of getting the vin and delivery update

 

[Jules22]

I think rego comes first, but we should be getting SMS's and emails this week.

New Year's Day VIN update:

Ordered: 16 Sep 23
Fairly basic config: white, LR, black interior, 18" wheels
Location: Sydney

Vin assigned: no

 

[SHAUN MENDEZ]

I’m

Me neither.

You Sydney? What spec?

Sydney Chatswood, LR stealth grey with black seats and 18s

I really worry that Chatswood just got no allocations

 

[Jules22]

I really worry that Chatswood just got no allocations

I really doubt that is the case. There definitely is some correlation between location and getting the VIN's assigned so it's more likely they are just the last to get notified for whatever reason. Give it a couple of days once everyone gets back to work.

 

[SpokenFour]

Does anyone picking up any Chatswood have a VIN? M3LR, blue, 18”, early sept still nothing here too.. don’t think we are on that shipment

Remembering also that corporates don’t get back till the 8th sometimes

 

[GE33EK]

To those paying cash, have any of you discussed splitting the payment to be credit/debit card payments instead of direct deposit? Trying to take advantage of some credit card points and get me a free business class trip somewhere…

 

[dronus]

Could be worse..

 

[Mark_Oz]

Hi all. Just trying to find out if the Highland now comes with the Tire Repair Kit? There was rumours and a couple of articles in November stating that it would but I haven’t been able to find a definitive answer. Anyone able to confirm either way?

 

[Mark_Oz]

Oh! And I got my VIN. I’m late to the party but super excited. Ordered in VIC.
