Sounds like there are a few "D" vin numbers hitting screens (not mine yet). But the time will pass quickly before there are a (insert appropriate collective noun , perhaps -Dazzle as in Zebra's or Drive as in Dragons) of D's hitting our shores, allegedly in a big batch. It would be great to hear from those who are lucky enough like Ray to already be enjoying his "plaisir de conduire", to help construct a to do list of things to consider in preparation.
What I have so far ...
* Book Opti coat
* paint protection film for the front for stone chips?, the top of the rear bumper for scuffs from loading? Above the door handles for ring scratches?
* Window Tinting. Side windows, Rear window ...
* Home wall charger. I will eventually need to use 3 phase charger at home (I have 3 phase power to the house) as maximum single phase current will be limited to around 25 amps due to capacity of the line in, without spending a lot of money.
* Floor mats. Does the car come with mats and are they good quality.
* Car jack? Telsa tire pump and goo? Tire plug repair kit? No room for a spare in the Frunk/Froot of a D.
* Membership cards for public charging.
* Centre Console. I like the Tesla one even if it is in piano black and not carbon fibre.
* Charging adaptors. What is the priority.
What other things did people find they needed or had to do after living with the car for a while.
I was also considering travelling to Sydney for the delivery and putting it on a truck to ship it home. It would certainly be more of an event than a truck turning up at home and having to drop it off on the road as it cannot turn at the end of our long steep 200m driveway. Would it be weird to take delivery and put it on a truck for the Sunshine Coast instead of driving it back, is that premature range anxiety.
thanks
