that's not true, I know few people who delayed their delivery by one week.

after my delivery date changed to June 27th to June 30th, I wrote to Tesla that I'd be overseas until the 28th, they replied: "We are still working with estimates. In all likelihood, the date will slip a little bit once we account for possible delays at port"

Tesla responded super quickly. Victoria's car at least are on the TURANDOT. (TURANDOT, Vehicles Carrier - Details and current position - IMO 9070450 - VesselFinder) My delivery date got updated to June 29th to July 20. I hope it's not June 29th as would be in the plane back from Europe on that day

GIO quoted me $4400, they were the only ones even knowing about a performance model 3. I'm going to use novated lease for this cas, and the insurance (Vero Insurance which is also Suncorp) was $3200, and covered more than GIO (3 years for new replacement, covering the entire lease payment in...

I've sent a message to Tesla asking for what boat my car is on, no idea if they will answer will see.

it's showing in the Tesla app with your order.

Looks like Victoria and NSW got VIN assigned. I'm in Melbourne, Stealth Grey / Black , July 2nd -> July 23rd

because there's no need to. Historical prices ($15) is the share price after stock split. It wasn't $15/share back then, it was $89ish (can't recall exactly now)

no, that's 2300 shares *today* after the split, I included that in my earlier calculations.

when the model 3 was announced in 2016 for a price of "US$35000" I placed that sum in TSLA stock. 2300 shares. Can buy a few model 3 for free!

that's pretty bad ! My 2019 M3P is always around 3.35 at those battery levels.

yes, Turbo as I wrote in my post. But the internal fitting is more akin to an S than a 3.

This is 2.95s 0-60mph without 1ft rollout, 2.8s otherwise. Definitely quicker than even the new M3P. Not really the same budget though, that car is 3.5 times more expensive

If we are into graph. I don't have access to a 2024 M3P, but last night I had a drive of a Taycan "Turbo". Gosh it was nice. Now I'm more keen on a Tesla Model S than a 3. Unfortunately that car is no longer available in Oz

it's the whole point of the performance. I'd be pretty upset if they didn't

that must be it.... there can't be any other explanation. And my SoC was rather low (65% I returned the car 30 minutes later with 55%). It's not just the acceleration from standstill that felt quicker. Quickly overtaking when I was already doing 90kph was even more impressive and significantly...

speed limits here are 100kph only on the freeway, in the tiny stretch to enter the freeway next to the Tesla service centre, I reach 160kph. Mind you, cops and speed cameras here are everywhere. and anything over 130kph is an immediate license suspension

The Tesla service centre is in suburban Melbourne. No such thing around here

I just did a test drive in Australia. The acceleration was brutal. My 2019 performance feel slow in comparison. Super impressive. I don’t like the carbon fibre bit on the dash. It looks like an afterthought and simply be glued on top. Feels cheap

They do not. THey use a E3950 https://github.com/lewurm/blog/issues/3

The LR range is significantly more than the performance, and the LR is already a seriously fast car. That car makes a lot of sense to me

Personally, I like the look and I want what's best. Consumerism at its best. I can't really rationalise why I'm upgrading, my 2019 M3P is the most fun car I've ever owned, it drives well, gives me zero issue and I've barely used 10% of the battery rated life (done 168 cycles only)

As I understand it; it's only the Tesla Gold Coast that has one.

that's a very expensive option though.

considering what happened with the supercharger team, having a bigger battery that what's there now may soon be a necessity. You guys need to stop dissing the new M3P, I placed an order to replace my 2019 M3P, I'm still unsure, I hate reading arguments telling me I should have waited

he definitely wasn't pushing it

Having 20" wheels over 19 (or even 18) don't help 0-60 one bit, quite the opposite. I really wish there was the option to choose smaller wheels, while I like the look of them better, they aren't practical, too easy to damage and consumptions is much higher than it needs to be.

Aeero 18" didn't fit previously the performance, why would it fit now if the brakes are the same size? spacers are illegal in most countries BTW

Ok, so you're just guessing with no actual evidence.

Have you measureed them personally? Source?

With the previous model, very few 18” would fit, plus the offset was different. TSportline makes really nice wheel that could fit. But there’s no information yet about the brake size on the new model.

gosh it would be nice if they offered this everywhere else. Big wheels are nonsensical on EV (and sports car too, there's a reason why competition car use much smaller wheels)

IMHO, if it's the performance you want, the M3P is a much better choice. I wouldn't get a MYP, I would get the LR instead. The Y will never make for a good performance vehicle.

How can the EU values for the China made cars be greater than the USA ones?

what an absolute useless video: a review of reviews. Or how you can attempt to score views when really you have nothing to say

Aren’t they all black trim these days? I wish it was still chrome (Aussie here). But no longer available since 2021

or maybe they just don't know yet what the NMC model will do as they haven't built one yet

considering the main advantage of matrix beams is that you can say in high beam for longer (and even stays full beam even when you have oncoming vehicles), I don't see how you could consider it better. In any case, the new model can't write Tesla :) Could be a software issue, could be hardware...

Interesting that in the US, Stealth Grey is the basic configuration. In Australia, it's white and Stealth Grey is the 2nd most expensive colour (after red).

around the corner !??? They only just released cars with HW4 this year !

The highland model I test drove when it was announced couldn't write "Tesla" though, the sales guy at the time said that the new model didn't come with matrix leds.Unsure if that's correct or not

but but, that means then that they could have sold the car for a lower price right from the start and really contribute to "accelerating the world transition to renewable energy"

they told me the same thing and nothing to worry about.

that's what was said for the previous models, and yet it wasn't true: all had the exact same measured clearance. I pressed the button for a new one, I'm a bit disappointed that my 2019 M3P Stealth had a better WLTP rated range (and it didn't even have the heat pump for heating)

what could they be doing wrong? They read a range value at a given percentage, correlate to 100% No more, no less.

2019 Performance. It shows 467km at 100% now. Tessie tells me degradation is 7.6%, capacity 69.4kWh, but I 've never relied on Tessie (or Teslafi for that matter) , only Scan My Tesla.

i don't know either. Tessie uses 75.2kWh as original battery size, and shows 8.9% which was close to the Tesla service mode. I'm now happy to think that my battery is sitting at 71.5kWh, may not be correct, but it makes me feel better :)

Talking to a Tesla "battery" tech, after I had raised a service support he mentioned that about 4 years old and older, all appear to flatten at 15% degradation and company-wide that's where it levels. And that my car was doing a bit better than others at similar age. He wouldn't provide however...

Has anyone noticed their reported range increasing over the last few weeks? My battery used to be around 68.5kWh (Australian model 3 performance stealth, made in USA). Now Scan my Tesla tells me it’s 71.1kWh (and similar report showing using the energy screen method). I haven’t changed my...
