I was at Richmond yesterday and the delivery area was full of White M3 SR+s.

Yeah, me too. I was genuinely happy to get a recommendation and sling my readies in his direction. Maybe he was having an off day - we all do sometimes. Wound up heading over to Twilight Auto Tint in Ringwood. Mark was great and put a couple of different samples on the windows so I could...

Bit thin on the evidence - said others had told him of instances and told me look it up on the internet as there were lots of examples. (As I said, I've looked and can't see any) Either way, he was very clear that he would not do it. Even advised me to steer clear of a model 3 and buy a Kia...

I just rang Car Tint and he said that he is not touching Model 3's at all any more. Too many reports of cracked windows after tinting. I said I had heard about this happening with the roof sections but that I only wanted the side windows done. He then said that the cracking problem also happens...

Just did two longish country trips this past week. Melbourne to Shepparton and Melbourne to Horsham. Shout out to Jaun (Hope I got the spelling right) who gave up the charging space in Coburg so I could a quick top up on Wedensday before heading off to Horsham. Really decent of you, not...

Woot! Glad to hear they came out nicely for you. I didn't realise the oem's had 'snap' functions built in. Not sure they need them but good to know. They look interesting in clear ABS.

I agree. But that's the option I had available. If people are working within the spirit of the sharing ecology then I am good. No intent on my part to stifle sharing.

Obviously I can't stop this but the Creative Commons licence I put the design under is for non commercial use. No probs with people charging nominal amount for materials and actual costs like postage but please don't try to make a profit. That would not be in the spirit of sharing the design...

Greetings from sunny (and smokey) Australia. I found this thread when doing exactly what you are doing - looking for frunk hooks. In the end I decided to have a crack at designing them myself and have just posted the design on Thingiverse. Tesla Model 3 Frunk Hooks by HappyPEJ Hopefully...

Release notes for 50.7 are the same as previous version. Not sure what's different. Maybe bug fixes. Hopefully the voice commands are less flaky.

Just received notification of 2019.40.50.7. Installing now...

Congrats to you and all the other Wailers who will be picking up their steeds today and helping Tesla make their end of quarter numbers. To the Wailers still wailing... It probably doesn't help now but, trust me on this, once you have had the car for a week you will have forgotten the wait...

Drove for a couple of hours in the country last night. Auto High Beam was pretty good. Sure, there were a number of false triggers from reflections - but not as many as I expected. I also felt it was a bit slow to switch back to high beam. But... The main point for me was that there was...

Is that version 10.2? I've seen that people in the USA have got this recently and it has recognition of traffic lights and stop signs. Doesn't look like it will stop the car for them yet - just recognition and visualisation on the screen.

@Vostok was on the money. And my bad for not mentioning it in my post. Yes, I 3D printed them. Latest version is better but still needs a little bit of adjustment. Happy to share once it's sorted a bit better if anyone is interested. Will share the .stl file if people have a printer or...

Spent some time Christmas Eve and today working on these... Shiny Gold Frunk Hooks for my MY2020 M3. (Still find it hard to believe that Tesla removed them from the build spec) Size and shape are pretty good. Printed in two parts that click together easily. Piece of cake to...

I hope you will be fine. I did three transfers to get it done, Worst was a single day delay with a couple showing up on the same day. (And this was on a weekend so I would not rule out a good outcome for you. Fingers crossed.....

Whew! 44 degrees in Melbourne today and I parked my Model 3 outside at the pub at lunchtime. 10 minutes before we finished, I check the cabin temperature on the mobile app. Strewth! 58 degrees. Set the A/C to 22 degrees and got it going hoping that it would have time to make a dent in the...

One less car in there because of me. Glycol was delivered today. So much fun. 100 kms so far this evening with fam and friends. (Hence the late post). So I have officially graduated from this forum. Thanks everyone for the company and support and best wishes to those who are still waiting.

Was it particularly hot or cold? I've just been reading the manual and it does says that you might hear the air con running when charging as part of the system to manage battery temperature. (Even if you have the air con turned off, the car can turn it on itself if needed.)

I will officially graduate from this thread at 5pm tomorrow. But will hang around as alumni. My daughter and I will take public transport in together for the delivery. She tells me it is T minus 18 hours and 53 minutes (and counting). Not sure how well I will be able to concentrate on work...

@Vostok. These "Fast Payments" of which you speak are amazing... I had one payment scheduled for each of Saturday (14th), Sunday (15th) and today (16th). All three payments are showing up in the source code of my "Manage" page and all three are showing with a transaction date of the 15th...

Nice. I am in Heidelberg so not too far away. Things will be crazy for me up to the new year so perhaps after that...

Thanks for the offer, yep I'm in Melbourne. I'll see how I go with it. I do have a right angle attachment for a drill so I'll see how I go. But hooking up for a drive might be fun

Sadly I posted this too soon. The format failed after a couple of hours - I expect because the partition was too big. However, I downloaded Partition Wizard 11 and used that successfully. MiniTool Partition Wizard | Best partition magic alternative for Windows PC and Server Samsung T5...

Just having a look through my order page source code to see if any of my payments this weekend have gone through (Not yet) and noticed that the "totalCashPrice" in the order page does not match what's on the invoice. I'd rather pay what's on the order page as it's about $4,000 lighter. Anyone...

What was stopping the installation of the mudflaps without having the car jacked up? I've ordered the mudflaps but don't have the jack or the hockey pucks.

Yikes. Was it plugged in at the time? Hmm, not sure that would make any difference as plugging it in, from what I understand, doesn't affect the 12V battery. (See me answering my own question... :oops:)

Can also do it in Windows 10 using Windows PowerShell (Right click on the Windows Start icon and select Windows Powershell(Admin) Then use the command: format /fs:fat32 t: (replace t: with the drive letter of the SSD/USB drive.)

Never searched for or clicked on ads for Maserati's or SUVs. Maybe I've been sleep walking??? Come to think of it, I have no complaints. I'd much prefer that the advertising algorithms are getting it wrong rather than right.

Really Nice. Time to change your signature. ;)

Just saw an advertisement for a Maserati SUV at the bottom of this page. As if... :)

Thanks. The payment is pre-scheduled so it will happen when it happens. I'm hopeful that even they get it Wednesday it shouldn't stop delivery on Thursday. I guess we will find out. Last minute hiccups...

Understandable... It won't worry you in 2 month's time after you have been driving it for a while - but that's not much comfort now.

Mine too...

What did it say on the invoice? Haha. Glad it's not just me. When I got the delivery call, I asked the caller to tell me my custom rego and then give me the bank account number over the phone to make sure it matches the one on the invoice - I know I haven't provided the rego in any email...

That means you've got it by now. That's awesome.

True: but they are not very common these days for modern tires in good condition (from what I have read). And we have the roadside assist - assuming not going on long trips beyond metro.

From what I have heard, the Tesla tyre repair kits will get you rolling again but will require the tyre to be replaced. I have opted for a tyre plug repair kit and compressor instead. Again, might only be a temporary fix but should get to somewhere where the tyre can be properly fixed without...

Just email them back and ask for them to re-send. So far Melbourne delivery have been erring on the over-communication side since I got the invoice. Feeling good about this.

Got my call today. For those of you in Melbourne calling number was 9039 60xx. Thursday 5pm next week for delivery. (Was offered Wednesday 5pm but had to knock it back due to work commitments - Not entirely happy about having to make a grown-up decision. :mad:) Now there's the mad rush to...

Congrats and.. nice custom rego. :)

You are made of sterner stuff than me. I tried so hard to wait. Sooooo hard. In the end I crumbled like a shortbread biscuit. But I have an invoice now so I guess I can live with that shame. :rolleyes:

1st Stage waiting ended.... I received a nice reply to my polite request. Followed shortly by the Invoice (build Date 22/10) and rego forms. Gosh that's a big number at the end of the invoice. Still expecting a delivery before the end of the year. (Yay!) Initiate Process: Form Filling And...

Also found myself watching a few "A day in the life on board a container ship" videos together with "Tours of my container ship cabin".

Polite email sent. Waiting is....

With my Psychic abilities I can read between the lines... "Patience, grasshopper." I am trying to be calm and patient. But, at the same time, I am a bundle of excitement and energy with no outlet. In other words... Ohmmmmmmm. ARRRGGGHHHH!!!. Ohmmmmmmmmmm. ARRRGGGGHHHH!!! (repeat until...

So sorry to hear that. That's a huge bummer. Hang tight, though - It will happen.

Ordered: 17 October. Hidden VIN: 6 Nov. Car was on ANL Tongala according to the infallible oracle, @Vedaprime. Wonder if it's worth reaching out with a polite query?

Congrats to everyone who is getting calls. Most awesome news. I'm still in the land of zero contact but trying to be patient. I hope they give me more than a couple of days notice from first call to delivery - need to fill out paperwork, get the custom plates to Richmond, settle the money...
