    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    There are functioning foot well lights in my recent M3 LR. Cannot recall seeing options regarding them in the settings, but I have not poked at every possible button. Is that what you meant? Musically, it's hard not to smile at Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass, "Tijuana Taxi" while you wait...

    Charging Adaptors 101

    Just to confirm for future readers. The as-delivered car firmware (2022.15.102) and charger were limited to 8 Amps on a 10 Amp tail. Following this morning's update to 2022.24.5 and a charging session the limit is now 10 Amps.

    It really comes down to personal preference. Those that want a car to look pristine for its entire life (with them) may opt for a full car PPF to mitigate against the normal wear and tear stone chips and scratches that do accumulate. Others note that the Model 3 has a large, flat, painted area...

    So glad you have found the wait worth it! Should have no trouble at all recognising the plates as we sail past each other one day. My wife is trying to institute the "Tesla Family" wave... so if you see a midnight silver M3 carrying a strange lady waving that's us *<:0)8

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I have been out driving my week-old pride and joy and no longer waiting. 😁 Ran from Brisbane up to Gympie to see family. The instant get-up-and-go is such a delight. Really very enjoyable apart from two instances of sudden braking. One where the car's database clearly said the road was still...

    Supercharger - Gympie QLD

    I used this site over the weekend during normal business hours. Four stalls. One other user for the first few minutes of charging. Started at 115kW and fell smoothly to 47kW, 18 minutes, 21 kWh, 55% to 83% of Long Range battery. I understand from PlugShare that the gate keypad code for...

    Charging Adaptors 101

    My tails say 10/10 and 15/15 and I am still only seeing 8 Amps. It is not a huge deal to me ultimately, but it is interesting that these variations exist. Tails and Wifi... check. I have done 11 charging sessions, all but one has ended at the charging limit. Still no joy. I think it might...

    Charging Adaptors 101

    That large charge was followed by 12 hours sitting plugged in, locked, and otherwise doing nothing. That has been the general pattern since delivery. Have you set your cars "Advanced" updates or on the default setting?

    Charging Adaptors 101

    My battery SoC limit was 80% and the 11.7 hour charging session ran to that limit (as do most of the others). I've just increased to SoC limit to 90% for a longer trip this weekend: it is charging at 2kW and the app allows only 8A (i.e. no > arrow). The car is on firmware 2022.15.102. The...

    Charging Adaptors 101

    The UMC owner's manual (pp. 4) puts the figures at 8/12A on 10/15 A outlets. The manual is consistent with the UMC delivered with my car last Friday. On a 10 A outlet I get 2 kW reported in the app, roughly 8.3 A@240 V (rounding, measurement point etc. make this approximate). Looking at...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I had a similar call on Thursday last week for a Friday delivery. They were only flagging a slip from morning to late afternoon pickup for my car but did say that a different transporter had broken down. As it turned out, the truck actually arrived and the car was available as scheduled. The...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Advice for new buyers and those waiting. Be patient, flexible, and understanding. Your new pride and joy will come, but precisely when might move right up until the last few days. Manufacturing is hard, logistics is hard, and COVID is a cow, but ultimately everyone involved wants to deliver...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Well, the deities have smiled upon me and the car was there to be delivered 😁 They were quite happy for me to work through quite a long inspection list but I did not make them wait until I finished before clicking the magical delivery button. Just made myself certain that the car was the...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I would want them to check the person taking the car is the person that ordered the car. I guess that happens by proxy because you have access to the correct Tesla account and turned up at the correct time. I'll find out in a couple of hours if, and this is a goodie, the car arrived at the...

    I think it is Sales Advisor, although my point-of-contact signs emails as "Tesla Advisor". Still, less cringeworthy and more descriptive than "Team Member" or "Associate"

    You, Sir, are not alone in that :) I have one work colleague wanting to borrow the car for the weekend (half joking)... I don't pick it up until Friday.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Ahh, I was wondering why I had not seen my LR registered yet. Mine is due for pickup on Friday morning and I would like to insure it in one visit to the insurer. While I agree the Tesla red is quite lovely, it did not gain significant-other-approval-factor to justify the extra cost. The...

    Or completely overwhelmed by the arrival of an actual, real-life Model 3 and still has not made it out of the Brisbane delivery centre. I'll check on Friday ;)

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My unboosted LR is listed as 366kW in the register of approved vehicles. Given that @Ssjimmy3 has the same value on a P, I would assume this is the maximum rated power from both motors without limitations applied by the control software/circuitry.

    The shipping process can jumble things too. Take my order and @CompleteMuppit: ordered 6 Jan, same site, both LR, different paint, same build date, VIN date, different ships dep 21/27 Jul arriving 8/10 Aug, cars delivered 17/19 Aug.

    I just booked a delivery. The VIN does not show in the Carways search you linked, but I assume that only shows cars booked or currently in transit.

    If it was on the Viking, and unloaded in Melbourne, then you should be seeing it in the Register of Approved Vehicles Real Soon Now(tm)

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Similar here. Now 14-27 Aug versus 13-27 Aug on Saturday. I think the early date is creeping forward automatically as the US reaches a new day (it is still 14 Aug there) and realises that the 13th is already passed.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I think they try to give you a week notice. Do you know where your car is? Has it landed in Australia (i.e. VIN on the Register of Approved Vehicles) and when? I have the same window but still no delivery scheduling SMS for a Brisbane pickup. The car landed 11 Aug. I expect transit time...

    I think I saw someone recently with a Saturday appointment for pickup in Brisbane. Cannot imagine Sydney being any different.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Given the number of ways a delivery can be slipped a day or two before you get a choice, I do not expect this will be an issue. If your options are both impossible and inflexible then there will probably be people here that would pick up for you.

    They are not the only users of these ships. Tesla book space in competition with every other car/truck/bus/forklift manufacturer operating out of Shanghai.

    Finally appeared in the RAV, so probably dropped off Morning Crystal yesterday. I guess I can stop watching for at least 4 or 5 days while it motors to Brisbane

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Our cars have the same order location and date, same build date, both LR. It would be reasonable to guess they'd be on the same ship but mine has still not shown in the RAV. Maybe they are still clearing the Viking Passama load of vehicles out of the port, or Tesla is slow to lodge them with...

    The web site gives you a range of reasons your car is not listed. For existing cars the most likely reason is that the vehicle’s approval predates 10 December 2019 when the relevant legislation came into force.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My understanding is that Tesla will contact you with a few options for delivery time/date when they know what is possible. This ned not align with any previously offered EDD date range. I am still waiting. My car probably landed last night in Port Kembla, I do not expect that it could...
