I'm worried about the ant's nest. It's really so important in the overall scheme of things. /s

Sure not needed on the Autobahn but a reasonable question in Oz. You could use the question as an opportunity to explain how remarkably versatile the Tesla is. For more adventurous road trips I carry a 20 mtr 15 AMP extension cord along with the mobile connector. Sometimes only way of reaching...

Showing my son-in-law (military) my new M3 Stealth Performance I floored it without warning. As he turned green muttering something about 'how many G was that pulling' I realised some advance notice may be needed. 2019.36.2.2 downloaded 2 days ago and another son-in-law (air-force) returns from...

Deciphered once, our brains will then fill in the gaps automatically.

Do you know if there have been any LR AWD deliveries in NZ? If so, it would be interesting to know their VIN numbers as this would give us a clue as to whether any LR AWD cars have been delivered to OZ yet.

Just read opening post - see I should have introduced myself to this thread. Reserved: 05FEB17 Ordered: 03JUN19 changed 24JUL19 Spec: P3- changed to LR AWD Colour: Pearl White FSD: No Home delivery Canberra changed to Sydney pickup after reading about mixed experiences...

@Kilak You should be ashamed of yourself for destroying my faith ... and that of others ... in the miraculous conception of the Model 3. Despite your comments I still cling to my belief that one day in the not too distant future and hopefully before Christmas my LR AWD is going to appear out of...

Firstly thanks for your clear and very informative earlier post. As to your speculation, I think you are right. I suspect their tolerances are getting so good that they now produce most motors to 'binned' or performance specification. If that is so it makes sense, particularly for international...

The non-cosmetic physical difference between P3+ and P3- are details such as performance braking, suspension settings, wheels and tyres. The performance of the high spec 'binned' motors and higher powered inverter of the P3- is toned down in software by removing track mode and reducing the...

Yes - it is curious and without actual driving we can only speculate. However, Tesla does control efficiency, range and performance through software, the increase in Model 3 range about 13 Mar 2019 is an example. How the front and rear motors are utilised can affect range, efficiency and...

Dave, who knows what software tweeks Tesla may still offer. The P3D- was offered when orders opened in Australia in late June - but not the LR AWD which I wanted and I ordered the P3D-. Early July the configurator deleted the P3D- and added the LR AWD at the same price. My understanding is the...

Sorry Mark. I'm out of my depth so can't answer. Hopefully answer above from @raynewman addresses your question.

A few moments ago. Still alive and kicking (sorry, didn't check your location)

Tried again a moment ago. Still alive and well! Rather alive with big Google warning (your connection is not private, etc.etc. NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID). Did you use the .com.au extension as per the original post? I checked in Australia. If in another country, is it possible the site is...

The site referenced is NOT teslamotors.com. @Wol747 was concerned about teslamotors.com.au is definitely not legitimate nor is it a domain of any legitimate Tesla web service.

Not so. Still operational a couple of minutes ago. (Thursday, 22 Aug, 17:20 ASET)

Me too! Rectified now.

Certainly a bad experience. Surprised you didn't 'complain' about the horrific safety.

Agree. I too think it is luxurious but recognise that I am a futurist and minimalist. Some like lots of buttons and fussy touches.

Never thought of farting cows as fossils.

Of course they are truly amazing numbers. My sarcastic comment was 'tongue in cheek' (sorry if any of you missed the /s at the end). I was suggesting how some of the shorts will try to pitch the Netherlands numbers. They try to create blackness behind every Tesla success.

Clearly the bottom has fallen out of the US market - hence need to sell in Netherlands /s

Phasing seems a highly plausible explanation and worth checking out. A couple of bass speakers out of phase would certainly flatten how the system sounds.

To be objective and if Xian is typical, it is still extremely polluted. If you think it has improved tremendously it must have been quite unlivable before.

Every one is different. I'd happily buy a demo for an extra $1,540 discount.

Interesting. Hope your 'early 2019' holds but my guess is that date assumes left hand drive. My understanding is that production of the RHD version won't commence until mid-2019.

Yes. Just as gasoline users should (but in the US don't) contribute to the costs associated with gas - to pick a couple of examples; extra health costs, higher defence costs.

Does anyone know if the Model 3 premium audio has an MQA compatible DAC? My apologies if this has already been answered but could not find a search function to check for any discussion.

Absolutely nothing to do with battery quality issues. That Oppenheimer report is really sad. You have to ask what motivates that sort of "fake news". The truth is the exact opposite. The previously revealed battery production problems were diagnosed and resolved. As for quality, the quality of...

As you say, it's all speculation either way as the relevant numbers won't be known for quite some time. However my understanding is that it is US deliveries rather than production that counts. Finessing deliveries to push the 200k into July would make roughly an extra 65,000 + customers eligible...

Why not? It makes perfect sense to channel deliveries into Canada, for example, so that achieving the 200k mark is pushed into the next quarter thereby maximising the number of customers able to use the US tax credit. If they could reach 5000 to 6000 Model 3 per week about the same time they...

Many thanks for the offer. Logged on this morning to find the estimated delivery for my Model 3 slipped from "early 2019" to a bland "2019" so I suspect we are in for a long wait for the Model 3 in Oz, and and me for the Queensland trip.

Congratulations. An absolutely sensational pioneering effort. I'm a Model 3 reservationist and had been thinking about off the beaten track possibilities. What you have achieved has blown those thoughts completely out of the water and opened up possibilities I hadn't dreamed of so a very big...

@AZ Desert Driver, you may find of interest today's Teslarati news story about South Australia and Tesla building the world’s largest virtual power plant - sun by day - power by night !! Tesla is building a massive "virtual power plant" in South Australia using residential solar and battery systems

Oz is a funny country. If you are not lucky enough to have the sun shining at night you can always get a Powerwall and it will give you night-time solar power.

I'm from Oz. My neighbour is delaying replacing his Audi to get a Tesla Model 3. Some background. Australia has the highest per capita roof top solar and the world's largest battery - Tesla of course. BUT we are the LOWEST per capita developed country for EVs. WHY? There is almost no government...

Face-tracking technology will be used in the Model 3 to monitor driver alertness, in my opinion. Its use explains both the purpose of the rear-facing camera and a cryptic statement in a press release about the technology from last May. "... Seeing Machines, a company listed on the London Stock...
