    Victoria Destination Charging Across Victoria Program

    The Warrnambool charging was supposed to be open in April but no signs of install yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Australia MYRWD March 2023 Orders

    I know how badly you have been looking forward to this news. Glad you got the news you were hoping for. Now the real wait begins. 😅🤣

    3k-7k on average depending on the installer, location and quality. Som even go all the way up to 9k.

    It’s very different product to product, vehicle to vehicle. But yes, it’s the same process. Wash, prep and protect. But the intricate details vary (like the amount of swirls, paint thickness, curing time etc). You wash the car, decontamination (clay pad), depending on the paint - 2 star paint...

    My first transfer cleared in 24 hours and the final transfer cleared in roughly 4 hours. But your case, it’s very tight and unpredictable. Hope the funds clear and you are able to pick up your car. Good luck and keep us posted.

    I agree. The best sound system I have ever experienced in any vehicle. There was another post on customising the equaliser. I haven’t read it personally but my partner read it from TMC and set it up. It’s slightly better than the default.

    Have you applied ceramic coating before? I’m happy to order it from Waxit and ship them to you if you are comfortable applying it. It has a different curing time and application. I will be able to tell you more tomorrow when I apply it to my car.

    I’m a part time car detailer and have been doing this for more than 7 years. So I’m comfortable paint correcting and applying ceramic coatings. I’m applying the new CarPro D Quartz which looks to be more durable than the usual C Quartz UK 3.0 (which has been a staple for many detailers).

    Definite yes to PPF as it offers a very thick layer of protection that ceramic coatings can’t offer. But with everyone getting PPF on their Tesla, the prices have gone up like crazy and for the current price, it’s not worth it. If you are doing it on your own and know how to, then go for it...

    All my communication has been through my SA as he gave me his mobile number. He has been very helpful and when I asked about the UMC, he said it’s not included, unfortunately. I asked if he could do something and if there is a way to get it, he then offered a voucher and I was able to redeem it...

    I’m not a huge fan of Autoglym products but heard some decent reviews. If you are applying that, I would recommend something like Bowden own wet dreams or bead machine (assuming you prefer buying it from a store than through auto detailing websites like waxit) as a topper along with each wash to...

    I can never understand that. I was at Port Melbourne yesterday. We were the only pickup in the whole warehouse while we were there for 30ish minutes. They said it’s a quiet day with only 12 pickups but counted more than 200 teslas there. And as you know, we came all the way from the edge of...

    I’m personally applying CarPro D Quartz for the paint (this is their new professional coating and not available to public. If you are doing it yourself, I would recommend UK 3.0), CarPro Leather for the seats and trim, NV glass and wheel coatings for the glass and wheel respectively. I’m not...

    No. I checked with the SA when we go the invoice and he confirmed no UMC for us. However, he was generous enough to offer us a voucher to place one for free. I have mentioned this in detail in my previous post. Very rare for that to happen apparently. We also installed 32Amp plug and got the...

    Posting from another thread in the hopes it helps others. ————- Hello! We picked up our Model Y RWD MSM from Port Melbourne today. The collection experience was fantastic and can’t fault one bit. We arrived 35 mins before scheduled pickup as we received the ready for pickup message and...
