I've now had my Model 3 for more than a week and combined with my Media day access (around a track), I feel I know the car enough to write the full review. It's long at 7,500+ words and I could easily have kept writing, but someone has to read it. If you have some time, grab a coffee and check...

Quick question.. I charged to 100% last night to see what I could get the actual range number to (knew it wasn't going to be close to 560km NEDC).. Managed 500km exactly. What have others been able to get? (I have the M3P- ) The full detail is available here - Full charged: Model 3 Performance...

Not my first thought, think I'll see how bad it is in summer, how well remote cooling works to cool it down before getting in.

Hey hey, so I also got the call for delivery today. Very exciting after being fairly deflated in a void of information over the past weeks/months about when I'd get my Model 3. Model 3 is coming Sept 30th, Tesla reneges on unlimited Premium Connectivity - techAU Good news: I'm getting...

Ok so have some news to share.. after getting a little tired of the lack of information I sent another email to the Melbourne delivery team. I got this email reply this afternoon that revealed just how big the delivery challenge is. Tesla typically don't talk about sales numbers outside...

Also have a P- on order and had a VIN which has now disappeared. Given they were unofficial, it's hard to know how meaningful they ever were, but certainly does indication there's some movement (at least by the web devs). Asked Melbourne Delivery for an update today.. got this.. Hello Jason...

Yep, white on white looks awesome in this video. I have white with black interior, got to see it at the media launch, very happy with my choice, but had white been available when I ordered the Perf- I think I would have paid up for white.

Borrowed that from the Model 3 Australia group on FB. This is definitely the most stalked ship in Australia. So far attempts to find a webcam have been unsuccessful.

Tim Chan on Twitter posted this.. Looks like those carriers are being put to good use. No plates means these aren't the first batch of fleet cars. Tim Chan on Twitter

Got it done, like others above, also paying cash, so final screen looks like this. Glad to see Autopilot is featured bottom-left, no doubt an effort to address what was highlighted during the recent earnings call - the single biggest reason for service calls to Tesla is a lack of understand of...

Not sure how others are financing their Model 3 purchases, but we renegotiated our home loan and tonight we signed off on the change. We're dropping the interest rate from 3.99% to 3.24% which is actually a net reduction for repayments, despite the larger loan size. Still expect to contribute...

Ok guys and girls, I was editing the footage from the track day on Monday and found something awesome. After cutting a couple of hot laps, I had a chance to come to a complete top, then plant the foot and test 0-100km/h times. It was only when I dropped a timecode on it in Premiere that I seen...

So after driving home 7hrs from the press event today I editing the Gopro footage into a video. Gave the Model 3 Perf a good test around the track. Scroll to the end of this post (or press End) for the video. Enjoy! Australian first: Track Impressions in a Tesla Model 3 Performance [Update...

Alright, so I just climbed out of the Model 3 Performance at their media launch. There's video coming, but here's my thoughts after 5 hot laps around a track in the Model 3 Performance - Australian first: Track Impressions in a Tesla Model 3 Performance - techAU

Car Advice have their full detailed review on YouTube - Really nice job from Paul here, makes me seriously excited to get behind the wheel.
