    You're not alone. The sound of forehead-slapping has echoed around the community since orders opened.

    The glass of the roof is actually hot to touch from the cabin, try it. I think that's where most of the heat is coming from.

    If there's anyone on the Gold Coast looking for a good installer for their wall charger, I have to recommend Robina Electrical. I wanted 32amp and had a difficult install, 2 storey house with garage on the far side of the supply box, a 30m run. The first quote I got was $2,100. They got it...

    Wouldn't that be life-endangering for you and other road users?

    I was disappointed about the lack of DAB, but TuneIn more than makes up for it. Pretty much every radio station in the world.

    Yes, I seriously considered PPF, but it only lasts 5 years and really only protects from minor scratches and chips. Getting scratches and chips corrected professionally would cost you less than $1k over that time, so i can't see the value. Like you, I'm getting a ceramic nano coating for $1.2k.

    Mine too, apart from one tiny pinprick paint nib. Perfect alignment too.

    Just too many maybes for me. I have severe, and understandable FOMO.

    Stupid question... How do I email the sales and delivery people in Brisbane? I reserved Sep 2017, ordered Day1, red P- cash. Have a VIN and heard nothing. I'm supposed to be on a quick relaxing holiday in NZ and I'm worried about mobile coverage. I need help!

    Do you think an insurance company would pay anything if you had a smash injuring a paying passenger? Uber will cover the passenger, but your non-disclosure will void all claims for any damage. I wanted to rideshare my Model 3 too, but found it impossible to get affordable insurance.
