I don't think you would find any other car loan with 3.99% rate, the best I can remember was IMB with 4.88%. The only thing with better rate I can think ow would be redraw from your mortgage.

I understand that you trying rationalise it, but, as I said, I got real situation this Sunday on the parking lot, and nothing stopped the car from going in reverse. I was lucky that the nearest object was ~3 meters behind me. Please stop explaining me how the car was fine, and I was wrong...

Yes, because I just almost got into accident due to Tesla's poor UI design choices? Does that seem strange to you? I disliked the very, as we say in IT, "optionated" user experience from the start, and now I found that it's not only a nuisance, but a safety issue as well. I got your point that...

All those things need to be thoroughly investigated. EV adoption should not come with the costs of people houses and lives. Just googled this forum - dangerous issues with gear selection lever are not something new, here is the post with the mate that got the same issue as me - Stateless Drive...

That would "just a case of getting used" if it was not a car not driving in a way driver expects and can injure people. That's brushing off safety issue. That's not moving "play" button in Spotify interface in unfamiliar place, that's experimental features that do not have enough safety...

Just for the sake of simplicity, my real situation could be replaced with hypothetical "you are stopping at STOP sign of T intersection, with intention to turn left, turning on left blinker, look both ways that there are no cars, and start moving". If you used the wrong stalk you will go...

yes I did? As I mentioned, I stopped, turned the "blinker" on, ensured that car on the right gives me the way, and started moving. Do not see how that "8 kmh limit" changes anything?

It's not about "remembering", after 20+ years on the road most of your small hand movements are just muscle memory. Yes, I'm using the left stalk for blinkers 98% of the time, but when your mind is overloaded a bit - like you need to check if guy on the right is giving you the way, the way to...

After driving ~100km over 2 weeks... Car is ok, but nearly got into accident. Was leaving carpark, got to exit lane on the left, stopped to give way to another car, put left blinker on, started moving... And realised I'm moving backwards, almost hit the car behind me. Muscle memory from other...

Got the car yesterday. It would be my wife's car, not mine. Honestly, I don't like the car. Yes, the drive is fine, and probably fuel cost wise it's great, but UI ruins everything, from door handles and indicators on the other side of steering wheel, to horrible controls hidden in 3rd level...

1 day to delivery, car is already appearing in vicroads account

In the meantime, scalpers are going full retard https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2022-tesla-model-3-rear-wheel-drive-auto/SSE-AD-12474586?pagesource=photogallery&id=SSE-AD-12474586&index=8&networkid=SSE-AD-12474586

You should see MC now from that point...

Looks like there are plans to sell pre-paid services with the car - my script just noticed new hidden fields in page source code: ServiceMaintenancePackagePayment TireMaintenancePackagePayment

Unfortunately looks like there would be some queue there... Asian Vision is currently moored and would leave at 2:30am next would be Noble Ace (currently waiting just near PK) Fri 3:30am and then there is Southern Highway planned for Sat morning (currently travelling alongside Morning Clara...
