Does seem unlikely, doesn't it? *If* they do RHD CT, surely Aus and UK are first. (I was surprised to the extent rural England has got into utes recently).

Finally!

Call the payload for the NZ spec 1004 kg? I don't expect to see a RHD any time soon though.

I think the answer is that you just have to mute the sensors.

I'm increasingly tempted now that the car is 4+ years old and a lot of the warranty is gone anyhow. I agree that the software is the main problem. There's a fairly useful facebook group specifically for non-official model 3 towbar fitting.

I make it about 4.0l/100km, based on $3/l and 150 wH/km. RUC is $76/1000 km (not 100) but you must have got that right.

Eeek. Having had suspension work at the first WoF (3 year) the 4 year WoF was a nervous time, but all was ok. (I went slightly early to make sure it was still under warranty!). That said I'm sure I'll be a bit nervous again next year. The parts themselves have, iirc, a 12 month warranty. So I...

Admirable of Michelin, esp. given their commercial interests. But there's also plenty to the contrary, e.g. Braking distances and tread depths https://www.rospa.com/rospaweb/docs/advice-services/road-safety/vehicles/tyre-tread-depth.pdf I'm not trying to convince anyone otherwise, knock...

Are we talking about wearing them down below 1.5mm tread until they fail WoF? In my opinion that's too low and they should be replaced before then, the wet stopping distance in particular starts to suffer well before the legal threshold. If you're willing to run them right down obviously you can...

A new service centre? Seems like it from the size but doesn't seem to say.

I wonder if the S/X will ever return.

Yeah pass no issues. Hopefully that's the story from here on out!

Mine's in now. Honestly I can't decide if I'm hoping for a clean bill of health, or a set of new suspension components under warranty!

Definitely some suspension part weaknesses in 2019 and 2020 original parts it seems. Open question is if the replacements are improved!

I reckon the chances of RHD roasters (eventually at least) is pretty decent. Better than the CT maybe. It's a big deposit though to maybe sit for years before just getting refunded.
