My novated leasing company created a lease without ECM. As long as it passes before April 1st, all is good.

Does filling the large compartment/bucket in the trunk and thus reducing air volume make any difference?

I'll post my experience with the diy ppf kit when it gets here. Seems to be currently stuck in eBay global shipping limbo. I was hoping it would get here before the car does.

Cool, thank you. And I assume you had the camera open on the Fold in splitscreen mode and then screen recorded? I think I might be able to do that on my Pixel 6 Pro, just with smaller windows. Did you find that mounting the phone in the car would introduce additional vibrations?

Sort of related: What is the best Android app to measure and more importantly compare sound levels? Ideally something where I can record and then compare to a previous recording. I want to make sure that any modifications I attempt actually do have an impact and aren't just placebo.

It is also trivial to commision it yourself. My sparky had never installed a wall charger before, so I did the commissioning.

I rewatched the Australian review and it seems like Australia will get the rubber tail light blocks, but not extra gasking at the top

Fingers crossed. My car is from the Shanghai factory, not sure they have added that yet. It might be exclusive to the gigacastings.

Ah, thanks! Is this area hard to get to? I just ordered two packs of these, 10 sheets in total: https://www.repco.com.au/en/car-seat-covers-car-accessories/interior-accessories/other-interior-accessories/dynamat-sound-deadening-xtreme-combo-pack-10440/p/A5583996 Plan is to add 4 each to the...

Is that the area directly under the bucket?

Great video, thank you! Especially for showing how easy it is to take off the quarter panel trim and access the area for putting butyl on. For the other side, you also need to remove the top trim piece to unscrew the subwoofer, right? Also sorry to hear you broke the folds screen. Hopefully...

Would that still work for 3 phase appliances such as ducted heating/cooling? I guess it'll just draw one third from the battery, two third from the grid?

Anyone know if they fixed this in the recent Shanghai cars? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/ear-pain-pressure-help.205783/

@ringsau Would you mind sharing a bit more info on the install? I am in the same situation (minus powerwall) and am thinking of installing one. As I understand it, you have to decide which phase of the house to connect to the powerwall?

Same SMS. 12:30pm order, 31/7 BD, Canberra.

It's probably on Asian Vision or Paglia

I got myself a diy kit for the front. Driving a fair bit on unsealed roads, so stone chips are a concern. Also got two rear ppf pieces for where the car bows out, as well as mudflaps to prevent stones from being kicked up. Not going to bother with ceramic. Will give the car a spray of Bowden's...

BD 31/7, just got updated EDD of Aug 27 - Sep 10, Canberra

It also didn't show Glovis Century until recently. Wouldn't worry about that

Glovis Century - very unlikely Asian Vision - likely if your EDD is August/Early Sept Paglia - likely if your EDD is Mid September Paganella/Morning Cherry/Morning Crystal - unlikely as Tesla doesn't want cars sitting at the docks for too long

The leasing company I ended up with, LeaseLab, said this wouldn't be an issue. They gave me these options, but I assume as long as I can them some sort of proof, it should be alright I am planning on using one of those apps to generate a monthly report. I asked about that here: Automated way...

There hasn't been a ship yet that would have been able to unload 31/7 BD cars. Closest will be Glovis Century on the 20th, but it's a big stretch, especially if people are now seeing their new EDD range match Asian Vision

https://armacup.co.nz/schedules/asia-to-oceania With a bit of luck your car is on the Paganella, but Morning Cherry and Crystal aren't too far off either

Glovis Century will arrive in Port Kembla on the 20th: Daily Vessel Movements

Time to go ship watching :) Glovis Century (slim chance Tesla trucked cars to Yantai) is docking in Brisbane today, and tomorrow we'll know if it's headed to Port Kembla. Asian Vision (confirmed Tesla ship) is arriving in 10 days in Brisbane also.

Actually does go to Port Kembla after Brisbane, at least that is what the Queensland website says as next port after Brisbane

Actually, I just checked. Glovis Century will stop in Brisbane, but then move on to Port Kembla. So it makes it a bit more likely. If anyone wants to check for themselves: Public Pages Select Brisbane top right and then scroll down until you find Glovis Century

You are correct, but Tesla has used Yantai in the past which is not too far away, just not for Australian shipments. It would also involve trucking ships from Brisbane. So while I think it's possible, it's very unlikely. I'll check the RAV on the 16th/17th and if my car shows up, we can be quite...

Yep, not showing up anywhere yet.

Glovis Century would be the only ship that aligns with my BD July 31, EDD August 18-Sept 1 order, but I agree, it's probably not happening. It would be a pretty big departure from usual procedure only to gain 10 days

Two new ships have emerged as possible mystery ship contenders. Glovis Century, arrives 16/8 in Brisbane and Asian Vision, arrives 26/8 in Port Kembla

Fwiw, my Outlander has the same vents and no cover. I think it's pretty much standard. That being said, can't be expensive to add a 5 cent plastic piece to a 70k car

Fingers crossed. Paglia would make sense for BD 31/7 cars

People on Whirlpool found their model Y on that tracker. Build dates around mid July

You can check here if your VIN is on those ships https://www.molace.com/TRK/Search Mine is not. BD 31/7 EDD 18/8-1/9

But this would be on top of being able to charge from those power outlets. The mentioned 470km stretch from the post above mine could be cutting it very close

Have you thought about bringing a small generator and largish jerry can just in case?

Completely off topic, but rather than making cars, we should be making batteries and also become a leader in recycling them. Got all the resources here, research to optimise chemistry of batteries and make recycling more efficient. Lots of skilled labor and we could even run the plants with...

Thanks, but I have already set up a normal novated lease. Car is coming soon and I needed to get things settled quickly

Ya, it's pricey. All these accessories are adding up quickly. I think another thing I am concerned about is the significant frame and I wonder if it still feels nice and open when the sunshade is stored. I guess this is hard to tell unless actually trying it out.

What are people thinking about these retractable sunshades? https://www.taptes.com/products/tesla-model-y-retractable-sunshade?variant=39701732589670

Not knowing your situation, but I was also thinking of having my company buy the car for my personal use so I could write it off and not have to pay FBT under the new legislation. But the question remained as to what happens after/if the FBT exemption ends. I went the novated lease route...

If Glovis left for Australia, it would fit into the late August EDD range

If you have a look in the owners manual for UK and the one for Australia, you can see that the UK one mentions the shelf but the Australian one doesn't. So it's very unlikely that we will get one

My bet is on cost cutting and/or they still had tons of parts for the non parcel shelf trunk.

It's just weird that other RHD markets get a parcel shelf, but Aus/NZ don't. I will add an aftermarket one, as it could dampen the noise a bit more

It was a similar September range originally but then was moved forward by two weeks.

Still very curious as to what ship my car will be on. Build date 30/7 and EDD 18/8 - 1/9 does not line up with any of the ships on the Armacup schedule

I think the earliest I have seen was August 5th, so hopefully we get clarification soon on if there is a parcel shelf :)

Speculation is that it is a new ship, based on 31/7 build date and the EDD showing as early as August 17 for some
