Despite the obvious differences between a Tesla Y or X and a 4X4 (clearance and large side wall tyres for airing down) that will make it a fools errand, the biggest problem for the future electric 4x4's, will be range unfortunately. Anyone who has driven on Fraser, knows you go through fuel like...

Hi Onshore - which wheel design did you purchase? I'm thinking the same when my tyres are ready for replacement, for cost reasons, although they've already done 25,000km and still looking like they have another 20,000 in them... so happy with that. On the original question - I don't regret...

Initially I thought it was spam, then I went straight to the qmr website and read the same thing. The link didn’t work for me, I’ll try again tomorrow although I’m a little confused why qmr are not supplying the tags directly.

I’ve tried to replicate the issue today and it’s behaving itself now. Might have just been a big early on in the software . Yes mine has the full suite of cameras, it’s a 2020.

I'm not alone... ha

I don't have full self driving, so I don't think it "looks" to the sides at an intersection (like a driveway to a road) .. does it?

I know the metal rail and plastic sills are lower than the "belly". Just not by much, and I'm one of the weirdest car owners around that does inspect these areas from time to time.

My only actual miss use of the controls I think could end up being quite serious. I live on a 100km road and have a long driveway. I have, on one occasion, used the auto pilot stalk as an indicator to turn right. Waiting at the driveway entrance, the car already had 100km/h on the indicated...

hat does look great EcoCloudIT, however in contrast, I'd like more clearance on my M3P. The belly is the issue for me, although I've only ever scraped the rear most jacking points on my mother's driveway. Just paranoid about damaging that beautiful smooth belly!

Can a Hyundai charge from a Tesla destination charger? That's good if so imo. Just thinking about the future when more friends have electric cars (possibly not Tesla's), they'd be able to use my 3 phase charger for a top up!

That is correct, brake fluid is hydroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture. This in time will contaminate the fluid through the vent in the master cylinder. Once moisture is in the system, it can corrode parts in the brake system. It's a cheap and easy preventative maintenance item every 2...

I wouldn’t mind that, the boot closing seems to take a special touch without it "slamming" in current form.

As a 2.5 month ago purchaser of a performance, this hurts a bit. Love the fact they are less expensive to improve take up, but wow, 10k less now is huge. No so much about resale, although that will be effected heavily for the people who purchased this year, for me the entry price is what really...

2020.40.4 installed on my M3P this morning. It seems to work pretty well and fixes up many discrepancies I have experienced with inaccurate speed signs I've lived with since owning the car. I don't have FSD, so I was pretty wrapped to still get this full update. By far the most impressive so far...

Is this "offer" only an Australian thing? I'm wondering if they are realising that the FSD package offered in Australia for over 10k is allot of money for very little improvement / advancement. A comment from the sales people when I bought my M3 was they thought it (10k FSD) didn't add much...

I believe it is more cautious, especially around traffic lights. To adjust to the current speed limit, I’ve always just tapped the speed limit. In the release notes is states you “simply tapping the cluster speedometer “ I’ve tried tapping everywhere, nothing else seems to work except the...

That explains the difference, thanks

Have you got FSD Johnbne? I don’t have the chime option. No FSD either.

Me too, went for a drive to let it calibrate (I’d read that), but then realised we don’t get speed sign recognition. Other makes get this here, so it shouldn’t be a local restriction. Could be compliance paperwork that needs to be approved first... just guessing.

My May build performance had carpet mats. And no front hooks, I bought them off a local supplier and they fit look like a factory item.

No, I don't think so. For efficiency of my off grid system, 3 phase is much better as it shares the load over 3 inverters. As far as I know the new V3 doesn't support 3 phase.

Yes, thanks for the reply. Just picked the new baby and it came with the v2, thankfully.

If anyone could tell me which model HWPC (2 or 3) version people are receiving with their new Model 3's lately, it would be appreciated? I was reading the new V3 (glass front) doesn't have 3 phase input.... I have prepared my electrical circuit for a 3 phase connection.

I saw that too, about 600$ less now.

I saw that too, according to the shipping spreadsheet, no more deliveries till August. I'm still happy to wait, I think..

Interesting development for me, I ordered our M3P (white on white) this morning and by lunch received a call from the delivery team saying my allocated car was in Sydney and will be delivered in 2 weeks. OH CRAP! It was also confirmed it was not the update model. I was expecting 2 months...

I'd take that with a grain of salt, the consultants would not know I'm pretty sure.

If they reduce by 2k, let's say, the reduction in the price for the car is substantially more than the 2K. Factor in LCT and stamp duty (from 2% to 4% in QLD over 100k), the difference could be more like 5k for the P.

I'm waiting Greg. I check the prices every day at the moment and I agree with your points.

Me too Greg. After a false start over a year ago, and watching the prices go up and up effecting the silly 2-4% over 100k stamp duty (QLD), I'm eagerly waiting for some $ relief to pull the trigger.

Regenerative breaking is when your body heals itself.

Because it’s the garden city..

Did you notice the charge flap was open on the truck? Either it was opened up as they were strapping it down or the wind forced it open. The flap seems flimsy to me to be honest.

Software bugs?

Can't even afford to put petrol in the car, and the engine does't run.

I have a similar question, what was the time between the first ship docking (Sydney) and the vin appearing and / or contact from Tesla?

Not sure about NZ, in Australia when the orders opened up, the P- did not include track mode or the top speed unlock. It did include homelink though. The top speed unlock was only on o/s orders that needed to wait for their carbon fibre spoiler to be installed on a delivered M3P. I’ve not...

I’m one of "those" people, and I’m looking forward to receiving my M3P

Or a rear spoiler..

That’s an interesting observation. Dealers would normally do their own pre delivery after the shipping company / dock processing does their Australian specific bits. Tesla appears to be outsourcing all of that work, might explain why cars are being delivered with problems is some cases.

Which state?

I can confirm I’m not one of them.

Still a delivery though.

We saw the blue as well. Looked really sharp to me, especially with the white interior. No losers here imo.

I was in Brisbane today and dropped into Tesla. They had the M3P white on white there for test drives, totally reaffirmed my decision, looks sooo nice in the flesh. We were going to call ours wasp, but now thinking of marshmallow... those seats, mmmm

No vin for me, nothing has changed.... I must have been allocated to the second batch, Elon didn’t appreciate my Dr Suess connection...

Are you people seeing this in the source code or on a clickable page that summarises your inputs? (My DOB is a day early too, in the source code.)

I’m coming down now, I’m putting it in chill mode. Back to the waiting place. That’s Elon on the chair, he’s contemplating his next tweet.

I had, before going through the next stage, the beginning of the vin, it was near the end. Searched for 5yj, and there it was. But once I filled in all the details, no trade, no finance, that place maker no longer exists, let alone a full vin. Maybe they don’t like the cut of my jib?

Wahoo, done the next step. I don’t have a vin in the source code either.... well we got this thread well and truly past 200 pages, well done everyone that’s contributed towards all the dribble.
