It was a free upgrade (but it's the same price anyway), from an early 2017 reservation and 31/May initial order of a P+. VIN range 488xxx

Tesla are really pushing for End Sept deliveries... keep an ear out for the phone. Just got a call: Sydney LR AWD however due to the push, they are offering a swap to the P3D- :eek::D:) pickup before end Sept.:cool:

If you charge a similar amount each night, the PW will learn to take that load into account when working out it’s target charge level each evening. But it may get thrown around a bit if the charge amount vary a lot each night. Suck it and see.. there are a few modes to choose from.

PS: We do dump a lot of power to the grid on sunny days, and as I get train to work, I plan to control the HPWC to charge the car from excess solar during the day, once the house battery is charged. Instead of only relying on off-peak or stored power. Charging the car directly from excess solar...

The PW2 learns the patterns of use and sun, so if you have a run of sunny days it will adapt and not charge very much or at all overnight. If like this week, it learns not to rely upon the sun and will charge during off-peak to cover the shoulder or peak times when the power is more expensive...

For me, I started with the P+, because didn't like the look of the Aero wheels. But when the LR became available, the worry about the low-profile tyres, lack of any need for the extra accel., realization that the aero covers remove to show some not too bad mags and the extra range tipped it in...

You can use the Advanced time based control and it will use some fuzz heuristics AI jumbo jumbo to work out how much to charge overnight. You can put in the tiered power charges and it will try to minimise the overall power costs for you... rainy days like today still throw it off however.

Yes, another Sydney LR AWD white, here and I got the same SMS at 12:02pm.

Just send a message from the ‘Request a change’ on your ‘Manage’ page, worked for me... although it may have been a fix the implemented. Not sure as I didn’t get any response, just noticed the hidden data became correct.

Thanks. A question for the DS.

Why not call it the ... Beetroot? ... hold on that’s not a fruit. o_O Wait is obviously sending me crazy. Waiting for the real unicorn which seems to be the LR AWD. Only 3 in AU, all waiting for VIN, all white according to spreadsheet. Obviously a smart choice.

Do you mean that the surcharge is only for Amex, or did you only ask about Amex? I.e. do you know if there is a surcharge for MasterCard?

Cmon, we can do better. Apply a bit of Aussie/NZ slang rules.. maybe we should say.. “I’m just going to throw the shopping in the .. banana” .. too much? :p

Not sure if it was made clear in previous posts, but is BPay an option to pay with, or only a TT or other direct transfer?

Also, he said the wheels were covered. Could have been aero wheels (my guess) ...

Delayed report.. :( My brother spotted 6 black model 3s on a truck heading north along the M7 in Sydney and it exited at Wallgrove Road around 5:00 pm yesterday (Tuesday 20th).:D He was driving so didn’t get any photos unfortunately, also as he doesn’t have Teslaritis, all he could report was...

Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by ignorance ! Most people will not have the concept that it is a place needed to recharge. They will see it like another disabled spot that they can take if they can't find a more convenient space. Education is necessary. We should not...

Sorry.. you must be after S or X. .. very focused on the Model3 ATM.

Orders only opened on the 31st of May in Australia. Don’t worry it will be worth the wait. Many people here reserved three and a half years ago. Just a little further...

This is for NSW... You can reserve plates at myPlates.com.au for up to a year. You pay a yearly fee, which you will pay each year anyway. That fee is based upon the number series. Full custom are about $495 per year, personalised to a few fixed letter-number groupings like 33.ABC or ABC.12X etc...

Just heard back from a Tesla's Inside Sales Advisor: "This will be possible, please ensure that you do bring the plates with you on the day of delivery and we can fit them for you" :D So if you have reserved plates, get then printed and ready. :) Even if the do say "NO OIL";)

Good point, I will direct my question to the service centre. Thanks.

Thanks Meloccom, very helpful.

I have some personalised number plates reserved for my prospective model 3, and I was wondering if anyone has experience with Tesla when it comes to having the car fitted with custom plates at the time of delivery. Will I need to have the plates made and deliver them to Tesla before delivery...

Sorry for the thumbs down, my finger slipped whilst nodding off on the train. I wasn’t sure if I could revert it. Apologies for any implied disparaging.

Brilliant, thanks for the link.

Thanks Techno-phile

Not assuming you are using a Powerwall, but... Speaking of excess solar, does anyone know if a Powerwall 2 gateway can interact with the car to charge only from excess solar once the Powerwall is full, or in the case above were you manually setting the car to charge when your solar generation...

Maybe we'll see more superchargers installed at fast food outlets now.

Also totally closed on Sundays. The small sign inside the door also stated that all sales were now to be conducted via the Martin Place showroom. Seems like St Leonards is now only for the service centre and superchargers.

OK found this for Vehicle Certification in Australia: For some vehicle categories a sample of each of the model variants must also be made available for VSS to inspect. This inspection also satisfies the registration inspection requirements of the States and Territory registration authorities...

That web site says: Proposed SUTI Date says 1/Jun/2019. What is a SUTI date? Does that mean sale date?

Sorry, it does terminate... my bad.

The script seems to work. If you remove the "en_AU/" from the URL, it says "Available" in green, and with the "en_AU/" in the URL it says: "Not Available" in red. Probably want to send an email or something, also it terminates as-is, so you may want to modify it a bit to keep looping.

In the UK you can order a model 3 now without being a reservation holder. I just confirmed it over a VPN. The estimated delivery is July for any of the configurations and the lowest price for SR RWD is 38,900 pounds (before savings). Some good news is they do have the tow hitch available. So I...

If FSD after purchase is AUD$11400 and $8500 if included in the purchase, then if the car is already in the LCT bracket (above $75526) then by my calcs, adding at purchase would put the FSD at $11605 including LCT), so only $205 extra to include FSD at purchase time. Assuming that it is included...
