    ... in the meantime.... for the Don Juan people my EDD has just been brought forward 3 days now 13th Dec-6 Jan... in Adelaide. I guess they've run out of cars to deliver as the GC hasn't made it yet and Don Juan made it to Melbourne first. I feel for you on the GC.... I'm sorry, but once your...

    I like what Tesla are doing with software and cheap set of cameras, but using camera only from high on the windscreen just doesn't work...if they had a bumper camera (like Model S X) then I'm sure it'll just work (eventually).... so don't know what theyre thinking using vision only from the...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Hi, my two cents worth. I had a MY RWD and I'd get about 320-340kms on the highway fully charged to zero. Feels a bit sluggish compared to a LR but like people say its starts to pull harder after 30-40ks... still fast enough to keep up with earlier 2000ish model V8 commodores. I"m expecting...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    A relation of mine bought a BYD, I had a look over it and compared it to my Model Y. The BYD looks to be a converted ICE car, just chuck out the petrol motor and put an electric in the front. Whilst the efficieny seems to be pretty good, its certainly wasn't an EV designed car. Whilst it...

    Try RAA in Adelaide... their price has come down a lot from the extremes a year ago. Around $1600 with $600 excess for me. And I feel they are good to deal with.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I've always found Tesla very responsive to fixing issues with delivered cars. My own experience and plenty others. My wife works in car industry (another brand) and just cause its a "new car" doesn't mean anything to its condition when your car arrives cause "stuff happens", not unusual to...

    OMG I'm glad its not just my car.... Yep some pretty loud rattles coming from somewhere back there... I want to climb into the boot while we drive to see if I can find them. I find the back seats sometimes rattle (position of headrests, arm rest seemingly) but as the the uprights of the seats...

    just look for LRW in the source code of your order page. Mine still coming back blank (no matches...no VIN)

    it can vary anytime within that period... they give you a couple of options (days) to pick from but really they want them out the door as soon as they're ready

    Australian MYLR to get Acceleration Boost?

    I had Acc boost on my old Model 3. Apart from cost there was no downside. The LR spring in its step is dampened when loaded up with 4 passengers. When I added Acc Boost it overcame that and really added some punch. No range difference, apart from 1 or 2 lead foot punches you drive normally...

    The ship "Morning Celo" is due to leave China for Aus on 12th Oct.... usually VINs appear as ship is loaded/leaving.... so that might line up with advice from Tesla re VIN assignments this week. Armacup schedule Asia to Oceania | Armacup

    Not my first Tesla... so been through the painful process of waiting before .... don't worry its all worthwhile in the end.

    No problems either. I went from cash purchase to lease. I just told tesla who was doing the lease and I shared contact details so both could communicate and update invoice. No problems...in fact Tesla did a bit of chasing for me as lease company were dragging their feet. Sorry your having issues...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Hey everyone. Just took delivery of MY midnight silver. Looks amazing and looks huge compared to M3. Heaps room and more comfy in back than the 3. Also much quieter and less wind/road noise than my 2019 M3. Panel alignment perfect (unlike M3 !). Suspension is fine although sitting in back tend...

    I put an eco hitch bar on my LR (same as P). Use it to tow up to 1 tonne. From memory there was some chatter about load ratings of performance rims/tyres. Anyway I enjoy the looks I get at the boat ramp or picking up a load of sand at landscapers 😀

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Thanks, I'd be interested in that too. As far as a meter goes it wouldn't cost too much to install a small meter on that circuit... a meter might cost say $100 plus install . So is this viable option... I wasn't aware of what tax rules were?? Have you got link to this on ATO site ?

    Yeah tint back window makes it blend with side and roof... dark all the way around
  31. A

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    They said definitely do not tint entire window but half (as I wanted and done previously) "could" be less risky.. they said they won't be liable. Dunno if its all conspiracy theory or what!!?? Reputable tinting company, great work on my previous M3 .... hmmm ?

    My tint company warned me that tinting half rear glass could cause heat stress crack even though they did my 2019 M3. They claim glass has changed in 2021....?

    I had FSD on my old M3. And I'd have to say the auto lane change/merge were magnificent and best feature. Summons in tight places handy at times and traffic light was ok ... so in that order... just my thoughts

    Someone on M3 thread said they had an EDD appear for them in Adelaide.... we're thinking that now Tesla have a Delivery Centre here now. Anyway I checked and my MY has Aug 8-22... 😃😃

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    I assume it doesn't matter when the legislation passes as it will be back dated to July 1. So biggest issue for me is how the lease company will commence the nov lease and then convert it with probably some repayment... I've asked NL company 3 times but not got an answer but maybe its more a...

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    I'm watching this with interest. I'm wondering how they will retrospectively apply the legislation. (I'm shortly going to apply for novt lease). Our company does employee contribution method meaning some of the lease cost comes out of my pocket hence negating fbt. If at end of year fbt...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My understanding is the lease costs 750 monthly in total and to offset FBT you contribute to the lease out of your own pocket (post tax $510 in your example). Once the legislation kicks in the lease will still cost 750but as there's no FBT so you won't need to provide personal contributions...

    I can't seem to find anywhere what the car calculates the range on screen for LR at 100% charge. The 2019 used to show about 480km ... any recent LR can share what their car shows... thanks
