    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Does anyone remember how long it was between the model 3 Sr+ & P- was made live to order and then when the model 3 LR was made live? I vaguely remember it being only a few weeks or a month before you could order a LR, but I can't remember exactly. Maybe the model Y will follow a similar timeframe

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    I'm also waiting for a LR. Only reason why I don't want the P is that it's lowered and has the bigger wheels which reduce range. Otherwise if they release a P- like they did with the 3 when it first came which had the standard SR+ wheels, then I would consider that. Was the 3P- lowered?

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    If my memory serves me correctly, the order for the model 3 was first we put our deposit down. 3 years later we were able to place an order on our reservation, and a month or 2 later it started showing up on vehicle certifications and a few arrived in Australia for testing and media test drives...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    The "little fish" I was referring to was Australia, not all RHD countries. The UK will most likely get their cars from Berlin, and will definitely get theirs before us as they did with the Model 3 which is why I am saying that if we are getting ours out of Berlin also it will be a very long...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    If we get ours from Berlin, we will be waiting till 2022 at the absolute earliest. They won't start producing model Y's till July 2021 and all of Europe will be first in line for a year or so after that. Then they will consider switching the equipment to RHD and start sending them to us little...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    I remember the model 3 was given an estimate timeframe of something like mid 2019 when I first put my deposit down in 2017, but I am not aware of the process of the model s and X. Were they given estimates also of when they were arriving in Australia?

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    I read that Elon said Europe would get their Model Y's from Berlin, but I wasn't sure if that included the UK? I know it is a good assumption that they would produce the UK's RHD also from Berlin, but I think back to how the model 3 was done, the UK was almost a completely seperate entity to the...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    I don't think anyone is suggesting they will be producing RHD anytime soon, but what timeframe is more the question. From my knowledge, they have never released any sort of time frame for RHD model y being made so hoping them to be made "sooner then scheduled" doesn't make much sense since we...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    My guess is that if they do build a factory in the UK as per the article below then that could be where we get our RHD Model Y's. It would make sense for Tesla to make all RHD versions in the one factory therefore not needing to switch tooling etc to make the car RHD. Tesla linked to new UK...

    Tesla Model Y - no parcel shelf

    True, but in my experience, a thief is usually not going to break windows and risk getting caught etc if he has no visual confirmation that there is in fact anything of value to be stolen. As opposed to there being no parcel shelf and my work equipment sitting out in the open for all to see so...

    Tesla Model Y - no parcel shelf

    All of my work equipment is way too big to fit under any of the under floor compartments. So only way is for me to "hide" the contents. Really hope someone makes an aftermarket parcel shelf before the car is sold in my country.

    Tesla Model Y - no parcel shelf

    This to me is the stupidest omission ever. I for one constantly carry expensive equipment for work in the back of my car and not being able to slide a cover over it is ridiculous and just asking for it to get smashed windows and stolen equipment. What a shame.

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    I'm still confused how the trunk status works in this new version. Does it show it as opened on the screen when it is open or does it flash between opened and closed like the hansshow one does? How do they claim it can be closed on the screen if it does show the trunk as opened and non flashing...

    Very exciting. When you get them, let me know the fit in our cars. Happy to buy them if they are a snug fit. The ones I got from Luckeasy on aliexpress are terrible.

    That is not what has hapenned in the US.

    Yeh they look fine. I think you are meant to maybe use double sided tape on the clips to hold them in place. Also the front doesn't need the clips generally, its the back one that needs it a bit more.

    I got some from ebay and they are a bit useless. The shades themselves seem to be fine, its the clips. The clips mine came with have just a slither of plastic to slip between the roof and the trim, but it just slides straight back out again, so a bit pointless. I think some of the others ive...

    My car was in the first bunch of cars shipped from Tesla and is a July 2019 build, and it records dashcam and sentry mode videos in h264 codec and not h265 as apparently MCU 3.0 is meant to use. I pulled apart the trim under the passenger side the other day, and under there you can see the MCU...

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    Hi @km100 did you work out how to fix the aggressive initial open on the trunk? I finally got around to installing mine today and it is seriously scary how fast it opens initially before it slows down to the normal speed.

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    But what does the screen show after it has finished opening? Does it still flash between open and opened? Is it the same on the app on your phone? Also they claim it's extremely quiet now. It's hard if you didn't have the older one.

    That is ridiculous. I have a Tesla Offer one and I requested to buy any extra wires etc I need from Hansshow to make it work like their one and they told me pretty much the same thing. They are not "compatible" and I would need to buy a complete new one from Hansshow. What bull. The kits are...

    Sorry, there were a few spelling mistakes in that post. Can't work out how to edit the post anymore.

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    Check out TeslaOffer. They now have modified their power liftgate to enable the ability to close the trunk from the screen inside the car. Plus it is apparently quieter then before. I spoke to them yesterday and they will be offering an upgrade kit to those with v1 (myself included) however by...

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    Very keen to see how it goes. It is a little hard to see, but it looks like on their videos on their website that the trunk open and close seems to flash on the screen when it is open. Let us know how it works exactly after you've installed it.

    Did anyone else notice that in the release notes for 36.2.2 there was no mention of faster charge for SR+ on superchargers? According to those overseas who have already had version 36 software, it is meant to be a feature of this version of the software isn't it? Wonder if we aren't getting that...

    Thanks for the reply, however my main question was have you ever had it randomly open the trunk while driving due to the foot sensor being triggered by an object on the road? I read somewhere someone saying this has happened to them. Seems impossible as I imagine the foot sensor is exactly the...

    I am also curious about the foot sensor. I have read somewhere that you can get phantom trunk openings while driving, but that does not make sense to me as I thought the trunk could not open when the car is moving regardless whether it is triggered by the foot sensor or the trunk opening button...

    In the footage it looks like a blank key with a big attachment he uses for leverage that he sort of jiggles and forces it in. Then some aggressive turning and it unlocks.
