If you pay the final payment by credit card, you will have a choice to pay on delivery.

iPhone is a much smaller & simpler object. The protection and delivery logistic is much simpler. For a car, you can't put it in a box with protection and wrap it with plastic. People need to drive it around in order to put it into the ship and deliver to the delivery centre. Each step can have...

I believe Opticoat didn't hide scratches. According to my detailer, the detailer needs to fix all paint defects before applying the coating; otherwise, it will stay under the coating forever. I agree with you... it worths the money.

Do you have "Free Supercharger KM Remaining" under (or better inside) Loot Box (where you can share your referral link) in your Tesla App? I used a referral link to order my Model 3 and I have "1,500" under "Free Supercharger KM Remaining" there.

The 50kW fast charger in Swinburne University is another option for you. It is slower but it is free.

My P- has Dual Motor with red underline badging.

Agreed. Also, their customer service are very friendly. The process is also streamlined and very fast. I received an approval in within 48 hours and they handled all the settlement communications, such as request for invoice, with Tesla. There are no account setup fee and keeping fees.

I picked it up from Richmond. I didn't have these issues (or not aware it yet). But there was another one next to mine waiting for delivery has a lot of micro-scratches. I will send my car to the detailer for PPF on Monday and they will fix all paint defects before the installation. I will ask...

I switch the firmware update option from standard to advanced. Connect the car to WIFI. Next morning, I unplugged the car. About an hour later, I received a notification firmware update is available. Not sure unplug the car made any differences. I just tell you exactly what I have done to get...

I tried that on my model 3. It did change lane but disengaged auto-steer and switched to traffic aware cruise control after lane changed. The steering wheel icon changed to grey. Is that an expected behaviour? I checked the manual but found nothing.

Here they are!

Hey guys scheduled to pick up in Richmond... I was scheduled to pick up mine tomorrow in Richmond. I received a call from Tesla today... and was thinking a delay of my delivery again. Surprisingly, they told me I can pick up the car anytime today and I did! After I took it home, I realised my...

@dmaunder picked up his Model 3 yesterday and he can only charge the car at 12A with a 15A socket using the UMC + 15A tail.

How do they handle the scratches? They booked an appointment for the fix? Do you think they can be fixed by detailers? Thanks.

Don't worry. I don't feel offended :). I am not an electrician and I can be wrong. I never think I can plug an 10A plug into 15 A socket. Now, I know more on the AU/NZ domestic power socket design philosophy.

You will use Amphibian adapter if the 15A socket is not good? If that's the case, you can't use Amphibian adapter because it is a 10A -> 15A socket adaptor. It won't fit into the 15A socket. You solution should be reducing the charging current in the car settings. Different people have...

First, I don’t aware of a high quality 10A cable is more expensive than an amphibian adaptor. The claim that having the adaptor and a 15A cable is cheaper is not very convincing. Second, if you use 10A to 15A adaptor -> 15A extension cable -> UMC with 15A tail, the UMC will draw 15A current and...

Or simply buy 1 x 10A extension lead and 1 x 15A extension lead. Use different plug to match with the outlet. I think it is cheaper and simpler. It is not recommended to use extension cord to charge EVs. I will only use it in case of emergency. It is not wise to use it on daily basis. I have a...

That guy was me :) In my experience, the sales people do not really know much about paying the final payment with credit card. They told me the surcharge rate was 2.5% and you need to pay in the store before your delivery date (i.e., visit the store twice). It is completely wrong. The...

Since we pay exactly the same price as LR AWD, we can sell it as "Tesla Model 3 LR AWD" with 3.4s 0-100 kph time. Our cars are at least as attractive as a LR AWD with 4.6s 0-100 time.

Agreed. It also won't make you getting the car earlier. In fact, it just makes the delivery later for everyone. It simply takes away their time from working on delivery to handle the emails. Even eventually they will decide to ignore the email, they still need to understand the email, check...

I am more concern about the conservative attitude of the authorities in Australia. Many FSD features are available overseas for years but they are still not approved in here. I budgeted for FSD upgrade after delivery. However, I decided not to do it after I found out FSD is essentially the auto...

They all sent to UK :p

Your Amex platinum card is not the same as mine. My card do not earn David Jones points. My card also does not have a cap in earning. I also won't pay $1425 on fees. In the way I use my points, the point worths much more than 0.7 cents. I will earn points of value 1.5 x of the surcharge. I...

In my situation, I received more than the annual fee I paid every year. There are $450 + $400 travel credits, good insurance coverage, lounge access, etc. Something that not suitable for you doesn't mean it doesn't make sense for others. It is just not for you.

For any EVs, they do not draw high current on starting the car. As a result, the 12v battery suffers more sulfation in an EV. Also the constant power drain from electronics (this is not EV specific and happens to many modern vehicles) when the car is parked make it worse. Therefore, it is...

Different card has different surcharge rate. For American Express, it is 1.5%.

My charge card does not have a limit but I need to call American Express to let them know I am going go make an expensive purchase.

I received the final invoice today. There are nothing specific on credit card payment in the invoice but I have the delivery confirmed, in writing, I can pay with credit card on delivery date without slow down the delivery time.

The delivery specialist told me different cards have different surcharge. 1.5% is only for Amex. I don't know the surcharge for MasterCard.

Delivery specialist called today. My delivery date is 16/9. They will call me to confirm the delivery date in the next 2 weeks. He told me the final payment credit card charge for American Express is 1.5% and I can pay with my card on delivery. I told him it used to pay in full 2 days before...

Delivery specialist called me! He told me the delivery credit card charge for AMEX is 1.5%. I can pay it with my card on delivery. I told me this is not what I read on the Internet and he reconfirmed it with other people in Tesla. Now, 1.5% begin to making sense for me. I can also avoid the...

Our model 3s comes with 11kW charger according to Tesla. Onboard Charger Furthermore, the charging efficiency is higher with higher charging power.

Pepper Money made a request to Tesla delivery team for the invoice about an hour ago. I didn’t ask Pepper to make the request. I guess I will receive a call early next week.

Same here. It was 488 but now 443. I hope it means we will get our car earlier and they will call us really soon.

I received a reply from Melbourne delivery that they will begin deliveries on September but cannot provide a concrete time at the moment. My VIN also disappeared today.

My VIN is 488xxx. Can they allocate VINs before they arrived?

Mine also changed this morning. I can find my VIN by searching "5YJ" which found something like `"vin":"5YJXXXXXXXXXX"`.

I think it is the Certificate of Registration. You should have one in your registration renewal notice.

I found this on a Facebook ad. I don't know if they are good or not. All Weather Rubber Floor Mats for Tesla Model 3 Taptes mentioned by other many many pages ago... All Weather Floor Mats for Tesla Model 3

Again, it depends on your situations. For me the AMEX Platinum charge card benefits that I used is higher than the annual fee I paid. Upgrade from a lower class full fare to higher class with points still gives you benefits. I don't think it is a false economy. People just need to do their...

It depends on your situation. AMEX Platinum charge card gives 11250 equivalent Qantas for $10k. I used 25000 qantas points to upgrade my flight from Premium Economy to Business class on a trip from Singapore to Melbourne. Each point worths about 6 cents in this case. My final payment is $34k...

Just received a reply from Tesla Australia the credit card fee for the final payment is 2.5%. You need to pay in person with the card.

It depends on the fees you need to pay on your MasterCard. Without special promotions, all your outstanding and new card transactions will attach a ~20% p.a. interest. However, if you bank offers something like SmartPlan from Westpac which don't charge interest on new purchases but only...

3% credit card charge seems to be too high. I checked the pricing information on Stripe which Tesla used their service to charge my deposit. The fee is just 1.75% + 30 cents for domestic cards (including Amex). (Stripe: Pricing & fees) If the fee is just 1.75%, it is worth paying the delivery...
