I do like your analogy :) But Tesla and the rush-to-beat-end-of-quarter is a familiar, if somewhat annoying thing. Maybe one day they'll get over the need to do it. In the meantime, I wonder if you are going to buy a Tesla, that you should aim to have it delivered during the 2nd month of each...

I went into the Ryde Service NSW (in Macquarie Shopping Centre) to ask about stickers. They had no clue. They said the dealer should have supplied them. Incidentally, I was in there changing my plates over to personalised plates. I asked even if I had stickers on my old plates, what do I do for...

My issues should not have required a respray. The dripping clear coat I assume they just "buffed it out". My other issues were all panel/trim alignment problems. I have not noticed any other paint issues.

I thought I'd update. I dropped off the Model 3 at Exclusive Body Werks in Clyde (Sydney) first thing Monday morning. I'd booked it in about 2 weeks ago. We walked around the car and he stuck masking tape next to each defect as I pointed them out. I asked about some other slight alignment issues...

Porsche beat you to it :)

Ahhh, GoJack is a brand name.

I created a special car account and added it to my Spotify Family subscription. The car then uses that account.

Mine doesn't physically have fog lights, just solid black blanking plates. But it does have the button in the UI to turn them on. Go figure.

Precicely. I was waiting for them to contact me back regarding all this, but after nearly two weeks, I thought I'd give them a prod. When I asked them about this they said it was a new process - who knows.

I called Tesla today to follow up on what was happening with the defects I identified at delivery. I have some trim issues mostly - missfitting chrome trim and rear bumper, bonnet not the same on both sides. They said to search their site for approved body works and arrange it myself. I found a...

Went here last weekend travelling south from Sydney. The roadworks are still ongoing - no right hand turn yet. What I did is travel a little further down the road where there is a left hand turn off the highway. You can do a quick U-turn and then wait there to turn right back onto the highway...

Saw three white 3s at Broadway in Sydney this afternoon. Ok, one of them was mine - but one had white seats.

Got version 10, no FSD, SR+ They have enabled media streaming "temporarily"!! There's a new Spotify and Tune-in icon in the media player (new for me, not sure if full premium interior people already had this). It all works really well. I wonder if this has been done to get me used to it, so that...

Yeah, I have two phones connected. We got Tesla to connect two separate Tesla accounts (you do this via email - 2-3 day turnaround) and I doesn't seem to switch profiles in unlock, it just brings up the last used. Maybe fixed in V10?

I have exactly this issue. I already reported it at delivery time.

Yup, tried this. You can.

My delivery is in 4.5 hours. Thankfully no email saying it's postponed. Maybe I'll buy some brake fluid just in case.

I'm curious to know how supercharging charging works (see what I did). Do you have to give Tesla your credit card details in the app before you can charge?

Plus you can get ABC Radio National. That's not on FM, only on AM and DAB+

Google is my friend. So apparently HW3 writes the sentry mode video files using H265 (aka HEVC) and 2.5 writes using H264 (aka AVC). Though I found some people saying a software update made all HW versions write H264 files. The only way to be sure is to ask Tesla. Also, if you did get HW2.5...

Could you share some details about this. My SR+ has a build date of "07/08/2019" on my invoice. I'm not sure if this is August or July. In any case, what specifically can we check for to determine our hardware version? I really hope I don't have the back end of the 2.5 batch.

I notice the type 2 cable you linked says 16A 32A - does that mean 16A limit on 3 phase and 32A on single? I see they have a "full" 32A cable, 5m for more: Online Shop 32A Three phase EV Cable Type 2 to Type 2 IEC 62196-2 EV Charging Plug With 5 Meter cable TUV/UL Mennekes 2 Connector |...

This is why I'm getting the whole rear glass tinted. I want to get the rear tinted, but I don't want a line across the glass.

I just got my call, 4627XX VIN. Sept 27 Sydney. White SR+. I've updated Random's spreadsheet.

Some of this is American centric, in particular the insurance bit. Tesla cannot register the car without it being insured - it is part of the registration process. So you don't need to bring (indeed, you can't) bring proof of compulsory third party insurance. And they don't care if you have...

Same VIN for me too.

It's a reference to the $420 funding secured tweet from Elon, and a drug reference.

Are you sure? Do you have somewhere in the interface to turn them on and off independently?

Yeah, I think this is good advice. Just pay using the details downloaded from the Tesla site. Though, the risk is small.

I see on the web page source that my birthdate is wrong. But it doesn't show anywhere else unhidden. Should I call to correct? Does it even matter? I have a hidden VIN, but no "The Call'.

Android 10 is out for my Pixel phone. Have to reboot. Haven't received "the call". Forwarding all calls to work phone.

I checked the wifi in my garage. It's underneath my townhouse through a concrete slab - something I was worried about. The 2.4GHz got through but not the 5GHz. I got 45Mbit down, which is about half the speed when in the house. So hopefully it will all be ok.

I think you're the fourth 4627XX vin - like me. And I think they've all been SR+ white, first dayers.

While I've got the indicator thing worked out on the euro cars I drive, I still have to think too long about how to wash the windscreen. If I get it wrong, I end up flashing my high beams at someone. One day I'm going to get some road rager go crazy, when all of wanted to so is wash my windscreen.

While I agree that this may be a problem, I'm not sure if the video shows this. The indicator was on all the time. Though, maybe the driver forgot it was on and tried to reactivate it. Frankly though, the person behind should have been paying attention.

This is the 3rd 4627 VIN today. Another SR+ White.

Just got my VIN 5YJ3F7EA3KF4627XX I think this means I'm on the Brotonne Bridge. SR+ PW first day reserve, first day order And today I said to myself that I wasn't going to keep checking any more.

I don't think you'll see the North American style plugs in Australia.

Unless it's a mistake. Advertising is not a contract.

I rang ANZ. Their solution is to call them and do a telegraphic transfer. I think this goes via RTGS and clears immediately. Using online banking won't work because they can only increase the limit to $25K. It costs $28 - not ideal, but insignificant in the scheme of things.

Lol,I browsing this forum, and at the bottom is an ad "Buy Toyota Hilux Exhaust". Methinks their targetting is not quite up to scratch.

Seems to be a spate of Midnight Silver. What about some SR+ White. The thing is, I chose white before it was free. Does that count? I'm also a double first day reservation and order. No call, no vin.

OMG!!! I had no times checked!!! Is this why I've received no calls!! Much sad!

One of these marcone/teslausb

I've made one of these. The idea is that whenever it is in range of your wi-fi, it will upload and video to your network.

I can see the pilot vessel PV Sinclair going to meet Cap Capricorn on the marine traffic site. I really should get more work done....

Got it. It's hiding in the source. And it's a day off because of the timezone thing. Oh well. And no VIN.

Hmmmm... I just have a "Next Steps" and "Completed Tasks" tab. The Overview link shows 2 out of 4 steps completed, Payment is the next step. The completed Tasks tab shows my address and that's it.

So when I log in, I don't see my birth date anywhere. I'm in NSW and paying cash. I can't retrieve/view everything I entered such as licensed details etc. So I'm wondering where people see the birthdate they entered.
