I built an exact scale Cybertruck that fits a Subaru Outback so you can drive it around. Got it finished the day all this lockdown/Covid stuff started nearly 2 years ago, then it started raining (its made of cardboard from bike boxes the local cycle shop chucks out), then I lost interest...

It won't do any public roads and it only summons 12.5m away so I'm guessing that is the reason for a unique firmware for Oz as the US definitely seems to have a far higher range that what we are getting.

Hi there Electro664, Just wondering when you "ordered", as in configured the car to what was available on the website, and paid a 'deposit' and agreed to the wheels, "i.e. silver', was what you thought you were getting. Tesla have now changed what you wanted while you wait for delivery. Tesla...

Thought I would close the loop as promised from my previous post #9225 on Sep 17, 2019 showing a few cosmetic defects on delivery for one of the first Perth deliveries that a few people thought were completely unacceptable and I shouldn't accept the car etc etc. Scheduled service with the app...

Bugger, that seems way better solution than buying Gen 1 UMC...should have got the sparky to stick a 3P socket/plug in the line...

Always happy to test at your place TP!

TP grabbed my M3 and tested with Gen 1 UMC 3 phase today. Worked as expected drawing 12KW (67Km/hr) Seems like the way to go for remote cruising in Oz. I considered purchasing but at $690 US for the cheapest setup I could find you would want to be using it a lot to justify.

Pretty sure Dashcam footage time stamp is UTC but file name is local date and time. That way Tesla can see/track worldwide events as they happen and user can search their files in local time zone.

Techno-phile, I assume you are referring to the test we did today. Confirming M3 drew 40amps now worries on the S85 single phase 40amp charger. However since your supply voltage dropped to 227V I think your supply lines from street to house are undersized.

yes, confirm remote window crack works remotely. Also confirm that Summon still sucks. Caroke + Netflix and Youtube on 4K screen with great sound are awesome though and really appreciated by taxi wife.

Techno-phile, I think your numbers might be on the low side. I know at least one old guy near to me who has ordered with delivery scheduled for next month (Oct). He has no interest in forums, social media, groups of any sort etc, just happy to let the car arrive. He says his wife is sooooooo...

Car just updated to V10 30 mins ago. I have FSD. It was hard to get teenage daughter out of car before, now it is school holidays with Caroke it is impossible!

Would be really interested in feedback on your Albany trip goes as considering doing same. I know there's the fast charger at Arthur river but was hoping to be able to do the trip on one charge. Based on experience so far, car appears to be capable of it. Would be great if could do it...

well, theres perfect logic to them but seems no one reads the rule book. Even the driving examiners here don't know the rules as written so what hope is there? Had massive arguments with these examiners who failed my practical test (twice) when going for my truck license because I was driving...

Ditto what kieranu says but also self steers, traffic aware cruise control with selectable time following and does so out of the box in rain and weird light. Plus all the safety stuff I'm too chicken to test directly. Tested this with odo reading about 80km and was rock solid.....just don't...

I rechecked and turns out you're right. Especially in summer or if charging the car more as long as don't go overboard with the cook'n. Called Synergy before they did the meter re program and went to Smarthome. thanks for that.

I used Gorey Electrical Service 9459 6222 who I've used for years. Note, it might have been cheaper if I didn't have get get more space on my board by replacing the separate 2 slot RCD + 1 slot MCB's with combined one slot RCD/MCB's. It was a single phase instal, they did mention 3 phase...

ok, great to know. thanks

Had the car a week now and its just great. Despite driving with a very heavy foot at all times, doing pre climate conditioning and AC or heated seats always on, range at 80% charge is always above 400km which seems consistent with claimed. Been charging on the 15Amp socket which is more than...

Had our M3P+ a week now and was going to report flawless week. However, last night better half was doing the kids taxi run stuff when at stopped at the lights she selected Spotify and played 'Greatest Showman'. Car (speakers) instantly emitted full volume screeching, then screen went blank...

Hi Random206, sorry to hear about the delay. Not sure if it makes you feel any better but your car might be like one I spotted at the service centre yesterday. On the suggestion of a long time Tesla owner and being close by at the time, I visited the service centre (Perth) just to say hi. He...

I don't know about anyone else but although autopilot drives the car dead centre of the road/lines (I think), it feels like it is uncomfortably too far to the left. Maybe it is set for Left hand drive and drives closer to that side?? Would be nice to have a trim setting to pull the car to one...

Played with the rear AC vents, on manual they seem to track whatever the front is set to. i.e. driver side hot, rear right is hot, passenger cold, rear left cold. On auto, no idea what the back is doing. For the rear sets, just got to hold the button while you get out, different to the front...

Hi DavidRL, yes, the delivery lady definitely confirmed for Perth we log any issues with the car with the service department. For the record though, I listed the defects in an email to delivery with my discussion I had with them about the auto garage opener (confirmed retrofit at no cost when...

Good to know m3y3addict, I don't see any arrows on my roof which is why I was concerned

Has anyone worked out the secret for the rear AC? So far for us, everyone's been fighting for the front seat to play but today the car took on its main roll as taxi service and had passengers in the back for longer duration. No matter what we push, the rear AC blows warm...The manual is no real...

DavidRL, We (Perth) have a service centre at Nedlands. The address according to Tesla is 44 Government Road, Perth, Nedlands, WA 6009 You just log your issue via the app 24/7 and you get an automated assigned date and time. I did it a few days ago for the defects I referenced in my video and...

Good one m3y3addict, congrats and ya, was same delivery lady for me..I was her second delivery and I think I gave her a hard time, she's probably learning fast! All these little defects go away with that accelerator pedal.

Me again, the one with all the defects. Found another more potentially major problem. I noticed the rear roof glass is not centred but pushed all the way to one side. No real drama unless, like me you want to instal a roof rack. From what I understand of the model 3 roof rack hooks onto...

For Perth folks that have already received their cars or are waiting, considering purchasing, or just interested and want to check them out in the flesh, I will bring my blue P+ one to Cars & Coffee, this Sunday at UWA. I'll rock up around 9am. According to Techno-phile there should also be a...

Just met with Techno-phile at the Booragoon charger. Seems like the other Booragoon M3 is also blue which was delivered yesterday. Will try and meet this other blue owner same place tomorrow. Thanks Techno-phile for spending the time to go through the charging with me, there and at the...

I think we are really a too small a market to justify the resources for pre inspection in Oz. At least as WA is concerned that is. From Tesla point of view I think their plan is to just to deal with any issues as they come up until they get to any volume. For the 38 cars so far in Perth it...

Flying reindeer, I can't check my source for exact details anymore (can't remember the trick either) as account page has changed to delivered status and just lists warranty and basic stuff now. However, prior to delivery I had previously emailed Tesla to check whether they received payment as I...

While I was doing demo drives around Mosman park today, I saw the same delivery truck that delivered mine with two model 3's on (pretty sure a blue and a grey but only saw it for a second, my neighbour also saw a delivery truck in the same area approx the same time and thinks it was a blue and a...

Hi Roddy54, I don't think I had much of a choice to take the car or not, a third party transport guy turned up, drove it off the truck, handed me the key cards, made me sign his delivery doc and drove off. It all took less than 5 min. In that time I had a quick look at the car and didn't...

When they call, or email you (which is seems to be just 2 business days before) they will tell you exactly the 'local' time for delivery. My delivery was with WestOz and they were really professional and communicative and hit their 1hr delivery window on the money. Their delivery guy was...

surf, I just posted a video showing the defects at the end. If need more detail, I'll post better photos. They are minor but after forking out this much coin it could be better but I'm sure it will all be sorted. I'm more interested in the internals which are rock solid...well, mind blowing...

Did a quick video of the delivery process for Perth. Extremely quick. Under 5 min. You can guess the name I want to call the car if you see the video. However living in a house with 3 women I doubt I'll get away with it. Photos of the small defects at the end of the video. Delivery lady...

Delivery here in Perth was scheduled for today at 2pm (4pm on the account). Got the call from the car transport at about 11am saying car would be delivered between 12:30-1:30. Car was delivered at 1:15pm. Took less that 5 minutes to offload from the flat bed. A few minor defects like a...

ya, mine too. Account page states delivery 4pm today but all delivery phone call and emails state scheduled for 2pm. Was originally thinking this was just the account page, since very little has actually happened there but hadn't though of the time difference since the deliveries are...

Good one Meowers, I lashed out and spent the $2. VIN was registered, checked DOTWA and sure enough vehicle was registered in my name. I only signed rego papers late last thursday so Tesla only had 1 business day to sort it. Since I received no delay call last week do I dare hope it may...

Had another reason to pass by Autonexus again to see if anything obvious to see for these delays. Low and behold, two truck loads carrying another 19? model 3's just offloading (at least one vehicle was a toyota and each truck carried 10 cars...I think?). Got a few photos and started...

In addition to what 1st in line says, many of the larger international companies require reverse parking as a condition of employment. I worked for 20 years in one with 80,000 odd employees and despite working with radioactive sources, explosives and really nasty chemicals and lots of high...

Bugger, now I'm hoping I don't get a call...feeling for you.....You would think they would give you an option of just turning up at Autonexus, signing for it and driving off since they don't have a Tesla rep doing any handover. Save them the hassle of loading/unloading onto a flatbed. We all...

thanks for the offer, Techno-phile but managed to sort it out...nothing under my control gonna delay this...turned out it was just a cheap toner cartridge on ebay (new) that was faulty..bought a 'proper' outrageously expensive one that got it working. Blue M3P+, I'm in Booragoon so close by...

after received the confirmed delivery date and time, received the rego papers to sign an hour later. Of course needs to be printed and scanned in colour and my printer decided that today was the day it decided to die....

after the missed phone call, got the email...delivery confirmed 2pm, 17th! Rego papers will be in the glove box. No Tesla rep present at delivery

arg! Can you believe it. Got the delivery call 5 minutes ago...but the wife didn't pick up as she didn't recognise the number. They will call back supposedly...3 1/2 years of waiting and miss 'the call' Put the car in her name as appeasement for getting the roadster one day.

ok Andygen21, thanks...Hopefully the rego papers arrive a few days before scheduled delivery of 17th else I'll start bugging them. My VIN appeared on my account page today under the order number...its not much, but some sort of indication of progress. T-6 days and counting.

Good to know, have you received the rego papers or are you just checking DOTWA for something to do? Surely you gotta get the papers before it shows up on the website?? You made me check though ......nothing.
