I'm currently teaching my son to drive (L Plates) in my M3P+ (on chill mode), and also in grandmas 14 year old Hyundai. Obviously very different cars, so he gets to experience both. Which would I rather have him learn in? A modern car loaded with safety features, warning systems, fully...

Teaching my son to drive. I've now got my son hooked on Tesla. He's on L Plates at present and has been learning in "Grandma's old bomb" a 14 y.o. Hyundai until he could demonstrate due care and attention and appropriate steering and braking etc., and represent a reduced crash risk. (also...

Ladies, Gentlemen, and those of you still deciding: Kitkat has arrived at last, and OMG do I love it. It's just an amazing car. For those of you still waiting, its hard to describe how amazing it is to drive one. So flaming quick and so smooth. It really is as smooth as butter, and as...

I just received an email from Tesla this morning: "I can also confirm that your Model 3 will be the final Tesla delivery in Australia for 2019!! We are glad you can welcome in the New Year with a step towards a sustainable future, and are so happy to hear that you are as excited as...

I'm wondering quite idly (if you call a pulse rate of about 6,000,000 bpm "idle") whether I will survive till tomorrow to collect my Tesla P3+ now that Tesla has actually confirmed delivery at 3pm WST, or if I shall quietly expire from excitement and emotional overload first? Not that I am...

Hi EcoCloud - what is the interior protection you had done to protect the seats. I know the exterior is ceramic, but seats? ScotchGuard, or something even better? My P3D+ is also Blue // White interior like yours, and its getting delivered this Tuesday 31st Dec. To say that I am excited...

Yes, I'm with you there!! Flaming rude of him to have his shiny new M3 Performance in Blue with white interior (same as mine and I am STILL WAITING!!!) and he hasn't even had the time to update us on what it's like - even though he has now had it for over three hours. I mean, what is he doing...

Invoice received! First time in my life I am EXCITED to receive an invoice for so much money!!! (refer: Wailing wall for Australian Model 3 team VINLess! )

My time to exit the wailing wall crowd grows ever nearer... In the last two weeks I have a) received a hidden VIN b) received a follow up call from Tesla (ever so helpful - seriously!) c) Had all my minor issues and changes pre-delivery dealt with speedily (very grateful to Jethro Dean and...

After more than two years of waiting my car is getting closer and with just weeks to go before delivery my girlfriend of several years last night gave me a serious challenge: ( I think she is sick of me talking about, obsessing about, and tracking tesla's) The Challenge: Can I go for one...

VIN found Monday EMAIL received Tuesday PHONE CALL RECEIVED TODAY -------------- My god this is getting exciting. Delivery JANUARY Despite all the delays and frustration in the waiting game, I must admit the level of service, information and professionalism in their phone call is truly...

Curious: VEDAPrime's VINTracker/Ship spreadsheet shows VIN Series '5875xx on either Synergy Keelung (currently docked Auckland, then Sydney) or on ANL Tongala (somewhere in the Pacific ocean en route to Auckland then Sydney): But AUS/NZ Tesla VIN spreadsheet for owners shows my VIN 5875xx...

Holy Toledo Batman, :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: I have a VIN !!! Reservation way back in 2017, Ordered P+ on day 1 when WHITE interior became available,. Now I am seriously waiting for my beautiful blue baby to arrive in Perth!!! Perhaps a Christmas present for me??? (but no actual...

:eek::eek::eek: :( I logged on to Tesla and thought why not, Put in a res'vation and see whats hot, That was back in '17 or so, and two years later, now I know, My orders in, it aint worth a damn, I'm still one of dem "waiting man" Now it's bin a while since me order's in...

FSD LCT and Price rises for FSD Question: Given the announced price rise for FSD coming 1 November, for those of us who dont yet have a car so still have to think about this - is it cheaper to get the FSD with the car and pay Luxury Car Tax (eg in my order now, fixed, before 1 Nov price...

A few recent comments about speed made me think: I used to think QUICK was 0 - 100kph in 6 seconds. Then Tesla 3P+ reset that to 3.4 seconds. Now I have to reset my expectations to realise that to TESLA, QUICK really means about 42 Mb per second..... Broadband of course! Quicker...

Same Same Same Same ............... Sigh! (Cept'n its a Blue baby with white....)

10,001 ---- posts!!!! 501 pages Awesome!

Checked moments ago - still no VIN. waiting,,,,,waiting,,,,,waiting,,,,, No delivery date........., Maybe I should just buy that Roadster? Perhaps waiting will make the final delivery all that much sweeter?? When it does get here, I'm going to ask all the Perth 3 owners to get together for a...

Excellent new! - Thanks to both Techno-Phile and TH232 for your responses re Perth Tesla service and how to get delivery issues rectified. I know both those service places (McCathy Prestige for Panel & Paint and 44 Government Road, Nedlands) as luckily for me they are very close to my home, and...

I'm drooling with jealousy that you have yours -- and I don't have mine!!! How do you get the minor issues fixed? What is the process Tesla recommend for Perth people (no Tesla store here)?

Hi BS: Just following through as I want to make a chart of the stretch: What would the $$ stretch be for you? say, compared to the WRX or your next choice of car today if not Tesla/EV? (I'm not sure which Tesla model you are getting so ant find the stretch from the WRX). Tthanks

HOW MUCH IS THE AUSSIE / KIWI TESLA STRETCH? Just a random thought (while I wait endlessly for my new Blue P3+, FSD, with White interior. Still waiting on a VIN :( ) I read in USA forums and news articles about the "Tesla Stretch". How people were going US$20-$30k beyond their...

YES - :(

Text ? Text? Some of you got Text's from Tesla??? Immediately checked my phone, got all excited THERE's A TEXT.. .... FROM TELSTRA ............... Bugger! - why do Tesla and Telstra look the same to me on the text message app. Damn it. No text from Tesla,

Yes - ordered Blue P3+ with white interior, FSD, no word from Tesla as yet. Waiting very (im)patiently!

Yes - two people so far have said they have VIN's and white interior :( sadly that does not include me, or, I suspect, you!) :(( On the delivery spreadsheet it shows 5 people with white interior as having a VIN , and one of them says they have been contacted by Tesla delivery specialist...

Hi Fumiphobic - We both ordered in July probably as soon as White interior opened (or no more than a few days since). Let's hope there is a shipment of white interior to Perth sometime this year! Having said that, there isn't really a lot of demand for white yet. Only 11 out of 219 I noted at...

My order was mid July (Blue P3+) as soon as White interior was made available as i had held off till then hoping for white, but a couple of weeks later I added FSD and this changed my order date to early August. Just have to wait (impatiently) till white interiors get to Perth I guess. In the...

Hi Meowsers - You have white interior and a VIN?? You lucky beggar!!!! I have reluctantly resigned myself to the thought that there is no chance for a September delivery date for my Blue 3P+ with white interior to Perth. Now working on the expectation (blind faith??) that it might be October...

Got all excited when I saw I had an email from Tesla. Opened it, and got all disappointed when I realised it was from Telstra ! Rats!!!! The wait continues....................

Just out of interest: based on the data in the Order spreadsheet containing details on 219 Model 3s for Aust/NZ so far: SR+ is the most popular (and most affordable of course) at 44% of orders in the sample. A pretty even spread of colours..... That will look good on Tesla club...

Waiting for a WHITE INTERIOR: So, I have (like most of us) been chewing my arm off waiting for a call from Tesla, getting RSI checking my phone every 3 minutes, and basically behaving like your every day average completely obsessed Tesla Reservation holder waiting for our Precious Performance...

Does anyone else have RSI from picking up the phone every 27.28 seconds to check if we missed a call from Tesla (just in case it happened in that brief interval when we blinked and may have not noticed/heard or felt the phone call despite it being on maximum ring volume) ????? (RSI: Repetitive...
