Well today was meant to be the day, but I got a call yesterday saying the car was ready so I picked it up last night instead. It had come in on a truck that morning. I placed the order and 28/3 so a 10 week wait all up. Pretty good considering people are waiting 12 months plus for Toyotas at the...

Delivery text just came through. I'm picking up on June 7. Ordered 28/3 Build 21/4 RAV 10/5

Interestingly, my VIN was entered into RAV on May 10, so the car is in the country somewhere. Maybe it's stuck on the docks in Melbourne waiting for a car carrier.

Yeah mine blew out last night too. Jun 6 - 27

EDDs come forward again. Now May 17 - June 5.

Mine just came forward by a day to match this. Received the 'delivery approaching' text about half an hour ago.

My EDD tonight changed from TBD to May 21 - June 11. My guess is it's on Turandot which just docked in Melbourne and is being trucked across to Adelaide.

What was your build date if you don't mind me asking?

Here's a summary of communications I've received so far for my 3LR order: March 28: Order placed. EDD Apr-May. April 4: 3k Price drop. Received updated order agreement. April 25: Hidden VIN. EDD changed to TBD. April 26: 'Vehicle Assigned' text & email. April 26: 'Final Invoice Available' text...

Received this email from Tesla this morning regarding port delays:

Yes, I have the same build date. My spec is LR/Black/White/18". Interested to see what hardware we get. Fairly sure we won't get a UMC, but will we get the boombox or USS?

EDD changed to TBD and I have a hidden VIN. Chrome extension picked it up. Order date 28 March.

Do Adelaide deliveries still come through Melbourne or do we get our own ship now?

I placed an order 3 weeks ago. EDD was Apr-May then as well. No news since, other than an updated order agreement with price reduction from a couple of weeks ago. I did see a couple of my exact spec pop up in interstate inventory. I'm hoping that means they made a batch of my spec and are...

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised. Not at this stage. I was told they don't allow it because it's too hard to meter. They will only reimburse for public charging where you're issued a receipt. Interestingly, a few days after they told me that, the ATO released draft guidelines for claiming a...

Yeah fair enough I probably got a bit carried away when the NL company said I could package it as a running expense. I'd hardly notice the cost over the course of a multi-year lease. I'm planning to use ChargeHQ anyway so this one probably makes more sense. Thanks for the tip.

Does anyone use Amber Energy (or similar) wholesale pricing to reduce (or reverse) their charging costs? Daytime wholesale prices are often negative all summer long here in SA so I'm hoping to get paid to charge the car. It's another reason to go for the 3-phase charger to make the most of...

Now that the UMC is no longer supplied for free, I've had to put some more thought into my charging solution for a pending delivery. I was thinking of grabbing this kit: KWIK Portable Type 2 Charger | w/ Adaptable Tails | 16.5 kW - EVSE Australia + Type 2 EV Cable | 2 Year Warranty | EVSE |...

If I'm not mistaken, they've just dropped the prices by 4-5k across the range.

My exact order just popped up in interstate inventory. Should I read anything into that?

Thanks for the replies everyone. Yeah I understand the benefits for EV charging are marginal. but the actual cable coming in from the pole on the street is 6mm2. It's probably only good for 7-8kW total so it needs replacing regardless. What's more, the old cable cuts across the corner of my...

Thanks for the detailed reply RichardV. Thanks. I wasn't aware the 3-phase meter did this. Good to know. Need to upgrade the consumer mains anyway as it's a piddly little 6mm2 cable and I want to disconnect gas and electrify the entire house eventually. Figure I might as well bring in 3-phase...

Hi folks. Recently pulled the trigger on a model 3 and trying to sort out my home charging situation as I believe they no longer come with a mobile connector. I have an existing solar+battery (PW2) setup currently running on 1-phase. I'm looking to upgrade my house to a 3-phase mains...

Fair enough. The 'let it learn for two weeks' thing is what a Tesla support guy told me when I tried to explain this issue to him over the phone. Not really a rabbit hole I wanted to go down but might be my only option. I just wish there was some sort of 'expert' mode in the app, so you could...

Yeah it sucks but they had to do it. So many people are getting solar in my state, they were losing control of the grid. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a try. Problem is because it tries to 'learn', you really have to leave it with the same configuration for 2 weeks or so to see if it's...

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the inverter is doing exactly what it's programmed to do and I can't change it. It's set in the factory to limit all grid exports to 5kW (As mandated by the local utility). I'm hoping to time-shift the powerwall charging to the middle of the day so I can...

Hi Folks, New poster here. I was hoping someone might be able to help me with my Powerwall conundrum. It arises because of the 5kW grid export limit imposed by the utility in my area. The current behavior of the Powerwall is to begin charging in the morning as soon as solar generation > home...
