Yep, just got it. If I'm reading things correctly we will save $4k.

Nice. I wish I had an earlier option!

I just received the delivery SMS for Chatswood - scheduled for the 22nd of July. MY LR from Grand Eagle.

You're likely right. I pinged my SA about the date range and they replied "Not too far off now!". 🤣

My Model Y LR delivery from Grand Eagle has moved to July 21 - August 11.

In good news this is nothing like the wait for the original Model S back in 2012/13/14.

Same here. The waiting game continues. Amusingly we've had the insurance running agains the car for 2 weeks now - it's time to get that paused until delivery.

Will do!

This will be our 15th Tesla (every other one has been an S or X) - lack of customer service is a feature not a bug. 🤣

Still waiting here for a Model Y LR from Grand Eagle. I'm hoping it falls into FY24 as it will save us $80 of LCT.

I just received the delivery approaching text message as well. Model Y LR going to Sydney.

Thanks for the replies. So it sounds like then that my issue is unique - I wonder if it has something to do with being an early RHD car. I definitely wouldn't say the slopes I've been on have been severe at all (maybe 10 degrees at most) so it's quite unusual that it is refusing to open. It's...

We just took delivery of our Model X last week and we immediately noticed an issue with the front doors. If the car is tilted at all, from left-to-right or vice versa, then the higher door is unable to open itself and the lower door is unable to close itself. As an example, if I'm pulled up the...

Ok NSW, we need 25! Shouldn't be hard as there are around 300 here.

We will be there and we need to make sure there are more than 22 cars so we beat QLD!

mhh, you should be fine. Just set your cruise to 90km/h and cool the cabin to around 21C. The aircon is very efficient and the higher temperatures will lower wind resistance so I'm confident you can make it (I've done it easily).

My wife is the owner so I'm obviously biased but... $150 an hour is quite cheap in Australia for a luxury chauffeur service.

Emails have been sporadically sent out (I haven't received one) but there appears to be a Sydney to Melbourne rally happening on the 26th.

I did the trip from Melbourne to Adelaide and back via Raidis Estate over the weekend. The owners of Raidis are really lovely and there are a decent number of eateries in town, which is about a 20min walk. Blog post will be coming this weekend.

I guess so. Charging worked as advertised and honestly it was a lot of fun (especially as I left Sydney at 5am).

We've already done it, it's a piece of cake.

Correct, it is a different car. The record breaker was LHD and the one for sale is RHD.

All good, Pia doesn't mind that her name was mentioned. Thanks for the review Matta!

I've done it, it's not that bad at all (there's some downhill to assist).

I really like the look of the Renault Zoe as a second car. Does anyone else agree?

I've found the car's energy planning to be very accurate. EVTP appears to have an issue with hills in that it overestimates how much you'll use going up and underestimates how much you'll get coming down.

Can confirm that it was filmed at the GOR as Tesla had to borrow some of my equipment for the shoot. :smile:

My wife now owns 2 Model S and all the "issues" that you are complaining about are not issues in the slightest: Door Handles - DOA handles are still an issue (as are DOA issues for many different components of many cars) but it's very rare for a handle to stop functioning months after arrival...

That's a shy over 100kW so perhaps it can draw that much when the showroom is completely closed. However, it should be able to pull 120kW at that state of charge, so I assume upgrades are not complete.

Those figures are still nominal though... Do you think something has been changed?

What do you mean they've done something?

Powershop here as well.

Photos of the Supercharger stands have been posted to the WhatsApp group so they are definitely going in there!

It was fun. :)

My reply to this thread seems to have vanished. My wife and I will be there.

That's multicoat red.

I will be there. Possibly my wife as well.

I'm picking up 4 friends and their respective luggage from the airport and I was wondering if anyone has managed to fit 4 full size suitcases in the trunk? In theory it's possible, I'm just hoping someone has done it.

That's strange. The Star should charge at 120kW max whilst St Leonard's is limited to 90kW max.

I think they will easily do 3 a day here. At Sydney they seem to be delivering 2-3 a day at the moment and they are always booked full for test drives.

That's how they are from the factory (it's weird and I don't understand their decision making there).

My neck hurts now...

Are you counting deliveries as sales? If so, the Australian sales are too high. 30 cars were delivered at most, possibly less.

Meloccom, you were spotted by one of my friends today. I saw a white one in Manly on Friday, anyone know who that is? I also spotted a green one sitting next to our car last night:

I thought that worked a few times but yesterday it failed to work so I'm quite confused...

Same here. What's the point in driving the future if it acts like the past?

It depends on the angle. Shallow angles may not trigger it whilst steeper angles will.

EVTripplanner actually gets this trip very wrong. From my experience you use around 135km on the way up and around 20-30km on the way back. I believe it very conservative when it comes to downhill regen.

You should be perfectly fine on that route, I wouldn't worry about it in the slightest.
