    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    When I picked up the car it was on 87% charge. It was certainly quick, but the AB has taken it to another level again from a standstill. I’ll be keeping it. Not sure about a roll-on as I didn’t try that before buying the AB.

    Picked up my red LR today in Canberra. After my drive home I purchased the acceleration boost. Oh my goodness... I love the car. It's been a long 8 months and 2 days, but it's worth it in the end. It's going to take a while to get used to where all the controls and options are in the menus. It...

    Ditto for me. The app says collection at the showroom, 114 Bunda St, but the showroom is only small. I know they have a section of the parking lot across the street. Maybe they bring the cars across as required? But they'd have to do them one at a time which seems a bit silly unlike the other...

    So your car must have been on the Viking Passama which unloaded on Monday 8/8. That’s pretty good, only 8 days between arrival in country and pickup, and it had to be trucked to Brisbane. That gives me hope I’ll get my SMS very soon.

    Your EDD might suggest you didn't make the Viking Passama and are on the Morning Crystal instead. My EDD (Cbr) is 13-27/8 so I should be on the VP.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    None of the Tesla finance companies keep the rate after 180 days. I ordered my LR in Dec and was approved at 2.99% with Macquarie. My car is coming in August too and I resigned at 4.99% as the 180- days expired in late June.

    If you don't mind me asking, what were you charged for the (I'm assuming) 5-pin 32a 3-phase socket? I'm getting quotes at the moment for a back-to-back install of around $850.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    The good thing about Macquarie (unsure if the others are the same), when my rate recently changed from 2.99 to 4.99%, the rep rang me and asked for my most recent payslip. He then quickly went through what I'd filled out in the previous application, asking if anything had changed. Nothing had, I...

    My EDD overnight has moved from 24/08-03/09 to 13/08-27/08 (Canberra). The earlier the better. I sold my car in Jan expecting my LR in Feb 😆(original 8-12 weeks from Dec order).

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    No where near that much. My loan with Macquarie increased $14 a week ($60 month) with the jump from 2.99 to 4.99%. If the interest rate rise is causing anyone to rethink their purchase, then they probably shouldn't have been buying in the first place.

    One is a "regular" quote which includes FBT, the other is with FBT exempt if the legislation passes.

    Here's hoping I wake to a VIN in the morning (LR 17/12 red/black).

    If it were so easy they would be stolen all the time. It simply isn’t happening.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Frustrating that some late Feb LR orders are getting VINs before Dec LR orders. Whilst it hopefully means I’ll get mine soon there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the VIN issuance which makes it all the more annoying.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Ha ha. I have a colleague at work who ordered a Polestar and nothing but issues with the order and delivery process. She switched from a Tesla order to Polestar because she was told a car in the spec she wanted was available now. Long story short, they stufferd her around massively and it took 3...

    Ordered 17/12/21 red/black LR. Back to refreshing the app regularly to check. The suspense is killing me.

    You can check online now. Go to smartleasing.com.au (or any other provider), and do a quote. Then redo the quote and choose ‘charity’ as the business type as they don’t pay FBT. It reduces the payments significantly. Eg a quick quote was $789 normally a month reduced to $540 with no FBT.

    Same, app just updated to Aug-Oct. Red/black LR ordered 17/12. Original ETA when ordered was 8-12 weeks :( If it comes in Aug that will be 8 months, Oct 10 months.

    On the Plenti website the rate is higher, but if you organise through Tesla you'll get the 2.99% rate same as Macquarie.

    Some yes, but the majority like us are waiting. Expect the car in May as next production for Australia starts 1 April.

    Yes, but my point is take with a grain of salt what your SA tells you... Anything could happen.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Don't get too excited. There are plenty of LR/P orders from Nov/Dec that ordered at 8-12 weeks, the date then shifted to 14-20 weeks, and now it looks like our cars won't arrive until May (5-6 months). I was told I'd be getting my car in March by my SA.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Interestingly my app just updated now to say 8-12 weeks from 14-20 weeks (LR red/black ordered 17/12). Not sure what this means if anything as I'm expecting a Q2 delivery, but this date puts from now to mid March.

    Yes, 14-20.

    LR with NRMA $850 year or $1,100 for unlimited hire car, no excess window claims etc. I have other policies with them so discounted because of that.

    And now the app says "Est. Delivery: 14-20 weeks". This only appeared this morning. Sigh.

    Just had a call from my delivery specialist (Canberra - M3 LR ordered 17/12) that they are sending the rego paperwork and my car is expected Feb/Mar.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yeah, but I don't mind if mine doesn't turn up until March or so. Although now it's ordered I might start to get impatient.
