    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Curious where this is specified? (For AU particularly) Telsa's own page says 3D5 is 180kw @6k - 326nm 3D7 is 194kw @5.4k - 340nm That's not necessarily a negligible difference.. especially if we're down from the rated 208. Power ratings are a function of how much torque is produced at a...

    https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6335384/ So far this is all I can find.. If it's accurate I'm pretty gutted.. I know its just a RWD, but I didn't expect an even further downgrade :( I'm sure I'll get over it by delivery lol..

    I've found earlier posts indicating it's 3D5 from RedSky1 on this thread. Granted that's one source, but knowing my luck it'll be right 😭

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Anybody know why Tesla seeming have gone back to the 3D5 motor? Just looking at my Vin LRW3F7FRxxxxxxxxx and I'm perplexed why the 8th digit isn't a "S".. My understanding was that they all went to the newer hairpin motor as of 22? It better bloody still be able to hit the advertised...

    Random question, but do we know ballpark how long it takes to receive the invoice after a VIN has been issued?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I've basically resided myself to next allocation now.. 22/01/22 RWD with no VIN as yet. I cant see how some units were allocated prior to loading the ship, but then others will happen on the way across? Love to be wrong, but I'm not getting any hopes up.

    Congratulations, but also damn you 😂 Ordered 22/01/22 RWD White/Black 18's and I've got squat.. I hope they did a decent batch for Australia and now it's just a matter of assigning them (Evidently not in order of purchase lol)

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Time for some good old wild speculation! So 15/01-18/01 orders for RWD Mostly got vins on the 28/06-30/06 Next batch seemingly started roughly a week later with an order placed 20/01 and if we follow assume the same number of orders placed, this batch might clear out orders upto 23/01...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I reached out to my SA, she's said they're doing the rounds currently. I specifically asked about is it some vehicles or a blanket "No ships to AU" Response seemed like a macro "We anticipate production to return to full scale soon with our market receive vehicles in the second half of 2022."...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    What's curious is why some of us haven't received a call or email as yet? I'm doubtful it's a case of no news is good news, more that the SA haven't had time or potentially just haven't bothered. Maybe there's a trend with some specific parts? Mines just a RWD, White, black, 18, No FSD...

    There's one particular YouTuber I've gone right off now, won't even click his videos. Can't remember his name, but he's always got a mic in his shot.

    Ordered my 3R exactly on the 22nd January lol, it's on that Google sheets tracker. No VIN, no coms from sales or finance about the ETA. So where do we land percentage chance wise that this is our ship?

    I had to extend my approval with them, but they were only concerned with checking that our circumstances hadn't changed.

    Meaning more than likely it'll be on the Turandot to hit that range :) Possibly the Clara, but that'd be pushing well into June factoring in offloading / PD etc.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My 14-20 weeks puts me between April 30 - June 11th. (22/01/22 order) Looking at the shipping times.. They'd have to be on the Don Juan leaving this weekend, or the Turandot to make that delivery window, based on the ETA to Melbourne, and the assumption of 2 weeks offload, transfer, processing...

    Tesla no longer including mobile charger bundle?

    Same boat, will hassle them if required. It's a BS cost cutting decision.
  32. D

    Tesla has officially removed the mobile connector as a standard accessory with every new car purchase; now a $400 separate purchase

    Perhaps they should remove reverse drive given usage is low relative to forward drive? How about the seatbelts given we don't 'need' them 99.999% of drives. I'd suggest everyone that doesn't have a Twitter get one and reply.. Seems to listen to Twitter feedback at times.

    If mine doesn't come with the kit, I'll going up the tree as required..I may not get anywhere, but I'm gonna make it a PITA for them. It was included at the time of purchase, then I'm fully expecting them to include it. What a BS excuse.. Might as well not include a reverse drive because we...

    Something is better than nothing :) I'm sure they'll scale up as fast as possible once they know the suppliers can provide the materials they need, and figure out any logistical changes.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    The one positive of our insignificance is there's a decent chance they could knock our whole production over before the shipping deadline. I also vaguely recall reading that if production falls short, they'll come from domestic production quotas.

    Same, 14-20 as of Jan 22nd.

    It would make sense given the shipping schedule; it'll have to happen soon. Curious where you got that impression from though? My rep told me last week that our M3R still expected in my initial delivery window at this stage :)

    Fuel excise reduction / ZLEV road-user charge

    Apologies for the soap box in advance. I wish they weren't doing that.. it's kinda our carbon tax (i've got petrol cars too, so this isn't a EV vs ICE point) It's crazy there's a tax at all for EV's, we should be incentivising the change, not slowing it.. Luxury car taxes that protect a...

    Delivered with Rust on brake rotors

    Normal mate, most steel has some % content of iron and will develop surface rust.. Wash a brand new AMG and you'll be surprised how much rust forms in a short period.. Wouldn't advise giving anybody at Tesla the "consumer Law" speech, you'll just look silly. If you want to avoid it for...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Can confirm, did carsales instant offer too and even the estimated range was >3k higher than tesla (Here in Victoria at least) My experience with instant offer was fantastic, excellent communication, easy process, higher valuation.. Was an awesome process that let me avoid tyre kickers.
