    Tesla Model Y front engine dead after 3 weeks

    No it won’t. They’re replacing your front drive. You’re not getting another vehicle. What’s the problem?

    Overseas Model 3 unable to Navigate [car moved outside of country purchased]

    Navigation is never going to work out of the purchase market. Liability regulatory reasons.

    You realise that California bans lead based hardeners in paint? That’s why no one else makes cars there. The paint is renown for being too soft and chip prone.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My Fremont made Model S I bought in 2014 had the worst paint I've experienced on a car. It was very soft and the stone chips were incredible. Given that China doesn't have qualms about lead hardeners in paint, Shanghai cars may be better, but I wouldn't be without PFF on my Model 3 when it comes.

    My car is probably on that ship. I had a delivery date of 26th Aug - 9th Sept. I doubt they’ll make the 9th.

    2018 Model S - limited warranty showing as expired

    I had an extended warranty on my Model S in Hong Kong. It is a limited warranty and it may not cover the light. I kept the email that confirmed my purchase of the extended warranty.

    It’s not going to make funny noises. And the ”breaks“ will work. Tesla does check the car before they deliver it.

    I can’t imagine they will be able to deliver by the 9th in Melbourne if it’s on that ship….but you never know.

    Any point is buying a type 2 cable?

    Well yes, obviously they serve different purposes and I would have thought it was clear that I’m trying to have different charging options for long distance trips. The question is are they commonly needed when driving to a variety of locations. Charging at home is a separate issue.

    Any point is buying a type 2 cable?

    Anyone have any thoughts on buying a a type 2 charging cable in southern Australia? I've bought a 5 pin 32 amp tail for my UMC but seeing a fair few BYO type 2 chargers around. I’m wondering if longer term owners find them useful when owning a M3 in Oz?

    Yeah. No. Not by a country mile. Australia is regulation hell. You even need an installer to put in ethernet cables.

    Since it takes the better part of a year to get a new Tesla, and the current petrol prices are high, it sounds about right.

    We should be but Australia is uncompetitive with labour costs, taxes, infrastructure costs… all the things I mentioned above. Also Asia has far more and cheaper skilled labour.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Why on earth would he do that? Massive infrastructure costs, huge energy costs, out of control labour costs, a tiny market to service, excess transport costs, poor productivity and out of control taxes. Australia is out of the ball park when it comes to manufacturing anything, let alone cars...

    They have no need to “restore customer positivity”, they have an excess of that, as well as huge orders. It’s just not going to happen.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    You know, I spent a large chunk of my life living in Asia, the US and Europe and it is remarkable the interference the Australian government has in peoples lives compared to other places. It’s even more remarkable how people just accept it. Personally I couldn’t imagine needing to pay anything...

    You don’t accept the lower range? Not withstanding the question of why you wouldn’t given the way you drive often has a dramatic effect on range, the answer is your order will be cancelled.

    No they won’t. When you order a Tesla they specifically don’t mention anything about delivery times, and only say that they will sell you a car when they build one that matches what you requested.

    I’ve own Teslas since 2014, I know exactly what the process is. You seems to be trying to massage what you wrote. “You are not placing an order but reserving one of their allocated matched vehicles” This may come as a surprise to you but you are not. You are asking Tesla to supply a vehicle...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Must have missed that section where is says "you are not placing an order for a Tesla but reserving one of their allocated matched vehicles". The closest thing to it in the contract is the following, "If you are purchasing a new vehicle, after you submit your completed order and the options you...

    What meltdown? What I wrote is a clear headed, unemotional observation on a number of people in this forum threatening class action lawsuits and getting mad at Tesla without good reason. It might be helpful for you to clam down and read what I wrote again and think of how you fit into it all...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    There are a couple of things in all this. Firstly, no one outside Tesla deeply understands the process to which VINs are allocated. Breaking numbers down, counting this and that is not going to be effective in determining when your car will be allocated. Secondly, we all know Tesla has been...

    M3 is not a patch on the S, but the S is ridiculously priced nowadays.
