Not bad! Whats your wh/km?

Update: The expected repair time has come down to "closer to 2 weeks" from 4 which is good news (once the panels arrive). Also talked to my insurer about a rental car and was offered a Hybrid Camry through Budget Car Rental, or to book myself and claim back at "reasonable cost" whatever that...

Roger, cheers. I have read some fairly alarming things about right2drive and similar services - I'll try my insurer since i claimed through them, but I'll keep it right2drive in mind if they don't provide me an adequate vehicle.

I just got a quote from RAC for a SR MY with my details and it's 914 $ annually. All depends on your situation.

Just a small update. The parts were finally ordered last week, Tesla does not give a delivery estimate. From the smash repairers experience this takes about 6 weeks. It will take another 4 weeks to complete the repairs, which seems like a long time to me. That being said my main concern is the...

Might be able to have that repaired using smart repair, but the dent will be difficult to fix as it's right on the edge. My M3P got t boned at an intersection with 520km on the clock. Was at slow speed but still significant damage (not at fault)

Mine sure didn't! (Shanghai built) I would get it looked at for sure.

You can do it at the time of ordering, but there is no point really unless you want an idea of the amount. The offers are only valid for a limited time & additional kilometers. I did it after i got my VIN number, and didn't end up accepting since other places offered quite a bit more - i went...

Only this one, i probably expressed myself wrong. i just compared annual pricing at different insurers selecting yes at the section where they ask if you ever had any claims, and comparing those to my current premium. RAC for example only ask you if you ever had any claims regardless of fault...

True, good point! Thanks mate, i will keep you guys posted on the repairs.. i just hope that it's going to be as good as factory, as my paint was immaculate.

Well it's already lodged.. I could probably withdraw but not sure if its worth the hassle especially because i want choice of repairer, and also want my PPF redone at the same place. My insurance has at least verbally confirmed that they will cover it. I pay my premium yearly and am happy to...

i highly doubt that is going to be an issue as the damage is not that bad. But i'm also not an expert. I did however have a service appointment with Tesla because of slight vibration at highway speeds which i booked before the accident happened and went to after the accident. No one there...

This does not look compliant to the latest revision of AS3000 to me, however it would have been before. He should have used 4mm at minimum, depending on the cable type (TPS vs V90) even 6mm and all final subcircuits need to be RCD protected now. I would have installed a 40A RCD/MCB combo and a...

Thanks for that insight, did not know about this. This is fairly worrying actually, as like @cafz said, our interests are no longer aligned. No - i only know what the smash repairer said, and the fact that the car still drives like new. I guess any potential structural damage can only really be...

Yes, just panel damage. Uncontrolled intersection with stop and go traffic in my direction. Left a gap as you are supposed to. Car came up to the intersection with the intention to turn right and took the gap as a signal to go even though he couldn’t have because of oncoming traffic. Would have...

I can join this thread now, after my December delivered M3P with 540km on the clock was t-boned at an intersection 10 minutes after i picked the car up from being wrapped with matte PPF. The car is still driveable as the impact was at low speed and I was not at fault. Both passenger side doors...

Some country's have limitations on continuous loads. For example in the US a 15 Amp circuit is only allowed to be continuously loaded with 80%, therefore the 12 Amp limit. I guess once the charger realizes it's being used in AUS it unlocks the full 15 Amp charging current.

Tritium chargers don't have the best reputation internationally, not just here. I have plenty of bad experiences with them myself. My home city Hamburg, Germany installed tons of 50kW Tritium chargers and only a few years later they are tearing them down again, replacing them with Siemens HPC...

Pretty disappointing they are only 75KW each? The ones i used in Germany (Aral Pulse, subsidiary of BP) were always 300KW Alpitronic Hyperchargers. 2x CCS, 1x Chademo. They worked rather well, 150kW if shared obviously.

Interesting. I am currently back home in Germany and driving a '21 M3P, and was surprised by the strong acceleration at Autobahn speeds, but feel like my brand new OZ delivered M3P is a tad more face melting at lower speeds. Might be time to finally buy a dragy.

Offered me 6000$ more. Same as everything else, always shop around.

Not for our market. Mine is MY22 and build 16/10/22. Glad i still have USS.

I don't think 800$ is too much to ask for a quality job with quality tint tbh. But it is on the higher end.

it's a loudspeaker, similar to the boombox instead of using a traditional car horn. Sounds pretty fake.

pretty sure they do, we are getting MY22 still.

nope, Europe bound M3s have no USS and no physical horn either (superhorn instead)

Cheers, build date is 16/10/22. You will be getting USS too, no MY23 for AUS yet.

Gotta do the whole car with Matte, would look a bit weird otherwise. It's around 8000$ at a reputable Shop including tint. Have gotten quotes in between 5 and 10k.

Yep. I believe the film will be STEK Dynomatt.

There she is! 😍 There was a hiccup that delayed my delivery for about 30mins (make sure your the payment is ticked in your account before you take delivery, even if the balance has been saying 0 for a week...) Paint is good, panel gaps excellent. Should come out beautifully after...

Today is the day! 1 hour 8 minutes :D That's odd, i wouldn't pay without a locked in delivery date...

Not at all, there is no exit fee, just refinance through someone else.

My car didn't show up on RAV until 2 weeks after landing in Fremantle. I went with Queensland country bank green car loan 4.5% comparison rate, variable - no ongoing fees. Seems like they increased it to 4.77% now. They were a bit slow with the whole process but overall good so far. (And...

I got permission to install a 15A outlet from the owner easily. Just wrote a letter to the REA saying i would pay for it and where exactly it was going to go and got approval the day after. They would be stupid to turn you down. Cost was about 2 weeks worth of rent for me. (i have been at this...

Tesla doesn't do personalised plates anymore. You will have to do that after you delivery. @Power Hungry no, you will loose your deposit as per order agreement.

Does the Payment Method on your profile ever get ticked? Have paid earlier this week and balance is 0 but no tick.

The app now also lists my VIN number directly under the RN number, whatever that means.

afaik, the dashcam only saves the last hour of driving and constantly gets overwritten. All a bigger drive does is it allows for more saved dash cam clips & sentry recordings.

Way after. The ship docked in Fremantle 15/11 and only just now got RAV entry. It should be sitting in a CEVA yard at the moment. Delivery is booked for the 7th.

Also: My VIN has finally appeared on the RAV. 377kW power - nice They definitely have been in Shanghai as well, but for Europe - seems like we are still getting the 22. First deliveries in Perth will be mid next week.

I noticed, i don't mean to be condescending but feel much more safe going +200 Kmh on a Autobahn vs driving 100 on a freeway around Perth 😅

A fact that still baffles me as a German expat. Back home you have to complete a first aid course as part of getting your drivers licence (which you need to attend driving school for) and you are also required to have a first aid kit, hi vis vest & warning triangle in your car at all times...

Does someone know if AUS delivered M3s come with the roadside safety kit, or do you have to buy that separately?

yes, i have had some issues with a M3P on a steep driveway. The issue with the M3(P) is it's long wheelbase, the clearance itself is actually pretty good. Usually it's only the mudguards that scrape though, which are easily replaceable.

You have to pay a minimum of 2 days prior taking delivery at which point you would have had a VIN for weeks. At least here in AUS.

Congrats on all the new VINs, about time. :)

My M3 landed in Freo a week ago, still no RAV entry... Edit: HELLO!

IMHO not possible with their current hardware. I don't get why people want to pay (heaps too) to be beta if not alpha testers. Hot take: By the time FSD works (here) you will have another car anyway.

Mine too, which puts me back in the Dilemna i had with the original EDD after receiving the VIN, i am going overseas on the 14th. One more change to add to my sig

I'm in the same boat, thanks for the info. Not really a surprise tbh.
