    Try BYD’s coordination. Tesla’s way better than that.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My SA said to me that I would find out when the car was coming before him. At least, for now, you have an EDD when you expected it. Mine was MAY / June with due to shutdown and Covid ended up August/ October. The car arrived Aug 13.

    I had the same situation and did a 6 months rego and (luckily) the brakes didn’t squeal although needed doing. I still got the same trade in from Tesla although they had to provide another quote.

    I don’t know whether this will help but I got my vin on 15 July, car made 16 July, picked up 13 August from Brisbane delivery center.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Even after I received my delivery date in August (a Tuesday), on the previous Friday I got call from Tesla asking if I could pickup tomorrow, the Saturday. I guess what I am saying, even the delivery date can be bought forward, if both parties agree.

    I have also paid the money and I continue, after my Tesla arrived, to pay a reduced amount because I can see value in it. I fully realize that some people, regrettably, cannot afford it or just don’t want the service (like a friend of mine). And that’s ok. But I do not think people should knock...

    My SA said they would contact me if there were any issues. They will not let you too close to delivery date without all being well. Tesla were putting on personalized number plates at the time.

    Haha. Depends on how long it takes at PK. Mine took about 5 days to receive the delivery text (1.5 in transit).

    Not according to this site. It may have started that way, with Tesla being American. https://www.whichcar.com.au/car-advice/ev-charging-levels From the article ….”however, it's worth noting that some EVs and will only charge at a maximum of 7.6kW AC even with a 22kW charger.” (not a Tesla in...

    The UMC is 11km/h and the single phase is 42km/hr. I have seen 43 or 44. Of course these values are less as it reaches maximum.

    A friend of mine has a RWD. He got 3-phase connected up. L1 - UMC Plug/cable that comes with car into 10A standard socket = 11 km/hr L2 - Single phase (via Tesla charger) = 42-3 km/hr 3-phase (via Tesla charger) = 77 km/hr L3 - Version 2 Supercharger = 125 kw/hr L3 - Version 3...

    Depending on how old the Marine Traffic photo is (i think it is the last 24 hrs), there was at least 2 White Tesla's being loaded.

    Just found this on Whirlpool, I don’t know if it is valid or correct. “My VIN is a 382XXX with the J engine. The J engine has always been the 3D6 P engine with 239kW of max power. There is another hairpin engine, the 3D7 B engine with 208kW of max power, but this one has only been seen on LR...

    I am not saying that will not be the case, but I would not believe anything an SA tells you. My SA said I would find out from wherever before him from Tesla.

    All RWD and LR are 208, the LR has the additional front motor. The P is 239 from memory.

    I used to rewire my motors (for fun) in my slot cars and the thinner the wire while it increased the speed, it dramatically reduced the torque. Maybe it’s for size, weight ??? who nows.

    It does not seem to matter what type of wiring wrt power.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    It seems there are two variants of the hairpin windings 3D6 and 3D7 My mate has a RWD and got it in March 2022, his 8th is “S”. I suspect ??? It is related to the power of RWD and LR (3D6/7) and both are hairpin windings.

    In the last 2 lines of the link says it all - “Wire windings: 3D1, 3D3, 3D5” ”Hairpin windings: 3D6, 3D7” AIt seems all the recent TESLAS are hairpin (mine is) which is 3D6 or 7

    How much is the Hyundai EV? I know someone who bought a Kia EV for $2,000 less than they could have bought a RWD Tesla at the time. I know what I would have preferred.

    We added both Frunk and Trunk sound proofing from RpmTesla.com. We went for a drive then added the front and went for a drive. No noticeable difference. We then added the rear and went for a drive and it made quite an improvement, much quieter. I thought I was buying both but didn’t, only bought...

    I didn’t drive the trade-in at first and my SA said drive it. So I did and added 8,000k and got the same offer so I’m happy with that. Otherwise I would have first complained that it‘s their fault and then sold privately.

    Did you have a trade-in? The SA I spoke to said it could delay the invoice until the price was finalized.

    What I think has happened is RWD was done, then LR and P’s and next will be RWD. My friend ordered a couple of weeks before me in Brisbane is still waiting for her VIN and she ordered a RWD.

    Everything you have gotten I have gotten about 1hr later. I’ll see if the invoice goes that way also.
