    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I was going to say Tess, but that is a pretty standard name for Tesla's... Nicky has my vote (for the Minaj reference, hahahaha).

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Tesla is a pain to deal with. With the demand for vehicles they have, they have all the power. Something not quite to their liking, [soup nazi voice] 'No car for you'! Pushed back another day... Pick up now on Thursday. 🥹 I have a feeling the car is 'still in transit' but using any excuse to...

    An extra sleep added to my DD. Car is still 'in transit'. Soon, my precious. 😊

    *sugar*. Work issue prevented me from attending the 'virtual education' session today 😟. Anyone here attended this 'education'? Was it important? Anyone able to give a quick rundown on what I may have missed? Thanks in advance.

    Mine appeared automagically yesterday. I checked after getting the 'schedule your pickup' SMS. I am pretty sure I checked the day before yesterday and it was not appearing.

    Yep, it was posted to my account page under documents section (and an SMS received) the day the EDD changed in app. Would have been on 17/8, by memory.

    Same SMS received today. Same delivery window. I found my VIN on invoice, can't see it on web or app. I did find VIN using the Json link. Not sure of any other way to see it.

    Mods: I am not affiliated with nor have any interests in this company, just answering a question... I bought mine from: Tessories AU Though there are other Tesla accessories sites.

    You cannot use standard jacks on a Tesla (without jack pads), high chance of damaging battery packs. If you are not planning on doing any mods (that require lifting chassis) or fixing/rotating tyres yourself, then probably not needed. Please note: lifting and towing Tesla's are very different...

    Obviously I meant motors... Lol Hopefully when I get my M3 I will reset away from ICE mind frame.

    A big difference between RWD and LR is that the LR has two engines, for starters. Hence acceleration is considerably quicker. Best to go on Tesla and do a compare. The FBT exemption (when/if passed - remember this is not actually a thing yet!) cuts out at $84,916. Keeping price below that would...

    For those with their new toys (and/or older toys), what is your experience with charging stations? Enough of them around? Easy to locate? Busy/hard to get access? Have you felt range anxiety? Getting better/worse to access?

    Looking forward to that feeling of excitement, my friend. My 12yo will be exactly the same. I can hear the conversation in my head. 'It is only a car dad'... 'No, my princess, what we have are cars, this is so much more than that.'

    Seriously? As a proud atheist, I find it offensive that a forum is to be censored in this way. The conversation was obviously satire and is exempt, by law, for this type of free speech. Hurt feelings should not and must not be policed in a free society. While I did not partake in the...

    My EDD moved forward to 8/9 - 22/9 from 23/9 - 30/9. I'm on the EDD rollercoaster. Shall we do pools on the next EDD update?

    Strange, I ordered 14/3 and I have had 6-9 months from order date. Not sure about this 15/3 cut over thing. Anything official on that?

    I'm a little disappointed there has been little discussion of late about loans and Novated leases. What's the latest? Have they passed the EV FBT exemption yet?? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Surely that cannot be enforceable. For a purchase of this cost and importance, I will take as long as I want to inspect before taking possession. It is not like they will fix a problem overlooked because they pushed the vehicle on you, without allowing you to do due diligence inspection before...

    I would assume that, in respect to TSELA's comment, it would be more than one peanut. But I don't work for Tesla, so I could be wrong there. 😉🤣

    I'd say slim to none, unfortunately. They are filling Feb at the moment. I am 14/3 with 6-9 months and am expecting November-December with the current shutdown, if true. Although live in hope. A couple of weeks ago, filling Feb orders this quarter seemed unlikely, but it's happening. 🤞

    Similar but opposite. I'm Brisbane, but could choose Hendra or Gold Coast pickup. Burning up highway in a brand new blue/black M3LR... Gold Coast for sure... No brainer. 🤣

    With all of these vins being assigned, I thought I'd log in to the Tesla app. First time since I downloaded the app that it asked me to log in (strange). With and OD of 14/3, I thought, I could not be that lucky... Surely... I was correct! 🤣

    To anyone who has recently received an M3... @old_geez I'm looking at you... Do the M3 in Aus come with the number plate/area. Saw a YouTube recommending a number plate holder. I would have thought an area to attach a number plate would be standard.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    However, unlike other countries, unfortunately Australia (previous Government, this one is yet to follow through on promises, time will tell) has not changed their outlook on EV's. Remember, EV's are going to 'destroy the weekend' and 'can not tow your trailer'. Australian's have ignored...

    Is this how there are some MY's around atm? They only just opened sales for MY here in Aus, but there's definitely two or three in Brisbane already.

    None of those would fly. It is an estimated delivery date, it is neither a promise nor a contract. Discrimination tends to be on something you can't change (with some caveats) i.e gender, race, age, sexual preference... You can always change your location. Move to China. They are pushing Tesla...

    Thanks for your replies, I have learnt a lot from this forum since joining but still seem to have so much to learn. So kudos to all for all your comments. Does the vin get updated in the app/email or does my SA inform when it is known? October feels way too far away... 😭

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Excuse my ignorance, but what does this mean? What are the different timelines? I would have thought they make all types of M3 and ship them together, is this assumption incorrect? Just curious as I ordered LR mid-March. May explain why it never changes from 6-9 months from OD.

    Just curious with the charger discussion. In people's opinion, is it worth the cost? Being in Australia we are 240v, a top up would be completed overnight, I would assume. This part of the equation is a mystery to me. Is there a resource you can suggest to help me get up to speed (charge my...

    Oh ok, it's only been 3 months waiting for me, was trying to get a guage on whether I'll be waiting the 6 or 9. In that case that, it will be hard to determine. I guess I'll put expectation on 9 months and hope for sooner. :) Thanks for info Crunchy. 👍

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Hi all, Being new to this process, how long does it usually take to receive the notice of a VIN number? If waiting time is stated as 6-9 months, would I be looking at 4-7 months for a VIN? Longer/shorter? Or does it vary so much that a timeframe is just unpredictable? Thank you for any insight...
