They don't charge them all to 100%. @alliwantisaY 's car was only at something like 30% - and we picked our cars up at the same time.

Say what you like about the S3XY knob but the one thing it does really well is look like it was meant to be there all along.

I installed mine yesterday, and I'm also disappointed that it only supports a very tiny subset of the advertised features And most of the ones it does support I find a bit pointless - like changing music volume (there's a scrollwheel on the steering wheel for that) or cabin temperature (which...

My fourth visit to the Osborne Park delivery centre (picking up my car and three times helping others) and I've never seen the outside parking lots this full before. Lots and lots of Model 3 Highlands waiting for their new homes and a handful of Model Ys. My Model Y was definitely feeling...

I think Shmaybe was talking about spotting cars in general. They won't register your Tesla until the day before delivery - otherwise you'd be paying rego on a car you don't own yet, and would have to renew early in 12 months time. If you're signed up for DotDirect you'll be able to see your...

Have you tried searching for a hidden VIN with the Chrome VIN Finder Extension?

That can be a sign that your delivery booking SMS/email is imminent Have you completed all outstanding tasks in your Tesla account? Have you got a pending trade-in request that you haven't accepted or rejected yet?

Yes the Osborne Park delivery centre is huge

RPM Tesla make replaceable dash inserts for pre-Highland Model 3 and Model Y - and they give you a partial refund if you return your old inserts for them to rewrap for the next customer. It might take them a while to start doing the same for Highland.

This software (tesla_dashcam) helps with that. It's a bit fiddly to get working but once set up it will automatically merge the cameras together how you want.

Increasing the size of the storage will allow for more sentry events, or manually saved dashcam events to be stored - but won't increase the amount of video that's recorded normally - the car will automatically delete footage that's more than an hour old. That means if you've got Sentry running...

Usually by SMS and email And they will send you to a website to schedule your delivery, which will have the format www.tesla.com/schedule/RNxxxxxxxxx with your reservation number When your car isn't ready to be scheduled that URL will just redirect to your main account page, but if it's your...

That's what's supposed to happen, but in reality Tesla seem to add the cars to RAV whenever they want. The first batch of Model 3 Highlands for WA were entered into RAV while they were parked in Singapore:

And most of them built in 2024, so they must be on the Gracious Ace

They used to be available from EVSEAdapters but are currently out of stock

It's proof that EVs are a leftie conspiracy

Something like this?

I've seen them used underneath kitchen benchtops to power inductive hot plates or ovens Most of the third party 32A tails seem to use the three round pin version, instead of the 3 flat pin version in your image. Which is bizarre to me, because if you install one of the round pin sockets it...

Plenty of ships go to Melbourne first, and then back up the coast to PK and Brisbane.

Hankook Ion Evo on the 19" Nova wheels. No idea about the standard 18" Photon wheels

Just bear in mind that inventory doesn't mean the car is physically in Australia and ready to be delivered. Inventory just means the car has been built. The Glovis ones that just got added this week are still in Shanghai, being loaded onto a new ship.

There's no such thing as a compliance plate anymore, they've been replaced with the online Register of Approved Vehicles And that relies on the manufacturer or importer to certify that the cars comply, even though in this case they clearly don't. But the problem (just like with BYD) is that...

There's a free documentary on Youtube that's excellent viewing There's no way they're going to be doing any maintenance on the vehicles while at sea

That's right, you already have a VIN assigned and your order will progress normally, you just won't know what the VIN is until your trade-in is no longer pending Or they might upload the vehicle rego papers for you to sign, that will also have the VIN.

It's a known issue with Tesla's website that it won't tell you your VIN (hidden or otherwise) while you have a trade-in pending. As soon as you accept or reject your trade-in offers you'll be able to see your VIN.

It was in the "GOVERNMENT BUSINESS SCRUTINY COMMITTEE B" transcript @Chuq posted earlier (screenshots and direct pdf link) I think Mr Dwyer meant that in the context of: you should have charged enough to reach the next destination and/or charging station Just like petrol cars that come on...

They don't have any accessories available for pick-up. So if you want one you should order on the online store.

If you have a novated lease then the lease must be for the entire purchase amount - so the order fee is refunded separately If you don't have a novated lease then it comes off the final invoice under "Payments Received"

The BYD fix was a bit more involved. In addition to cutting a hole in the back of the seat, they had to remove the passenger airbag switch and cover up that hole, and also block off the front passenger seat isofix rails.

Does anyone have any contacts in the USA that could go and visit their local showroom, and take a photo of the parcel shelf for us? https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/8023397/

Best bet is to keep an eye on inventory for your state, and place an order when you see a 2024 model that you like You'll lose your $400 deposit and have to reorder

It's happened to multiple people in this thread

That schedule only lists Armacup vessels - which are like a regularly scheduled ferry service that multiple manufacturers can book deck space on. Usually 300-1000 Teslas at a time. Tesla also use regularly scheduled Mol Ace vessels for the same purpose - mostly to WA, and some to the East...

You're looking at the Tesla USA site, where their Model 3s can do up to 48A single phase, and no ability to do three phase. The Aus equivalent website is https://www.tesla.com/en_AU/support/charging/onboard-charger In Australia the Model 3 / Model Y charger maxes out at 32A on single phase...

Yes you have. They really should have put them in inventory for a discount, but I guess they're hoping most people won't notice. Plus there's more than 3000 they want to be rid of.

I should have done this years ago. Blessed silence.

Tesla don't build to order, at least not since the Model S / Model X days. They build a bunch of cars, then look for outstanding orders to match them to. Sometimes that works in your favour, because placing a new order might match to an inventory car that has already been built and recently...

And if you don't have that section for some reason (because Tesla is consistently inconsistent) then you can view the source code for that page and search for rawAmount

Yes but as I pointed out the same motor has different power outputs in different applications. Similar to how fossil car manufacturers will have different "tunes" for the same engine depending on which trim the customer purchases. 194kW in China domestic Model Y; 208kW in Australia delivered...

The motor power rating topic comes up frequently. It's even confused a few bloggers who've hastily announced power and battery upgrades for the Australian market based on the latest RoVeR entries, without comparing with older ones (which show that nothing has changed) And the "Battery type...

Is that screenshot from the Chinese owner's manual? That's the only place the Model Y's 3D7 is rated 194kW @ 5400rpm In Australia they've always been rated as 220kW @ 8000rpm From the Road Vehicle Regulator: In the Model 3 the 3D7 has always been rated as 208kW @ 6500 rpm

It means the car has been registered with the Australian Government as being in compliance with the Road Vehicle Standards Act 2018 It replaces the old compliance plate that used to be fitted to the car. It's a requirement before the vehicle can be sold, and many finance and insurance...

That won't affect @cjm75 's Model Y, it's a Model 3 Highland problem only. Overflow (what doesn't fit at the Osborne Park delivery centre) is at CEVA High Wycombe, and Tesla's sent shipments of up to 750 to Fremantle at a time, so there's enough space there for both Marvelous Ace and Gracious...

Who's going to be first to cut a hole in the right spot, for science? 🧑‍🔬 After all, Tesla will need to either make a hole in the same place or replace the whole shelf. What could go wrong? 🤣

That'll be it. Thanks! Edit: and a better photo from Murphster's earlier post here showing how it's all related.

Oops, fixed. Thanks @Murphster ! Not being too familiar with the internal components of a Model 3, how does the red tether point shown in your photo here connect to the grey tether points in the photo I misquoted above?

I've done some sleuthing, and it looks like Tesla have made quite a few changes since then. First of all, that 2019 Model 3 had a (removable) single wide speaker grille covering both speakers, which were integrated into the plastic rear shelf. Newer Model 3s had individual speaker grilles...

Four weeks But in addition to cutting a hole for the top tether, they also had to disable the front passenger seat isofix rails and remove the airbag switch.

Yes I found out the hard way that RACWA charge more based on the build year of the car. A while ago I noticed my 2014 built, 2015 registered car was in their system as a 2015 model so I gave them a call to make sure their details were accurate, only to be told my premium would be about $100...
