Thanks @mukaibot for starting this thread. I had similar distance constraints at home and based on research (and aged 10A sockets) decided to spend around $600 and get a new double 15A point placed in a more logical location in the garage. However, as @louco73 noted, I haven't used it a stack...

Hi @Power Hungry I am sure you and your wife are a smart couple, and you have made a smart decision. Back yourselves and enjoy the wait, research, learning etc. Block the negativity and cross check the FUD. I had to wait the best part of a year for my 2022 M3 - during that period I told no...

Congrats and well done... I've had my M3 RWD for 2000+ kms now and can't see myself buying an ICE ever again. My experience is the base-level audio is better than what was in the 2021 BMW that I had prior to delivery. At the same time, I was ultra impressed with the sound the first week or...

That is outstanding @Maximillan. Just to confirm, you assess that 77% gave you 397kms (you were 100% on Friday), and therefore 1% = 5.15km, so all being equal you would get circa 500km if continued on and drained? I am getting nowhere near that efficiency on a month-old 1200km RWD 3 with...

Good Q @Maximillan - for simplicity, these are a couple of tracked summaries, and there would have been some short and medium drives & stays in my driveway over a day or two. Interestingly I did not drive between Sat PM and Tue AM this week (say 2.5 days) and I lost 2% for 0 Km (Sentry off at...

Many thanks for this info Hravani, @Vostok, @Punchbuggy @Maximillan @cafz and all 👍 As a recent M3 RWD owner (couple of weeks), I am watching Battery %, trying to get a feel for efficiency and general range. In short, it seems inefficient and inconsistent ie: generally uses more than I...

G'day @Gogogav, @TE5L4 - If you or any Sydney-based folks are not that happy with your plate allocation and would consider an XX-11-ZZ custom with EV theme I picked & purchased but am looking to move on/no longer want, feel free to send a DM to me and I can share some details/costs/process. I...

After an 11 month wait and a fair amount of whining from me, I also picked up my Nov 22 built Vanilla RWD delivery earlier this week. My delivery prep: new 15A socket installed in garage, insurance sorted (NRMA was best for me), final payment 3 days prior (allow time to rego etc), recall my...

Game not 100% over yet Raymond 🤣… another Feb Syd Vanilla order here still awaiting the circus to wrap up.. ie: no delivery date / SMS just yet.. yes, we will get there, and sure it will be worth the wait. Good luck to the punters collecting soon 👍

It’s not their fault that they are clueless and still have a possible first pick up date of a Public Holiday (26 Dec) showing in their own app?

App still showing Dec 26th - Jan 16th, but did received the "we estimate your vehicle delivery will now occur between mid-January and early February" email earlier. Who knows or can follow this circus... it gotta be in the next few weeks, but whatevs now me thinks - Syd deliveries largely dock...

Great quick review Studgun - cheers. Don't worry about the wireless changing, you've got to have something new to put on the shopping list and wait for. Maybe there is an adapter that could work for your phone?: Alternatively, feel free to shoot $35 into my Patreon account as an order fee...

Yep, just got adjusted again: 26 Dec to 16 Jan, 2023. Some progress is +ve, but it does seem like the work experience kids are playing with the controls. I assume there is no way Dec 26th or Pub Hol Tue Dec 27th is a delivery option, so why not just paint reality, even with the wide window we...

Hi, while waiting thought I would research and set-up my Charge accounts (inc. Evie) and noticed the following: https://support.goevie.com.au/hc/en-us/articles/360022658593-How-do-I-order-and-activate-an-RFID-card- "Cost: As a promotion, RFID cards are currently $0." Disclaimer: also listed...

Likely valid views on both sides, but to me if expectations were set a little better upfront, I would probably be in a better frame of mind: eg: "we as SA's really know as much as you, beware your M3 could actually go significantly over our current EDD and hey, our #1 method of communication is...

OK, it's Friday, Happy Hour time in most of Aus, enough of my 1st world issue moaning and whining I suppose... no one cares 🤣 🍻 Flip side, what are the bonuses of waiting 10-11 months for a car that you hoped would be 5-7 at time of order? 1. Big deal, many other makes and models are 12...

Sadly, this forecast is not looking too far off reality. What a bunch of Muppets... Updated EDD: New Year's Day to Jan 22nd, 2023. Merry Christmas 👍

I think that is all the punters are looking for... just a small acknowledgement of a pain of a year for the Q1/Feb order fee payer-waiters and there is some level of empathy and customer focus. But I don't see it happening. Again: first world issues, agree that once it's on a boat or at port...

You are right and I agree Dude, but the reality is they don't care one crumpet about the wait, the buyer or the experience - demand is way too high, and the Feb price point would possibly be seen as some form of compo. Can't believe the timing the poor Adelaide crew are now seeing - where is...

Nice - BRB, just going to try and find the Rosary Beads 🙏🤣

Hear you No EV - the whole s-show just drags on for some of us. Next to nil comms, no logic, random allocations - and now the reality that a pre-Christmas collect is next to no chance outside of some miracle. I'm still keen to get it (clearly asap), but the pathetic process has sadly soured...

Very rough search and just an idea.. maybe you could order one of these, and DIY vertically: Car Cover Viewing Window | T.J. Cars

Completely valid disclaimer @Stokesy - I have absolutely no idea either, just hope and praying it bug free/no quarantine issues and minimal forklifts et al

Understood, but if there is any possible chance of having a quiet word with the folks rowing Morning Cherry and Morning Crystal and asking them to get a polite move on that would be highly appreciated thanks Veda 🙂👍

Congrats, very good news - you have done some wait time! Any magic tricks eg: have you paid up in full as yet?

I find the apprentice Vedas, wannabee TelsaToms & junior SAs with firm views more amusing 🙂 but overall has been a good laugh & informative 👍

Many thanks Zombie and Cafz - so summary is, for M3/Y best just go the quality branded one from Telsa store and it will adequately and safely do the job around town ... bank on 'up to/max' of 65Km per hr speed at the 'right' charger. Looks a good length and fair value. Cheers again.

Yes, thank you - I could only see the following specs on their site: Up to 11 kW with Model 3 / Up to 65 km with Model 3 Thus, I thought a 22kW version could be a better option.

Hey Cafz - this blue/back cable from Tesla store looks great length/quality and you endorse. TY Can I pls get your perspective if there is any value in getting something like Type 2 to Type 2 EV Charging Cable | 7 Metre | 32A 22kW (from say EVSE) for BYOD use at a council or shopping centre...

Thanks - some logical points. Need to remind myself I made a purchase decision in Feb 22 based on price, rebates/incentives, and my trade value at that point in time, so not much value in me looking to what 'might' be the next iteration and net cost down the track.

Indeed. As we know, global logistics and supply chain etc has been tipped upside down the last couple of years, and many sectors impacted (primarily tech and cars - and caravans). I was just trying to cast my mind back to before-Covid times of when I have ever waited 9-10 months for...

Fully deserved Ian - mid Feb to now is a fair wait - enjoy. Can't think of many 'products' (excl. new house and baby) that in pre-C-19 times have a lead-time of circa 10 months. Now I have a VIN, I have allowed myself to finally start ordering accessories (fun) and researching insurance...

Vingabus is coming 🥳👍

Come on Stokesy, don't put the mock on us... I assess that move is reserved for p/up day 🙂. I seriously won't believe this vehicle exists until I see it in the collect shed 👍

See it but I do not believe it............... And the vinner is… Sydney! (RWD, White/Black, OD 28 Feb, VIN 25 Nov, EDD: December 16 - December 30*) *I know, Subject to change

Hi raffdog - Do you have a guesstimate on what vessel NSW and QLD February RWD orders are on and when we are due to see VINs? Cheers

Big congrats folks 🙌 - there could be riots if ACT, NSW and QLD don't get some VIN action shortly 🤣

Could not agree more Snoopy1 - well said on all fronts 👍 It will be awesome, I am stoked for those picking up - but gee it has been a slog for some of us (without logic), and with no hidden VIN or other hope yet, it seems like we have gone nowhere since Feb 🤷‍♂️

Fair, but I think when they moved us from 5-7 months to the Aug-Nov range, that catered for the C-19 & plant upgrade shut downs... many of us are now in Dec-Feb zone and no VIN. I would just recommend any prospective buyer to expect the unexpected, and hope for things to improve & settle down...

Many of us ordered in Feb and are still patiently sitting at the bus stop... zero movement and comms since order date: they have zero idea.

Yeah definitely - or get the aeros off straight away, keep them aside for clean resale etc and get these on 👍

Thanks, and understand: I should have stated I am undecided if I 100% like them or not (vs are they fake)... I think finish and centre logo inclusion will be important for me, but all the vids online do look good, and I will start to dig through the various sellers and get these, the console...

It's a good question Ade and I am sure I will have a view of the potential $120 p/a spend post-delivery (whatever decade that will be) and testing for a month. Question for the RWD-waiters: does anyone have a view or 'forum compliant' tips on these types of caps to replace the Aeros. Not...

Is this a gee-up? It has been the same fluff guidance for the last X weeks... thus it's confirmed: they have zero idea. Why are they ever referenced re: EDD? We have more hope of picking 5 winners of the 10 races at Wentworth Park dogs tonight. It's a lovely story that is either cooked-up on...

Indeed - as I have noted before it's a first world problem - but now it is odd, frustrating and a little draining. It's also a bit 'whatever' at this point, and I think it could be good for sanity to jump off the forum for a while TBH.. but I do enjoy the banter and others perspectives. I...

Can we please just return to being perplexed and whining about where Feb Syd/Bris/Melb/SA/Tas Vanilla orders are ?? Or maybe I should set up an ANZ TMC Members Therapy Session over Teams/Zoom for fellow Q1 Waiters to meet and moan. Let's set it for Week 1-2 Dec, but it may shift to Week 3-4...

I hear you - but nothing would surprise me now... I am half expecting to see a "sorry: order cancelled" message pop up in the app, a refunded order fee and a bonus I ❤️ Tesla sticker sent out as compo.

Where is the :( button John... 9 Feb RWD! Certainly getting on and full credit to you for patiently sticking it out...

Yes, there are a few of us in the same eastern seaboard camp: Feb orders/awaiting vanillas - good luck to those who have had some progress this w/e 👍

I bet I get a Dec 2022 build, registered in late January and delivered in early Feb 2023 (with no USS and missing UMC) 🤣 😭😂
