    Changes to NSW EV incentives

    Submitted mine 6/3/2024, paid by 27/03/2024 so not too bad all things considered.

    New M3SR vs LR

    100% this for me. It's not that much more and you get a lot more car. I keep my cars for a long time so I felt like I would always kick myself for not spending a bit more. But my wife who more treats it to get from A to B the SR would be perfect for.

    Geez that's slow. I submitted mine early March I guess I'll be waiting for a while.

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    You guys are lucky. I know it seems minor but it is actually really annoying and has really taken away from my whole experience. Reading all these horror stories on here that people are stuck with misaligned dashboards to door trim (across different models). I felt like I didn't get the chance...

    Not sure it’s LR only - seems to be random but just bit disappointing. Already had to turn it off! Fingers crossed they can do something. Shame as otherwise seems all good! Will let you all know how it goes in case anyone else has the same in the future.

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Picked up mine today overall the car seems good so far. Looks great and very smooth to drive. Effortless power. Stalks and touch screen biggest storm in a tea cup - pretty easy to get used to. Unfortunately unlike the rest of you I got a poorly aligned LED strip and door on both sides which has...

    Hey mate, yep VIN has build date early Jan 2024 and arrived on Paganella. The delay seems to be getting it to Chatswood. It ships March 4th so I have taken a day off work to pickup March 5th. Not too long now I guess!

    Also keen to hear your feedback on the RS3 vs LR HL. As much as I'm excited for my LR those RS3s are very cool. That Straight-five engine...

    Has anyone bought a cheap 22kw type2 cable from Ali express? Any feedback on the quality and a link? Looking to purchase one for the rare times I need it and don’t want to spend much on it

    Yep which was my hope that it's less of an issue which seems to be. Probably just getting paranoid / stressed leading up to pickup day 😆

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    For those lucky enough to have their cars - how is the alignment of your LED strips between the doors and the dashboard? Have been watching too many US reviews where some are pretty out of whack. Not sure if they can be adjusted. Tried to bring mine forward but only gets moved to Chatswood...

    @Mes1 - I'm getting my Blue highland in a few weeks and yours looks amazing. Can I ask exactly what Ceramic coating and tint package that is? And what level of darkness? I'm not far from Thornleigh so should be nice and easy!

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I don't know why but the internal alignment of the LED strip is probably one of my main concerns. I have seen a few that are off and it looks terrible. I'm a bit OCD so it would bug the *sugar* out of me. Do people raise this on pickup if it's in issue? There was a really bad one on reddit. I'm...

    Paid all my final invoice so just waiting for delivery. Spoke to them this afternoon and still sitting in PK awaiting logistics.. At least everything should be lined up now.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Great advice thank you both. Worse case I'm paying a bit of extra insurance which is no big deal. Will put as the start EDD and use the VIN.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Mine was on Paganella with a build date of 8/1/24. With regards to payment - I've got the final invoice, but no delivery date. At what point do people typically pay? I'm in a bit of a chicken and the egg situation: Bank needs insurance but otherwise loan is good to go Insurance needs a rego...

    Seems to indicate the more recent 2024 ones were factory corrected prior to shipping?

    Assigned a VIN today - no pending tasks showing. I guess now just a matter of waiting for the invoice and delivery booking. What site do people recommend for looking up the VIN for more details?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Got the same SMS. Still no VIN and my delivery date still shows February 14 - March 21. *shrugs* I messaged them saying I'm OK to pickup from Alexandria or Chatswood and gave them some dates I'm overseas after reading that here!

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Not much changing at the Chatswood DC. My VIN is still not showing either - is it because my finance still shows like that? I've messaged Tesla and they've said it's all OK.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Interesting thanks! If I sit on the trade in for a bit I'm assuming it won't delay it BUT it won't show my vin? Deciding on effort to sell a 2008 Mazda car vs making maybe an extra $2k-$3k selling myself. I'm concerned who would buy something so old!

    What it's worth mine is the same. 18th Feb - 8th March but no VIN. Got my trade in amount today but it's low so will sell separately I think.

    No it got updated today. First time anything has changed on my order since ordering.

    Still no VIN here BUT I've got a similar delivery window today (previous Jan-Mar) so I assume it would be assigned soon. Estimated Delivery: February 16 - March 08 Details in signature of which one

    Mazda 6 2008 and also have owned for 14 years so it will be quite the upgrade like you. Now if they'd only assign me a car ;)

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I agree with this and to be honest it surprises me - more so the lack of LR. The performance is a fair bit more expensive but feel the LR you get a fair bit more for a moderate uplift (4wd dual motor, faster with hopefully boost in the future, better sound system, more range etc). Each to their...

    Same here for Chatswood pickup. Still the usual Jan-Mar. Are the LRs less common? who knows.

    I've been looking at this fridge for the subtrunk - such a shame there is no plug in the 3! For anyone with the highland already is it feasible to run a cable from inside the car to the boot? I'm assuming just behind the arm rest? With something like https://amzn.asia/d/6PdxxSV ?

    Has anyone heard when/if the acceleration boost is planned?

    I was concerned initially about the blue but that has gone now :) Still waiting though. NSW seems similar to ACT with very few VINs.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Congrats! Still nothing here (see sig). Assuming yours is SR? Don't think there are any LR in Sydney confirmed? How are you all changing to Alexandria? I might do the same. Being on the north side Chatswood is closer but driving another 20 minutes isn't a big deal.

    Been on holidays for a week which has been good to stop checking for a bit. Still no changes here will have to keep being patient. Charger installed and ready to go though 😆

    Does anyone picking up any Chatswood have a VIN? M3LR, blue, 18”, early sept still nothing here too.. don’t think we are on that shipment

    Still nothing. Chatswood pickup. Starting to get the feeling my car isn’t on DJ

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I got the same. My undertsanding is now you pay it and claim it back unfortuantely. You should have your deposit receipt to show you ordered prior to 2024.

    NSW EV Rebate & Home Charger

    Hi all, Potentially looking to purchase an M3 soon for ideally delivery around July 2023. Current wait time is around Feb-May so will likely delay a month or two. It's most likely a sales tactic but does anyone know how the NSW EV rebate numbers are going? I understand it is for the first 25k...
