Thanks for putting this together. First time seeing this thread. It's great to see our national percentage going up each year. We're still a long way from being able to go 100% renewable.

I don't think the UMC is worth it. You can already charge at home, which for me is 99% of the time. If you travel a lot away from home and can charge at a wall plug, maybe The charging network is improving, so technically you can just use those to charge away from home, the cost of that would...

There is no issue with using wash and wax. I think the ceramic coating is for lazy people who just want to hose off their car once a week and for it to come out looking shiny.

At least they are soft....not crusty like the motel ones 😂

Seems like degradation is slow, which is reassuring for me!

Hi all, Just to update everyone on this thread since I have received my car. I got a UMC with my car, but was told this was one of the last ones to get one. I got car mats as standard, but their quality is passable only. Very thin but I intend to use these for a little while maybe a year or...

I didn't even think of trying that! Would've been easier than trying all the different paints I have.....

Hi, I had some trouble finding a match for my curb rash for my Aero Wheels on my 2023 Model 3. The closest I have so far is this Sonic Carbon paint I purchased from eBay. It's around $20, and delivery was around 1-2 weeks. The final results is also attached, it's noticible up close if you...

When I picked up my car, my SA said that if the car was built before 23 Feb it'll come with a UMC? I have no idea if that's true or not

Hi, As as person who thinks cars are 'radio on wheels', do I firstly take off the cover, then use various grits of sandpaper to get this smooth. If so which grits? And I'll get some paint from Autobarn. Thank you

Hi, I recently picked up my car. They give you all the time in the world to look over the car, so there is no rush. The team at Tesla were also great. I had a few marks on mine, so they went and got some cleaner and cloth to wipe it down. I've heard of people picking up faults within the first...

I went with Allianz too. Was the best deal out of the ones I got a quote from. I tried RACV, AAMI, Suncorp, Bingle or maybe a couple more but these sprung to mind. Some said the M3 can only be driven by people over 21, and some don't cover learner drivers without the extra excess etc

I ordered a wall charger the other day, took about 2 weeks to arrive! Now I just need to get it installed!

I don't seem to see an expiry date on my email I received from ZEV, is it hidden somewhere? Thanks.

Hi Paul, Thank you. I called up and they changed it straight away. Very easy process if anyone else is in the same boat

If I was originally set up for cash, now I'd like to go to novated lease, how do I do this via the account? there doesn't seem to be a button?

Hi, Log into your account on your web browser, if you right click somewhere on the page you should get a drop down menu which says 'view page source' Once you have that open, press CRTL+F to get the search bar, and search through "vin" good luck

So i've had my account updated to "is_vin_assigned":true... but no actual VIN. Apparently this happens to some people with a Trade in, but not me? Anyone else had this happen? Thank you

I also have had a look around on insurance and the cheapest for me was RACV. The prices varied greatly, but the worst are the ones that consider electric vehicles to be 'performance' vehicles due to 1-100 speeds.

Yes, if it was uninsured it'd be pretty expensive fix. But the car looks like it is insured, so excess is the only amount to pay. Not sure what that means for the cost of insurance for the person next year though...

Not that I know of. The first Model Y 2023 were being assigned to people earlier this week.

With my potato of a photo? unlikely! haha

Thought I might post this for the lucky 12 people in Melbourne getting a new car soon. Just saw this on the M1 on the way out of town.

For those in Victoria it seems there are only 4500 subsidies left for the ZEV. How long do you think before it runs out?

I received the same ZEV email a few weeks ago. We have the same EDD (I ordered in Oct) I don't have a VIN (hidden or otherwise)

That's interesting. I think my cheapest offer was from RACV which surprised me

Interestingly for me, I've waited 105 days already. Hasn't really felt that long in yet. Hope no I don't have to wait like others here at 300days+

I ordered early October, must've just missed out :( Hopefully that means I'm not far away maybe another 6 weeks away!

Interesting. Looking at the spreadsheet, it usually appears about a month before delivery date? so might appear in the next few days?

Damn...That would've been deflating to see the dates go back :(

Thanks for your reply. I think I will get the boot side storage, they seems super handy.

Definitely, we can at least live vicariously through their posts of Tesla adventures!

Thanks. It's odd they don't go through existing orders to see if anyone with a similar order would like the car now. Or at least existing orders to be delivered in the next few months.

There's one in VIC with the same requirements as mine. The one in stock is still at the old price though, not the new one updated a few days ago? Can we just take the new one and swap it for the one on order?

Hi All, I couldn't find a thread with a list of the standard fitted accessories Model 3 are delivered with? From the forums I gathered that the cars no longer come with charging cables? As of June 2021 come standard with floor mats? Is this correct? Thanks, just trying to figure out which...

This is not the same for me? maybe we live in a different state, or we ordered at a different time. My original car price was $68,725 inc GST, the new price is $67150 inc GST. So it's a $1575 saving on the car. The stamp duty is slightly less (due to the car value being less)

I think people have held off due to all the new options in the market offered in Q4. Lots I know are now waiting and seeing which option will suit best.

Where is the link to this spreadsheet? I'd like to keep a look in / update my own haha. Thanks

Congrats! Seeing your OD, it's been a long wait for you.

It's interesting to see that some people are still waiting from their March order? Their delivery timing doesn't make sense sometimes. I only ordered in Oct 2022, I keep expecting to see order delays, but still says FEB - May. I'm increasingly thinking this so unlikely with the posts I'm seeing...

Woke up this morning with Tesla having applied for the VIC ZEV Subsidy for me. Has anyone else had any trouble with this from VIC or am I likely to miss out on the subsidy all together? Thanks.

What config did you order?

Maybe that's a good sign they are catch up on deliveries. It's been slow from what I gather from a lot of people on this forum. So quicker delivery sure is welcome!

Any updates on the TBD EDDs? Has anyone gone to a TBD and have been offered up a car?

Mine now doesn't show a delivery date on the app....odd

My OD was 10/23. App says delivery Feb-May 2023. Considering most of the deliveries are for people who ordered in March, they have a lot of catching up to do to fulfil their current delivery dates. Even ordering today still have the same delivery dates...

3.99% is a good deal. I doubt I'm going to get that by the time the car arrives :(

Hi, I recently put in an order for a M3. Will be putting it through novated lease. YMMV but the cost of the car plus tyres, maintenance, registration, insurance works out to be around $11k per year after tax The balloon is around $21k with the car worth around the $28k mark at that time. So...
