Congratulations. Merry Christmas!

I was on the fence about EAP at time of order, but decided to wait and add it later if I decided I wanted it to save paying an extra $102 in stamp duty. Not sure why anyone would buy it before delivery and pay more stamp duty.

I used Summon a couple of times today to move the car in and out of the garage while I was working in there and all sweaty. I also gave auto lane change a crack on the way to work this arvo. Both are cool, but still not sure if they're $5,100 cool. I guess I have a month to play with it and...

No, it seems everyone is getting it for a month starting on 22 or 23 December. Hopefully you get your car before the trial period is over.

Well, maybe I should have used a checklist at delivery. I missed some transit damage to the sideskirts, which I only saw today when I sat on the garage floor to put my shoes on before mowing the lawn. I checked the bumpers but missed the sideskirts as it was parked between two other cars. To...

I have sent people achieve this with S3XY Buttons, but I don't think it's worth the cost. I'll just get used to it. I won't be charging every day for my commute. Getting tint and ceramic coating at Attention to Detail in Garbutt. They have experience in Teslas and own a Model 3 themselves. They...

Not the charge door, but the charge port/socket. It won't release the plug unless you unlock it. The Tesla chargers have a button on the plug that unlocks the port, but third party chargers don't have that feature.

Oh, and I discovered a UMC in the lower boot today. Tesla told me it wouldn't come with one because of my order date. Lovely surprise.

I did have a good walk around looking for damage outside and inside before signing the CEVA paperwork. I think I have a pretty good eye for detail and it all looked pretty good. I didn't use a checklist or anything like that. Surprisingly, Autopilot had calibrated well before I made it from...

CEVA called and said my car would be delivered the following day between 10 and 12. I requested to collect it sooner from the depot as that window was close to when I needed to leave for work. They said they required written authorisation from Tesla and would send them an email. I called Tesla...

There are a number of solutions. Personally, I have a MyEnergi Zappi set to Eco+ mode, which will only use excess solar to charge the car. I have set an export limit of 200W so it will not start charging unless there is at least 200W going to the grid. This prevents it draining my house battery...

It's great. Even at 4:15pm on an overcast day I had enough excess solar to get a bit of charge into it when I got home. It had 96% when I picked it up but I went the very long way home and got down to 80%.

😁

My car has arrived at the CEVA depot. I finish work in 27 minutes and am heading straight there to pick it up 😁

Nothing yet. Hoping to receive a call from the driver tomorrow, but they said I may not hear from them until Wednesday. Hopefully it's delivered in the morning on Wednesday; I have to start work at 2pm.

I believe they don't register it until the day of your delivery. Mine was registered the day it was picked up by the car carrier.

It's a crap situation, but giving a "fairly large spray" to the person on the other end of the phone who has no control over the manufacture or logistics, is fed as little information as we are, and is hamstrung by the company's communication policy, is a bit rough. That would be better aimed at...

Yes, but only within the same State.

I think we all need to remember that the "E" in EDD stands for "estimated", as in a rough or approximate calculation, and estimates change as circumstances change. I understand it can be frustrating, but being angry will change nothing, so don't let it ruin your day/week/month/year. It's like...

I wasn't impressed with the fit and finish of the non-genuine boot and frunk mats I've seen. The centre console storage bins I'd also rather go genuine than risk creaks or rattles, but I concede that the aftermarket ones may well be fine. I haven't found another decent custom fit windscreen...

After seeing how long some people have had accessories gathering dust while waiting for their car to arrive, I waited until my car was on the truck from Brisbane to Townsville before ordering anything but Australia Post was quick (for a change) and everything still arrived before my car. Can't...

For info of those with regional deliveries, Tesla will not provide you with the car transport company's name or the booking reference. They say that this is for privacy reasons and because the carriers were getting too many calls from customers, but I have bought multiple cars from interstate...

[email protected] for Brisbane. Not sure about GC, but I assume it is goldcoastregistration@...

I got a text and an email, but it was a day or two after the invoice appeared in my account

I was automatically assigned a car from inventory after changing my design online (it happened at about 2:30AM, so I doubt it was matched manually). Some, like mine, are ready for immediate delivery, and others are still on a ship on the way here. As Tesla builds in batches, not to order, these...

No dice. Tried rego and VIN. Will just wait for the call I guess. I wasn't expecting the car for months but now that it's days away the waiting is killing me 😂

Anyone know if there's a particular car carrier that Tesla uses for regional deliveries? I haven't heard from the trucking company yet.

With a previous vehicle purchase, I called, increased the transfer limit, processed the transfer in the app while still on the phone, then had them reset the transfer limit once it was done.

You can check your rego expiry online by VIN in QLD. That doesn't appear to be an option in WA; only plate number there.

I've had to borrow the mother-in-law's Kia Rio until mine arrives. At least I'll appreciate the Tesla even more when I get it now...

No, not quite. I'm sure yours won't be too far behind now though. My car is showing as registered now. Looks like they don't register it until just before the truck picks it up for regional deliveries.

I literally just got a text whilst typing this.

They said it's normally 5-7 days, but were estimating more like 7-10 days due to the holiday period. No carrier details but they said the carrier would contact me.

Mine is meant to be picked up from Brisbane today to be transported to Townsville and it's still not registered...

You absolutely could. That's what I did for my end of July order, and my car is being sent on a truck to me on Monday. I changed from black to grey and the car was automatically assigned to me.

I changed my order to match an inventory car and got a call the next morning asking if I could pick it up within 7 days. Finance being paid today and then it should be on a truck to me, arriving before Christmas.

Allianz was the best for me too. $97 per month for any driver, no excess for glass, unlimited hire car for all insured events, choice of repairer and agreed value. Youi was by far the worst at $348 per month ($4,176 per annum!) and they charge a $50 excess for glass, hire car only for theft...

Community First Credit Union have 4.49% variable or 4.99% fixed. CommBank have 3.99% variable.

Anyone looking at trading their car, I recommend trying Dutton Group. They just bought my Camry from interstate for more than I paid for it over two years ago. Made a tidy little $10 profit 😁 Should have clear funds by Tuesday ready to send on to Tesla for my Friday deadline. It's all getting...

Awesome. Our cars might end up on the same truck to Townsville then.

Just got a call from Tesla. The car has been assigned to my order. I now have 7 days to make payment, and they'll book it on a truck once full payment is received. Looks like I might be getting a Tesla for Christmas! Screenshot for the sceptics.

I don't doubt they exist, and have dealt with plenty on other forums over the years, but the usual aim of trolls is to provoke a negative emotional response. If they're trolling, they're not doing it well.

Maybe, but I don't see what they'd gain from it, and it's not the only time I've heard of inventory cars being assigned to existing orders after changing specs. I'm not real fussed about the exterior colour or wheels as long as I can get a RWD with white interior. I'm also not in a huge hurry to...

Well the one in BNE is no longer available. I was working a night shift and noticed it disappeared between 3 and 5 am. I wonder if it has been assigned to my order or if another night worker has bought it...

Interesting. There is one in Vic and one in SA (possibly the same car?) in the same spec as my order (RWD, black, white interior, aero wheels). I have just changed my spec to match the one in Brisbane (RWD, MSM, white interior, sport wheels) to see if it gets matched to my order.

I sent a text to Tesla today asking about having one of the current inventory cars assigned to my order. They responded "Hi, due to a system error there are vehicles listed in our inventory that are not actually available." If that's the case, why are they not fixing it? They have been showing...
