    The Warrnambool charging was supposed to be open in April but no signs of install yet. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    3k-7k on average depending on the installer, location and quality. Som even go all the way up to 9k.

    It’s very different product to product, vehicle to vehicle. But yes, it’s the same process. Wash, prep and protect. But the intricate details vary (like the amount of swirls, paint thickness, curing time etc). You wash the car, decontamination (clay pad), depending on the paint - 2 star paint...

    My first transfer cleared in 24 hours and the final transfer cleared in roughly 4 hours. But your case, it’s very tight and unpredictable. Hope the funds clear and you are able to pick up your car. Good luck and keep us posted.

    I agree. The best sound system I have ever experienced in any vehicle. There was another post on customising the equaliser. I haven’t read it personally but my partner read it from TMC and set it up. It’s slightly better than the default.

    Have you applied ceramic coating before? I’m happy to order it from Waxit and ship them to you if you are comfortable applying it. It has a different curing time and application. I will be able to tell you more tomorrow when I apply it to my car.

    I’m a part time car detailer and have been doing this for more than 7 years. So I’m comfortable paint correcting and applying ceramic coatings. I’m applying the new CarPro D Quartz which looks to be more durable than the usual C Quartz UK 3.0 (which has been a staple for many detailers).

    Definite yes to PPF as it offers a very thick layer of protection that ceramic coatings can’t offer. But with everyone getting PPF on their Tesla, the prices have gone up like crazy and for the current price, it’s not worth it. If you are doing it on your own and know how to, then go for it...

    All my communication has been through my SA as he gave me his mobile number. He has been very helpful and when I asked about the UMC, he said it’s not included, unfortunately. I asked if he could do something and if there is a way to get it, he then offered a voucher and I was able to redeem it...

    I’m not a huge fan of Autoglym products but heard some decent reviews. If you are applying that, I would recommend something like Bowden own wet dreams or bead machine (assuming you prefer buying it from a store than through auto detailing websites like waxit) as a topper along with each wash to...

    I can never understand that. I was at Port Melbourne yesterday. We were the only pickup in the whole warehouse while we were there for 30ish minutes. They said it’s a quiet day with only 12 pickups but counted more than 200 teslas there. And as you know, we came all the way from the edge of...

    I’m personally applying CarPro D Quartz for the paint (this is their new professional coating and not available to public. If you are doing it yourself, I would recommend UK 3.0), CarPro Leather for the seats and trim, NV glass and wheel coatings for the glass and wheel respectively. I’m not...

    No. I checked with the SA when we go the invoice and he confirmed no UMC for us. However, he was generous enough to offer us a voucher to place one for free. I have mentioned this in detail in my previous post. Very rare for that to happen apparently. We also installed 32Amp plug and got the...

    @RM2023 Depends on your location. I saw another post with MSM and induction wheels pickup in NSW. They got the text yesterday but pickup isn’t available until the second half of June. @JonDarian @KonVS cons of living in regional without a car. Traded in privately for extra $5000. Left the...

    We have only one car and regional. Without a car, it’s almost impossible to go anywhere. Lucky for me the RACV was glitching and the difference between normal and complete was only $50. I reduced the value of the car to reduce the premium but when I went to the showroom to pay, it defaulted to...

    I would keep the glass cover and unlimited hire car. I never had them in my previous cars nor needed them. But many complain online about glass cracking with stone chips driving on highway behind trucks or Tesla taking months to fix the car due to parts availability. Few hundred dollars extra...

    If you open in adobe reader, you can insert signature. Either upload and insert or use the mouse. On Mac, it’s a lot easier. You can sign in a piece of paper and upload it and it’s super accurate. I personally used my iPad and Apple Pencil to write on it. I understand it’s not conventional...

    Thanks. Things are starting to improve at all fronts. Can’t believe it’s all happening and so excited for the pickup. I will post some photos from the delivery center. Good luck to everyone here waiting patiently. Shouldn’t be too long. Wait kills but worth it.

    Strange, indeed. Maybe suburb might place a part as we are regional but no claim in the last 5 years, no demerits and have had the licence for decades. I never got how insurance worked. I lowered the agreed value to $70,000 and increased the excess to $1500 to get low premium. I couldn’t...

    Tesla offered $15,000. CarSales Instant Offer was $20,200. We bought the car 4 years ago for $23,500. So it was worth going through CarSales even though it is a bit of hassle living without a vehicle for a few weeks. Good thing we live within the walkable range from our work.

    When you first place an order, a SA reaches out to you with their contact details. I usually email them or call them whenever I have a question. I called the customer service twice (1800 line) and surprisingly, both of the times my SA was on the hotline.
