    [Australia] Turtle Mode

    I got the car back. The Tesla mechanic said they went through the computer log and there was an alert regarding the electric motor overheated when not enough oil flow to cool it down. So they replaced the oil filter and the oil pump. In a US forum was mentioned the connector for the oil pump was...

    I hope anyone that ordered the new cars read the news regarding ships that have EVs onboard will need a new safety measures to anticipate EV catch fires. I think those ships will need to follow the new maritime rules and safety that could affect all EVs delivery across the globe. The news didn't...

    Normally after the ship that carried your Tesla arrived and unloaded some Tesla at the first port in Australia within a few days the VIN will appear in RAV and then you can see your final invoice in the app.

    What I was told, those accessories needs to be itemize to the final invoice which I doubt Tesla can do it. I asked Novated Lease people as well about if buying software upgrades after the car arrived which are not possible. Those Enhance Auto Pilot and Self Driving need to be ordered together...

    I've submitted the final invoice to TFM and I had to sign the new quote again with the price reduction. The interest is still unchanged 8.35%. I hope everything is ready before Saturday, my pick up day. A friend who's ordered a Cupra born is considering MY now after the price cut.

    No one expecting the Base Price cut on the 1st July for sure. It was a surprise but I think Tesla will increase it again that could be next week to gain people attention to get more orders.

    If you don't mind with Vanilla colour and black leather interior plus gemini wheels. The saving is definitely there. Hopefully you can get it faster since lots of people cancelled their order and now probably reconsidering going back to White, RWD, Gemini

    I think 100% FBT is a better deal than the $3k green rebate plus the GST defer. I'm waiting for the final invoice so Toyota can finalise the payment for me to pick up the car on Saturday.

    I've tried driving and testing with auto pilot at first time on the winding road when I was driving around Dandenong Rangers. The result was very scary and that's why I'm using my common sense to decide where to use it. You got to imagine it driving around a bend of suggested speed limit 45kmh...

    Did anyone received an SMS about base price reduction for their order? I've check the Tesla website new order of the same car is about $3.5k cheaper. I'll wait the updated invoice to confirm. I hope it's genuine price reduction, not from green rebate because I've claimed once so not for the...

    Things added to the car I believe we can be claimed later as part/accessories/service on Novated Leases. To be sure maybe better consult with your Novated Lease consultant first. So far with my ICE/Hybrid cars, there are no problems

    I think they work differently with the normal car dealership. I bought so many accessories in preparation. I highly recommend to everyone to buy the mud flaps. It helps so much with less dirt on the car body caused by tyres splashing

    You might have to ring the hotel to find out what sort of charger do they have. If it's Tesla Wall Charger, it's fine, if other brand you might have to ask if it's got the cable or you have to BYO. I bought a 5 meters cable no brand only $170 from X-Car but I also have the Blue Mennekes bought...

    I believe Tesla will send you an email but it can be 1-2 days later. Probably give your SA a ring is faster Sometimes the fund can get up to 3 days to arrive at Tesla
