Unfortunately I don't have a photo but it's close enough that it doesn't annoy me when I see the car from the outside, I'm fairly OCD and it doesn't annoy me, it's never going to be exactly the same if you want to stay legal. I was in a rush to get it done before going away for the long weekend...

Yeah tail gate and rear windows are just clear tint, front doors are 35% to get them as close to the rear privacy glass as legal. I think the windscreen strip is also 35% but it could be a little bit lighter, can't remember. All ceramic tint.

I got some from of the fitted style ones from Amazon however they don't seem to be that effective, I still find about the same amount of crap sprayed on my rear doors and the front of that rear wheel arch section that is prone to rock chips. I may rip them off again and replace them with the...

Nice! I went through a similar process to get my SMA inverter with speedwire to work with ChargeHQ using their push API. The extra complication I had was that my solar system doesn't have any consumption monitoring so I had to find a way to install a power monitoring solution to also connect to...

It's not part of NL. Cost of wall chargers and installation have to be counted separately for FBT apparently.

I personally had my side, rear windows and the small windscreen strip done for heat reduction since the UV protection from factory is already practically as high as possible. Didn't do the roof due to the rumours of it potentially causing glass cracking but do have a sun shade to try if the sun...

My NL provider also told me up front during the quote process that Premium Connectivity wasn't able to be covered in the running costs. Maybe it's one of those things that ATO might change in future but it feels like more of a luxury option than a true running cost which feels fair to me that...

Only seems to do it on one particular outer metro road at night as far as I’ve noticed. I wonder if the dark road without much street lighting tricks it into thinking it’s obstructed from time to time because it goes periods of time without seeing much of anything. Haven’t noticed it happening...

Car delivery yesterday, first time Tesla owner. I couldn’t find any issues with the car during delivery, few dirty finger smudges on the headliner but everything else seems pretty good. Car also came with a UMC to my surprise after website said it wouldn’t include anything during order. The...

Interesting if cars are including them (or some cars are). I haven't had the credit email, Telsa website said there wouldn't be a charger included so I'm not expecting one to be in the car. Will find out on Thurs too I guess.

(Not asking for actual VINs) If someone dumps out the list of VINs on the consignment, what model prefixes are you seeing and how many cars are on the ship? You can usually decode it from the first 7 or so characters of the VIN what model car it is. Curious as to what the mix of Model Y and 3’s...

EAP is a software over the air feature so wouldn't impact delivery date, the hardware is fitted to every car whether or not the owner buys EAP or FSD at order time, it's just enabled in software once purchased. Teslas are built in batches of models/colours/interiors/wheels and then shipped to...

Yeah, you'll definitely need to complete all the pre-delivery steps including choosing payment method before a VIN may show up.

The Tesla VIN prefix for Chinese made Teslas. Searching for LRW in the source code helps find a "hidden VIN" if you have one. My hidden VIN didn't appear until I'd completed all of the pre-delivery steps and car was on the boat to Freo. Not long after that the registration application and final...

Has anyone confirmed it was an oversight or cock up and not a conscious design decision due to volume or potentially ramping down Model S/X production in favour or concentrating on Y/3 volume or Cyber Truck? Seems like something you would fix if it was a cock up as you’ve just limited the...

I haven't received the UMC voucher email. I think it's based on order dates not car build dates.

About 1.5-2m extra required. I might just have to get a local sparky to make one for me since I also haven't found anything shorter than 15-20m which is impractical to roll out flat so it isn't coiled up while in use. Sounds like a good business opportunity, get a sparky to make up a dozen...

When did you order your Model Y?

+1 for adding mud guards too. Got some off Amazon while I was waiting. Probably reduces the range slightly but I generally find they make cars easier to clean by keeping some of the dirt spatter down and stop the rear doors getting hit by rocks which is where the PPF comes in handy as Dannerz...

Does anyone have a 15A extension and use it with 15A tail? I have both 10A and 15A outlets in my garage but similar to the OP, the UMC with 15A tail won't quite be long enough to reach where my car will be parked. 10A will but obviously 15A would be better if I could make it reach the extra metres.

I think Tesla are rolling out quite a few chargers on the East coast partially funded by NSW govt in NSW if I have heard correctly. I think part of the problem in WA is how long it takes Western Power to do network augmentation such as installing Transformers in preparation for DCFC sites to...

Just got the ready for delivery sms! Delivery on 25th, nothing available before that date now.

Wonder if it's done roughly by order months to give priority to people who have been waiting since last year, would seem fair. I'm a Johnny-come-lately to this party so expect to be towards the end of the queue for a delivery date.

Won't be the first or last site either, WA EV Network is showing more signs of progress at Albany and will have built Southern Cross before Tesla even turn a shovel. By the time those two are done, we will probably be still sitting around 1:300+ stalls to car ratio.

I think it is, when I logged into my account it still shows the payment step isn't complete. I'll chase them tomorrow to make sure they are going to deal with it in a timely fashion considering I have sent them in the invoice twice in the last two weeks.

Haven't got anything yet. I'm assuming the leasing company is dragging the chain on paying the invoice.. time to issue a rocket tomorrow.

Yep, seems to have changed today. Was 9 - 30th from memory.

I also picked up a UMC while I was waiting so I wouldn't be caught out from day one if the car didn't come with one based on the message on the order page. If it does actually come with one, I won't be too mad as I'll just leave it in the car as the road trip/travel charger (along with a Type 2...

Using LeasePlan/SG Fleet. They have been reasonably good so far (probably just jinxed it) however just a bit slow for some of their process and communications, the quote and authorisation process was pretty straight forward but did take quite a long time for finance approvals and bits to be...

I haven’t received the email about charging solution credit, I’m assuming I missed the cutoff ordering in March when the website was already updated to say you won’t get a charger included with the car. The credits are possibly going more on order date than build date. 26/02 build, ordered 28/03.

Yup, plenty of YouTube videos showing that, is it more of a Fremont/Texas issue than Shanghai and Berlin though? Black paint standard in a hot climate like ours and forcing people to pay a lot extra for white would not have won any friends. Sorry - dragging thread OT.

I didn't say it was, has just been a complaint I have read where some people think it's softer for some reason because they "think" it chips easier when in reality it's probably just showing deeper chips more obviously than may be noticeable on a darker paint. I can't recall seeing many chips on...

I'm just going to pretend the blue/white at the end of the row is mine. :cool: Actually looks quite good from a distance without the gemini caps on.

I think the white looks nicer up closer than it does from further away from what I've seen. It's a bit like my Mrs white car, from a distance it looks like a plain flat white until you get closer and see the pearl when light hits it. I did consider the white but was concerned about the claims of...

Variety is good and I don't have any issues with white, it's a nice pearl white, I suspect there will just be a heavy weighting towards the white with black in the first batch of MY LR's due to the Fringe Benefit Tax exemption limit - it's the only cost option that fits under the threshold for...

I'm sure there will be a decent amount of White with Black interior Gemini MY LR's in the first LR shipment to make up for it.

Has your VIN appeared in RAV yet? Mine wasn't listed last night but is this morning, not sure if it gets updated as they get unloaded or if it's just done in a big batch for the shipment.

It's definitely the Teslas. I can tell from a screenshot I took and ran through Photo AI that there's a mix of M3 and MY, there's a decent stream of them running over to that container dome now @ 9:40am camera shot.

Where's a drone when we need one. 😂 Mine's out of town at the moment but not like I can really take the hour to down to Freo to have a look at the moment.

Yup, those are the ones I just noticed now that I'm back in front of a computer. That area was empty this morning.

Look to the right most corner of the dock under the canopy roof. There's multicolour cars appearing parked over there in increasing numbers since this morning. :)

Didn’t look like it when I went back in the camera archive for yesterday? Could be wrong since I’m trying to look at the cam from mobile phone and the interface is a bit jankier but it looked like that end of the dock was empty prior to last night.

I’m not convinced they are Teslas either, perhaps they are some of the cars unloaded from Amber Ace moved down to that end for pickup to make room for the Teslas to come off. Assume they have to go through AQIS inspection at the dock before being allowed out of the port so there’s probably a...

I disagree. Those cars weren’t there before sunset yesterday evening. They might be cars moved from somewhere else on the dock down to that end but they seem to have been moved there since yesterday afternoon. The pile is also getting bigger since that last photo so something is definitely...

Didn't realise the Fortuners and most Yaris we get are from Indonesia.

Wouldn't be surprised if it starts tonight to make sure the ship gets turned around and back out to sea on this delayed schedule to avoid any further hold ups. Curious to know how many of the cars are destined for WA vs continuing on to another destination, next port says Thailand on the...

Pilot is boarding the ship now. :)

As [Zombie] says, I couldn't see my VIN until I had completed all the pre-delivery steps up to the point of choosing the payment method. Once it's parked at that step the VIN will likely show up as a hidden VIN or on the pre-filled rego papers once they have been generated and linked to the...

Actually not expected to be at H berth until tomorrow morning (6th) and then gone in less than an hour. Doesn’t seem like enough time to unload a few hundred cars in that time so guess the times might change.

She’s in the outer port now and should be in H berth shortly. Freo ports site is showing expected removal from OPL to H should be occurring right now however I can’t see her on either of the port cameras at the moment. (2:15am however the camera feeds look like they are delayed by ~25mins and...
