How long did they take to appear in your Tesla account? Must have been a relief!!

Glad I found someone else who had to transfer funds manually (post people are doing through financiers). F'ng nerve wracking having to transfer $80K - almost tempted to go into a bank just so someone can hold my hand 😁

Delivery locked in for 10 Feb!! So excited. Also, I saw my first Highland on the road today - a RWD in Blue. Looked awesome.

Mine was on Paganella, dropped off in Brisbane on the 25th. Not in RAV.

Damn

Incidentally, this was my quote from a company in Brisbane: Ceramic Pro ION Package - Ultimate Protection ION Exchange Paint Protection (2 Layer Process - Lifetime Warranty) Interior Protection Wheel Protection Glass Protection Rayno S7 Carbon Ceramic Window Tint (Lifetime Warranty) Total -...

how do people feel about getting the back window section (not the roof though) tinted? Can’t decide whether to do that or just the sides

It is interesting. I had radio silence from Tesla since ordering in September, then on Thursday morning I got a flurry of SMSs: - 9am "a Model 3 has been assigned to your order" (and at the same time, an email saying my car was on PAGANELLA vessel) - 9.30am "your final invoice is available" -...

Yes, dronus must have ALL possible accessories for Highland. Speaking of which, some earlier reviewers of the new car said that you could "customise" the strip along the dashboard, but I haven't heard anything since then. If anyone knows of custom dash inserts for Highland, I assume you would haha.

Exciting times! My LR was on Paganella too, unloaded in Brisbane on 25 Jan. My EDD is also 10 Feb - 17 Mar which seems odd to me since it's in the country

Going to find myself a couple of replacement covers on eBay that don't have TOP TETHER printed on so they match the middle.

For all these people doing pickups of their Highland (lucky people) - have you been using the checklists that were shared around over the last few months? Or are people just signing and driving off because they're so excited to finally own the best car in the world?

Ultra Red is just out of this world. Amazing.

What are vent guards?

Anyone got recommendations for a ceramic coating and window tinting place in Brisbane?

I'm in the same boat. Got my VIN and delivery window a week ago, but no email, no idea which boat it's on.

As of a few days ago I received a VIN and an updated delivery date of 2 Feb - 10 Mar. Haven't received any messages or comms from Tesla at all since ordering in September though. I guess I'll wait to get a message about which ship it's on then?

How does one find out which ship your car is on?

Are we likely to see crash test data for highland? Based on everything I’ve seen it seems like it won’t be retested under ANCAP/euro

If they go that route, I'd cancel my order. But they won't - clearly the anchor point is there, they just need to install an access point, just like on ye olde Model 3.

Hopefully Tesla's local homologation engineer gets the sack. However much money Tesla saved in removing the central tether access point, they've now lost.

Starting to feel like I annoyed someone at Tesla!! 28 September order date but no VIN, still showing a Jan-Mar order date!

Congrats! What was your order date?

Any chance someone can give me a 30 second summary of what happened here? I see lots of chat on stinkbugs but missed the og story

USB-A or C?

No VIN. I’m settling into the reality that, as a late September orderer, I might be closer to March than January.

Ordered LR in late Sep. Still showing Jan-Mar delivery for me

Is it normal process to receive an email identifying which boat your vehicle is on?

I reckon there’s about 3 or 4 of us on here who ordered on 28 September!

Interested to know how many people here have a date range that isn’t Jan-Mar?

Drove a Highland LR today. Some thoughts: - Looks incredible in person. The previous Model 3 looks very old by comparison (particularly from the back). Nova wheels look amazing too. - shifting gears on the screen is extremely intuitive. Couldn’t try auto shift out of park as the car only had...

I heard somewhere that they had to get rid of the vent feature due to safety regulations? Maybe only in the US

I've ordered the 19s, purely because I love the look of them. Range does take a bit of a hit (on the LR it translates to 629km instead of 678km). Worth it in my opinion but it's very subjective. For me, the LR is something of a dream car. While I would be happy with a white paint job and Aero...

Any idea of the cost of tinting and ceramic coating through these guys?

Honestly just wish the M3 came with a HUD. Even if it only showed speed and nothing else. I reckon I'll be fine without stalks, but the lack of a central speedo is a bit sh*t. Having said that I love the clear line of sight you get because you don't have dials in front of you. Feels like a go kart.

I worry I'd never get the door trim back on properly after installing the little puck thing

The UI on that app looks sick

Yeah I checked the German and Norwegian Tesla stores yesterday but they still don't have Highland compatible accessories listed. The main thing I'm after is a roof shade. Might also look to grab that MagSafe holder - is that a S3XY buttons product?

I saw a photo somewhere on twitter today - must have been several hundred Highlands sitting on a dock - it was a sea of stealth grey, a smattering of ultra red and black, lots of white and a total of about 2 blue ones

Yeah, as in - can you buy/unlock AB on the new cars, like you could on the pre-Highland M3LRs

A question for those waiting on a Long Range Highland - has anyone heard whether it will be available with Acceleration Boost? I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be since motors/batteries are carried over from 2023 models, but I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere. I suppose now that it is in...

Well, there goes any hope of getting mine before Christmas then!

Thanks both for your comments - super helpful! By the way I came across this - not relevant for you guys in NSW/SA but for me in QLD this is absolute BS!! Apparently illegal to have a 32a/7kw outlet on single phase unless you hard wire it to off-peak (which means no charging on-peak, and no...

Cheers for this!! There's only single phase at my place so I reckon the 32a 3 pin will be the way to go? I've seen some people suggest getting the 5 pin even to use on single phase, because that sort of plug is more common when out and about. Any thoughts on that?

Also forgive me if this isn't the right place for this, but given a lot of us here a new buyers I thought others might have been doing research on this recently. Does anybody know if you can get a Tesla 32A 'blue' adapter for the Universal Mobile Connector in Australia so that we can use the UMC...

Certainly no expert on this, but based on others' comments you should be ok to change it for now without delaying your order (given none of us with Highland orders have a VIN assigned). Unless you're desperate for a car, even if it does put you back a month or so isn't that worth it to get the...

To me it was 'over designed' if that makes sense. Lots of quirks such as the interior designed to look like the inside of a gym (why?!), with a 'muscle fibre' pattern on the dash and an annoying 'guitar' on the door bins. The rotating screen seemed like a complete gimmick. It has to be said the...

That is good to know, cheers. At the end of the day though I am quite prepared to take delivery and then for Tesla to slash the price the next day. Given recent history nobody could feel aggrieved or surprised by that eventuality.

Check out the owners manual for the new car - does it show ultrasonics?

I was aware this car was coming when I placed my Highland order. Having driven the Atto it is so philosophically different to a Tesla, and it really was not fun to drive at all. I'm sure the Seal (lol) will be nicer to drive than the Atto and the pricing is great, but it just doesn't appeal to...
