    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    I am not sure what they did to fix mine but I have driven another 2200km or so since and it hasn't come back. But the driver seat noise has, it isn't as bad as it was but it is slowly getting worse again.

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    Mine wasn't as loud as that and would usually happen when turning slowly (like into a car park). I took it into Tesla Mulgrave during the week (also for creaking front seats) and the technician said it is not that uncommon and a fairly quick fix. So far I haven't had it happen again.

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    I haven't done a huge amount of night driving but so far I have had I believe 2 cars flash me when using the matrix headlights. I have also had 2 cars flash me when I didn't have the highbeams on which got me worried I had them on or it wasn't working so I pulled over to double check which logo...

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    Yep, my car was sleeping (I guess) overnight and when I was trying to connect in the app (android) it just wouldn't wake it up. Once I opened the door I could then use the app.

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    I was told to try and park away from trees to avoid sap and bird droppings for the first week but not that it has to be garaged. Also not to wash it unless its bird droppings (and only with water) for the week.

    not sure what % but its the darkest legal for front and back in Victoria. Yeah I did. I wasn't planning too after seeing photos of it from the inside but as I was dropping mine off they had one that had been done and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting so went ahead with it. Where I have my...

    Australian Model 3 Highland experiences, tips, tricks

    It's great, I am already over 1,300km. The only issue I have is that both the front seats seem to make quite a bit of creaking noises when accelerating, decelerating and taking sharper corners. Has anyone else had this?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I received an SMS when I sent $10 a few weeks before delivery just to test it was all correct. When I sent my bigger payments I didn't get an SMS but could see the date the payment was received on the manage order page.

    UMC updating to 10amps on 2023.26.7

    UMC updating to 10amps on 2023.26.7

    Do all UMC need to be updated or do some now come with 10/15amps? if they don't all need to be updated how can I tell how many amps it will be charging at without a car? I pick up my car on Saturday so if it needs to be updated I am hoping I can get the Tesla team to do it during the pick up.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I received an email & text this morning saying Model 3 Delivery Approaching and Your Model 3 has arrived in Australia. I haven't had any more update to my EDD. Does this mean it is going to be soon or can it still be a while?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    My app has never shown my VIN but my invoice has it so I guess for some reason not everyone's app will show it. I do constantly check it for EDD updates though.

    I have just received my VIN with the Tesla VIN Finder extension. And now have an EDD March 24-April 29. Ordered 27 January RWD Red/Black. Not much different from the original EDD FEB-APR but exciting to have some changes.

    It looks great. I saw one red LR in Greensborough, Vic yesterday for the first time (I think the number plate was also COI) I am happy I have chosen to get a red.

    I hope that happens. I want everyone to have an EV haha. I guess it can be another brand haha. I've been wanting an EV for years, mostly Tesla. I am excited it will finally happen instead of dreaming.

    haha. Just the usual things like not enough range, not enough chargers etc. a few I think would like them but can't afford one/don't want a cheaper one.

    Hi Everyone. I am finding everyone's posts very informative/helpful . I have just ordered my first EV (actually I haven't had any car since 2018). I am very excited even though I will probably have a fairly long wait. Model 3 RWD Red, black seats and standard wheels. Order Date: 27 Jan 2024...
