I've now had my Model 3 for more than a week and combined with my Media day access (around a track), I feel I know the car enough to write the full review. It's long at 7,500+ words and I could easily have kept writing, but someone has to read it. If you have some time, grab a coffee and check...

Quick question.. I charged to 100% last night to see what I could get the actual range number to (knew it wasn't going to be close to 560km NEDC).. Managed 500km exactly. What have others been able to get? (I have the M3P- ) The full detail is available here - Full charged: Model 3 Performance...

Not my first thought, think I'll see how bad it is in summer, how well remote cooling works to cool it down before getting in.

Hey hey, so I also got the call for delivery today. Very exciting after being fairly deflated in a void of information over the past weeks/months about when I'd get my Model 3. Model 3 is coming Sept 30th, Tesla reneges on unlimited Premium Connectivity - techAU Good news: I'm getting...

Ok so have some news to share.. after getting a little tired of the lack of information I sent another email to the Melbourne delivery team. I got this email reply this afternoon that revealed just how big the delivery challenge is. Tesla typically don't talk about sales numbers outside...

Also have a P- on order and had a VIN which has now disappeared. Given they were unofficial, it's hard to know how meaningful they ever were, but certainly does indication there's some movement (at least by the web devs). Asked Melbourne Delivery for an update today.. got this.. Hello Jason...

Yep, white on white looks awesome in this video. I have white with black interior, got to see it at the media launch, very happy with my choice, but had white been available when I ordered the Perf- I think I would have paid up for white.

Borrowed that from the Model 3 Australia group on FB. This is definitely the most stalked ship in Australia. So far attempts to find a webcam have been unsuccessful.

Tim Chan on Twitter posted this.. Looks like those carriers are being put to good use. No plates means these aren't the first batch of fleet cars. Tim Chan on Twitter

Got it done, like others above, also paying cash, so final screen looks like this. Glad to see Autopilot is featured bottom-left, no doubt an effort to address what was highlighted during the recent earnings call - the single biggest reason for service calls to Tesla is a lack of understand of...

Not sure how others are financing their Model 3 purchases, but we renegotiated our home loan and tonight we signed off on the change. We're dropping the interest rate from 3.99% to 3.24% which is actually a net reduction for repayments, despite the larger loan size. Still expect to contribute...

Ok guys and girls, I was editing the footage from the track day on Monday and found something awesome. After cutting a couple of hot laps, I had a chance to come to a complete top, then plant the foot and test 0-100km/h times. It was only when I dropped a timecode on it in Premiere that I seen...

So after driving home 7hrs from the press event today I editing the Gopro footage into a video. Gave the Model 3 Perf a good test around the track. Scroll to the end of this post (or press End) for the video. Enjoy! Australian first: Track Impressions in a Tesla Model 3 Performance [Update...

Alright, so I just climbed out of the Model 3 Performance at their media launch. There's video coming, but here's my thoughts after 5 hot laps around a track in the Model 3 Performance - Australian first: Track Impressions in a Tesla Model 3 Performance - techAU

Car Advice have their full detailed review on YouTube - Really nice job from Paul here, makes me seriously excited to get behind the wheel.

Pretty great to know the car I'm buying is super safe for my family, but I pretty much knew that before today. Lane centering didn't really get appreciated over standard LKAS from other manufacturers. Obviously they have to rate it based on today's features, but feel like it needs updating once...

I agree.. when reviewing the Jaguar I-Pace, I noted that it had a browser (avail when parked). So I am yet to have have anyone produce this law that says browsers are outright banned.. Understandably until the cars drive themselves, the distracted driver issue means they're always going to be...

Got some nice confirmations today.. 4G, Spotify and TuneIn Radio, no browser :( and a few others. RHD Model 3 Performance on show for the first time in Australia [Updated] - techAU

Just to clarify, that content is directly from Tesla (prior to Step 1).. from Step 1 through Step 4 are my observations about what's changed. I agree with you that the figure should be 261km. Will update to clarify.

After all the big changes today I reached out to Tesla for an official statement. I then updated my post with the statement. Looks like the motivation was international simplification. S and X are also changed. - Big changes for Tesla Model 3 Long Range 620km, white interior and September...

Lol thanks Paul, August can't come soon enough :)

So despite having ordered already, I often visit the Model 3 configurator to check if anything's changed (already had that FSD price change). Today I found there's been another change, not to the core cost of the car from Tesla, but being July 1st, to the stamp duty and on-road fees charged...

Heading to the Richmond launch tomorrow night, hope to meet a few of you there.
