Boss picked up his Black MY Performance this morning here in Brisbane. The ride quality is much better than I expected, I drove his Model X to go pick it up and the Model Y performance is much smoother and more compliant. Oh and the speed is insane. Might need a Chiro.

My other half is adamant on the radar and the new battery.

Question for the knowledgable in here. The other half is adamant that we wait on taking delivery of the MYP we have ordered until the radar and sensor thing is sorted. So can we delay delivery or will we need to cancel and re-order and loose the deposit paid?

Do you have confirmation of this? They make profit on all their cars, the margins confirm this.

Wait times Toyota and Hyundai - Can't order get the Ioniq5 at present

Here is Hyundai. Can't even get the Ioniq 5

Wait times for Toyota's at present, not just Tesla sorry to say. This is just a week old.

When should we expect the first batch of Model Y Performance cars to arrive in Australia? March?

Thank you both for the replies, I have a Caravan plug (still have a van) so that should work well.

👍

I finally bit the bullet and ordered a Model Y. If I were to stay at a caravan park (I stay in a cabin while other family members use a caravan) will the 15A tail with the Tesla charging cable be sufficient? (I understand I now have to buy this separately, sigh) just curious.

Thanks Cafz, might put in the service call see what they say.

Charging a Model X at a Caravan park in Australia I have a second hand X and I don't appear to have the 15amp plug with the car, can this be purchased separately? Thanks in advance

Tried to charge a model X 100D at a caravan park in Stanthorpe last week and the car keep saying communication error, however plugged into standard home socket no problem last night? Is there an adapter you need for this to work properly?

ANZ and NAB have sharp car finance rates at the moment if you are a property owner. If not the rates are higher. If you have a standard 30% balloon then your looking at rates less than 4.50%. Own property - ABN for two years and registered for GST and have clear Tax portal (obtained from...

cs-jacky pics please :D

Roddy54 they didn't admit to it, they hid the software tampering a second time. I have a VW Touareg and my partner a VW Multivan, I had a CC before this. All three were new from purchase all three less than 4 years old have broken down or had major faults. Oil leak on the Treg, Gear box issue...

I paid $6,000 for my drivers assist package on my VW CC back in 2014. This included adaptive cruise control, lane keeping and blind spot monitoring and Emergency braking. I also know my neighbour paid about the same for their BMW 3 Series Driver assist package. So not sure why everyone things...

Quick question is there somewhere that would sell all the connectors and cables needed for Australia as a kit or bundle?

What about oil spills and leaks from ships, overland pipelines and fuel stations. What about petrol tankers exploding on highways (see youtube for over 50 recent examples) what about the toxic emissions from the tail pipe, what about car manufacturers who lie about their efficiency. Where did...

Got to sit in the car in Brissy yesterday after 1 hour wait. I will upload pics later. I have sat in it previously in Seattle and spent a long time chatting to the rep there. It is a great mid size car, I am 185cm tall and no issues getting in or out and the head room back and front is...

Excited I have a reservation and off to see it at 3pm today in Brissy. So RWD LR, Dual Motor LR or Performance?

Yes so frustrating not to have updates that simply will say there are no updates.......at no point was ever promised my car prior to this year. I have looked at all the information on Model 3 and no where does it indicate we would have it before 2019. I have seen the Ioniq at the Brisbane show...

After sitting in a Model 3 in Seattle just four weeks ago (just back from the States) I am waiting. I can't afford the Jag, hate the Hyundai. The build quality, fit and feel of the Model 3 is better than the crap BMW X5 we had hired for 4 weeks. This car is stunning in the flesh and the glass...

What does an equivalent cost BMW or Mercedes insure for? Is it more expensive for Tesla or comparable?

A few pics from the Event held at the Southport Flying Club. Great day got to experience Ludicrous mode three times in a P100DL S and X. Great food and atmosphere. My first official event with Tesla so very stoked now where is that damn Model 3. Anyone else there yesterday?

Have an awesome time and send pics

So glad your ok, scary to watch but very lucky you were in the safest car in the world. Hope the 3 arrives soon. Have a better Christmas.

Here you go taken by a friend who is down there for Christmas

Not sure if this is the right place, Australian here will be in US in April 2018, looking to hire an X or S to drive four adults from LA to Vancouver Canada, however most places charge a huge fee for a one way rental (we don't have that here in Australia) any suggestions for who may offer...

You Mericans so funny, getting all upset over having to wait til Dec 17 for your invite to configure. Think of us Poor Australians and New Zealanders who have months to wait, might be 2019 before we get any Tesla love.

Sounds like an awesome trip. Can't wait for updates

Apparently the configurator is now available for Non Tesla employees with 4 weeks delivery timeframes. So looks like it is finally happening. Model 3 Owners Club have sent me details.

An acquaintance of mine said that EV's are only viable if they can match the 1000 km range of a VW Golf diesel. Well now they do he change it to oh but they need to do 1,200km and change in 5 minutes. I laughed and said I don't know a standard car that can do 1,200km on a tank. I also said you...

Wow, now just need a few more between Adelaide and Perth and I can drive to visit my Uncle in Perth, the easy way.

There will be a traffic Jam at these small towns leading up to the 29th.

Wow, drive from Brisbane to Clare SC all the way, very impressed.

Great pics and commentary thank you.

Thanks Richard McN yes it will be sometime before Superchargers are up across the middle of and North of Australia. Using 3 phase is no issue just be curious to see how much of the network is in place by the time I either get a M3 or pull the trigger on an S. Still need to convince the other...

Yes I was wondering the same thing BenT are all the phase 3 charging points on plugshare.

Great information, Model 3 ordered but if an S comes up used for a good price, may switch. I really want to do a round Australia trip and be interesting to see how much of the supercharger network has expanded at this time.

Ok Ben, I think the Eucla to Perth stretch might be a little tough but this is Australia right.....Caravan parks and showgrounds.

So where would we put chargers to link Adelaide and Perth?

I think a big issue with the Brisbane Service Centre is going to be ICE cars parking in the upper car park area. I was there yesterday and both chargers had ICE cars parked in the spot and they were there for over an hour. One was a big guy with tatts and I was not about to ask him to move I...

Will they have an official opening ceremony etc? If so how does a non Tesla owner get an invite? Model 3 Reservation holder.

I have already heard the screams from the ICE car drivers about $55m in tax payers money and this is outrageous etc etc. So show them this little bit of trivia about what tax payers are coughing up for Fossil Fuels. Tax-based subsidies | Market Forces Puts things in perspective.

Thanks Richard that was a pity.

Excellent news, well done on the mention Ray.

Hang on did I miss something did Alpal actually do the trip? Just noticed the dates for this thread were in 2016.

Young lady showing off the Tesla Model X in Macarthur Centre Brisbane says late August for the opening, she says the supercharger may come on line a little later. So matches what Ray says.
