In this week’s local paper, council is quoted saying ‘installation is expected to occur by April 2022’.

Not all areas covered, Blue Mountains in NSW are excluded. Have to drive down to Penrith to meet him.

Bizarrely, after 23 days of a blank screen, I was driving along and suddenly 'bong' it came back on again. Acting like it had never left.

It’s possible they're not lying. My display failed on New Years Eve, they ordered the part on the 4th Jan and apparently it hasn't come into stock yet. My appointment is booked for the 25th, and meanwhile my car's A/C is stuck on 24 hours a day - and so are the seat heaters. Well done Tesla.

I should probably have realised this, but given the time that has elapsed I thought the upgrade would have been available in Australia by now, but it is still not.

It does.

I did request a loaner, yes. Maybe I got one because it's a big repair job, it's on warranty, and/or I live out of Sydney.

Well, I dropped off for service at Alexandria today and got a loan car, no stress. Not a Tesla, but it's got four wheels and it goes, so that's good enough for me, after seeing everyone else's experiences!

Hi all, now that the twin crises of we are nearly bankrupt and we have more cars to deliver than we know how to are both over (I think), does anyone know if the service centres have gone back to granting Teslas as loaners or are we still getting ICEs?

How long have you been waiting? I submitted my cancellation in June.

I found the algorithm. SELECT * FROM orders WHERE delivered = 0 ORDER BY RAND()

Were you stopped at Goulburn supercharger a little after six? I saw both a white and a black 3 turn up. Never seen the place so busy.

I thought he finally had enough. He was a man about to crack, when last I saw him (at St Leonards).

lt was GFF- something. Vanity plate.

Do we care about ‘spotted’ posts? If we do, I met a white P- 4433XX and its owner yesterday in Western Sydney. He said he has only just received it a day or so before - very non-specific, I know. He was an early reserver, non-Tesla owner.

Thread title said in Oz, otherwise I could add a half dozen UK ones... but that’s a very impressive list @ShockOnT

Keep us updated if you do find out anything

Interesting thread idea! Sydney-St Leonards Bathurst Dubbo Heatherbrae Goulburn Canberra Gundagai Wodonga Euroa Melbourne-Richmond

It could be, but we wouldn’t need to be speculating about their motives if they’d just come out and told us.

It seems clear that a certain class of older car has had its supercharge speed throttled. It's likely this is to save Tesla paying out battery warranty claims. What's disturbing is that the company would do this with no notification or justification made to affected owners. It's as if they hoped...

It happens. I somehow managed to go from ‘I am very happy with my S’ to ‘I may trade in my S for a 3’ to ‘I will trade in my S for another S’ without any rational thought taking place.

At one of my recent services I was offered a Holden which I declined. The service rep told me they had to sell all the Tesla loaners to get out of the red. He even had to call one owner and say, 'that loan car you're driving, I've just sold it, I'm going to have to meet you somewhere and swap it...

Yes I put in the supercharger specifically by tapping the charge icon on the map.

More data - not that we necessarily need it - I drove my 2015 85D to St Leonards this morning, inputting the Supercharger into navigation so the battery could pre-condition. Left 7:12 am, temp showing 8º. Travelled 42km in 1hr 10m avg speed 36km/h. Arrived 8:22am, temp 12º. Arrival SoC 30%...

Yes, the superchargers and the NRMA charger are all in place and operational. Was there on the weekend.

It doesn't say Tom Tom on the map, and I'm parked at work so I can't check the IC. But given that I can rotate the maps on the MCU and the street names stay horizontal, rather than rotating with the map, makes me assume that it's a vector-based map. Edit: Yes in Sydney

I installed software update 2018.26 overnight, and now have the vector maps this morning. MCU1.

While waiting to pick up my daughter from school.

Bought a BMW i3 to tide me over. Then traded that for a used S 85D when the kids started getting too big. Still have my reservation but probably won’t act on it.

I have used and would recommend Sydney Airport Parking | Sydney AirPark (owner Jimmy). Doesn't have EVSE but does have 240V sockets and is happy to leave your car plugged in while you're away. This was before Park on King opened so there weren't any dedicated EV choices available.

In my case, I was given the car half-full. They said I didn't need to fill it, unless of course I run out.

And on that note, why are Tesla giving out Mercedes ICE dinosaurs as loan cars?

I have a RHD Model S and can’t get past the ‘shove it forward’ stage. There is no space between the unit and the front of the yacht floor, on the right hand side. Oddly, on the left hand side there is enough space to fit a few fingers between unit and vehicle, but the right side is nearly flush...

Not sure actually. I spent a week driving a P100D and to be perfectly honest I preferred the driving feel of the BMW i3. The Tesla was obviously crazy fast off the mark, but the Beemer was no slouch either and was more fun around corners. Also so much easier to park. I only switched because the...

Agree, but I don’t think it is just the Model 3 that will cause price reductions in the next couple years. I just sold my BMW i3 (today in fact) against future price drops, and bought a cheap (relatively) 2015 Model S 85D for $98k.

Ha, good one
