You're not alone. The sound of forehead-slapping has echoed around the community since orders opened.

The glass of the roof is actually hot to touch from the cabin, try it. I think that's where most of the heat is coming from.

If there's anyone on the Gold Coast looking for a good installer for their wall charger, I have to recommend Robina Electrical. I wanted 32amp and had a difficult install, 2 storey house with garage on the far side of the supply box, a 30m run. The first quote I got was $2,100. They got it...

Wouldn't that be life-endangering for you and other road users?

I was disappointed about the lack of DAB, but TuneIn more than makes up for it. Pretty much every radio station in the world.

Yes, I seriously considered PPF, but it only lasts 5 years and really only protects from minor scratches and chips. Getting scratches and chips corrected professionally would cost you less than $1k over that time, so i can't see the value. Like you, I'm getting a ceramic nano coating for $1.2k.

Mine too, apart from one tiny pinprick paint nib. Perfect alignment too.

So you've tried here? Henan Thafu Car Accessories Co., Ltd. - car seat covers, car foot pads

If you're travelling north of Brisbane you'll need a Type 2 to Type 2 cable as a lot of the Qld Electric Superhighway chargers are BYO cable Queensland's Electric Super Highway | Transport and motoring | Queensland Government

There's a Model 3 Qld Owners' group on FB.

Got The Call when I was beginning to lose faith. Saturday 28th 4pm, Brisvegas. Red P Stealth, reserved Sep 2017, ordered within 30min of config opening.

I'd say you don't have kids.

Just too many maybes for me. I have severe, and understandable FOMO.

Stupid question... How do I email the sales and delivery people in Brisbane? I reserved Sep 2017, ordered Day1, red P- cash. Have a VIN and heard nothing. I'm supposed to be on a quick relaxing holiday in NZ and I'm worried about mobile coverage. I need help!

Do you think an insurance company would pay anything if you had a smash injuring a paying passenger? Uber will cover the passenger, but your non-disclosure will void all claims for any damage. I wanted to rideshare my Model 3 too, but found it impossible to get affordable insurance.

Expect to pay A LOT more insurance, if you can get insured for ridesharing.

My 488303 went last week :(

But froot still sounds like a banana.

Put the fruit in the froot.

I reserved in September 2017 and ordered within 30min of the SMS on 31 May paying cash for 3P-. I had a hidden VIN 4883x which has disappeared. All I've heard officially is 'August'.

Yes, it just wasn't clear how you were to use the referral code. It's intuitive to config the car then apply the code. Once i realised I'd screwed it up, i just didn't want to cancel and reconfig for fear of losing my place in the queue (Ha!) and having to wait a month for $3k refund. 1500kms...

I just asked this. Whilst I realise we are speculating, can someone confirm that VINs are registered as soon as the car is manufactured? Or could there be a delay? Obviously, the VINs we have found may disappear or be replaced, but assuming they are attached to the cars we have ordered, can we...

The information in the table is absolute gold for those of us who have VINs, would you have time to update it?

Whilst I realise we are speculating, can someone confirm that VINs are registered as soon as the car is manufactured? Or could there be a delay? Obviously, the VINs we have found may disappear or be replaced, but assuming they are attached to the cars we have ordered, can we say Veda is correct...

Can't see any Model 3s. Those wrapped white cars have exhausts.

Thanks for the great work in helping us try to decipher the cryptic slivers of information we have so far. I was first to respond to the Submission Form, before you added bells and whistles, so to provide better data I've resubmitted a full response. Could you please delete my original response...

You need robust read/write capabilities, so a high quality SD card at a minimum is essential as the US group is reporting failures of ordinary thumb drives. You're also recording from three cameras simultaneously, as well as Sentry mode. So the space required pushes into the 250gb-500gb area...

Absolutely! Shame about the black diesel plume though.

I got an option for custom plates. Entered my plate number. Apparently just have to give them the plates within five days of Delivery.

Vedaprime knows all.

Also, tomorrow is a Friday, and our Config and "almost here" text messages came on Fridays.

I may be wrong, but I think you've got the wrong 'The Farm' there. The Farm Central Coast has its own racetrack. http://writingaboutcars.com/dean-wills-and-the-farm-both-australian-legends/Dean Wills and “The Farm”; Both Australian legends! | Writing about cars

Never going to be a browser. Illegal in Aus. Netflix and YouTube while the car car is stopped however...

I'd say the entire screen filling with the reversing camera would be an indication that you're in reverse.

Like all those other lazy cost-cutting companies such as Mercedes, BMW, Renault, Alfa Romeo, Citroen, Fiat, VW, Porsche, Audi ...and even Jaguar.

Mine's still there.

Configurator change! LR AWD available Base (free) paint is PEARL white No Performance 'lite' Only Performance + at increased price. White interior option with Performance only September delivery Wow!

Ageement to Purchase. You agree to purchase the vehicle (the “Vehicle”) described in your Vehicle Configuration from Tesla Motors Australia, Pty Ltd. (ACN 142 889 816) (Motor Trader Licence VIC: MCT-0011441, NSW: MD 033250, QLD: DL 3964113, WA: MD 26362) or its affiliate (“we,” “us” or “our”)...

Checked source code. No VIN.

Absolutely! Mine has a name already. Like they said on Top Gear "King of the traffic lights"

Traffic drives on the left in Japan, so there would be no LHD cars needed there.

That's the way I'll be going, self-healing protection for the leading edges and ceramic over everything to protect from dirt and salt spray.

The 2019.16.11 US Owner's Manual carries this warning though: Caution: The manual door release is designed to be used only in situations when Model 3 has no power. Whenever Model 3 has power, use the button located at the top of the interior door handle.

Yes KRMS, all of those although I'm going to see the lighting for myself before considering an upgrade. For me, an essential is labels for the interior door buttons, apparently it's common for passengers to pull the manual release, risking damage to the unlowered window, rather than pressing the...

Quote from AAMI for Performance lite $1182 with $1200 excess $95k value and windscreens. Got an online quote from same for SR under $1k with $600 excess and windscreens.

I bought a set of Basenor wheel caps from Amazon for U$50 and had them shipped via Aus Post Shop Mate as Amazon US doesn't ship here . Cost A$35 including $10 discount just for shipping. Never again! All these accessories are made in China anyway. I wish I'd seen TapTes, a HK company that ships...

TapTes is a Tesla accessories wholesaler that sells on Amazon US, so you can read user reviews on their products. They're HK- based and ship to Australia for free.

Apia (yes, I'm over 50) quoted $1209 for 3P not+ including windscreen replacement $650 excess $95k value.

I just can't see $6,200 value in bigger, less efficient wheels and better brakes when there's good looking wheels under the aero covers and brakes won't be used much with regen. Track mode with higher top speed is sure to increase insurance; and spoiler, brake covers and pedals can all be bought...
