Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[edy80y]

If you like white, order it and don't worry about staining. I have a Model S with creme leather and new jeans do leave a slight mark, but it cleans off with a wet cloth or just any good upholstery shampoo if you leave it for a long time.
Since I applied leather conditioner it is more resistant to jeans staining.
The only reason I would avoid it is if you have young kids and you don't fancy cleaning under their booster seats on a regular basis.

I like the look of the white, but I like the look of the black on black more. I wish there were 19" black rims available to order with the car.

I’d value your thoughts on how the new seats might fare up with the holes in them for ventilation? With white seats could crud and pubes be more noticeable?

LMAO

Sweet. Is that like a firmware update that comes out?

Not sure if it’s an update or an Easter Egg that’s always there - found it the other day in the Toybox. It’s called Santa Mode. Your car becomes Santa’s sleigh on screen, other cars are reindeers and people are elves.

Kept the rugrat amused so that’s a win!

It’s there all the time

So, I went *immediately* to go and see the cars now I'm in Singapore.
Not sure why Singapore have the RHD variants in showroom and for test drive already before us!!

In the showroom they had a Red SR and a Grey LR. Outside they had a White LR and a Blue SR that were doing active test drives.

I took a bunch of photos below.

I'd say everything I'd read is pretty true, my only "hot take" would be that I didn't like the finish on the white interior, the black in the LR with the 'alcantara' material was nicer, imho.

How were the 19” alloys compared to the 18” visually? I’m looking at ordering an ultra red highland but undecided about the alloys. I’m siding slightly towards the 19” but it’s hard because I haven’t seen them in person and worried they look a bit plastic.

Hope the toca demos are not on SS Stinktanic

thanks @dronus, I’m hoping I’m not too far in the queue

It will be interesting to see how many they send, hopefully a couple of ship loads with different configurations so there is plenty to go around.

I’m so biased on this. I love the size of the wheel. Think it frames in the car better.
But HATE the silver.
I’ve gone 18” on my order for the black look and better efficiency.

Ha ha ha. I can assure you I’d ***...ing the windows tinted. That’s enough for me.

Thoughts on ceramic coats/paint protection?

I had an order in for a 2023 gray m3 but after a few weeks it wasn’t available so they converted the order to a highland and I’m still waiting.
It would seem that others in this boat (no pun intended) don’t have a ETA as they try and fill these orders as soon as they can.

I get this

Other stuff just updated in my app including owners manual in a new documents section!!!

 

[dronus]

‘Straya version

 

[X Æ A-12]

Yeah your app shows what mine did after order. Interesting about the TBD for the conversion. Fingers crossed for you

 

[e-enthusiast30]

strange.. the PDF version says 'Draft Document - Do Not Distribute'

 

[Murphster]

Have you read it?

Are there stalks??
