Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[e-enthusiast30]

Apple pained a MB pro with 8gb of ram, I have it. They use new ways of accessing and using RAM, so 8gb can be as efficient as 16gb. Could be the same thought process?

Yeah exactly, the 16GB of RAM was maybe older/slower and therefore justified on older hardware. It would suggest the 8GB of RAM found on Highland is newer/faster and therefore sufficient for what's required of it. It's really only running maps/movies/games/karaoke/fart noises etc. on the infotainment screens. Unsure how the Autopilot hardware interacts/crossover between tech starts/ends.

Mmmmm high definition fart noises..

The thing that stood out for me was there was so many old people…

They were there for the free tea while waiting for the Pokie tournament in the pub next door to begin.

At the start of that video.. is the EV6 he's driving making that whirring noise on purpose or is that how loud they usually are?

If I was leading the marketing team at Kia Australia, I'd be pretty upset if one of my review/loan cars was used to film the intro part of a video on the way to the Tesla office for the 'unveiling' of a competitor's car. I think I'd be on the phone asking for my car back, and that I'd be blacklisting that reviewer/influencer.

(Don't get me started about influencers... right up there with telephone sainitisers and TV advertising executives. Put them all in the 'B Ark' and send them into space. Hairdressers are ok.)

It would be ok if they did something useful but it appears to have evolved into a very needy and entitled occupation.
Anyone remember SA govt flying influencers to SA in private jets and other airfares to attend a concert which was supposed to bring in tourism?

Was this paramatta tesla? I think thats the guy who did my handover

Considering we haven't received VIN's already it would appear likely that our cars are not on the Morning Crystal. I don't think they'll wait for the next Armacup ship to send off the next lot of Model 3's, Tesla have used Mol Ace in the past, and the Splendid Ace is porting into Shanghai on the 2/12, looking at the schedule it looks similar to when other Mol Ace ships have come to Aus in the past, so never know our luck that we could be on something like this. Only other option is if Tesla book a Glovis carrier that they can get thousands of cars onto, we won't know if this is scheduled until we get allocated VIN's once the ship leaves port in Shanghai.

Also they paid $25 membership fee to tesla owners club for the privilege of being one of the first to see the car

I would hope so because Don Juan is very late getting into Melbourne, so assume is not going to be on schedule for getting back to Shanghai.
Splendid Ace might be worth hoping for....

Do we know Splendid Ace is coming to Aus after Shanghai?

Don Juan is still very likely IMO due to it arriving what will now be probably early Jan... fits in with Tesla's EDD of Jan - Mar 24.. least we can't say they overpromised us when DJ pulls up late back in Aus

 

[Murphster]

There is still a good chance that that the Tesla staff have cars on Viking Paglia. We know that it is carrying customer cars to NZ, apparently they were built on 8th November, and then coming to Aus. So not a huge leap to assume it also has some cars for Australia onboard.

Not confirmed I'm just speculating, the most recent vessel to come from Mol Ace to Australia was Crystal Ace on the 22nd August, when you look at the Vessel Schedule it was in Shanghai on the 27th July, and it shows no port stops until the 24th October. But we know it was in Aus. RoRo - Vessel Schedule

Below is the Splendid Ace, all the other vessel schedules extend out to Feb, it jut appears to have a lot of similarities to the previous vessels that end up in Aus with Tesla's.

 

[Murphster]

I definitely don't like relying on Don Juan atm. He was already 5 days late getting into Melbourne, having been anchored for a couple of days at sea, and although looked set to be heading into port today clearly has had second thoughts...

Why the feck not in Australia?

 

[Murphster]

Probably illegal here. Our State Governments don’t want us knowing the speed limits. Makes it harder to take our cash from us.
