Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[X Æ A-12]

Ha nobody specifically just mentioned that I'd heard a couple people have to resort to that and questioned why brand new orders seemed to be getting priority over day 1 orders. Referenced the guy who ordered Dec 22

December 28th is better

 

[Jules22]

December 28th is better

Yeah frustrating but at least I have a kind of an answer now and can go back to waiting.

 

[Moops]

Just signed and sent mine back, was no mention of the final invoice. I expect I will not receieve that until the boat arrives.

Completely empathise with you being frustrated, if I wasn’t a naturally born system breaker I’d be in the same boat right now, or no boat.

 

[SiLENC3]

So it is not Firmament ace?

Yeah it is mate..
Apparently the ship is due here on the 8th - still well inside that window

Can anyone recommend floor mats for the Highland?
I'm thinking either:

or
NEW Tesla Model 3 Highland 2024 Boot Liner Floor Mats Rear Frunk Cargo Trunk Mat | eBay $189 for all mats.

For those in SA sussing insurance.. I called RAA today who did a quote for me over the phone as they can’t do one online yet for the new Model 3.

Full comprehensive with unlimited glass replacement (no loan car) ends up being an $1,802 premium with an $1,800 excess, valued at a very low $68,300 (LR). I’m 32 with no accident/claim history, and the car will be garaged overnight in a decent suburb, being driven less than 5,000 km a year.

RAA have usually been very competitive when comparing them with Shannon’s and basically every other quote I’ve gotten for any of my cars over the last 10 years..

FWIW I did an online quote for the MY23 (which is what they’ve had to enter mine into the system as for now, despite them knowing it’s a MY23.5) in September, and the premium was $1,600 with an excess of $1,300.. so the prices seem to be going up, and up… and up (Simpsons reference for those playing along at home).

Yikes 1300 excess is steep

 

[Jules22]

Yeah no benefit to getting angry, I can sympathise a bit with how complex this is and I'm sure there have been many hurdles with everything that has happened with GC etc.

 

[Tesl3on]

Yikes 1300 excess is steep

Yep, and to keep the premium under 2k it has to go up to 1800

 

[dronus]

i just had an sms saying our invoices will be available in our accounts in the next couple of days

Same situation as you (in Brizzie), RACQ came back at ~1500 with 1500 excess, windshield cover, and 80k agreed value.

Its voodoo magic

Also, the 90 days just ticked over since my last NL finance update so i had to resubmit payslips and blah blah blah. if it goes over 120 days its a new application, lets hope these invoices come soon!

yep, they will keep grabbing more money while they can.. everyone is doing it until we collapse like America

RAA are pretty good, i just scoped around to insure my current NL car as ill keep it for a while, RAA was the cheapest, esp if you are a member.. Im a bit older than 32 but also have a clean history, i had a parking ticket once but thats it. Im pretty boring like that. Anyway, i digress, i should check to see who my NL company is using, but ultimately it doesnt matter i guess

 

[dronus]

With a show of hands, who here is sleeping in the car with their pants off on the first night?

maybe

 

[edy80y]

maybe

I see you read between the lines rofl

 

[dronus]

Im not sure about the pants off bit, but i guess it will be in the shed so anything goes..
