Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[dronus]

How can you tell the difference. They all just say 2023

The new performance version have red flames stickers coming from the back wheel whereas the GC version have green stink lines

Still Jan 20 - Feb 10

Sorry , just had to.....
What year?

I would have thought that Tesla Australia’s cash flow would have dropped to such a trickle by now that Elon would have put on his personal butt kicking boots and gone looking for targets.

If you do the math that’s a lot of hardware that’s been built and losing them money every day sitting in car yards.

Any idea what brand/model tyres are coming with AU M3s these days?

But next months sales figures are going to be impressive

Ahh of course - I should have known

 

[Rosier]

I had to take my parcel shelf out so i could put my mountain bike in the car.

Kind of related.

No tether points

What car is this? Looks like an SUV or a wagon with seat back tethers

ZB Calais sedan. Yep tethers are on back of seats, never been used haha. But if you did, you would have to remove this shelf

Meanwhile Firmament is about 500 km from Brisbane. Tomorrow it will be there and in range of terrestrial AIS.

FA needs dual motor or at least some acceleration boost. Or perhaps they’re having some range anxiety and have slowed down for aero dynamic reasons.

Hankook Ion Evo on the 19" Nova wheels.

No idea about the standard 18" Photon wheels

Can’t you just fold the seat down a little, feed the belt and clip it from inside the boot without needing tools? I bet if Tesla had another hook/loop pointing down towards the boot floor, they could’ve made that argument.

I bought the Nova wheels mostly because of the Hankooks.

The standard wheels come with e-Primacy 235/45 18s

Hmm not sure. The shelf kinda locks in.
Yeah wouldnt need tools, it would just be a PITA. Ive never tried it and never will in that car!

Vote with a like for no more @dronus leg shots

Not enough votes, one leg is getting shaved…

I had a quick look at my Mazda 6 GL sedan. It has a quick access flap on the shelf because the tether points are mounted upwards. And all three tethers are bolted on with an 8 mil bolt.

So there you go, a quick fix idea, get some bolt on hooks and bolt one facing down and argue the “tool-free access” is by folding the seat down. Right now they can’t argue that because it’s not possible to safely attach a tether from underneath.

Driver testing whether it stops in hump or not? Or was he trying to adjust parking position and swiped the screen in wrong direction, ended up going forward instead of reverse?

CarWow almost hit the car in front of him during parking test on this video

I always find it weird when they say on the news that a car drove thru a shop front because the driver pressed the accelerator rather than the brake. Good luck in s highland!

My other-other spare car has threaded holes covered with caps in the parcel shelf but no mounts. The is only a centre tether. This is standard in s VZ. Im assuming you would not only need the mounts , but you would need tools to screw them in? How is this compliant?

 

[dronus]

Btw that thing clipped into the centre tether is a dog restraint thing

Maybe the rules changed after 2004, back then we had to think for ourselves, use initiative and take responsibility for our actions
