Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[blackchocobo]

I don't understand why they wouldn't ship the nsw, and there is also one in VIC to SA.

I know right. But vin has been assigned and it says it’s currently in the boat that’s just docked. Wonder how long does it take from when it docks to clearance to readiness for delivery.

It depends how they are getting thru the huge backlog of deliveries of both model 3 and Y at the DC. It’s likely your car will go to the holding yard at Elizabeth until they can schedule it for delivery.

A bunch of cars getting ready for delivery.

I see they’re getting my one ready for Saturday, if that blue one is a LR…

Scissors, paper, rock for it?

Scissors, paper, rock for it?

Feel like I’m not even mentally prepared for it yet considering how quick the end process happens. All the ghosting then bombardment of comms makes the 3months seem easy. Haha

There is a 2024 Black / Black listing that's just gone live in the NSW inventory - https://www.tesla.com/en_AU/m3/orde...gion=NSW&titleStatus=new&redirect=no#overview - someone should grab it fast...

Cries from up here in Queensland...

There seems to be a big step up in the gloss of the highlands’s paint. Have you had a paint protection applied?

I saw BYD seal in Mount Barker. It looked weird. Somehow, the area becomes very electric, at around 6pm, while driving, I saw 6 electric cars of which 2 were teslas.

Yes, plus ceramic coating and tinting etc.

In that photo the car was pretty dirty too, I was heading back from a trip to country Victoria, I think that was Ballarat ?

I’ve seen a few seals around now, and I’m pretty sure it’s ugly little brother too.
Lots of Kona EVs too.

The Seal looks OK to me. Though I prefer the look of the highland. It's the software and internal layout of the BYDs that kill it for me.

Haven't seen many konas. Also, a few polestars hiding here and there.

Odd one, for anybody that’s gotten the rear glass tinted, is there a random line from where the tint starts/ends, and is it noticeable?

My NL wouldn't include tinting the rear glass, only the sides; and the tinting place said they wouldn't do it (tint-a-car). Others have had it done though.

Yeah I got the disclaimer note from the business I've been going to Oztint. They said they’d do it but warranty wouldn't cover any damage, if it occurs to the rear glass.

I just don’t want a visible line in the glass, from where the tint starts - assuming it’s noticeable.

The roof is already tinted to a point, its not a sharp line, its blended in.

TBH i dont even notice it any more. Im not sure how they would get it to blend and make the transition if they tinted the rear part but they must be able to do it somehow without affecting the rest of the roof tint, or making it darker. My rear side windows are also tinted darker than my front, but i dont notice that either.

I didnt push the point, id rather have warrenty or even better no damage esp if they dont recommend it. maybe other places use different films and have different skills, dunno (I have no skills in this area, but i did watch this video on window tinting which was interesting)

Maybe I’ll leave it for now and just get the windows tinted in the meantime.

It’s up to you, if you head over to the highland tips and tricks thread someone there might have some other info
