Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[NoTimeToLose]

Is that psychologist from a few pages back still here? There's enough material in this thread to get them a doctorate!

In other news, the high point of my day was the delivery of my boot and frunk mats. Huzzah!

 

[Hoopyfrood]

Hey, don't hate on the Chubby cars, Ormaus - I can fit a lot of *sugar* inside them!



So, boys, shall we *moooove on*? (gotta admit, I found the milk analogies entertaining!)

Yeeees Sparkles.

Said begrudgingly but in a jokular fashion so as to indicate familiarity because i am in fact cool with it. And also good moodedly.

Actually we currently have 2 SUVs. When I saw the MY at our local it just looked weird. It has the same lines as the M3 but thicker in the middle. Most SUVs have a very different overall shape that doesnt look like the manufacturer got lazy and stretched it (like adding a section to a SpaceX Starship/Booster). I personally think the size would fit our family perfectly for our 2nd car (after the M3) but we just got a CX-5 (and cancelled the Hybrid Kluger order) because they had 8 actually at the dealership ready to roll out the door.

So, boys, shall we *moooove on*? (gotta admit, I found the milk analogies entertaining!)

And long as no one waters it down *shudder*

Loving the humour, Hoopy!

Oh which ones?

 

[FlyingKiwi]

I just think it seems crazy, you know? UK cars being made and shipped from Shanghai, when Berlin is right there!!!

That would stil be the case for model 3s even if Berlin did start RHD model Ys.

Thanks for the info, Ormaus. Haven't been able to check out the MY yet, as the demos haven't arrived in Perth, but have put down a deposit just in case.

I have a CX8 at the moment, which is really just your CX5 with extra junk in the trunk! But I'm often carting around all sorts of bits and pieces for work, schoolbags, dogs etc. so figure the MY might be more practical.

Going on looks alone, I prefer the M3, but needs-must and all that

Nice, I have had mine for a while, did you buy yours direct from Tesla?

I am now just looking for rubber floor mats Tesla has been out of stock for months, but might have to hold off, the study is full of accessories.

 

[rtvanda]

6600 rt43s. Rt43 is a 1970s Toyota corona model. Modern cars are larger generally.

Rt43 =4125mm x 1550mm
Model 3 = 4694 x 1849mm

Yeah. But RORO ships are also bigger - much bigger, some with capacity for 8000 cars

I've had these ones for 6 months, and have had to hose them twice. I'm happy with them. 3D All Weather Floor Mats for Model 3 – Tessories

 

[Redrum]

For me, it is feeling a bit like somebody walked past a room, yelled out "Hey, what's in here?", somebody else has gone "Dunno, open it and see!" ... they opened the door and went "Oh, well, lets see if these lost vehicles have a home waiting..."

One day.....

You dont find your heel slips on the mat?

According to that page turandot has a capacity of 5846 rt43s, not 6600, so maybe 4500 model 3s?

You guys really need to stop relying on "vibes" in debates.

Without intending to ruffle feathers...we are all waiting.
We *should* be able to be discuss, postulate, theorise, express our opinion without attracting unreasonable criticism.

I'll express my opinion here: there are few facts to rely on.
I enjoy this forum because others contribute their opinions, thoughts and actual past experiences which add to my knowledge bank.

Thanks to those I've learned from and those whose keep me sane while I wait.

Oh which ones?

Nothing special, just these cheap ones from Amazon:

I figure they'll be out of sight most of the time, and as long as they help protect the boot and frunk lining they'll have done their job.

My next purchase will probably be a Gen 3 wall connector for the garage. The retail therapy helps pass the time…

Gen 3 wall connector installed into the garage last weekend.
Now I am left hoping (every time I look at it) that I eventually get a car that I can use that charger on
