Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[j4rryd]

Having never watched one of those fly overs before I feel perfectly qualified to say there sure was a lot of white sitting there and all our cars are definitely right there. Think I saw mine at 2:34. Probably be here tomorrow.

Wu wa drone fly over Shanghai giga is out. Here

Seeing some nice red Model 3's in there... I wonder how many are Model 3 Performance in red?

Some of them are still LHD I think 2:58

Notice the LH front seat occulted here (white interior).

There are also some sections that are mainly black so maybe some sections still left over domestic market?
Other sections definitely white is the most common.

Amazing to see it so quiet (compared to other videos)

You dont find your heel slips on the mat?

No, never had that problem even with wet shoes.

 

[Maximillan]

Couldn't imagine waiting that long for such a bland product. Drove one recently and was shocked at how lacklustre it was. Practical, but so is a washing machine.

I've tried that twice (2019 and 2021) on a Cruiser AWD, twice had my deposit returned. Agree that the RAV is super practical, however it's a nice drive as well. The 2nd cancellation resulted in me ordering my Model 3 and I've never looked back.

Got our EDD of 8-18 August (Breezy_1974 we’re in Melbs). Right smack bang in the middle of our interstate holiday (that we postponed twice as it was going to be a roadtrip in the Tesla, but eventually decided to fly) DOH!

Gday Greyalset, I bought my mats from "Crazy Victor" on eBay; they look to be of good quality but of course I don't yet have a car to try them out properly...

Yeah I bought from them too, good quality and price. I was bit concerned with the boot mat when they said they fold it into quarters to post out but I left them out in the sun and after few hours no more crease.

 

[maxb]

They look sharp!

My friend swears by them, reckons there good.

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

Mine will go in when the shed goes up, ‘cause then I can finish cleaning our the garage and move stuff into the shed.

On a positive note:
Took the M3P for its first long run on Thursday.
Narangba to Bunya Mountains via Indooroopilly , and then back via the same route.
Started with a 100% (490km) charge. Navigation recommended stopping at Toowoomba Supercharger on the way up for a 10 min top up ($9), and on the way back for a 25 min one ($21). Got home with around 140km range.
4 hours driving each way, with some great highway sections and great uphill and downhill winding sections. Overtaking is a breeze with all that power on tap, and the handling is superb. Regen braking is awesome on the winding sections as you can use it like trailing throttle into corners only using one pedal. Muchos funnnn.
Comfort is outstanding, with the only things I'd add being decent side bolsters on the seats and a slightly interior larger rear view mirror.
Overall, in my opinion, every bit as good, if not better than any of the various BMWs I've owned over the past 35 years.

I know the feeling. I booked Noosa for August to try out their 22kw destination charger. I will be there but the car (most likely) won’t.

Looks fabulous. Any treatment ceramic/PPF?

 

[MickV]

Yep, think Tesla is bad? Look at Toyota..

Hahaha. LC70. ‘4 years or never’ I love it!

 

[NoTimeToLose]

I just ordered the Gen 3 wall charger.

Tinted and ceramic coated. Haven’t checked for chips yet ….

I think these are possibly your RHDs at 1:48. Paperwork on the left dash (see 2nd photo). About as many as the vin allocation.

At 2:50 you can see a driver on the car carrier get out of the left hand side (also attached - 3rd photo) and the paperwork is on the right dash.

Attention to details!!! Wow

I would disagree. My Model 3 is in for repair, and the other guys insurance gave me a new RAV4 hybrid as a rental. It's a piece of *sugar*. Even my gf commented how it feels like something from the 1990s inside. Lots of nasty hard plastic, the infotainment is a complete mess, the car is slow, noisy (sounds like a diesel), the suspension and handling is *sugar*, it's not that big inside. I refuse to believe that anyone who has driven a Model 3 for similar money would buy a RAV4 hybrid over one.

Good spot. I think you're right re: Paperwork.

I count 88 cars in that yard. Likely more on the chargers next door.
I can see some LR wheels but most seem to be RWD.

Oh another Wu Wa video out!
