Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[danwale]

Weird... wonder where they were going??

It just seemed strange, I would have thought they'd go up the coast, maybe some restrictions on truck sizes on certain routes, I've never really paid any attention to what size trucks I see on what roads besides knowing they can't use suburban roads

Yeah, true.
Well, the polly pipe would definitely be out (for obvious reasons!)

Some news for South Aussie residents. I received an email from my SA in reply to a query.
"Yes, some great news that your pickup will now be with Tesla Advisors on ground in SA at Lum Street Airport! The team will reach out to you closer to pickup date to confirm details" So he means one of the units in Lum St at Adelaide Airport

ooh.... who's willing to do reconnaissance with some binoculars??

As long as it avoids this bridge How Many Days Since The Bayswater Bridge Has Been Hit?

 

[rtvanda]

Yep, it's another mystery. I have seen in past that Tesla only talks about the 0-100 figure and hardly ever talks about the motor specs. I think it's due to the fact that they can make the car faster or slower with just a software update.

I'm curious about these motor qualities and differences.
my LR has a "K" motor [dual, hairpin], which shows on RAV as 366kW.
that seems way more than other motor types mentioned above.
What are the implications??

Yep, that bridge is a disaster!
Least it's coming down soon....

That IS interesting.
Is that more kW than the motor in P models???

Quicker speeding fines? .. in theory, more power, if not used to its fullest, should mean longevity...

After getting my VIN yesterday and accepting Tesla vision, I just saw the final invoice and an EDD of Sep 7-21.

I'll cancel the order soon so it can go to the next person on the list...

the 366kW should be the combined total of the front and rear motors on the LR

My order is the same spec
it'd better not go to me, @miwa Melb ... I've not decided which I want yet!!

 

[rtvanda]

Don't Know.
need others with more knowledge than I have for answer.

[B]Redrum[/B] says more speeding tickets in it though.​

Don't have the figures to hand but from memory Performance has an extra ~15kw on the rear motor, from motors for LR and P are the same kw. That was for 2021 at least, not sure if anything has changed.

One thing is for sure, when I tested LR became clear I have no need nor the skills for the Performance!

 

[PcS000]

Final invoice arrived 16/08/22
Build date 12/08/22
4km
No NSW stamp duty on the invoice

I haven't driven the performance, but I thought the LR was really quick

 

[Redrum]

When I went for a test drive back in January, the only one they had to use was the P.. probably too quick for me to jump in as an every day car after the older cars I am used to, though I reckon my little girl would love the feeling of being pushed back into the seat... have to say, it made my eyes feel funny!

 

[Redrum]

On a different note, has @Ormaus put up a photo yet? I don't recall seeing one.... gotta get excited over these things!

Yes LR shocked me too. Let's see how long my no speeding tickets in 10 years record takes to fall

Didn't he have to give his keys to the waiting room back already
