Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Maximillan]

How many items you were able to check in 10 min?

For me the 10 minutes related to the time that the SA spent with me and my new car. I then asked him to take care of others whilst I spent some time looking over the car whilst still in the Tesla carpark.

Hi All,
When you make a partial or full payment is there a way that you can see from your account that Tesla has the funds? I was thinking of making a small payment first, checking that they received it okay before transferring the larger balance.
My White LR VIN 517x delivery date updated from 26-31st March to 12-26th March so getting closer.

Regards,
Stephen

Yep. Send 1-2 dollars and it should show up under the manage section within 1 business day. I did the same thing to make sure the account was correct.

Honked horn during delivery window

Not to piss them off though, they were pretty relaxed on time. Just couldn't see the car so wanted to find it quicker

Dual reverse lights and longer indicator confirmed

Thanks for sharing the videos on the updated tail lights, I like the much larger ring brake lights as well, is this also part of the 2022 update?

Yes, I paid $11 and did show up on Tesla account after about 48 hours

I am so happy and excited for you too!

Congrats on the new car!!!

There were rumours the Model 3 may get ventilated seats as the owners manual was recently updated showing it. Have you/would you mind checking to see if that is an option in yours when you get a chance?

"In the Climate Controls section there is an indication that cars may have ventilated seats. "Enable or disable heated or cooling seats"

Morning Crystal had docked in PK last night, I'm hoping M3's with built dates of 10/01 & 11/01 are on this ship, which matches the EDD 19/02 - 05/03 in Tesla account. I checked with my SA this morning but she wouldn't confirm whether my car is on this ship, instead the following standard scripts:

"The most accurate information with your vehicle ETA will be the timeframe specified on your Tesla account. Once your car has arrived at the service centre and is ready to go, you will receive an SMS to schedule in your delivery date."

Looks like this week's deliveries are all having built dates of 08/01 or 09/01 (from this forum & FB groups), with EDD 11/02 - 23/02, these cars were on the previous Morning Midas ship.

I am also guessing Giga Shanghai was building RHD M3's 4 days in Jan (08/01 - 11/01), some of those were allocated to Australia. Same could be true for this month, as many members reported getting final invoices with built dates 08/02 - 09/02, EDD 12/03 - 26/03. These cars should be on another ship departing Shanghai soon.

The current wait times for ordering a Model 3 in Aus has now changed to 5-7 months on the Tesla Website. I wonder will it impact existing orders where it showed 14-20 weeks.

My guess is the Morning Clara

I hope so, I order my Model 3 RWD 31/1/22 and have 14-20 weeks still showing for now.

Where are you seeing that? I thought that was a brief "bug" where the climate screen from the X/S was shown (which does have vented seats). I can't see anything in the current M3 manual: Model 3 Owner's Manual | Tesla

"The seat icon displays twisting lines that turn red (heating) or blue (cooling) corresponding with the set level." - from your link

I ordered LR in Nov and it was 8-12 weeks. And it was so on Tesla website even a couple of weeks after that.
Guess I’m going to get my car in about 18 weeks after OD.
So I would not be surprised if LR and P models will be affected by this change. I believe RWD are ‘safe’

Nope. All variants are 5-7 month wait.

There were a lot of articles about it. All referenced an updated Owners manual where it showed a pic of both heated and cooled seats. It's most likely a mistake but was keen to get confirmation from new owners.

I'll get my M3 on Thursday so I'll be checking. My expectations however are it won't.

Tesla's updated Model 3 and Model Y Owner’s Manual hints at ventilated seats

A recent update implemented on the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y’s online Owner’s Manual has hinted at what could very well be an upcoming upgrade for the two mass-market vehicles. With the update, the Climate Control section of the Model 3 and Model Y manuals now feature references to ventilated...

There are a gazillion videos on youtube with people who went with the white seats even though they had small children. Years later they still look amazing. Just need to wipe them down every so often.

Videos covering the blue jean marks, red wine, grease, all types of food etc. It's pretty impressive.

Yes But I am also a cheap arse, and as much as I blame the kids I am the worse, Oil, Grease, Mud, they may be easy to clean but it would worry me too much. they do look nice but it would be like using the good china all the time

Anyone here actually managed to get their hands on one of the Tesla umbrellas? Seems to be always out of stock
