Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Hi, new and future RWD owners, There is a misconception that your Tesla LFP battery should not be charged to 100%. But all the new Tesla RWDs should charge to 100%, all the time.

What? Not sure what you are saying. Anyway LFP battery found in the late 2021 SR+ and 2022 RWD are fine for 100% charge
Model 3 Owner's Manual | Tesla
Learn about your vehicle’s battery and battery best practices.
www.tesla.com
Not ALL the time. At least once per week (ref: owners manual).
congrats !! you started this thread on Dec 02 while waiting (im)patiently for your tesla .. and here comes the day .. write a note about your overall experience once you get your TeslaMines getting delivered to me tomorrow
The wording in the manual suggests to get it to 100% 'at least once per week', so I read that getting it to 100% anytime is ok.
Taken from the manual that I listed earlier:
"If your vehicle is equipped with an LFP Battery, Tesla recommends that you keep your charge limit set to 100%, even for daily use, and that you also fully charge to 100% at least once per week."
Lets not confuse everyone.
On my wife's SR+ 2021 the heated rear seats are not standard but can be activated from the app for $500. It's called the "Cold Weather Feature" and includes the heated steering wheel.
It's a weird Tesla thing how the hardware is already there but you have to pay for the software activation.
I'm not sure if the 2022 RWD's have it activated already?

It's standard in all the models now. No need to buy anymore.

I don't think we'll know until the end, but the speculation I've heard is that New Zealand has some subsidies/incentives ending soon and they are focusing on getting a backlog of orders to them before the expiry - so as a result, some Aus orders may be pushed back.
I checked it - looks like it's not really applicable to LR, only to RWD (but yes, rebate is expiring soon)
LR price in NZ: $84,943 with on-road costs, so not eligible.
I would be careful at the moment.
Hanschow has included the following warning on their website at the moment:
there might be an issue with the new 2022 models here.
There are also several reports that the light show did not work when such a harness was installed. While the light show might be not an essential function, it could indicate that there are other functions that may not work in the future.
Currently under robust discussion in the Moderators private thread.
There is some doubt that this is possible before purchase as Tesla does not allow it and the argument that once someone owns a Tesla, for however brief period, it’s their right to sell it.
Edit: In the mean time like this post to vote to delete any posts seeking to sell reservations, if I get more than 15 likes I will make it policy.
Edit 2: More than 20 likes makes this policy from now on.

Cheers. I reported it.
It may not be a breach of the Tesla purchase contract however, the law isn't always clear cut as my lawyer daughter always tells me. There are such things as to why the law needs to exist and whether the said breach is within the Spirit of such law.
In the end I wouldn't like to see this forum being used as a trading post for vehicles unless of course they want to start a classified section, then go for it.
I just read it as charge it to 100% at least once a week. You can charge it to 100% every night if you want to, however I wouldn't leave it plugged in at 100% 24/7, I don't think that is good for any battery. As with anything, just use some common sense.
The manual also states
"Model 3 has one of the most sophisticated battery systems in the world. The most important way to preserve the high voltage Battery is to LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE PLUGGED IN when you are not using it. "
Note that the capitals were not me, it is written in the manual as such.
Hi All,
Just joined the back of the line for my M3. Ordered 1 week before they extended out to 5-7 months.
Figured I'd come here and find others waiting for their M3 to be delivered, because you know, misery loves company
I know my wife is already sick of hearing me count down the days - and I'm working on 20 weeks max based on what my account says.
Hope to learn some good stuff here whilst i wait.
cheers
