Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. Maybe I should drive in Chill mode with the wife and kids in the car, Standard when I'm alone

My kids love it when I floor it

You can also set the steering to comfort, standard or sport.

It's got good feel and I find standard to be well weighted and engaging. Sport just feels too unnaturally heavy.

Interesting article. Whilst only applies to US market could hold potential for other markets.

Tesla customers can now change their configuration and maintain their original price [US only]

Tesla has recently made a significant change for customers that have placed an order but not yet received their new car, allowing them to change their configuration but maintain their original base price. Until now, […]

does anyone in Melbourne have recommendations for ceramic coat?

I'm getting mine done next Tuesday in Burwood. Dropping off the car at lunch time, picking up the next day after work (for my convenience, not sure how long it actually takes).

I'll make some notes and pass on the details if it's good.

I’m waiting for RWD / black interior / metallic blue. Out of an abundance of preparation, does anyone in Melbourne have recommendations for ceramic coat? What I’m looking to know, if possible:

• Name of detailer
• Cost
• Photos
• How many coats / brand name
• How long did it take
• Other details eg. How was their service?

Photos of M3’s with standard blue metallic + ceramic coat preferred before and after shots would be awesome )

EDD: Sep 2022+
Order date: 27 Feb 2022

Affinesse is well regarded in Melbourne.

After taking delivery I'll be driving mine to Melbourne pretty quickly and handing it over to Final Finish in Brunswick for a proper detail and clear protective wrap on the front. They don't know that yet...

Just wanted to say I ordered the exact same spec (rwd blue/black) on the same day as you so I’ll be watching your progress closely. I’m also in Melb and am considering Afinesse to do the ceramic coating and tinting

I was driving back from the coast yesterday and just on the other side of Yass I past a car carrier full of Model 3’s, that I assume where heading to Melbourne.

Thanks all!

Delivery was super simple. Got to meet the SA I’ve been driving mad for 3 months. Basically showed me to my car, helped me pair phone key, then just left me with it. “Sing out if you need a hand otherwise, all the best!”

Just so stoked to finally have it! Hold tight y’all the wait is DEFINITELY worth it!

Affinesse is well regarded in Melbourne.

I’ve used them multiple times. Really thorough work on my BMW M3. They use NXTZEN.

Picking mine up tomorrow and I cant wait! Then straight to the shops to have my spoiler, front lip, diffuser and side skirts installed

I'm getting my NXTZEN done at a Sydney shop too, i'll post after it's done on Friday, just in case anyone in sydney is interested in a referral, with a review too of the service.

Hey all. Ordered a M3P in Red last week - the day the delivery time went up to 6-9 months but luckily just before the price hike. Already stuffed up by not immediately completing the "milestones" - only just done that this morning. Missed the "We prioritize delivery based on milestones completion." in the email She'll be right,

what exactly do you mean by milestones ?
what did the email exactly say if you don’t mind sharing ? Just the pre delivery info? such as adding a card and registration?
