Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Julcars]

So...it's April. Does this mean some of you are filled with hope of being assigned a VIN in the next week or two? Fingers crossed for you all!

Not so sure now, Giga Shanghai's been closed due to covid restrictions for a few days now, could be closed for even longer. Once the factory starts up again, how far will the Austn & NZ RHD cars be pushed back then to make up for lost production? And the Morning Crystal is set to sail Shanghai 19/4, so we could literally miss the boat. More waiting I guess but no change in my status so far.

I am one of those. I have resigned myself to being pushed to next quarter though to be honest based on factory closures and the rest of it - my guess is that once Aus production is completed, those who are getting pushed will be contacted. Hopefully I'm wrong and a VIN appears mid-month!

hehe... i think it's the Morning Crystal

So did anyone with Q1 delivery dates slip into April?

Yep. LR ordered in November. I don't think I can handle another quarter slip.

Edit: Sorry, misunderstood, thought you meant orders, not delivery dates

For what its worth, I asked my Tesla sales rep if they were expecting delays due to Shanghai closure, and he said no. I ordered mine Feb 4th and it's still sitting at 14-20 weeks from order date.

We'll know in around two weeks whether the rep is right (how can they know how long the factory will remain shut down?) if this thread starts to light up with "I got my VIN assigned" messages.

The diecast model piques my interest! Any suggestions?

That’s an impressive list

All the Morning Clara Tas deliveries did. Some are lined up for 7/8th April though!

 

[jamesgo]

I've got the Hot Wheels Tesla Model 3. It was around $15

About the car, best suggestion is to get the sunshades for summer months and get the windows tinted for summer.

Also the all weather mats are really useful to have. I also upgraded the interior lights, the ones in the boot/trunk made a big difference, the standard ones aren't very bright.

this hurts to see as i’ve ordered the exact same car in Perth. Where abouts are you?

Toy model is better than I thought it would be. All doors open as well as the trunk and frunk. Rear and front lights illuminate when opening the doors and moving. Horn sounds when opening the doors. Only 'unnatural' sound is the revving of an ICE engine. $21 on aliexpress

 

[maxkonji]

do Tesla 9or third parties) sell UMCs separately? I am thinking of using the UMC + standard port, but would like the convenience of having it ready in the trunk for when I am away. Yes, you could pack it up, etc but I would prefer to have a second UMC and hang it on the wall.

I thought the same but in reality unplugging and plugging in UMC is not a big deal
We do that every 3-4 days and leave it plugged in overnight to a 15amp powerpoint
Overnight it charges approx 280 to 330km

Panel gaps?

I had mine delivered yesterday late in the afternoon. Very happy with it. The outside of the car was extremely dirty and looked like it hadn’t been washed at all. Tesla sent me a coupon to what looks to be a very nice hand car wash about 40km from me. I will use it sometime in the future but I will give it a good clean and polish myself This weekend. I find it’s the best way to closely look at every part of the car and spot any imperfections. I’ve not found anything up to now.

I hope everyone recieves their cars in good time and enjoys them as much as I am.

She’s a beauty congrats! And what a great charging setup you have. That is a clean garage

I can't seem to find anywhere what the car calculates the range on screen for LR at 100% charge. The 2019 used to show about 480km ... any recent LR can share what their car shows... thanks
