Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
I got the same email. So pissed off. I already have my finance approved and I'm scheduled to take delivery in 4 days (they literally settle the invoice 2-3 days before delivery, so I don't have time to organise anything else even if I could.)
I'd previously seen emails suggesting that this would apply to vehicles delivered from 1 May onwards. I've emailed back to check if this does actually apply to me.
Update:
Thanks Pepper!
That's a positive update. Looking at Tesla's site, it seems that when you Calculate Financing (as if you were to buy one, again), the rate listed in the calculations is now 3.99%. So it's inevitable that the other two are definitely planning to adjust to this. Or Tesla is calculating at worst-case scenario.
My first batch of accessories just arrived from Tessories. I now have a sunroof and a lower boot mat. But no Tesla to put them in for at least 4.5 months

Did exactly that on my test drive. Scared the sh*t out of me. Saw a suggestion to set the cruise control to current speed rather than speed limit, which the car was set to, at least initially.

Looking forward to the retraction and apology to Tesla from the Daily Mail and news dot com.According to Drive.com this is all an unfounded rumour.
EXCLUSIVE: Sydney house fire not caused by Tesla electric car, authorities confirm
Despite media reports to the contrary, no electric car or charging system was located in a Prestons home which caught fire overnight.www.drive.com.au
I'm curious. The Morning Clara apparently departed on Friday (1/04) heading for Australia. Are there Model 3s on that or was that filled by other brands such as Polestar or MG?
Missing the key point. Mercedes gives you neutral, so it is annoying but not unsafe ( I saw a post that says that Tesla got the stalks from Mercedes originally for the model S, so that's maybe why the model S gives you neutral and the Model 3 doesn't). The Tesla gives you reverse (for a wrong left blinker) which could be unsafe. I'm constructing my email to send to Tesla, If they consider they don't need to do anything then so be it. But I suspect the American designers are probably not aware of it. I feel a responsibility to point it out to them rather than wait for a pedestrian to be injured or worse. Probably won't ever cause me personally to have a serious problem, but it might (or one of my children borrowing the car). Why do we have lane departure warning/correction, can't most people drive between the lane lines most of the time? You see the simillarity ( I love lane departure warning in my BMW, looking forward to also having correction in the Tesla).
Not sure, but I was under the impression that the next manufacturing run of M3's due for Australia was due to commence later this week.
Haven't got the email from Pepper, but given that I am looking at July - Sept delivery date... it's only a matter of time... not idealI got the same email. So pissed off.

I do believe this issue is now redundant in the new Model S and Y with the new steering yoke. Will be interesting to see if this makes it way to the Model 3 in time...I understand that you trying rationalise it, but, as I said, I got real situation this Sunday on the parking lot, and nothing stopped the car from going in reverse. I was lucky that the nearest object was ~3 meters behind me. Please stop explaining me how the car was fine, and I was wrong, that's some "teslasplaining"
I'm pretty sure that there are scenarios close to mine (switching different cars often, Tesla 3 not the main car) that would lead to accidents, it's just a matter of number of cars sold. Could be easily prevented with proper design - sound warning or gear stalk behaving in different way to blinkers (for example, requirement to pull the lever before moving up/down).

The Shanghai lock down is likely to impact all of the manufacturers shipping from that port, it's a hard core lock down across a wide area. It'll be interesting to see if the ships adjust their schedules.
hi everyone
Just got delivery of my M3P, white with black interior.
Ordered 3/12/21
Got a call, there was a cancelled order.
Amazing car, well worth the wait.
I’m now leaving the “waiting lounge”. I’m sure you’ll love the car when it arrives!

replacement kit. Direct from Tesla. Still hoping for a cancelled order - PrinceArnold has kept hopes alive!! 
OK, so AEB works in reverse in the Model 3? I know it does in some cars, but is the Model 3 one of them?
Model 3 Owner's Manual | Tesla
"Automatic Emergency Braking is designed to reduce the impact of frontal collisions only and does not function when Model 3 is in Reverse."
It would make sense given the shipping schedule; it'll have to happen soon.
Curious where you got that impression from though?
My rep told me last week that our M3R still expected in my initial delivery window at this stage
What was your initial delivery window? Mine was 14 - 20 weeks so I'm figuring there's a lot of wiggle room in that 'window'It would make sense given the shipping schedule; it'll have to happen soon.
