... and something less desirable; Tesla traps Metro Vancouver driver inside and then catches fire (VIDEO) | News

People will go insane over that.. But Tesla fires are far more rare than ICE fires.

"Pinfa (Phosphorous, Inorganic and Nitrogen Flame Retardants Association) suggested around 55 fires per billion miles traveled in ICEs compared to 5 fires per billion miles traveled for EVs. A recent study conducted by AutoInsuranceEZ using data from the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) showed that electric cars in the US caught fire at a rate of 25.1 per 100,000 sales compared to 1,530 for ICE vehicles and 3,475 for hybrids."

EV Fires: Less Common But More Problematic?

IDTechEx Research Article: Fires in electric vehicles (EVs) certainly gain a lot of media attention in comparison to their internal combustion engine (ICE) counterparts. But a crucial question for the future of mobility is whether EVs are actually any more likely to catch fire than an ICE...

Doesn't really look like a battery fire - probably dropped a cigarette on the seat - it went out far too quickly for the actual pack to be on fire.

Just to keep ya'll extra salty...

This is messing with my brain!!!

Congrats to you guys/gals getting cheeky deliveries from demo allocated stock. It kinda seems pointless to allocate stock to centres for demonstration when the number of people ordering sight unseen is huge! As well as the mass backlog of orders! Welcome to the fam!

Well that’s great news. Hopefully us 14-20 weekers may actually start getting VINS / delivery days within the next month. Not holding my breath though.

 

[stev05]

I ordered in March and have a 6-9 month delivery time haha. Like watching the grass grow

Yep, same.
I missed the 5 - 7 month delivery by 1 day (I think).
Ordered mine on the 15th of March which is the same day the delivery time was extended.

But you'll be on the shorter end of the 6-9 month estimate

It’s supposed to work that way, but a mate of mine got his RWD months ago, in the last shipment, and he ordered his 6 weeks after “old_geez” who ordered a P and gets his in a few weeks. It seems the P and LR versions were delayed.

Yeah right. Mine is a RWD. Standard white with black seats like 99% of the Model 3s out there haha

 

[illesornayr]

SR+ Black on Black, ordered 17/2, days after the delivery extension it seems. Doesn't appear to be many black orders out there so I'm hopeful that one might magically appear super early

Maybe this is old news, but I found a different site that can give you the position of a ship within a few hours. What I had been using could only give me current position when it is near to land. Just google ' "ship name" current position ' and look down the list of hits for shipfix.com. e.g. 'Turandot current position' and you should see that 4 hours ago it was north of Wewak. Do all the cars get offloaded in Port Kembla and then trucked to Melbourne and Brisbane? That would explain why they told me 2-3 weeks to delivery and others are saying 24th June - 30th June. Exciting isn't it. Are we having fun yet (again). (I know, easy for me to say now that I have an imminent arrival).

This seems to have stopped working today. Last position I had for Turandot was east of Townsville. It is due into Brisbane tomorrow.

Yeah i was using Shipfix for the Sat positioning but it's down.

Clara seems to be hanging out in the anchorage for a fair while! Hopefully Tesla called Armacup and was all "Just let us get these 5000 M3s done and swing by on Wednesday ".

Anchorage is busier than the M1 after a 15 car pile up.

 

[Hoopyfrood]

WTF?

 

[Hoopyfrood]

WTF?

Oh. Premium connectivity expires April 22nd. Must have been filmed on March 22nd.
