Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
There was a post earlier that said if you are viewing on your phone you have to turn to landscape to be able to see the signature line. I ordered on 26/11/2022.
i for one will be well peed off if anyone receives an MY before my M3 order......
I bet you they have a "Model Y team" operating in a vacuum on the singular goal of the Model Y launch without a thought about Model 3s.
I am sure they are more than happy to stay in closed loop working condition then getting locked down at home with no income.
Tesla's Australian website now confirms that cars built for our market from June will no longer be equipped with radar.
Contrary to the assurances given by that page (and Musk), anecdotes from Tesla Vision owners overwhelmingly suggest that it performs noticeably worse. Even after a year of updates, camera-based Autopilot users are still putting up with:
Musk is promising that Tesla Vision will eventually surpass sensor fusion but there's absolutely no guarantee of that ever happening. Even if it does, how many years will we have to wait? Tesla Vision is clearly inferior and apparently Tesla agree because they still haven't updated radar-equipped cars to use it. In fact, it looks like they're already planning to reintroduce radar in the near future.
I was really hoping that the car I ordered in December might come with a radar but I guess I'll have to settle for Tesla Vision. Hopefully it'll improve over time. If not, maybe one day we'll have the luxury of paying for a retrofit.

- A much higher frequency of phantom braking events and Forward Collision Warning false positives.
- "Camera blocked or blinded" errors in direct sunlight and light rain.
- A slower maximum speed (140 km/h here, so at least this won't affect us).
- A longer minimum following distance (very annoying in stop-start traffic).
- The notoriously terrible Auto High Beam feature (camera-based Autopilot won't work without it).
- Not being able to manually set the wiper speed (camera-based Autopilot requires them to be set to Auto).

It's gonna happen for sure mate. Different batches
doesn't matter about build plan , it is the shipping schedule that bothers me

I've got the 32amp pigtail that I bought online (EVSE Adapters – Electric vehicle charging solutions, adapter cords for EV, RV, welders, and more. Charge anywhere.) for what ended up being $116 AUD, I bought the 5 pin socket and switch on eBay for $42 from a Melbourne wholesaler, the electrician installed it for a bit under $800 which included it's own 32a circuit with RCB.On the subject of chargers and charging, I came across this document that seems to be in line with what I have read in various places but brings it together well.
Personally, I am going to see how I go with the 10A solution first. But it seems to me that for people running single phase to a Tesla wall charger they can get the same 7kw charging with the 3 or 5 pin 32A pigtail and the similar socket on the wall for $400 - $500 less than the Tesla wall charger. The electrical install will be the same, the pigtail costs $175 and I think the socket costs $50 -$80, versus $780 for the wall charger. Or have I missed something?
I believe new orders made for Model 3 are showing 8 - 11 months from order date fitting into that delivery date window you've noted

Ding ding ding. I just worked out why there were 150-200 "demo vehicles".

How do you mean? Feb - May 2023 is 9 to 12 months. It's only 11th of June. "February" incorporates anything up to the 28th. "May" incorporates up to the 31st. So it's 9 (minus 11 days) to 12 (minus 11 days). Or 8 months and 17 days to 11 months and 20 days.
In 4 days it'll switch to March 2023 to June 2023. It's spin. And was probably a whole meeting.
Tesla only counts a sale once the vehicle has been signed over into your possession.
Oh wait. I thought this was referring to Q2! They delivered a whole bunch of RWDs in Q1. I think a significant number.Report that Tesla M3 outsold all rivals in Q! 2022
