Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[j4rryd]

it extremely fun, can't help but accelerate past everyone and grin. I think if i had any more power/torque then it would be way too much for me and my city driving. my efficiency isn't great at the moment

not many blue ones around so I get a lot of heads turning which I've never had before in my other cars. it'll stand out even more with the ceramic coating.

I tried auto pilot on freeway and noticed that it didn't take into account the speed limit change even though it read the sign... got honked by a truck sitting behind me in the right lane but quickly fixed that issue lol. It's amusing watching at the screen during red lights and seeing what the radar/cameras pick up.

you won't be disappointed when your cars get here!

I'll have to keep an eye out for you in the blue beast around Perth

From a M3 P Owner, blue on white, I can’t help but agree with this post in its entirety

Have you been in the liquor cabinet again, @Hoopyfrood ?

You'll think it's majestic when it happens! You all will!

 

[Hoopyfrood]

So did we legit just get one random vin today on the 20th? What's going on there?

I thought two?

 

[j4rryd]

Maybe now the shut down has finished we will see smaller allocations (2-3) days at a time, daily?

Not sure majestic means what you think it means.

I'm sure there will be smiles all around though

As far as I know, the car on auto pilot will slow down when it see a sign with a slower speed, but it won’t speed up when it sees one with a higher speed. You need to adjust the speed using the controls on the wheel.

It didn't do either for me.

100 to 80: stayed at 100
80 to 100: p!ssed off a truck driver @ 80

Both times the speed sign was successfully picked up on the screen

We have 2 days of advancement today! Yay

 

[Stokesy]

Well I don’t know then. Haven’t gotten mine yet!!

While I’ve got you - quick question about the indicators.
My partners car has a nice feature I like where if you mostly press it in a direction but not click it in, it will indicate 3 times and then turn off.
Does the Model 3 have that?

 

[Joutsen]

As far as I know, the car on auto pilot will slow down when it see a sign with a slower speed, but it won’t speed up when it sees one with a higher speed. You need to adjust the speed using the controls on the wheel.

Hold the gear selector stalk down a couple of seconds and it will adjust speed after the new posted sign. Otherwise use the scroll wheel to speed up slow down before the sign.

My demo one did from memory. Think this is standard on all relatively modern cars.

Just posted on Whirlpool in Model Y thread:

So, someone in Perth was informed by their SA that orders made from tomorrow in Australia will no longer have UMC included... not sure how reliable this is?

Likely to be M3 too, then? Decontenting going on?

Hopefully this isn't the case, but at any rate, we'll be able to check soon - tomorrow is nearly here...

Time for some good old wild speculation!

So 15/01-18/01 orders for RWD Mostly got vins on the 28/06-30/06

Next batch seemingly started roughly a week later with an order placed 20/01 and if we follow assume the same number of orders placed, this batch might clear out orders upto 23/01..

Hopefully I'll something in this coming week for my M3 W/B ordered on the 22nd
No VIN or contact as of yet.
