Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
Hi Gang,
A bit late to the party, but here it goes.
Model 3 LR - no upgrades - Sydney
order date on the agreement: 30/05/2022
Initially ordered on the 12th of May but got the order date changed to the 30th of May as the original color was black and changed it back to white for the stamp duty benefit. I thought will use that money plus some additional to get it wrapped Satin Black later on.
I wonder, Tesla's page is still showing Feb - May 2023 as estimated delivery time, does that mean the timeline has been shortened by 45 odd days? Maybe it is just due updating and I am being anal about it....

Good to see the older LR orders moving and all the others up to (and including) Feb. Does anyone know what the oldest M3 P orders are?
What happens if you DO NOT ACCEPT the lower kilometrage range? Lose your car and order fee?
I ask as I am thinking, having ordered ON July 8, it’ll be my luck to get “accept that you’re getting no UMC” message when my car comes in in Feb-Mar 2023.
I’m royally p1ssed that I’ve bought an electric car that, without buying a separate charging device for, I can’t efficiently use. Sort of buying an ICE vehicle, then being told I need to buy a fuel tank separately. I get I can charge on a normal plug, but that doesn’t strike me as EV-efficient.
Seeing so many VINs appearing, and checking frequently. Also decided to ensure contact details were correct - shock horror: my mobile no with USA prefix!!!
Rectified, and now ready to get my notification

I'm not sure you want to hear this, but you need the UMC if you want to charge on a "normal plug"
I'm not sure what happens with order fee if you cancel based on refusing to accept the changes. Would be interested to know the response if you ask the SA.
I didn't understand your comment about charging on a normal plug. If you have no UMC (or wall charger or similar), you won't be able to charge at home at all so the only option would be public chargers.
The new Ryzen CPU uses slightly more power to run, so you get slightly less range. I think on the LR it's like 10ish kilometers.

Tesla recently changed the CPU on the main computer that drives the touchscreen from Intel to AMD Ryzen.
The Ryzen is a much faster processor, but runs warmer so needs more energy both to run & keep cool.
That means the official (WLTP) range is now a few km less than was originally promised.
Would you have preferred a price increase?
For many, particularly capital city people, there are plenty of corded EV chargers around that can be used much like a petrol station.
I see a UMC more like a jerry can. And I suspect if you go back far enough they were an inclusion with a petrol car as well.
Had my car for 2yrs and yet to use the UMC.
Did buy a Type2-2 cable and have used that many times.
I'm not a Tesla supporter by any means, but you need to get your analogies right to make the correct point. It has the fuel tank (batteries). They just aren't giving you a jerry can/personal fuel bowser to keep at home.
Fwiw, I reckon it's wrong. People argue that phones now come without chargers, but they have had the same charger/cable for years and most should have plenty lying around. Not so much the case with EVs. Not sure how many would have spare UMCs around the house. Elon has used the argument the data says most don't home charge. Never provided the data. I reckon he's lying as he seems to do with most things.
Maybe I accepted changes too quickly, but with my LR, only recall having to accept Tesla Vision when my vin came through yesterday?
For the UMC, did I miss something? Thought if you ordered before they removed them you would still receive it?
I did read that they will honour existing orders and still supply the UMC but I guess we'll have to wait and see - aparantly it's only the new ones they won't and they are dropping the price from $550 - $200(USD)

Tesla now uses cameras (vision) only for Autopilot / FSD instead of cameras + radar - because they were getting too many false positives from the radar, leading to phantom braking.
That them removing radar and relying entirely on the array of camera for auto pilot etc to function.
