ah, no. This is not at all how it works re production. Australia is basically a rounding error in production terms. Over 99% produced is for other markets. Even in one shift they build for other markets down the line Even when Au is built. The 3 line is still down for a while yet.
Hmm well that sucks. So I guess we are just waiting for them to grace us with whatever tid-bits of production they can spare 😏

So do you have any sort of estimate of how many vins allocated/M3s built so far this quarter? I'm thinking somewhere in the region of 2000?(probably less) Would you agree that if they are to have any hope of clearing current backlogs, they would need to deliver at least the equivalent of their Q1 deliveries, quarter upon quarter for some time? Can you see that happening this quarter?
 
there is a thread on this.

LFP = Lithium Iron Phosphate
Recommended 'daily' maximum charge up to 100%. Tesla says this battery can be charged up to 100% without risk of battery degrade.
RWD 'daily' max range = 100% battery = 491km
RWD 'trip' max range (for occasional long trips) = 100% battery = 491km

NCA = Lithium 'Nickel Cobalt Aluminum' oxides
Recommended 'daily' maximum charge up to 90% to ensure battery does not degrade over time
LR 'daily' max range = 602km * 90% = 542km
LR 'trip' max range (for occasional long trips) = 100% battery = 602km

P 'daily' max range = 547km * 90% = 493km
P 'trip' max range (for occasional long trips) = 100% battery = 547km

Of course above not real world ranges numbers.
from the articles it seems that the LFP batteries have less density, meaning it require more space under the floor than NCA batteries and hence Tesla has not found a way to fit larger kWh size (>75kWh) LFP batteries in LR and P yet.
Yep, this is correct. The reason they don't recommend charging NCA batteries to 100% is that they don't like staying at high states of charge.

Theres not that much total range difference between the LR at 90% vs the RWD at 100%. However, the main difference will be on long trips because the LR can charge fast to 80-90% which will give you a lot more range than charging the RWD to the same percentage. Obviously you can charge it to 100% but it will take a lot longer.

I'm not sure about the individual Teslas but some EVs take as long from 80 to 100% as from 10 to 80%!
