Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[rtvanda]

Thanks for that. Will sit in the waiting room quietly for the next six months, crossing my fingers and hoping for a cancellation or my turn to finally come up in the queue.

Watch out for fotklifts passing

But yeah, considering all these things are literally software and cost them nothing, it’s pretty *sugar* that they’re not offered as compo.

The premium connectivity does cost them something, it's basically cost recovery for additional cost from the mobile network and the subscriptions for Spotify and Google Map aerial photography tiles.

Viking Passama should be arriving at Port Kembla overnight

Has anyone traded their current vehicle and what was the trade in price like? Does Tesla follow particular data to value your trade in?

they offered $16,500 for my 2017 Forester with 60,000 km on it, I sold it privately for 31k. The amount offerred was so low that I asked them if the offer was in USD.

I got to a weird looking page with that link. Can you give us the summary or link again please?

I tried again, looks like a Russian file sharing page. So the theory of that post is that Tesla are getting vehicles to Melbourne by boat instead of taking them off at Port Kembla and trucking them down. Interesting. I wonder whether that means they've loaded Viking Passama up in the correct order to leave some on. Seems like a recipe for potential disaster!

That's true. Premium connectivity costs Tesla as I assume they would be paying Telstra (assuming they use Telstra) for data on 4G (5G).

So, something that doesn't cost money to a third party ... Mmmm ... how about EAP. Probably a stretch too far

And if not that, maybe they could offer a A$250 voucher to be used in their online store.

I might be missing something but I don't know if that is what they're saying?

Pretty much is

Assuming Tesla will continue what they've just done they will offload NSW and QLD orders @ Port Kembla and truck them up to Brisbane
VIC/SA/WA/TAS orders will be @ Port Melbourne and trucked or shipped around to final destinations

I can't wait to check the "Registry of Approved Vehicles" in a couple days. That'll be my new refresh page

Surprisingly mine was in the RAV before it was technically on the docks at Port Melbourne

It depends on where and what kind of charging you plan to do. The rapid growth in DCFCs, which are always tethered, is I think rapidly reducing the need for Type 2 - Type 2 cables. Apparently 3-11 kW untethered AC chargers are more common in QLD than NSW and more common in regional areas than metro. Plugshare should tell you if a particular AC charger is untethered but it‘s not always right or that information is actually missing.

And as you know they aren’t cheap: $250 to $350. I purchased one recently because I was going on a regional/rural road trip in NSW and QLD, but I never used it. The one AC charger I thought I might need it at turned out to be tethered.

Make sure you get the 22kW cable. I got one from EVSE for $224 with code TOA10 for 10% off

Could Tesla be taking the whole lot off at Port Kembla, getting them assessed and clear customs etc, then put the VIC/SA/TAS/WA vehicles back on a ship to Melbourne?

 

[Braz]

Unless it's being trucked down?

Doesn't make sense to truck down but to the port, unless they have some storage issue. Also trucks have been spotted/reported heading north from Port Kembla towards Sydney and QLD but none coming south.

I risked it. It's just drone footage showing a load of Teslas. I'm not brilliant at spotting 3s vs Ys but the Whirlpool post suggested they were mostly Ys.
