Really? You have to have a reason and specific time pass before you can whine, bitch and moan on the internet? I thought the whole point of internet was so I could broadcast my frustrations to the world and feel lighter for it
Well. Today was a bonus. After 36 weeks out of a 13-20 week delivery window, I finally have my Blue LR.
I've previously whinged about difficulties with communications with Tesla, I whinged about the rigidity of the dispatch crew, and maybe a few other things as well.
I was blocked from picking up in Brisbane two weeks ago, and promised a home delivery. That blew out another week.
Finally got word the car is on its way via a transporter.
At the last minute, we're told the truck can't come to our location, and he would meet us at Hungry Jacks in town 20km away. We had another scramble to realaign work and medical appointments, and use the older ICE.
The transport driver was indeed, cheerful and accommodating, and showed us how to enter the car using the key card. But that's all he knew about it.
I had time for a cursory look over the car, whilst wife signed it off.
Indeed, it was in good condition, except for heavy load of travel grime that made vision through windscreen difficult.

Did some local errands and saw our 50% battery decline rapidly, in part due to calibration, and also standard mode. We had to learn quickly to keep the throttle lightly.
Followed with a 100km round trip to town and battery usage eased in chill mode.
Garaged at home now and charging on 15amp outlet, to give us enough for work and back tomorrow.
Even though i read the user manual several times, and watched videos several times, and followed the advices from all who have gone before me, Its still a challenge to set all the features, and use all the functions, even with a co-pilot.
I look forward to learning my way around this wonderful car.

Congrats, that was a challenging and understandably frustrating experience. Now you can heal with the best medicine you could have! Enjoy!

Firstly, congratulations and so happy you’re happy!Hi PsC000. Said I would get back to you. The car turned up today. The car doesn't come covered and was actually quite dirty. First thing after contacting Tesla and going for a spin we gave it a good wash. Very happy with the car. Even though we have watched hundreds of hours on YouTube we still need to work out some of the settings
Thanks forgetting back to me too and that’s good to know what to expect when it arrives. I’m looking forward to digging into all those settings.
Happy flighting
My bad, you have something to whine about in a month, not two.
Even then, Tesla missing your window by a month is not "seriously bad"...
There are people here that have a legitimate gripe and would kill for an EDD a month after the original date.
Damn so I can’t test drive to make sure the breaks work properly and the motor doesn’t make funny noises before accepting the car? That doesn’t sound right

Anyone finance with ANZ and know how long they take to transfer funds after settlement? Settlement was on Friday afternoon for me and I'm supposed to pick up the car tomorrow but the balance hasn't updated yet and Tesla won't release the car until it's cleared.
if the payment wasn't made before 6pm eastern time on Friday it wouldn't have been processed until Today.
I’m the opposite. I enjoy all the good news about people getting their cars while I wait. Its all the whinging that makes me want to scream.

Welcome to the Tesla way of doing things. That said I've never picked up a new car and been able to test drive it before accepting the car.
If they find a problem with a car they have been known to delay delivery until it can be fixed, they are generally good at rectifying any issues and making things right.

Feels like the next logical step for Tesla, is to arrange a pickup in the local Maccas carpark
Called it!!!
Have you not read ANYTHING, seen ANYTHING on you tube to understand this? Wow. I can’t believe that. I think you’re being deliberately … obtuse.
Your prediction was disturbingly accurate, @CompleteMuppit
Now if you could please pass along the Powerball numbers for this weekend, I'd be super grateful

Yeah I figured that would be the case but just felt the paranoia creep in. It did actually end up going through just fine.
I have the same EDD and fully expecting it to arrive December. Anything earlier will be a lovely surprise.
