Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Newspeak84]

Ok. Random one here.
An argument has broken out in the house as to what to name our Tesla Model 3 when it arrives.
Everybody has a different opinion.
Are we the only ones that name our cars?
Anybody have any thoughts?
Does anybody have an opinion as to the gender of a Model 3 Tesla? Establishing that will shorten the list of names for sure....
(Just so you know we're not a total 'first world problem' family, nobody is threatening to move out if they don't get their way)

Nothing wrong with naming things. My missus has named everycar she's ever had since P's and have been male/female/androgynous.

I've named mine too and affections have run from Cmon Baby and here you go darling all the way through to START YOU B!&CH!!

All I know for sure is that I bags the "Mattmobile" - Same Matt-Time, Same Matt-Channel

Hi guys, due to take delivery on Thursday.

Having a bit of a registration problem with Tesla. Has anyone registered a car to a Trustee Company?

Tesla is claiming I need to register it to the Trust as the first operator, but it doesn't have a QLD CRN and I've never registered any company car (nine since 2003) to the Trust, always to the Company.

Does anyone know the ins and outs of Qld rego and knows the correct way to do it?

Its near impossible to talk to the rego team direct, they always seem to communicate through service.

I prefer the look of the 19” wheels. I was going to change my order to include them, but my SA told me back in March that it might affect my place in the queue so I decided not to. Because I couldn’t stand the thought of a delay…

Whatever - I'll put the money towards ceramic coating and window tinting instead.

Anyone got a recommendation for ceramic coating in Melbourne?

Anyone got a recommendation for ceramic coating in Melbourne?

Affinesse (Clayton South) if you’re in the south east or Sam’s window tinting and coating (Airport West) in the north - they’ve both done heaps of 3s and Ys and I’ve only heard good things.

I’m in the South east so will book at Affinesse once I get my car but I really would have liked to take it to Sam.

Yeah definitely happy, I do like the matte black TESLA badge on the back and removed the dual motor badge completely as well, love the more simplistic look. I'll try and get some night shots of it

Tesla is a pain to deal with. With the demand for vehicles they have, they have all the power. Something not quite to their liking, [soup nazi voice] 'No car for you'!

Pushed back another day... Pick up now on Thursday.

I have a feeling the car is 'still in transit' but using any excuse to not say that, but who knows. *Takes off tinfoil hat*

What are the suggestions made by your household?

Father (me): Tess (as in Tesla)
Mother: Nicky (nod to Nikola but also to Minaj as the Model 3 is wide at the wheel arches)
13 yo daughter: Taylor (as in Swift because the car is swift).
10 yo son: Carter. As in car. Only male choice.

Hahaha, Nicky is funny. Personally, I like Carter.

I was going to say Tess, but that is a pretty standard name for Tesla's... Nicky has my vote (for the Minaj reference, hahahaha).

Just finished installing the small pile of accessories. Stand ooit for me was the Spigen matt screen protector. Went on so easily and perfectly - super smooth, no bubbles, no swearing. Recommend.

Looks good! Any other stand outs from your accessories? I'm looking at my pile and shaking my head. So many unnecessary purchases!

The mudflats from Tessoroes were very easy to fit and fit well but look a bit plastic. Not bad but could be nicer.

Moulded floor mats fit well and feel nice under foot. Def prefer to the carpet ones that come with (which will look garbage after a short while).

I tried the UMC - works as advertised. Pressing the flap open-close button on it will never get old.

The light show is a little cray cray. I think my neighbours might suspect I’m on crack now.

Mudflats lol. Mid flaps

I haven't actually seen the light show.... thinking I should go onto YouTube and check it out...

so sexy... do you know what tint percentage you went on windows? I am collecting my Black M3 LR on Monday and have tinting booked a few days after and am looking at a 25% Ceramic Tint. Did you tint the sunroof also?
