And less Ys sold, or especially if there's a recall, means more shipping space for 3s and a need to replace the revenue.
Definitely get your finance sorted you lucky bustard. Not salty at all about Tesla being incompetent.
I bet those who were flying over the roof weren't thinking too much about the blacking.Anyone else thinking how good that blacked out roof looked
Cant wait to get my M3 done
I think it's possible in a drive-by-wire system for a failure to occur, resulting in a forced acceleration. Having said that, I don't think the brakes are DBW, and there's no sign of burning brakes trying to stop the car.
For people in WA Tesla has 5 brand new M3 RWD available in various specs for immediate purchase
Good to see there seems to be clearing up a backlog. One assumes that the same is for the next in line for the east coast. There would be a lot more, so movement won't seem as quick, but the movement for WA is a positive sign (I hope!).
If the pedals are not responding as you think they should, lift off and hold down the Park Button / lever to bring the car to a stop. It appears that the person involved did not know this and only pressed Park momentarily, this procedure is in the manual. #RTFM.
Based on the current Tesla new inventory listing's it looks like there is no WA backlog

I could not agree more. I suspect they were pressing accelerator instead of brakes.
I have been driving a Model 3 for over 3 years and I barely ever touch the brake pedals. When you lift your foot off the accelerator, the brake lights come on and the motor will start breaking for you to put energy back in the battery even if you do not touch the brakes. Running this way for kilometers without stopping means they had to have accelerator still on.
Not now after they've just cleared it? i thought that was the latest lot of VINs that were being reported here.Based on the current Tesla new inventory listing's it looks like there is no WA backlog

Do we know if people from multiple states are expecting cars on this boat? What are is your delivery window of you are?Don Juan is one day behind schedule already and still mucking about near Port Kembla
I just want it to arrive in Port Melbourne by the 18th so I can grab my car before I go on holiday on the 24th...
Otherwise I will have to recruit a friend to pick the car up for me

I'm fairly confident Don Juan has cars for Brisbane, NSW, and Melb. I recall a month ago Brisbane got VINs assigned, followed by NSW and VIC shortly.
My EDD is currently 20 Nov to 4 Dec and I'm away from 24 Nov to 7 Dec... Good timing hey

Well. If you hit the actual brake pedals or lift of pedals completely (then you get regen braking) and the brake lights come on.
So
No brake lights means one pedal was depressed.
Doesn't take Nikolas Tesla to work out which one.
You reckon the car magically accelerated full tilt without any input what so ever and the brakes failed...all at the same time and continued for multiple KM's? Tesla has multiple sensors for acceleration so it's not just oops, sensor broke. Let's go full tilt. The brakes are also the same as literally every other car. The cars computer can't just decide that the brakes won't work when pressed.
Not to mention when you take your foot off the accelerator in an EV it starts slowing down and the brake lights light up as if the brake was manually pushed, of which also DIDN'T happen.
The logs have already shown the driver had the pedal pushed to the floor and didn't apply the brakes once
Ill keep an open mind if you stop being ridiculous
Even if it did arrive on the 18th, you had next to no chance of picking up by the 24th
