Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[CindyCindy]

I'm not familiar with driving test requirements anymore, but if it's a problem you could always cancel/reschedule the driving test?

The issue is P platers can't drive a Telsa model 3 Long Range as its on the banned list. A learner can. He just wants to drive it a few times before he gets his P plates

Me too. There are the insurance discounts but not sure if it's worth the membership fee. The only other discount I use is 4c petrol discount, which obviously I won't use again.
I mainly have it if it get a flat tyre (I'm a weakling who can't loosen the wheel nuts).
After nearly 25 years of membership, it feels like I'm going to cut off my right arm.

You’ll be swapping the 4c petrol discount for a 20% charging discount

I keep forgetting what it’s for - changed a flat tyre on the work car once, in my business gear, at the airport carpark coming home.. could have called the roadside assistance that came with the car.

Apparently they can spot you the equivalent of a “run out of fuel” and give you an emergency roadside charge up to get you to the nearest charging point.

Tesla offers help with a roadside charge “but this is not a financially covered service”

Take the Dual Motor badge off the car and the revenue raising Highway Patrol wouldn’t have a clue that it isn’t a standard RWD model. Problem solved.

The fact I have a secret VIN, is this good news ? Is the car finally on the way?

It's good news that it's been made. Most likely on the way with the other cars that have been assigned this week.

 

[blubbernator]

Out of interest, you’re in Perth right? Did the VIN show up on RAV before or after the ship it’s on docked at Fremantle?

Way after. The ship docked in Fremantle 15/11 and only just now got RAV entry. It should be sitting in a CEVA yard at the moment. Delivery is booked for the 7th.

Keep the Racq. I'm going with their insurance and other discounts. Plus they are always around if needed, I'm unsure how Tesla will be if not in Brisbane. Peace of mind imo. Exciting though isn't it...at last !!!!!

I would add that Tesla roadside assistance, whilst very good doesn’t cover regional and remote areas for towing like NRMA or RACV etc. I had a breakdown in Bundanoon NSW and whilst Tesla were able to identify the problem it could only be repaired at a service centre and I had to arrange the tow through NRMA.

Has anyone gone through with the payment stage yet?

I'm putting down a $50k deposit and the doing rest through financing.

Do you just transfer the deposit into the bank account that Tesla provides, then let the financer handle the other amount 2-3 days before delivery?
And will my Tesla account update with the appropriate figures? I feel like there's no information regarding this.

Ordered a Blue/black rwd on 17/3 and still waiting for my delivery date to change from Dec- Jan. What's the likelihood of more VINs today?

yeah we paid our deposit to the bank account shown and it was shown in our Tesla account by COB next day.

the balance will be handled by your lender, and supposedly there's more leniency for Tesla approved lenders to allow payment to be received by them up to the day prior, at least that's what Macquarie told me.

for sure just call your lender though if you're uncertain

Two new M3LR available in Victoria on the Tesla site! ️

Just got an update on my EDD this morning to Jan 3 to Jan 17. If you are from Sydney, check your Tesla App for any update.

 

[Electrify2022]

Does anybody know when we have to make the final payment? I don’t want to depart with 70k from my account it I don’t need to send it yet.

Does anybody know when we have to make the final payment?

Payment has to clear 48h before delivery.

Tesla will figure out when the car will arrive at the delivery centre (they need to book a transporter truck) and send you an SMS with a choice of pickup dates, these dates are normally a week or two down the track so this would be a perfect time to arrange payment.

Of course if you're regional (I think it's if you're more than 200km from a delivery centre) then it's a different story, as you won't get a booking as such
