I keep saying I haven’t bought a Tesla, I’ve ordered one.. (yes, everyone can’t wait for it to arrive so that i stop talking about it)
I just realised how lucky we are compared to the states.
We get the 3D7 Motor which gives 192kw vs Freemont M3s which uses 3D5 that tops out at 180kw.
For the RWD
For those who bought in Feb it's around 40-43k(state incentives varies) USD drive away. In the states its 48200 BEFORE taxes. So more like a 10k+ USD difference.
Freemont built cars tend to have poorer build quality and they've removed USS while shanghai is still keeping it for now.
They use a proprietary charging port which requires an adapter for 3rd party charging, while we get the ubiquitous CCS2.
Their delivery fee is 1200 USD ours is 1200 AUD.

I just wish we have the 0-100 in 5.7 from November 2021 but with the new AMD processor.
It's still a great car that's really fast because of the instant access to power.
That's the way.. keep it up. We are all in the same boat. Some get it and some dnt

Sounds like a rap name “Dr Sink Pain”
I’d go to a Dr with that name
“Dr Sink Pain will see you now”
Sooner you will be that obsessed that you will start stalking your ship in and outThat's what I was thinking.
Funnily enough, before having a VIN I enjoyed watching the discussions about ship tracking and guessing which one it's on, but thinking I wouldn't be interested for my car, but since having the VIN, I've become a bit obsessed about itI can see why people would subscribe to those tracking services.
That much I can't say as there's no info on it, but it's a newer slightly more powerful hairpin motor that's only available at shanghai.
For everyone watching ships at the moment, I've found this video walk through of one of the boats:
I just check. It is actually the same motor since Feb 2022. So it should be 6.1s acceleration.

No, but will drool over carbon fibre sports wheel with alacantra grips
Somebody said if you install the yoke the insurance company would not cover. You need to get a engineer certificate for approval.
Plus IMHO it’s just not practical until there’s a power assisted linear increase in the turning circle the further you turn the yoke, preventing you from needing to cross over your arms. Like it should turn max 90 or 100 deg. Todays version makes you turn further than that and I don’t think it’s practical or safe in an emergency situation. I’ll take a round wheel please.
Aami said it makes no difference as long as we mention an aftermarket installation before the quote. However i didnt trust them, gut feeling
I received a text from Tesla saying that if I pay my car asap it would prioritise my order.
EDD 18TH - 31st December
