Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Priit]

Question for anyone financing their Tesla and expecting delivery soon (or have received theirs recently), when was your payment cleared in the account?
I'm using Macquarie and my account still says "additional payment required". The remaining balance is exactly the amount financed. I've paid my cash deposit weeks ago which does show in the Tesla account.
Taking delivery this Sunday 11th Dec, and just don't want any delays.

I used Macquarie on my current Tesla, and was set pickup for Friday afternoon. Macquarie did the payment on Thursday afternoon and I got a call from Tesla SA Friday lunch saying it had cleared and I was ready for pickup. It seems that the 2 days before clearing rule did not really apply to Macquarie as they were happy to give me the car pretty much hours after the payment cleared.

So just to confirm the vehicles we are set to receive this year will not have the Ultrasonic Sensor hardware anymore? I heard they are adding them back on now.. If that's the case, they should install them back into our cars after they are delivered free of charge.

I believe everything coming out of Shanghai still has the sensors so we're all good.

The ultrasonic sensors are still there. I think you mean radar. Yeah.. they adding back an upgraded one.

Perfect timing right? We pick up our cars just before the rumoured model 3 refresh and HD radar gets added.

I think the refresh is a year away. Hopefully you get your car before then

 

[TE5L4]

Yeah the ones that assist with parking in tight spaces. My garage is a bit tight and without those it would be a little difficult.

Thanks All for the feedback. I'll wait till the end of the day and perhaps call the SA in Melbourne tomorrow if I still don't get any confirmation.
Cheers.

Bad new for all...
Tesla decided to put radar again instead of sensor that we have.
from Jan, they will put radar for future FSD.
and FSD over level3 will be delay
I guess... for us before Jan or Feb, will have no new Tech

Got a call from SA, Delivery tomorrow canceled due to truck delay.

I'm planning to pickup Saturday

This is not confirmed at all

If it's required for FSD they will most likely retrofit it for anyone who orders FSD anyway

Do you know if they can auto parallel park without FSD?

It requires either FSD or EAP.

Hey congrats, looking nice.

Cheers, build date is 16/10/22. You will be getting USS too, no MY23 for AUS yet.

Can anyone in VIC whose car came off the Don Juan please confirm if you have the slimline plates or not? Thanks

 

[darshman]

Even if the car has USS hardware, I heard that the software no longer uses USS, it's still vision only with the latest software.

thought this was an interesting video -

Model 3 refresh isn't happening until Q3 next year

I think (like many people in this thread) you're confusing radar with ultrasonics.

Radar is no longer used even if you have it - and new cars no longer come with radar.
Radar was used to keep distance from the car in front when in cruise control or autopilot. The cars now only use cameras (vision) for this.

Ultrasonics (parking sensors) are still used if you have them, and all Australian deliveries still include them.
