Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990
- Start date
You want a three phase 22kW (32A) capable cable - that'll let you charge at maximum speed on either a single or three phase charger (an 11kW three phase cable would limit you to 3.5kW on a single-phase charger). For length I would say 3m is a bit short. 7m is good but a little heavy, depending on the person who's going to be handling it. The cable sold at the Tesla shop is good value - it's a three-phase 22kW Mennekes brand one.
MENNEKES Type 2 Adapter - 7.5m
With a 7.5 m cable, this adapter allows for convenient access to three-phase charging at most public charging locations across Australia. Features: Length: 7.5 m Max charge rate: Up to 11 kW with Model 3 Up to 11 kW with Model Y Up to 16.5 kW with Model S Up to 16.5 kW with Model X Max range...

(There is no difference in AC charging speed between SR and LR - LR and P can charge a bit faster on DC chargers but you do not use your own cable for those).

You only need to get a roadworthy if the vehicle you're transferring into the ACT is more than 6 years old:
Roadworthy inspections
Some vehicles need a roadworthy inspection before they can be registered in the ACT.

I believe when transferring initially from interstate to the ACT you need a safety check done on top of everything else no matter how old the car is. I kept mine in NSW for that reason and cheaper rego.You only need to get a roadworthy if the vehicle you're transferring into the ACT is more than 6 years old:

Yep, exactly, completely ridiculous, so there was no way I was going to waste my time (and money) with that.

Those following the Model Y Waiting Room thread will be aware that 6,500-odd Model Ys on board the Stinkship Glovis Caravel were returned to China after several months bobbing around off the Queensland coast trying to clear a stink-bug infestation.
Well, I reckon the reason that we are not seeing Model 3 VIN-assignment activity yesterday/today is that the VIN-assigners have been busy re-assigning VINs to the Model Y buyers whose cars have returned to sender. Seems like just about everyone over there (Model Y Waiting Room) has received a new VIN in the last day or two.
Probably a very non-trivial exercise.
I'd probably be prioritising that activity if I was a Tesla manager: those poor sods have been on a long and uncomfortable roller-coaster ride for months. Showing them some positive progress would be an important piece of marketing.

I was thinking the same about ACT/regional NSW orders. Once DJ is en route to or has left PK I hope our VINs start flowing. Has anyone from outside greater Sydney/Wollongong area received a VIN?
The Model Y stink bug hangover could also be affecting us, as noted above.
Makes some sense, I also think the glitch someone got told about is likely a cause for the delay. Just hope they get them out soon!

I usually reckon that Occam had it right...
Yeah I've absolutely accepted that until that boat is headed for Mel with both other deliveries unloaded we aren't getting vins.
