Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Rosier]

So who’s gonna be your insurer? I’ve found that my best options are RACV and AAMI. Everyone else wants like 4-5 grand a year

Hi my name is Dronus and it's been two days since my last Ali express purchase

I could probably start up a support group.

Kinda specific...

TWATSS - Tesla Waiting AliExpress Trauma Support Society

 

[dronus]

It feels like buying a Tesla from AliExpress. Waiting months for the boat to arrive in Melbourne

Ohh yes, i remember back when i was waiting for the BA2 to arrive in Melbourne, seems like weeks ago...

 

[dronus]

Yeah I emailed mine back and told them to just pay it.

I expect once approval comes through to resume deliveries they'll be trying to get them out as soon as possible

Same, now that ive worked out tommorow is monday ill email them and ask for an update.

If you have a LR, for longest battery life operate between 80% & 20% but if > 35degrees C, try to keep between 60% & 40%. Sure you can operate outside these limits but this will reduce calendar aging and support more cycles. There are numerous published papers on this. Also important is to allow the battery BMS to balance periodically otherwise the former advice may not help. I recommend you read the link below about battery calibration but also balancing.

I should probably look, my NL did all that. It wouldnt have been cheap.

For my ICE car which im going to have to insure myself as from Feb1 ill go with RAA - they seem pretty good. I looked at YOUI and Budget Direct as the car wont be doing many KM once i get the tesla, but a few things stood out...

Price.
Even with nominating the low KM with the others, RAA was still cheaper. You seems to favor a certain younger demographic.

Pay by the month.
RAA Let you pay by the month and cancel at any time with no penalty. I might sell the car so im better off paying monthly.

Grouped discounts
Ill still like roadside assistance for my other cars and RipCo shopping. Also get discounted EV charging at the EV chargers (which is most of them in SA)

Local People
Call centres are local SA, i try and support local business where possible (aside from my TWATSS activities)

 

[MacTessy]

Fantastic & potentially even a day earlier, 22/1 in Melbourne

Yes, first I thought the RACV quote was expensive. Later on I realised the excess was set to the minimum. Stupid me. When I matched the excess to AAMI’s it turned out to be a lot cheaper.

The only thing about RACV(or similar in your state) is that if you select your car as a 23 model(mines manufactured in December) it gets a few hundred dollars more. So I hope they can go off the compliance date which will be 2024

Yeah they did the same to me, it’s that massive extension on the back end of the EDD I’m worried about.

My worry exactly

 

[SHAUN MENDEZ]

My worry exactly

This biggest worry is seeing how Tesla has no issue updating someone’s EDD last minute to extend the delivery window, the fact they are doing it this early means they must know it will blow out

Everything I am seeing is telling me the delivery won’t be until the back end of the EDD now, which sucks because I have made arrangements to sell my current transport in Feb thinking my car will be here in mid Feb not late March.

Tesla just be honest with us, we are adults, we can take it haha
