Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Mes1]

Thinking what to do when I first get my car, after driving it home of course

Probably sit in it for 1-2 hours and analyse every part of the touch screen, reading the owners manual and playing some games

Then take the kids out for ice-cream haha

Don’t ask me how I obtained this photo, but there are so many new Model 3’s behind the old Holden Factory in SA. Majority grey, black and blue.

I'm wondering why for some boats those first boxes are red and some are green.

Im hapoy to go pick it up from there

Jeez dont leave them out in the open out there.. i hope they have good security…

Red ones are unloaded by LINX whereas the blue is QUBE. The green boxes are just the end bits, finished shifts from the past week.

No, first squares for each boat. Sometimes they are just green (no ops), but sometimes they are of "ops" colour. Does it mean that something was going on just after FA docked?

My car is in the yard 6 km's from my house been sitting there since DJ docked in port Kembla and I can't get to it until the 13 from the Miranda store which is about 90kms away

I did not see a single white one!

Its a bit frustrating. Im on the last week and a bit of my annual leave too so im pretty much wasting it waiting whereas i could be out being irresponsible in a tesla..

I'm tempted to go for a drive to check them out... maybe a bit later. can easily figure out the carpark location from the Pedders in the background

Oh. That’s for the vessels that have already begun ops.

Is this lineup suggesting we might have a big bottle neck in Adelaide when it comes to replacing the parcel shelf?

Imagine when the next ship loads get here with both model Y and model 3.

We need a bigger DC

Would the over temp be turned on those cars or do they shut them down?

Conspiracy theory: white cars have lowest gross profit, so prioritising other colours.

(Thinking: manufacturing cost difference between colours is w-a-a-a-a-y less than the price difference. What do you reckon? Maybe $100 extra factory cost for Ultra Red? But the price is $2,600 extra => $2,500 additional GP. So you fill the orders for coloured cars first, and leave the Storm Troopers for later.)

They probably don't shut them down, but it wouldn't stay on for long anway. From the manual:

Cabin Overheat Protection operates until 12 hours has elapsed once you exit Model 3, or until the Battery energy drops below 20%, whichever comes first.

Hmm maybe…
