Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

Meanwhile Viking Passama departed Melbourne. There are two boats parked, but Hoegh Asia is coming in.

That's my main worry - can't sleep with the idea. Pubes, farts... in ventilated seats. Aaaaaaaaa...View attachment 1013827

Most seemed to have the plastic on the seats still.
It would almost be ASMR to get delivered a new car that has not had any of the stuff removed snd do it yourself..
Then again a waste of delivery fee

I understand the battery will charge faster at the lower %, but given the example below would you consider staying on the charger until 80% before buggering off?

Put your "first time EV owner who only got it a few days ago" hat on Just to reduce anxiety and enjoy the trip (which id be in no hurry)

That's what I did when I went on my first big trip - especially after reading and hearing about range anxiety. By the time I arrived at my destination, I started trusting what the car was saying, how far you could drive and the % remaining.
Sticking around for another few minutes, especially if no one else is there, isn't a terrible thing to do. Peace of mind.

Yeah, I would. Conditions can always change, and adding an extra 10% at a Supercharger doesn't really take long at all.

Looks like the lad is going to be cruising around in the new ride for his 21st!

Have you been curious enough to look under your rear tether point yet?

Nah, I had a quick glance at it to see it was there and make sure I don't have to come back for a "recall" and that's the most attention I'm ever likely to pay to it, lol

OMG that is AWESOME congrats mate! Bonus of the surprise pick up is you don't have the sleepless night the night before! And you can surprise your son!

Gotto love the feeling when picking up a new car.. the feeling of anxiety mixed with excitement and a range of other emotions.

It's funny though, I generally change cars every 3-5 years and have had some pretty nice cars, but never felt anywhere near as excited as I was with the Tesla, both before and after pickup!

I really see it a such a different driving experience, I can't compare it to any other car, they all seem like such old technology now.

Anyone who had a car arrive via DJ in early January in Melbourne heard anything lately? Those cars have been in the country for a few weeks now, but Melbourne deliveries seem to have slowed right down.

I had a 17/01 - 5/2 delivery date, then 29/1 - 15/ and now 7/2 - 14/3.

Just checked and mine has changed to the same dates! Not sure why it takes up to 2 months from the car arriving in the Country to being delivered?

Me neither. It’s getting slightly annoying.Did you order a long range?
