Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Bonquopg]

Are you guys getting your windows tinted? If so, how much and what kind of tint (carbon/ceramic)?. I got quoted for $695 in NSW for ceramic tint from tint haus.

Awesome! How do you like the white interior? Any misgivings?

Are you guys getting your windows tinted? If so, how much and what kind of tint (carbon/ceramic)?. I got quoted for $695 in NSW for ceramic tint from tint haus.

This was a quote I got back from TalkTint in Melbourne;

Thank you for reaching out. We have significant experience with tinting Teslas, they are however slightly different to quote versus other cars. They are particularly difficult and time consuming to tint because of the shape and curve of the windows. We will only use the high end CIR Ceramic film because of its ability to be highly heated and manipulated to fit the unique Tesla curves. They are definitely not a car to be tinted by the inexperienced or light-hearted!

We offer a few options in regards to the roof.

CIR Ceramic Prices:

Tesla Model 3
Side windows only = $660
Side windows plus 3/4 Roof = $990
Full car including roof = $1450

At the time I thought it was a lot, but maybe its around market price

has anyone with a mulgrave pickup on thurs/fri been able to reschedule after the storm/power outage?

Yes, talk to the DC directly. I’ve got mine the very next day and I know @Moops got his the day after.

I really like it!
I have no doubt ill be constantly cleaning it, but thats no problem.

I just had so much fun - a couple in their 70s walked past it, so i had it farting like crazy.. they were so confused that I was in tears

thanks, i'll give them a call tomorrow and see when i can re-book my delivery

i'd give you a thumbs up but i can't figure out how to do it for the life of me

 

[amesoeurs]

Delivery date booked in! Morning of Thursday Feb 22nd. Red LR, white interior, Nova wheels. Ordered end of November.

 

[LoBo Party]

Ordered 6th October and I got my email to schedule pickup just now
Pick up day 13th March now it feels like I can actually get excited.

 

[amesoeurs]

Has anyone managed to get insurance through AAMI? They were the cheapest when I got quotes a couple of months ago, but that was with the MY23.5 Long Range. Mine is a MY24 which doesn't seem to appear in their list (although the MY24 RWD does).

my bro in law at NRMA told me Tesla’s repair takes ages as they are slow to send parts and not many smash repairers know how to repair Teslas in the event of an accident

Going through a not at fault claim with them right now for my Model Y that got side swiped. The first assessor they sent me to luckily doesn’t repair Tesla (was worried since the google reviews were terrible and I didn’t opt in for choice of repairer), but the second assessor had a whole bunch of Teslas in the garage and sounds like they will do a good job. Had to wait a week for NRMA to authorise the repair after the assessment, the parts have been ordered, let’s see if it turns up within a week. Likely drop it off for repairs after I pick up the new Model 3.

I reakon Adelaide could do with a bigger DC and more employees!

Anyone thats been around longer than me might be able to comment on the "seasonality" - if that is a thing? Busy times around refreshed models etc

@paulp @meloccom @cafz @Vostok

Servicing isn't a thing mate.. essentially, all thats required is topping up washer fluid, rotating tyres and changing brake fluid every couple of years.

In 9 years, I’ve had that done plus replace 3 screens, replace the bmu, the bms, the 12v battery, several door handles, front suspension twice, lots of panel realignment, lots of wheel alignment, sub frame alignment, and several recall jobs.

That blue looks sooooooo good!

 

[MacTessy]

Did your EDD dance around much?

No. It moved earlier by 1 day and ended up Feb 14 to Mar 6. Delivery day was initially messaged through and set for Feb 20 but the DC contacted me saying that was an error. The day is set for Feb24. If it stays there, then I think I will have been lucky judging by other comments.

Like the super charger you got there.

Yeah wish it was functional!

 

[SiLENC3]

Cheers mate!
I bloody love it
Out and about for a bit of a squirt right now

And I absolutely LOVE the white interior!! Such a nice relaxing place to be!!!

No hope for me.

How was the service experience?
