Australian Model 3 Waiting Room
- Thread starter rgc1990

yea... there are a lot of Model 3 "highland" MY23.5 in inventory right now in other states.
Wow happy for you and your wife’n’kids getting a cooler, cleaner, climate friendlier and safer car! My wife also can’t stand me talking about or listening to Tesla related news anymore as it took heaps of convincing to order it last year and wait this long. Well sweet dreams tonight for tomorrow’s ceremony to join the cult!Tomorrow I get formally ordained into the cult! Pick-up at 10:30am. A long time coming for me - I started the quoting with my NL back in June and placed my order August 31st. Much worse for my wife though, she's had to hear me yammer on for 6 months.
The Model 3 is an enormous upgrade on my current ICE vehicle (2007 Mitsubishi Lancer) but I'll still be sad to say goodbye. My parents bought it for me for my 17th birthday and I've kept it as my one and only car ever since. About 10 years on and its been all round reliable (less so in the last 12 months), but severely lacking modern safety features which I can't in good faith cart my kids around in. Not to mention the last two services have cost me about 3/4 of the value of the car
Let's see how well I sleep tonight!
You can also install it with the provided mounting clip right under the display. If you mount it under the screen, it can’t be seen from outside and you can hear it better.
I settled for this, for now at least.
This is a great option if you don’t have other stuff like S3XY buttons.

Well, it happened.. and I couldn't be more happier. Put 39km on the clock between driving around and dropping it off at OCD in Mitchell for some ceramic coating + tinting. Was a little sad dropping it off for a few days after just picking it up.. back to the ICE car until it goes on the weekend.
Overall, the delivery process was quick and simple. I rocked up 15 minutes early and it was sitting there waiting for me on 85% charge. App was intuitive and allowed me to take control of all the functions immediately once it was finally unlocked on delivery day/hour.
2 things I was initially quite impressed with:
1. The sound quality in the RWD is superb. I mentioned previously my outgoing vehicle (Golf) had the upgraded sound & vision package added to it and it's on par, if not better sounding than it.
2. The cruise control worked without a hitch on my small commute in varying 100-60 zones. I have yet to try autopilot as I was in a hurry to get the vehicle to the detailers and didn't stop to activate it. Also realised I can't activate sentry remotely for the first time as its telling me a setting needs to be enabled on the vehicle itself. Ah well.
Interestingly, they rectified the parcel shelf at 11:30am and I picked it up at 3:00pm on the same day (today). The car must've just gotten into Canberra yesterday or today.
Looking forward to hopefully taking it down the coast and stretching its legs this weekend if the weather holds.
Congrats mate, glad you are enjoying it and great to have another highland on the Canberra streets lolView attachment 1020035

Thanks. I saw 3 this morning on my commute to work. Do we have some sort of special wave going on now when we pass each other? haha
I was booked in for pickup tomorrow. Got a message at lunch time today it was ready and picked it up an hour later. Well worth the wait, such a quick hassle free pick up, I was out of there in 10 minutes.
Haha I've only seen one other so far and we kind of just drove past each other in opposite directions with both sets of drivers and passengers checking the other car out lol.
Hey what percentage interest rates are others getting in Aus for their novated lease deals currently? SPA offered me 10% via Angle Finance late last year then 7% when I said I needed a better rate, since rates are now expected to drop a few times this year and next. Then paperwork comes with 10.79% & they say it’s higher due to their margin %! I’m 51 with great credit rating so wonder what others are getting. BTW I’m doing a 2 yr deal and would do 1 yr if I could afford it as we really want the MY Juniper for the hatchback (as dog owners).
I'm on 12% via Angle Auto Finance, somewhere in my finance tube was being extremely stingy and refused to budge on interest rate, it's still a saving over cash but not as much as it could've been
Ive seen a couple in the wild now - a white and a grey RWD.
Mine is in today for tint/ceramic.. what a shame that I have to drive my SSV today
As it was your first charge, I wouldn’t charge overnight the next time and charge when you are home whilst keeping a close eye on the electricity circuit supporting the charging. Perhaps you have a wire getting too warm?
