Can you let the forum know how you get on with the noise reduction stuff?Correct. Didn't cost much so got it just in case I wanted to try it out to see if it did make a difference.

Will do. I'll test this first before I install the door seals. From what I've seen (many YouTube videos), the door seals make the most difference to wind noise.Can you let the forum know how you get on with the noise reduction stuff?
No worries, I plan to do a lot of testing on my Model 3I am also interested to hear your feedback on the product quality and also the effectiveness. Some feedback on Amazon I've seen is that it does work to quieten the wind noise but the tubing doesn't stay put and pops out frequently.

TBH, I am most excited to install the Power Lift Gate.
I’m comfortable with DIY. Maybe I’ll offer my skills after I do mine.Is that a DIY job or need to take to a professional?

The 3 phase will only work on the version 1 UMC as comes with the S and X.Anyone got any idea about charging cables?
I'm thinking
Type 2 - Type 2 cable from somewhere chinese and cheap. Just in case the DC charger is broken.
euro 3 phase tail + 20A and 32A Aus 3 phase adapter ?

Correct - and the best way to get 16 AMP 3 phase which is the max the 3 will take is a version 1 UMC.Yes but 3 phase is currently the only way to charge at least with 32A at most places in the outback in Australia as you can charge at camping grounds. No Type 2 or any EV charging there.

The Juicebooster thingo is too dear and the Tesla wall unit is too big to carry in a 3 (OK in a classic S).
Pity version 2 of the UMC is a waste of time.

So I was bored waiting, and was looking for a small project to distract me...
Here is my charging kit:
- Type2 - Type2 (with bag): Should get frequent use to top up on free three phase power at the local supermarkets etc.
- Tesla UMC V2 single phase: Fit any of the five plugs shown as required.
- Tesla Wall Charger, three phase: Fit any of the five plugs shown as required.

The UMC V2 Adapter
The single phase UMC V2 requires a few different plugs. I would also prefer a RCD and waterproof enclosure for safety.
I purchased the 30A 'UMC to 6-50' adaptor from Tesla and the 6-50R socket from Amazon.
I found the 6-50R socket was really poor quality so all the more reason to seal it up in an enclosure.
Thoughts:
Type2-Type2 and bag: This is small and should get lots of use => Happy.
Tesla Wall Charger + 56 Series 32A Three Phase plug(s): Allows up to 11kW charging. Bulky to carry => Undecided.
Tesla UMC V2 + Waterproof Adaptor + Plug(s): Allows up to 7kW charging. Bulky to carry => Meh / Maybe useful.
Conclusion:
Looking at Plug Share, most of NZ South Island is covered by ChargeNet's 50kW chargers, or at least Type2 AC.
I probably would not go down this rabbit hole again
Juice BoosterYour set up is amazing.
Say you had a friend who has no clue about putting together domestic/industrial electrical gear together (and would frankly be dangerous). Could that friend get a similar result by buying a T2 to T2 cable and a Juice Booster 2 with a variety of tails, albeit at much greater cost?
And when plugging in to random points in shopping centres would it be wise to check with the management first, given that the hypothetical friend may also be rubbish at being inconspicuous.
