Model 3 SR+ MY21 delivery wait times in Australia
- Thread starter Abenr
- Start date
I am going for the long range in Red so my choice was limited. I should have the car in the next 2 weeks, fingers crossed.
The red at the back is probably mine
Picking up Thursday
Very pleasant delivery, just sign on iPad and goes to your car. I think most cars are already there just waiting for VicRoads for plates. You can stay for as long as you like. All model 3 no S or X.
For a greener future
Very nice can't wait to pick mine up. Mine have custom plate and should be attached to the car already.Very pleasant delivery, just sign on iPad and goes to your car.

seems better than the car I test drove........ smoother... don't have that sudden jerk stop I experience during test drive because of in front "objects". and the regen brake also better
Good thing about Tesla is always software updates.... lol
very happy....

Feels like a little boy
Have a good checked, rear seats heating is available, steering wheel heating available. Acceleration haven't test, hard to test because no gear.. for that 0.5secs, still babying the car. Est range fully charged 440-444km on app. As per vedaprime said for unicorn. Latest full driving computer. Unfortunately MCU still the intel atom. Which is a bit slow for some stuffs. AMD would be great 
No other accessories given except the charger and floor mats.
Have a 15A plug at home made for the car. Got a third party 16A level 2 portable charger. $240+ I think from Ali. Work's like a charm. Tesla's one leave in car for emergency
Tested shopping centre destination charger also max 16A no problem. Going go find a higher amp one to test.
16A is pretty reasonable to be honest. Don't want to degrade the battery so soon. Although it's the better LFP battery

Tesla contacted me today , my Red long range is nearly here. Why does one day take so long to pass?Very pleasant delivery, just sign on iPad and goes to your car. I think most cars are already there just waiting for VicRoads for plates. You can stay for as long as you like. All model 3 no S or X.

Yes as always
but... It's mainly for ICE cars. Not sure if it works for electric. Haven't floor it all the way to be honest. But have always bought about 2000km+ demonstration cars already "run in" The downside is it's a European plug.. haven't been able to find something for Australian plug. I use a adapter for it and set the car to charge at 11A instead of full power,. The house socket is 15A rated with the 16A circuit breaker.
Tried 16A the adapter didn't get hot. Need to get a 15A adapter just to be safe.
Over night I plan to just set to 5A charging from car app. Just incase lol
Way cheaper than some other local sellers, so I just go it a go.

Assuming that is a genuine query
BEVs have no need to be “run in”. You may put the pedal to the metal from Day 1.The other thing to do is get your first kerb rash early on. Just get it over and done with, and then you can move on and not worry about the second one!
Not the wheels! I noticed the tyres doesn't have the "protruding" bits.... Once kerb scraping will be zzzz... The bimmer P zeros have like 4 to 5mm of "buffer" before scraping the rims
All for aero dynamics what to do...

Perhaps a silly question, but why purchase the charger, does the model 3 not come with the 7kw charger and a range of adapter plugs. 7kw is up to 32 amps.

Is the Euro to AU adapter you're using also rated for 15A? Personally I don’t think I’d trust an Aliexpress adapter/charge cable, especially something relatively high current (i.e. more than a 5V USB thing) and something that's not certified for use in Australia, but that's just me. I suppose at least it's outdoors if it catches on fire, and having a 16A breaker will make sure it doesn't overload the circuit.
