New Model 3 Performance news

[Onshore]

Looking at a lease. How many sets of replacement tyres should I allow in 4 years and 80,000km? Two or Three? With a view to fit final set at the end of a lease. Not driving it like I stole it. My 2020 LR is on its 2nd set after 90k and probably have 1/3 wear left. Softer rubber on P though isn't it?

I'd figure on 30k kms per set. The new model might get a bit less than the old one, because it's a staggered setup, so you can't do full wheel rotations, only left to right.

Any track days in your plans?

No track days. Thanks for the suggestion. 30k kms should work for my plan of three replacement sets. Cheers.

Got a notification last night to complete a registration authorisation form from Tesla. Must be getting close now.

The comparison to a Model Y at the end .

I like the grey with the white interior. Is the white interior really that bad?

Which boat ?

people often had concerns that they would be hard to clean, but they aren’t. The black seats on my model 3 are full of white suncream marked which you can’t see with white seats.

With the performance however, they are perforated so much more likely to catch grit and crap. And on white that i think will be very visible. I ordered black seats for that reason

If you are referring to Turandot, it's currently still anchored just north of Brisbane due port delays. They won't come off that ship until Sunday or Monday.

Deliveries are scheduled from Thursday 20th and mine is on Saturday 22nd.

I should go and have a look to see if I can see it. I'm up on the Sunshine Coast and we can often see cargo ships queued up out to sea waiting to get into port.

Oh yeah I was just wondering which boat the other guy was saying docked last night. Let’s us know if you see it at the anchorage. As it’s not in port till 17th

I might go have a peek tomorrow. I am absolutely shattered at the moment having only just got in this morning from a long international flight. My eyes are hanging out of my head and I don't trust myself to drive on the correct side of the road in this state seeing as I have been driving on the wrong side for the last week.

Turandot brought forward over 24 hours to docking at 10am 16th ! So good.

 

[bugbear]

NSW got brought forward from 24th to 22nd. Ship doesn’t dock in PK til the 20th though.

Yep, assuming it all goes ok, cars should be able to hit the 20th june onwards delivery windows.

 

[Serza]

Just docked now - right on time

Was thinking about replacing chrome badging with black on the M3P. What are the options, do the badges get replaced, or are there covers that clip on existing badges?
