That attitude is totally repugnant with Australia right in the crosshairs of destructive climate change. I do hope the dinosaurs eventually become extinct.Thanks for the info on the battery specs. 85B24LS (45Ah) That is a big help.
I will see if i can confirm this with Tesla and see if i can find a battery company who is some help.
There is a local company here in Cairns who Tesla say can swap the battery without voiding the warranty.
Made a few calls to local battery companies and typical responses range from "nah mate cant help you" to "serves you right for buying such a stupid car" to
"i am not selling a battery to anyone who buys a tesla". Sigh. The tesla hate is strong in Far North Queensland.
I tried wreckers for a second hand battery, but there do not seem to be enough wrecked Tesla Model 3s. (Which is good)
I necessary if will see if i can find some of the small battery manufacturers who used to exist in this country.
I am really not keen on the car sitting there for a further 23 days.
Good luck sourcing your battery, and hope you can get something soon
