Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[khayyam]

Does anyone in the kiwi contingent know about any progress or the likely opening of the whangarei supercharger? Says "Target opening in 2019" which I interpret as sometime between tomorrow and never.

NZ has been separated from Australia in this forum,
Best to ask here: New Zealand

I'm paying cash, but I've got the invoice, filled out the registration document, paid for it and am now awaiting delivery (tomorrow) and mine says the same thing - The payment box isn't filled in.

Same, except delivery is today. I don't think the payment box ever fills in. Or if it does, it waits until after delivery.

I’ve just found my own registration number and vin pop up in qld. Delivery scheduled for tomorrow.

The day about to kick off in Richmond. One on the left might be mine. So excited!!!

BTW, will you track more boats after Debussy?

My delivery is early tomorrow in Brisbane also. No rego yet. No reminder call yet. Date and time hasn’t changed so I image the wheels are turning slowly somewhere.

This is the drawback of buying a car “ early” and visiting this site lots (my bad). The urge to compare minutiae.

Hi what r people doing for floor mats? Sr+ has none. Correct? And no RHD mats yet released. Basic mats in mean time?

I bought a set of, for the price surprisingly good, black floor mats from the markets for $10.

They'll do for a little while while I figure which actual mats to get as well as if I need to get boot and froot mats.

With many cars arriving on Cap Capricorn on the 16th of August surely they will all require charging by now.

Are these cars just sitting around going flat or are they being charged? They've now had a couple of months of just being on a boat and sitting around. Hope they aren't being left in a low SOC, not great for the pack.

Trying very hard to not complain about the delivery process but really struggling to understand how these cars arrived 6 weeks ago and still no sign of delivery. Just give people a date, even if it's a month away.

I know that a whole lot of you are waiting for delivery (myself included, although I would say that I am several weeks away) but just thought I'd mention that I was fortunate enough to have a solo test drive of an SR+ in Brisbane yesterday (due to the staff being completely under the pump with deliveries). This is the first Tesla I've been in, let alone driven My order was pretty much based on the hype and positive comments from this forum (and the desire to get out of my ICE car) and it's definitely solidified my decision. I left the regen on Standard and was one foot driving pretty comfortably within a couple of minutes, I even managed to get the trademark Tesla grin by putting the foot down probably more than I should have. Fantastic car, can't wait for mine to arrive.

I’ll make some decisions after Debussy. I will need some driving time. I think I will end up with a little less detailed tracking but continue the high level ship tracking and continue the deciphering the hidden vin journey for new customers.

they would get some type of charge in logistics. Also I am seeing a rotation of cars through the ac chargers (in Brisbane at least). Yesterday they were fitting new 12v batteries to a bunch of them.

Is that the white SR+ by any chance? If so I drove it three weeks ago today for the first time. The Telsa guy took me down to Eat Street where we did a couple of passes to look for cops, and then said to floor it from a standing start.

I shall never forget the squeal and swearing from the back seat where my wife was sitting.

Oh that's a relief. Mine is tentatively booked for tomorrow and keep checking to see if the payment box has filled in as well. Still waiting on a phone call to confirm tomorrow in Melb.

Haha that is exactly what I was planning to do (except now I won't. Hi Qld Police!)

Excited for you Veda! Lot's of contribution to the folks on this forum and elsewhere!

Q: where are you checking for registration?

 

[rdwlf]

Any chance we can see the video?

I am happy to, but what are the legal implications of me posting it online showing his face etc?

Or potential personal ramifications if the perpetrator figures out who you are... (slim odds I know, but stranger things have happened)

Probably best to just leave it with the police.

 

[Grenadine]

Pretty sure the guy isn't wondering about when his Tesla delivery will occur...

And for a few of us who haven't got any VIN yet. It would be really appreciated if you could continue doing this.

Melbourne staff told me on last Saturday that they had enough cars for up to Oct 4th. And none was assigned to me. Not sure if she included Debussy because at the time, your spreadsheet said she would arrive on the 4th. I was told I would not hear anything until October.
