Yep, may not event be supply chain related, could be because of ongoing readiness for Model Y assembly line.
The Australian configurator shows the fiction that an order now will result in a “late November” delivery. Good luck with that.
I’m on the verge of pulling the trigger. I have a real dilemma between waiting for a white interior that might never come, or concluding that exiting the fossil fuel economy is so important it takes priority over personal aesthetic preferences.
Possibly no help but I was in the same boat as you.
I had my heart set on a white interior and always told the family that was what I would be getting - White on Blue. Rather than keep waiting I eventually pulled the trigger for Black on Blue with the view that I could cancel and re-order if White became available.
I let the order go through to completion with the black and now that I have the car I am very happy and can't imagine myself with White! Fickle hey?
It really helps that the interior pillars and roof lining are slightly off white so the cabin does not feel dark at all.I purchased the Auto Lift Gate (electric boot opener with the foot sensor) from Teslaoffer a month or so ago, but never installed it. The Mrs doesn't want me to install it now, so I want to know if anyone wants to purchase it off me. It is obviously brand new and never used. I'm in Sydney.
PM me if you're interested.

Oh!!, good point which I hadnt thought of. I was thinking of the headlights on traditional vehicles.
Great idea, then connect the spinners to a generator and you have a perpetual motion machine!Nah, you should add spinners
As someone who may want to install this sort of thing, maybe you can explain why? It seems like a great convenience to me, although I understand that one would need a hand free to use the phone to unlock the boot anyway.
Is that the reason?
Just tell Siri/Alexa/Google/Cortana/etc to open it.
Does anyone have any links or recommendations for suitable extension cables? I can't seem to find the details mentioned in the thread in Bunnings etc.
I may be over thinking this, but if I'm carrying these for just in case they may as well be as safe as possible.
Oh yes!
Same. Siri always looks for new and interesting ways to humiliate me.
I bought the Remote iOS app just to utilise its Siri Shortcuts (I'm too lazy to figure it out more than that). They work most of the time.
Basically, she doesn't mind the manual open and so would rather just have the money and someone else to use it now
This weekend I drove past 14 different model 3s in Sydney, plus a few S and X. A couple of weeks ago I'd be hard pressed to spot one model 3 when driving around. The Tesla invasion has begun...

Btw does anyone know... In the Outback when its i.e. 40 degrees is it more efficient to set the climate control to auto and i.e. 19 degrees (it really has to be that low with the fanspeed usually being around 3 in auto mode) or is it better to set to i.e. 24 degrees and set the fanspeed manually to 8? I find it a lot more pleasant when it blows into your face even if its a tad warmer.
edit: Was at Possums place today so he could testdrive the model 3. 2 Teslas in the outback hehe.

As I underrstand it, if it is the same as a domestic split system, auto means that it heats or cools as required. So if you set it to 19 on auto, if it eventually cools it down to 18, it will then start heating until it goes back up to 20, at which point it will start cooling etc etc. If you have it on cooling and 19, it will just cool it until it is 18 then switch off, and turn back on when it goes above 20. Auto in the winter does the same thing, if it gets above the set temp, it starts cooling. I would never use auto for anything.
There is something new in Vins. The letter C is appearing in some vins for motor - ‘A’ single motor. ‘B’ dual motor. C?
example below @Random206 - note for spreadsheet entry. Have seen this a couple of times now.

How did you find the glass roof in that heat?
When I sat in the back of a model 3 on a day that peaked around 26 degree, the roof was hot to touch.
