If you have glitch with you indicator not staying on in Reverse, (after V10) try installing a USB for Sentry/Dashcam, this fixed the problem for me.
I could not find a good thread on the general Model 3 forum to post this.
if someone else can confirm this, we can work out how to circulate the message more widely.

Did anyone else get blue triangular 'EV' stickers and a letter which, according to the NSW government, I am 'required' to stick onto my number plates to help first responders?
Anyway I stuck them on and they look fine. It kind of gives the plates a vaguely European appearance.
I wonder what this will mean to first responders. Does this sticker mean stay away, at least for the time being, until everyone is trained up on EV procedures?

Picked up my Model 3 P- car last Friday from Richmond and took it to Philip island for the weekend.
Paint condition echo's others experience - a couple of digs out of the paint that required paint shop correction, other imperfections that feel like dust under the paint, an area where it looks like someone has used an abrasive to clean a 5cm section of the bonnet - and a general fine scratch lines all over the car (as if a dirty cloth was used to polish it).
Disappointing condition on the paintwork.
Amazing car in every other way though... comfort and tech (haven't tried auto pilot yet - only TACC).
Guess i need to clean up my Leaf and get it on CarSales ...

this abrasion-look is normal for all teslas and really sucks on black teslas. lets face it. Paint is now the weakest part of the whole car. Wish they would have offered an unpainted brushed version lol.
Yep i got them today also.
Since they are bright blue, it doesn't really go with my red m3 with black plates unfortunately. Oh well, if it helps first responders
Yes I got it in mail today and it is mandatory by law from 1st of Jan 2020

id say lack of preparation and very soft paint due to afaik california having very strict laws regarding paint. From what I heared Teslas paint is all water based so basically same thing your kid uses to paint at school....
lol.
Getting my car next week, keeping my expectation low to avoid disappointment.

Tesla paint is anything but soft; had mine near 5 years ans the only marks on the paint were made by other vehicles and large rocks.
Geez that's disappointing.
If mine is like that when it turns up I won't take delivery.

The soft/rubber ones are really good and they dont impair the look of the car at all. Makes me very happy to see all those chips, damage and dirt on the flaps - thats crap which does not hit the side of the car.
