Thanks - good thinking! I hadn’t thought of that. I’m actually going to Freemont and have a Tesla factory tour booked for a couple of weeks time, so really looking forward to that.
I think I’ll stick with the Aero Wheel Cap Kit, and maybe a Frunk Mat.

Will do. It’s in about 10 days time. No cameras allowed inside unfortunately. I’ll be keeping my eye out for if they are making LHD or RHD models at the time. It’s early July, so there is a chance they will be making some of the August delivery Aussie cars...

Also if you get a chance to ask questions, would really want to know if the LR RWD will come to AUS and when? And as a bonus question about the availability of towing option for AustraliaAnd ask them about white interior for RHD while you’re at it
Group buy on Tesla MOdel 3 wheel cap kits!
A fiend and I have both ordered the SR+ with aero wheels and you can’t buy the wheel cap and lug kits here unless you go through ebay and get them shipped or drop ship them. I’ll take two of the $50US wheel caps kits if you can buy em and lug them halfway around the world haha.Seriously though I’m in Melbourne and don’t want to go through all the hassle and extra cost of drop shipping the things. The USD to Aussie conversion is $50USD = $71.50 AUD. Then with drop shipping it would probably end up costing $100 for the kit. I’d rather give you some extra $’s for a couple of kits than some nameless drop shipping Company.

I will definitely want the wheel cap and lug kit for M3, but am a little on the fence about getting them shipped from US, as I suspect that once the Model 3 starts actually arriving here, those may become available to purchase from Tesla here also. Unless someone can provide a reasonable precedent suggesting it might not?Group buy on Tesla MOdel 3 wheel cap kits!

With Model S and X accessories has the availability been reasonable? How long it took after the cars started arriving until the accessories became available? How has it been with EU, UK and China for the accessories availability?
Okay, I’ll ask them about the following for Australia:Also if you get a chance to ask questions, would really want to know if the LR RWD will come to AUS and when? And as a bonus question about the availability of towing option for Australia
- Delivery dates
- White interior
- LR RWD
- LR AWD non-performance
- Towing capability
- Choice of wheels
- FSD legal progress in Australia
- RHD floor mats
- Supercharger rollout and CCS conversion
- Timing and AU$ cost of the Tesla Ute
I’m sure the tour guide / factory floor worker in Fremont will be well informed and able to speak with authority on all of these

Let me see what I can do... I’ll check out one of the Tesla service centres and see whether they keep them in stock and what the size of the pack is. It’s just a bunch of plastic caps (maybe the hub ones are metal?) so weight shouldn’t be much of an issue. Gimme a few days as I’m travelling at the mo.

I emailed Tesla Australia about availability of the Model 3 wheel caps here- will post their response when I hear back.
Hi Ranu, Just another request on the LR RWD --- If it was possible, when would it be announced..have fun travelling...

Well that was quick- Tesla Australia response:
“At this stage we’re not sure exactly what parts and accessories will be available or when but we are looking into it and are hoping to launch to Model 3 parts and accessories locally in the coming months.”

There is a good chance that international orders have already started to be produced (painted) given anything in the last few days is unlikely to be delivered. With s/x AU production often started in the last week of the quarter. It is also possible that production of flat white won’t start for many weeks, although who knows it could have already started
