Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[Candleflame]

i had the same thing with the irish configuration. The irish flag came up to me but then redirected to the american website. After a day or so the irish flag was gone again. That was ages ago though.

Plus China is a LHD market, so makes zero sense for them not to produce LHD models there.

Hong Kong is RHD.

Mentioned in passing today to someone I'm in the market for a model 3. They said they were too, until they realised the couldn't buy one in Australia.

They ended up buying a Mercedes 330e instead. Tesla is actually losing Australian sales because of this delay.

Today

Another fearless prediction eventually one of them will be right!!

Hong Kong is RHD.

As is, bizarrely, Macau. It used to be a Portuguese territory!

 

[CuirousSquire]

Soo.... this just happened...

 

[rohan_aus]

THIS IS NOT A DRILL.... WE ARE LIVE!

 

[Candleflame]

yeah lol.

But no Long range model? Wtf?

 

[giddle]

Its time!!!!

 

[tom_kauf]

Yeah baby!! Just got a text message. And I only paid my deposit a few months ago.

I may still be getting mine after the people waiting a long time, but definitely no delay for late people.

 

[Vedaprime]

Boom. Text received

 

[Vostok]

@ShockOnT was right!! So was it luck or inside knowledge?!?

 

[Candleflame]

just got the text too. the performance model is also oddly cheap considering the price of the standard range. I wonder if Tesla is struggeling to price the awd and rwd due to the LCT.

SR+ $71285 (black)
Performance $94500

(in Vic if it matters)

Yikes. That'll disappoint a few people. Hope the SR, if available "off-menu" will bring the starting price back to under 70k.

Weird no LR at the moment.

 

[Vedaprime]

Where’s white seats?

 

[Vostok]

Well I’ll be waiting a bit longer then. No non-performance LR, and no tow hitch option either as far as I can see (I know it’s not available on performance, but it does not show up on SR+).

I note delivery is in August. So for me... September? October? It might not take them long to add other options. Maybe...

For those of you who have their desired config on offer... enjoy ordering!

no white interior either - which is something which is incredibly useful in the australian heat.

performance model is only 91k in QLD which is incredibly cheap considering there is LCT in there.
In europe the same config would be 110k AUD!

Just got this...

 

[Priit]

I just got an SMS from Tesla that my pre-order is now available for configuration for Model 3 and to log into MyTesla account to proceed with configuring it.

They are missing too.
