Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[Dave3333]

I like to imagine that MY Model 3 is in that orange Hapag-Lloyd container sitting on top of all the others, hence the first one to be unloaded, could arrive in Alexandria later this afternoon, I must stay near the phone, just in case I get a call...

I ordered a blue one, so mine will obviously be in one of the blue containers...

We also have Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth). We can let NZ admire them from across the ocean... Their participation in some NZ movies may be possible with the right incentives...

Could we add Vegemite, Hills Hoist, Wi-Fi to that as well please? And if that's not enough, we will begrudgingly bring with us Daniel McConnell

Also, they would like a chat @1st in Line , for your reaction DM me a contact number number please?

I wonder when you have 4 Teslas in one container, whether that requires hazardous material decals on the outside of the containers?

Keep an eye out for this:

I am one of the original reservation holders. And also one of the 4,500 that have not, so far, proceeded to order.

Someone reported here earlier that they got a phone call from Tesla urging them to order because there were only 2 reservers that hadn’t ordered yet

Tesla told me at Martin place, last week, that if I dont order I will miss out on September deliveries, and have to wait till December.

In that case, Tesla need to update their delivery estimates on their website for new orders. So far, they have not. Which one would I place more faith in?

Perhaps they can find the demand levers in marketing, so that after the 2,500 initial deliveries done, then another large batch in September, and another in December

Well, they could offer white interior on the non-P variants, like in the UK. That would help!

Should probably plan to get a reasonable USB drive in the car to keep some recordings. You never know what you can catch that way

I've bought a 500GB Samsung USB SSD drive. That should be enough for now.

I've made one of these. The idea is that whenever it is in range of your wi-fi, it will upload and video to your network.

If there is no VIN in the source code, does that mean there will be no car allocated to that order in the first batch. Does anyone know this ?

The known knowns are very few, if that many.

Some ppl claim to be very very very close to the delivery ppl.

Being told a known unknown and knowing the unknowns may be poles apart.

We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little Teslas. Wicked. Tricksy. False.

You need robust read/write capabilities, so a high quality SD card at a minimum is essential as the US group is reporting failures of ordinary thumb drives. You're also recording from three cameras simultaneously, as well as Sentry mode. So the space required pushes into the 250gb-500gb area. SSDs are ideal, really.
