Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[EcoCloudIT]

Check out the automation graphic on the M3 web page. It shows a car being summoned out of the garage. I might be going mad, but I’m sure it used to demonstrate the door opening and the car driving out.

Same tricks, my 2015 Model S had a nice little video showing it opening the garage and park itself etc.....said this before but not only will the car never do this (and one could argue that is as much Tesla's fault, AP1, but also our nanny state government) however my car was NEVER going to open the garage as it didn't get delivered with the hardware....Tesla went on and on about homelink, and it would do it as soon as approved etc. etc....didn't happen, no calls....

Really hoping Sydney calls happen later since its less transit time for the cars, still nothing for 01/04/16 P3D+ over here

Thats the same VIN range and spec as my order and also had Invoice 248 and DOT reg come through today for WA delivery 19th Sep.

I'm invoice 115, booked for September 16th at 4pm according to the web site, but time not confirmed over the phone (although I did receive a call confirming all my details).

The P3 was always going to have mats, the question is whether the SR+ has mats.

The SR+ delivered yesterday in Auckland did NOT come with floor mats. I asked him on Facebook. He was unsure about fog lights. The rear heated seats were disabled.

What's very interesting about the first screenshot of the delivery stats is the large amount of P3D- as compared to the +. I wonder if this is also Tesla cleaning out the LR AWD stock. This may be a good tactic for them like they are doing in the US with the P3D- going in and out of "production".

What stock?

Tesla doesn't have stock especially rhd cars, we know these cars are built days before shipping.

Wow! Is your VIN in the range 446478-449528? - taken from @Vedaprime 's shipping tracker

Yes 449274

do you drive the midnight silver Model S in Cairns?

Yes. Did my DP give it away?

For kiwis searching carjam for their vins: registration updates don't work the way you'd hope. There is a period, after the car is registered, in which searching for the vin shows the car as unregistered, but searching for the rego turns up the vin.

T-2 hours now!

Brotonne left Auckland overnight after 24hrs and due Sydney Friday night. Port says 8pm. AIS says 10pm.

Got my P3- today. Love it.
Took it for a cruse down the busy Auckland Airport motorway and back. Then droped it off to have paint protection film applied, which will take a few days.
Autopilot took a few kms to finish calibration, then Autopilot and driver initiated lane change worked well. A bit freaky at first.
Initial acceleration tests were a bit dangerous, the car is so quiet but fast.

- Track mode is present .

- UMC comes with normal 10A and 15A as expected, but also a 16A Caravan plug which should be the most useful.
View attachment 446905
- Wall Charger with 7m cable.
View attachment 446906
- Homelink hardware and software is missing .
Hardware will be fitted in a few months when the Christchurch Service Center is operational.
- I even got dressed in a suit for the delivery photo

Congrats !
Thanks for listing what the car was delivered with
Very helpful

So from what your saying it looks like Tesla is going to honor early P - and P+ orders that included homelink, which is good news !

Is the Wall Charger gen 1 (hardwired) or gen 2 (nema 14-50 plug)? Also double checking there is no nema 14-50 adapter supplied for the mobile connector?

Hmm ok my hidden VIN has disappeared this morning.

Good sign. The 517xxx vin was a bit weird, way above everyone else.

 

[Grenadine]

You got a VIN yet, Veda?

yeah I am not upset at that VIN going overall If i get a car sooner that is.

 

[stuartl]

Can we just accept that the front boot is called a froot. The big area at the back of a car is not called a trunk over here.

I. AM. FROOOOOOOOT!

... I’ll get my coat.

 

[Candleflame]

Yes. Did my DP give it away?

I saw you once at the roundabout going towards the espalande just past the aquarium. Figured you must have been a tourist because I never saw it again.

Congrats. Looks great.
Hopefully picking up the same spec on Monday (minus suit).

 

[Vedaprime]

No. I remain vinless.
