Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[Ranu]

Woohoo invoice arrived.
Doesn’t say how many km on car etc. did everyone else’s show this ?

Yes, 11km on mine. Others have between 5 and 15kms. I’ve seen them drive the model 3s off the production line in Fremont to the storage yard, so can guarantee yours already has at least 1km on it

If I'm on autopilot (AP1) and there are lane lines next to me, and I indicate, it will change lanes for me. A dotted blue line comes up on the side it's changing over to. I have to click the stalk in fully, a flick doesn't do anything.

Do you have FSD? I didn't spring for that.

What he said. There have been cases of the glass cracking from the heat buildup with certain types of film, so it isn't without risk. Honestly it's already quite dark and I see no need to tint mine.

Just to clarify this. I'm picking up my X next week and taking it straight to the window tinting place. I plan on tinting the front windows to 35% (darkest legal) and getting UV film for everywhere else to help stop excess heat. Is everybody saying the UV isn't necessary, and that it may cause cracking?

I have 10km on my invoice.

I tend to agree for the roof itself, but the tint on the rear glass fades to nothing as it goes down the back window. I’m concerned that if I get the side windows tinted, then the rear will look weird in comparison.

This is why I'm getting the whole rear glass tinted. I want to get the rear tinted, but I don't want a line across the glass.

Interesting. I'm a Sydney based 4991XX. Given the boat only arrived on the 20'th, that is much sooner than I would have thought. Mine is a black P3-. No call yet............

Missed the call this morning. Got the email - 27'th delivery.

I would skip both of those and get the AliExpress one. Much cheaper, still good quality. Save yourself about $2-300

Jetcharge and EVSE are both a ripoff and buy their gear from China anyways, often from the same manufacturers. They say they "test" them but honestly these factories are TUV and UL and ISO certified. Not some rinky-dink backwoods place.

I notice the type 2 cable you linked says 16A 32A - does that mean 16A limit on 3 phase and 32A on single?

I see they have a "full" 32A cable, 5m for more:

I got the 32A 7m cable. There are multiple options on the same listing. If you use Cashback or shopback you can get another 5% off, or whatever the current rate is.

It's a traditional thing that a new car will have less than 50km on it. It doesn't need to be on the invoice. In reality it'll most likely be somewhere between three and seven.

Considering our Model 3s are limited to 11kW, a 16A cable might be a reasonable choice. Of course, if you want to future-proof yourself, then go for the full 32A cable and then never worry about it again.

I would have thought for full future proofing you would need to go with 40-48A cable. If you are using a 3 phase power source then 16A will be plenty for the whole 11kw, however if you happen to have a single phase source then to draw full 11kw, you will need to draw constant 40A from it?

Hold down will also work.

[BarnabySydney]

For anyone still waiting on an invoice I can confirm that the price on the invoice I received yesterday is the same as it was when I ordered in June, despite the price increase a few days ago.

Curious as we are waiting for our invoice.

BeyondTech, how did you order on 31st Oct?

Yes, the order agreement is a contract. They can't just change the price willy nilly, Price changes only apply to new orders.
