I worry about potential warranty issues with those trunk/trunk modifications not to mention insurance issues. I know in the video they say it shouldn’t affect warranty but its still a substantial mod.
In particular the automatic Frunk would almost certainly be against road regulations here in Australia due to the potential risk of accidental opening while driving....I’m guessing that’s why all cars on the road have the identical difficult to open, slide your finger and glide the lever to open..

Good looking kit, but it would be nice if the harnesses were custom length. That is a lot of wire to wind up for each actuator.
I’m in a similar position one week out. I emailed to change some registration details and they were made although I didn’t get an email reply. I did ring the service centre to confirm the BSB and the account name was my reservation number and that seems consistent with other people’s experience. Nevertheless the slightly obsessive part of me would like an acknowledgement.
Sorry to hear that, I would be p*ssed off too.
I’ve been reading this forum long enough to know to never trust Tesla’s promises. It will happen when it happens.......

Is it possible to get the call without having hidden VIN? Based on the spreadsheet, four out of five Victorian who ordered red/black P3D+ haven't got their VINs.Here's hoping that everyone who needs one gets a call today.
Under law, it only voids your warranty if the prior modification directly affects the issue/fault being pursued for rectification.
As for the frunk latch, not sure on the finer details of the operating mechanism - there are a few install videos uploaded now

If I change the sound system, it doesn’t void the warranty on the braking system.
Better?
Just got a call at 9:50am. Delivery date:30 September, VIN:4883XX, Reserved: 8 January 2018, Ordered: 6 June 2019. P3- Blue/black
I feel like they are pushing hard to get deliveries ASAP before end of Q3 obv. Wonder if the push to deliver will sustain after the 30th?
Rooting for all of them! Their jobs are not enviable right now.

My VIN has just become viable on my account page. Still no acknowledgement of receiving $70k from me. With only 5 days till delivery I'm going to have to assume the delivery time and date that is on my account and was put to me a tentative is actually going ahead.
I have emailed my delivery specialist asking if money has got to them, rego papers are correct and if delivery time will stay as is as I've already rearranged work and kids.
Have not heard back.

Insecticide and Hairyman, a tip I picked up from qiSun to find if my final payment exists in my account:
go to your Tesla account (www.tesla.com/en_AU/teslaaccount)
click 'Manage' on your Model 3,
right click on a blank bit of the page and click 'View Source' (some browsers may be different, google how to do it for your browser),
search the source code CTRL + F (or 'Command + F' for mac) and search “rawamount”
When I found all my payments in there it put my mind at rest - hope you find the same.

If it helps, we received invoices for our 2 cars and the BSB is the same and the account numbers correspond to the RN number for each vehicle.
The BSB should be 248-074 and you can verify this to be Tesla if you do a BSB lookup here or at other similar sites: Search BSBs. Typically, BSBs represent the bank branch, but in this case it looks like Tesla managed to get Citi to set them up with a bespoke BSB.

I wonder if the end of the quarter is California time?
That gives NSW an extra 17 hours, so they have until 1st October at 5pm.
To check if they received the funds, looking at the website source code like we do with searching for our VIN but instead search for “rawamount”. You’ll be able to see all the payments you would have made in the source code.
Dont ask me why a high tech company can’t build that into their website and instead the customers have to search the website’s source code!
Yeah it's interesting/disturbing browsing through the JSON dump on that page.
If you don't and its something that can be done without needing Tesla specific assistance I'd be inclined to get it done privately then send them the bill.
