Just like Vedaprime and many others I was one of the lucky ones to pick up my car yesterday. As Vedaprime was the first of the day there, I was one of the last ones. My delivery time was set for 6PM. I had to leave home at 3:40PM with public transport to make it in time. Little over 2 hours later, I arrived 10 minutes before 6 with my son. As soon as we arrived, we noticed 4 MSM Models 3-s lined up at the delivery area. I knew that one of the 4 was going to be mine, so I opened up the Tesla app, and to my wonder, my car showed up there with 86% charge. My lootbox showed 1500km free charge remaining. I did not interact with any rookies or temporary delivery assistants, Morris saw me when I arrived and came and said hi and said since I have been there a few times he will get one of the guys who I have been dealing with previously to do the handover. So I asked the usual questions on when I can get the tow bar and floor mats and sun shades for the ceiling. They said they are expecting some stock for some of those to arrive next month but cannot confirm what will arrive or when exactly. They did promise to let me know when they get stock.
First of the 4 cars drove away very shortly, then they moved the remaining 3 on and mine was in the middle. Now about the car. First we paired my phone to act as key, then Bluetooth, then I plugged in the USB I brought for dashcam footage and to the delivery guys surprise it was recognized instantly and working. He said he was going to offer to format and set it up for me but I obviously know what I am doing. I mentioned that I may have watched a few youtube videos and read some forum posts.
The car had about 15km on the clock and came with software 9.15 that appeared to be slightly behind, however the phone app said the car had detected an update 9.32 that had been scheduled for download on Saturday at 12AM.
We tried to find the buggy racing game but that was not in 9.15 firmware so I promised my son that he could have a go at it after we get home and update the car. Had a walk around the car and looked in the boot and frunk. The chargers were in the boot. The mobile one has 3 tails. 10A, 15A and some round one I don't know. The panel gaps looked even, so happy with that. the paint looks beautiful. There was some assisting person with microfiber cloth still polishing the paint while we were looking over the car. I had to sign the Ipad for the delivery and was ready to go. We had to wait for the car that was in front of mine to finish their check and leave, so chatted with the delivery boys a bit more. Was out of there by 6:15PM. The car said it was calibrating. My son was amazed by how quiet the car is and how fast it accelerated with no sound. We played with the sound and emissions testing and voice commands a bit. Then it started to rain a little and took me a while to get the wipers set to auto. After about 6-7km the car was calibrated and I set the cruise on, but autosteer was not enabled and it said the car needs to be in park to turn on autosteer. So I pulled over and turned that on. Then the drive got even more fun. On M1 we caught up with another family that picked up the MSM P- just before my car, they had the whole family with kids at the pickup and in the car. My son wanted to get their attention so we got both MSM M3-s side by side, and my son opened the window and kept waiving at them until they responded. They appeared to be concentrating on learning the car more than looking at the car next to them
It was just over 70km drive home and I got home with 63% charge remaining. Since mine is SR+ I think that was just perfect. I had moved the old Merc our of the garage to the street and tried backing the Model 3 into the garage. My son went out to spot me. He said it is so quiet that you think the car is not running and then it moves, so strange. Well getting this thing in my garage was a 15 minute job as I need to fit the car next to the motorcycle. the motorcycle was touching the wall on one side and when getting Tesla in there I had to fold mirrors and ended up with 2cm gap between the other side wall. Once in the garage, connecting to wi-fi took 10 sec and I figured I would do the firmware update first. So kicked that off from the phone app and it started a 2 minute time on screen for update to start. 15 minutes later the phone alerted that update had finished. I went to the garage and checked the new games on the car and version was 9.32.2.2 so up to date for AUS.
Since the electrician is scheduled to come in 2 weeks to hook up the HPWC, I plugged mobile charger into a standard 10A socket in the garage and set the charge limit to 90% (we plan to do some mountain drives over the weekend).
This morning the car was charged and ready to go.
