Did you get FSD option?Well, three and a half years after placing my deposit, I am now the proud owner of a Deep Blue Tesla Model 3 AWD Performance.
After a few days driving around, I can conclusively say that this is the best car I have ever driven. I love this car more than I could have possibly imagined.
It is easily the smoothest and quietest car I have ever driven, it is also the fastest and most fun to drive. Every single passenger that has been in it so far has been stunned by how great a car it is. Every time I punch the accelerator I can expect profanity, followed by uncontrollable giggling from passengers, so far, EVERY SINGLE PASSENGER, EVERY SINGLE TIME.
It has a +500km range and can be charged for free from the solar panels at work or at home. If I am out and about there seems to be free charging stations popping up everywhere.
The technology it comes with is staggering (no exaggeration, everyone who takes a ride is amazed by the tech), I don't have a key, I don't unlock or lock it, I don't start or stop it, I just walk up, get in and drive silently away. It can already drive itself on most roads and with the next few updates will be able to do much more (eg navigate all by itself from where you parked it to come and pick you up from where you are waiting for it).
All that aside, it is amazing that this thing can literally run on starlight rather than burning fossil fuels.
I love this car. Without a doubt THIS IS THE FUTURE.

Sydney. I was scheduled for 27/9. About an hour before scheduled time they called to reschedule. Reason - logistics - car was being prepped somewhere in western Sydney. They were unable to get it to Alexandria in time.My VIN is in the same range (also a P3-). I had my delivery cancelled last week and was told the car is still being unloaded. Mine is being delivered to Canberra. Where did you pick up yours?
Delivery number estimates. I am in the process of working out delivery number estimates for the quarter based on what I have.
For WA, SA, Tas, Act, NT, happy for people to speculate below in the comments, as I have no specific data I have been tracking.
I believe Tas (due to not being able to be find a free ship to transport across the Strait) and NT are zero.
I think I saw about 37 in first WA delivery batch. Any local comments appreciated.
Anyone else notice that their stereo sounds a bit better each time they get in the car? I'd still give the edge to the hifi at home, but the gap seems to be narrowing.
Wonder if maybe there's no factory burn-in on the audio components. Or I could just be imagining things.
May I ask, first day reservation?
I don't yet have FSD and have not received the v10 update yet, although I only collected the car yesterday.Are the people with FSD the only ones who have got the V10 update so far?
You're too quick. I deleted the post after I checked the spreadsheet.April 2nd 2016 was when I got the reservation confirmation from Tesla. IIRC, I made a reservation on April 1st at around the time Tesla announced 200K orders had been made.
The funny thing is conservative voting is correlated to xenophobia & nationalism (plenty of research on this) - supporting electric cars means not having to import energy & supporting the nation’s economy. But denial of science trumps when you mentally compartmentaliseIf Australia hits its Paris targets without accounting trickery (using theoretical ‘credits’ from Kyoto) it’s fair to say it will be achieved despite everything this knuckle-dragging Government has done to try to stop it. Sheer and utter bastardry - which will then be rubbed in by the Government’s hypocrisy and breathtaking gall to try to take the credit for it if it happens.
I went solar+battery partly as a middle-finger to all the deniers and troglodytes out there. I now generate more power than I use using nothing but sunshine - but according to them that’s impossible and I live in a cave. And when I buy my Model 3, I won’t be buying petrol any more. So take that. Revenge to big coal and oil is soooo sweet.
