Tesla Model 3 in Australia

Yes, you are indeed wrong

The new Torquay 350kW charger is the only ultra-fast unit charging at the moment. Euroa and Barnawatha are free. Best way to see this is to download the ChargeFox app.

Torquay and Airport West charge 40c/kWhr for both the 350kW ultrachargers and the 50kW. Euroa and Barnawatha are free as noted. If you look at the Details tab for each station in thew Chargefox app it will tell you what the cost of charging is for each station.

Does V10 allow you to remotely crack the windows for a hot day?

yes its supposed too

Just had an email from Tesla letting me know that my car (that was on Cap Capricorn based off my VIN) that was due for delivery in 18hrs won't be with me until week beginning 14th October now. Can't believe they can wait until so close before delaying it so far! Very disappointed to say the least.

The car already has overheat protection which turns on the fans and/or AC when a certain temp inside the cabin is reached. I have mine set for fan only to reduce battery drain and I’ll see how it goes. You can also start the AC to prepare the car from your Tesla app.

Several owners with deliveries this week have been bumped to next week. Oregon Highway with 21 M3s was due tomorrow in Freo, now due 4th October, which may explain the delay.

Vent mode for windows..

I am trying to keep a register of WA deliveries.
Yes, TH232 saw about 37 delivered to Autonexus on 4th and 12th September; there have probably been more since, but no evidence.
We think that 21 were loaded on Oregon Highway in Port Kembla eta Freo tomorrow.

I know of 29 delivered to customers so far, plus two who should have received theirs last week, but haven't shared their joy.
Another 10 scheduled for delivery this week.
Another 21 scheduled for delivery for the rest of the month.
Another 15 who ordered but no delivery date yet.
Another 73 who reserved, but no further details since then.

Thanks for this. It really helps

A data point from chatting to the delivery specialist at the Richmond store yesterday when picking up my car, they mentioned delivering 60 cars on Saturday and 40 on Sunday just at this one store.

yes I can confirm. I picked up my car on Saturday. They were literally offloading the cars from the car carriers, spitting on a rag rubbing it on a car and 10min later handing it to a customer to drive off in, complete with dents, scratches and all the other damage that nobody bothered to even look at. All for the measly sum of $100k.

Don’t worry about the nearly dozen panel damage spots, there was even literally brown road mud around the skirtings of my car....that’s how little attention they paid to the cars.

I’m a huge Tesla fan but what I experienced on Saturday and the condition I saw my car in and the subsequent handling of the panel beating required was a SH*T SHOW of epic proportions!

I'll get registration numbers for Teslas in WA after the quarter end.

yes. It does. It is called vent on the phone next to a window symbol. Have not tried it yet

Brisbane had their biggest day on Saturday 60 deliveries.

There are 25 in the basement still waiting to be delivered. Am unsure if they are in for a late one. I did see the detailing team were still all there.

As I understand it, Sydney peaked at 100 deliveries for at least 2 days. Unsure of how they are going today.

Yep it hurts when you build up so much excitement and counting down the days. I was originally 19 Sep but rescheduled to this week, but wouldn't be surprised if I get rescheduled again knowing how hopeless they have been with WA deliveries

I must have been in the minority. Perhaps my 9am Sunday delivery time (first for the day) allowed for a little more preparation time.

I thought so too... still a few cents cheaper than Tesla. But having checked chargefox app billing history, they were free...

Used Chargefox 350kw charger @ Airport West last night and they are charged to credit card via app. Not sure if the non 350kw chargers were free or not.

Today while loading in the kids into the car at the local shopping centre. (Where I was connected to the tesla destination charger) I met a fellow M3 owner.

We had a good chat about things then we compared VINs. I said mine was a 4427xx VIN. He then says he was too.

He moves to the front of the car and looks.at my VIN to realise my VIN ended in 93 and his ended 94.

Literally means ours were made at the one after each other on the same assembly line.

Pretty damn amazing if you ask me.

 

[maveric74]

Did you have to use any connectors for these chargefox ones?

CCS connector cable (same as Tesla Model 3) provided with charge fox so no connectors required. Fit directly into TM3 port for me at Airport West last night. Super lightning fast charging as well, so well worth it for me.

Sorry to hear. Picked up our TM3 on a Sat a few weeks ago and it was crazy busy on the day as well but the cars (including ours) were in mint condition. Only thing was we had standard number plates and when offered to take car home, I mentioned the custom plates we sent to Tesla Cremorne a month before delivery date Fixed ASAP. Cars on the day were just perfect. Not great to hear your experience and it must have been disappointing. Hope they resolve the panel damage issues fairly quick for you to enjoy the car..

Lighted 'T' for Tesla Model 3



yes please!!

Brisbane had their biggest day on Saturday 60 deliveries.

I can't imagine how they managed that with just the single bay for delivering cars? Impressive, whatever they did.
