Yes. It's correct. Red light on the back of driver side is for fog light when rear fog light is enabled.

S100D, P3D- in garage
Thanks for confirming.
I am supportive of the simplification/streamlining and all of that, but I can't help but feel this is a liability. Visual confirmation that a car is reversing shouldn't require more than a split second glance from either side of a vehicle.
Many Euro cars like this. My 2019 Golf...one rear fog light, one rear reversing light. My 6 VWs since 2014 all the same. Friends Merc C class from 2016 exactly the same. No biggie...
I emailed Tesla today and this was their response, I've had just about enough of their promises that they know damn well are lies. Months late and the only communication you get is when you get onto them...
"Hi I was due for a September delivery which came and went and now it looks like an October delivery won't happen either, can I please get some information here as to what is happening with my almost 80k vehicle? I mean will this vehicle even be delivered this year? I just want to know what's going on.
Regards,
Monica"
"Hi Monica,
At this point in time the next delivery time frame will be late November/early December so yes we are working on getting them delivered this year but if something comes up and we are able to get you behand the wheel sooner I will reach out to you ASAP.
Kind regards,

You could also turn it into a Honda Civic!

I ended up next to another P3D- in traffic for a while this morning so there's definitely a few about now

I saw my first Perth M3 on Monday 21st on GE Hwy, west bound around 0515.pm. A black one. I agree, it looked very smart in motion. Maintaining discipline!

Anyone eles had issues with spotify?
Every day it plays 2/3 songs then I get the spinning wheel of death and have so soft reset the car. Have a premium account with spotify. Tried a hard reset with the brake pedal but exactly the same results after a few songs are played. I pretty much rely on the radio as spotify is useless to me.

What is the quality of the reverse camera view at night? I read form the model s thread it is bad on model s due to the poor illumination from the reverse light.
Dropped the car off for service today (paint and body issues, mostly). Brisbane Tesla extremely disorganized, and worse hasn't done any planning whatsoever with regards to courtesy vehicles. Not even when they've been told in advance that the bodyshop needs to keep the car for multiple days and you live 100km away.
All they offered was a $75 Uber voucher, which is hardly adequate when the cheapest Uber back home costs $150 already and then you've got no car for a week. Severely disappointed on that front. Tesla is leaving people out-of-pocket and vehicleless over warranty repairs.
Anyhow, saw at least 5 or 6 other Model 3's at the bodyshop when dropping off there. Guess mine's not the only one needing some warranty repairs.
And if you really want to appreciate just how polished the Model 3 driving experience actually is, drive one for a month and then try driving something like your wife's (relatively) new i30. She used to have "the good car". Now it's just plain crude by comparison. There's no going back to ICE.

Who is doing the repair for Tesla?
Did they offer you a courtesy car when you booked the repair?
Oddly enough, one of the other people with a service appointment at Tesla Brisbane had similar complaints. Tesla rep blamed it on "issues with Spotify's servers" and said there was nothing they can do. Which is true enough, if Spotify really is having server issues.
Drive Accident Solutions.
Very good experience with them so far. Much more organized/attentive/helpful than Tesla. Gave an initial estimate of 3 days for repairs based on what Tesla sent over, and then were quite up front about needing to have it for longer than that "due to the number of issues" that needed fixing, after seeing it in person.
Even gave me a free lunch* while I waited for my ride back home.
* Probably they'll just bill it to Tesla.
Who? Tesla, or the repair place? Tesla never offered, and refused when I brought it up. Tried arguing, asking if I should just rent a car and bill them for it, etc., and they absolutely would not budge from "$75 Uber voucher, take it or leave it".
The repair place also didn't offer and said they didn't have one available when I asked, but I think they were caught off-guard. Apparently Tesla only sent my details to them this morning (!), and when they contacted me to book in the repairs I went straight to "hang on, I thought I booked in through the Tesla app weeks ago; I'm going to be in Brisbane today anyways so can't I just drop it off today, since that was the whole reason for going to Brisbane in the first place?", and they were fine with that. But no courtesy car from them. They said to ask Tesla.
Possible they may have been able to arrange a car had I not been dropping off my car on such short notice. And possible that I wouldn't have been dropping the car off on such short notice if Tesla had actually sent them my details a couple of weeks ago, like they claimed to have done in the SMS they sent me. But I've got overseas travel coming up and had already arranged time off work to drive the car in today like the Tesla app said I should do, so
at the whole disorganized mess.I brought my M3 to body shop, Drive Accident Solutions (Pinkenba, 4008) yesterday for warranty service. There were 4 M3s there already. No courtesy car offered but free cappuccino
Hmm...No courtesy car from Tesla. Not good enough. I don’t think any repairers offer courtesy cars. With the inconvenience caused by Tesla not repairing the damages prior to delivery, not providing a courtesy car is just adding insult to injury.
I have to work out what to do when I get my car, in the event that I get one with visible damages which require fixing. May be I will simply refuse to accept the car unless given a written promise that a courtesy car will be provided while the car is being fixed. But I would have paid for the car....

You should know there is no such thing as a free lunch
What did you order? Was it LR AWD? Has anyone taken delivery yet of a LR AWD? “Late Nov” is what the website says now for anyone ordering today!

reverse camera is just a standard camera so you do not see anything at night. However, the brake light and reverse light is so bright that it will turn night to day and then you can see just fine.
