Nice, I lost count after 10-15 because I didn't take my shoes off.
A couple of happy snaps: Perth Tesla Model 3 meetup
Have you connected your Tesla to WiFi? Take your mobile phone, put it in hotspot mode and connect to its WiFi, Then your car will download the update. If you are short on Data, Just drive to a Tesla supercharger. Your car will automatically connect to WiFi...
Once connected, Go to the Software menu to confirm that the car is downloading the update.
Took delivery on Tuesday on v9, bought FSD on Thursday, got the v10 update Saturday morning. Pay to win!

I got V10 couple of weeks after purchase. It does appear to need a rather solid and continuous wifi connection to get the updates. So unless you have good wifi at the place the car is parked, you may need to turn your phone to hotspot and connect your car to that hotspot as @RhysL said, then make sure you choose Advanced at the software update preference and leave it connected overnight. After the first people reported getting it, it took a few nights before mine got it.
When you go to the software update menu does it say “checking for updates”, or “your software is up to date”? Mine got stuck on checking for updates for days, a reboot fixed it. Now it only says checking for updates for a couple of seconds, then says I’m up to date, or it starts downloading the update.
I’m wondering whether this proposed update will increase the amount of regen, either on the standard setting, or a new “high” regen setting will be added in the menu. Elon said the change will increase the range of the Model 3, I reckon increased regen overall must be part of the mix, since purely adding “bring to a stop” by regen (the last few km/h) and making no other changes would not add a lot of energy to the battery.
Tesla Model 3 regen is low compared to GM Bolt and the new Nissan Leaf. Measurements on the G-force deceleration when fully removing the foot from the accelerator at 100 km/h showed Tesla was the least of the three: -0.16g compared to -0.20g for the Leaf and up to -0.26g for the Bolt. So clearly this is an area Tesla can improve upon. In my book, you can never have too much regen. Use the accelerator pedal to moderate it as much as you like, no need for “paddles”.

This sucks. I think there should be a policy of some free supercharging offered when you get that sort of failure - pre delivery check? Surely they would test charging?
One can only hope they see sense in opening up a Canberra office, given there seems to be ALOT of interest in Canberra for them.
Lots of Canberra cars tend to live their lives in other places thanks to the stamp duty exemption.
Maybe that’s why Tesla hasn’t opened a service centre yet hahahaJudging by the conditions of some of the cars delivered I don’t believe this is part of Tesla’s delivery process.
You can rotate the right scroll wheel to change the set speed. A 'long' spin will change it by 5km/h increments, short will go up and down by one. There are also + and - buttons next to the cruise control speed in the circle.
Once road works are cleared, double tap the speed indicator on the right hand side, and you'll accelerate back up to the speed limit.

I'm getting this about once every two days where I'm using Spotify. Pretty annoying.
So I did the spring mod as posted in the Facebook group - C-135 spring from Bunnings to replace the bonnet spring. Still keeps the bonnet down, and has enough force to allow the bonnet to release when opening the frunk.
I also grabbed one of those $6 mini suction dent pullers from Supercheap so that I can remove the aero cap kit without needing to keep two tiny screwdrivers handy - SCA Mini Suction Dent Puller - works perfectly, $6, and I don't have to wait 6 weeks for it to be shipped from China.
i tried just pulling the stalk down. but it just goes straight to 80km/h .
only way i found was to pull down. then really quickly scroll wheel down. there must be a better way.
A little while ago, someone posted a Youtube link with links for iView, SBS etc to play full screen. Has anybody been able to get it into the list of web favorites? As soon as you type it, it jumps over to the youtube app and so you cant add it to Favorites in the web browser. Yes I know I could add it in Youtube, but I dont leave youtube logged in.
I agree, I have the same problem, I don't want it to change speed when I enable Autopilot with no car in front.
Not releasing the accelerator while enable Autopilot gave me some success (I'm not sure and need to be tested and confirm)
