Seems like there are quite a few P3ds sitting around. When you click on the car and hit order it shows you the actual vin number of the car you are ordering.
Or they haven’t updated their website with current delivery timeframes since they’re too busy prepping cars
It looks like this current wave of deliveries is nearly as big as the first one. So it will be very interesting to see in Q1 and Q2 next year what “steady state” looks like or whether growth continues with word-of-mouth etc and petrol prices going through the roof. I filled my Camry up for the final time last week, and was a bit shocked at where prices are at. But from now on I officially don’t care any more

OK, who is it? Wife spotted a red 3 in eastern Melbourne this afternoon with roof-racks. Who are you and how did you get the rack? Is it a Tesla one or aftermarket (if such even exists)?
I drove past a grey M3 with roof racks on Toorak Rd a few days ago

Tbh considering what you save on maintainance you could just upgrade the MCU. It's 2000 dollars.
An aftermarket rack is available from Yakima for $500OK, who is it? Wife spotted a red 3 in eastern Melbourne this afternoon with roof-racks. Who are you and how did you get the rack? Is it a Tesla one or aftermarket (if such even exists)?
The Tesla OEM version is $700

I had a feeling my cheap from the markets $10 floor mats would get me by until a set of reasonable and right hand drive floor mats came along and it appears they have.
Today I ordered a set of Australian made RHD Model 3 floor mats for $99 including delivery from FitMyCar.
The ones for the Model 3 are not listed on their web site yet, but can be ordered via their eBay listing.

The other option would be to go with the Tesla ones, that are a little more expensive.
I bought those:
Model 3 Carpet Interior Mats
M3, RHD, FLOOR MAT KIT, END ITEM(1454759-00-B) through Tesla service here. They were $131.82 plus tax, so ended up just about $145
So far I am happy with them
From looking at the VINs and cross checking against Veda's spreadsheets... It looks like all of the cars listed in the inventory are on Debussy and due to arrive on Dec 6. Supports the idea that Tesla shipped unordered cars this quarter.
Strangely though, all the car listed in Inventory are Performance Models which the web-site lists as for a February delivery.
LR AWD still listed on the web site as a December delivery but not spares showing up in the inventory.
I wonder if Tesla are deliberately putting out misleading/conflicting info to give us all something to sleuth about while we wait? It's certainly keeping me entertained.
Out of the blue got the sms from Tesla & picked up my roof racks today.
I think it’s a clever system, with its neat concealed fixing
As for load distribution, I largely disagree because you still have rubber pads under each roof bar foot to disperse load pressure
But I can see where you’re coming from with the sing bolt fixing holding the bar on

Wow, When I wrote to Yakima they said they would not be selling them in Aus, I asked if they would allow me to order a US version they said no. And Now a December 23 expected to be available.

No you cannot, you can pay for a new MCU ($4,500 not $2,000) and they will only put in a MCU1.0, not 2.0.....
Does anyone have recommendations for window tinting in Melbourne? A few hundred posts back someone suggested Dr. Tint, but I don't know whether any other shop has been mentioned, and it's hard to go through so many posts.
Any suggestions from current owners to new owners like myself will be greatly appreciated!

From what I read the AP computer 2.5 is compatible with AP computer 3.0, so those can be upgraded but swapping in the newer one, but I have not heard about the MCU or older AP compatibility between versions, so I suspect you might be right that to get the newer computer, you may need to swap the car for a newer model.
From what I have seen in other threads in the non AU part of this site, EcoCloudIT is exactly right. You can not upgrade an MCU 1 to 2. The architecture is completely different and the way it interfaces between the two screens in an S or X is completely different. As usual, one bloke got it to work by swapping out the entire screen assembly and some other parts on his Model S, but Tesla does not do this.

Without a doubt Rob from Ringwood is the best in Melbourne:
Car Tint PTY Ltd.
0417 755 537
I cannot recommend him more, you can watch your car being tinted, he’s an absolute gentleman and without a doubt the finish is dead on perfect.
I’m an OCD nut, even pisses me off (don’t get my started on how the wife feels about it) and I have zero complaints with Robs work.
I live in Malvern East and the trip to Ringwood was well worth while trip.
