Ha! thankyou very much for the picture. She will indeed and not feel left out again!
Cheers
I'd been expecting it since the plant closure given Aus (indeed as I understand all RHD) vehicles are produced in the first month of a quarter.
No point producing vehicles in Q2 but still having them on a ship so you can't record the sale.
On the plus side hopefully it means some of the new stuff in the Y flows through to the 3 by then (it makes sense for common parts)
Like the new frunk lid, and the USB-C ports and built-in wireless charging.
Ideally the chrome-delete as well (but suspect that will remain a Y feature)

Tesla do have a kit but I don’t know about availability or cost here. I bought mine in the US but I suggest you just google your paint code (I can’t tell the colour of your car from your picture). Try here https://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?make=Tesla&con=k&year=2019&rows=50 eg my blue is code PPSB (correct).
Once you have the code any paint supplier that has it on the database should be able to provide it. The metallics will be a 2 part. Even Supercheap and Autobarn etc. may have it by now. eBay only seems to have it from the UK. Call around and good luck!
So i've already put the Farasla Mud Flaps on and they seem to be doing a good job, especially in the wet we've had here in Melbourne but I saw that Tesla in the USA now is selling the Paint Protection Film kit for the rear fender area. Model 3 All Weather Protection Kit
So i'm guessing Australia won't be getting these for a while, but if anyone wants to put through a order through one of those USA shippers, ping me and i'll order some. They now also have the official paint repair kits: Paint Repair Kit

Someone received an invoice today with a build date of May 17.
This makes a ship arrival on Cap Capricorn - June 26 - meaning a July delivery.

I live in far north Queensland over 1500 ks from the nearest tesla dealer. Can anyone advise me if the tesla metallic blue is similar to the metallic blue found on any other current model car? The tesla blue looks slightly different on our 2 computers and we are trying to decide whether to buy the blue or the plain white. Thanks in advance.
Aussie back at 0.70 which is probably where it was set originally.
If you ordered post the April price rise, may well be worth not taking delivery/cancelling and waiting.
