    I have emails from Tesla NZ saying Tesla will be installing Model 3 tow bars once they arrive at Tesla Service before I confirmed purchase, Australia & NZ were going to be the only countries for retro fitting tow bars.

    Very pleased with the result if that is what you are asking.

    Just updated to 2020.12.11.1

    release notes:

    Driving visualization improvements

    The driving visualization can now display additional objects which include stop lights, stop signs and select road markings. The stop sign and stop light visualizations are not a substitute for an attentive driver and will not stop the car. To see these additional objects in your driving visualization, tap Controls > Autopilot > Full Self-Driving Visualization Preview.

    Dashcam viewer
    Watch saved Dashcam clips or Sentry Mode events directly from the touchscreen with the Dashcam Viewer. To launch, tap the Dashcam icon in the status bar and select “Launch Viewer” while the car is in PARK. If the car is in DRIVE, you will continue to save a clip by tapping the icon.

    To view saved clips and events stored on your USB drive, tap the Menu icon in the upper left corner of the viewer. Each video is organized by location, date and thumbnail for easy access. For additional filtering options, tap the “Dashcam” or “Sentry” tabs.

    Select a clip or event to play the corresponding video. To select video from a particular camera, tap the associated thumbnail marked Front, Rear, Left or Right. Play, pause or scroll by using the video controls at the bottom of the player. To delete a video, tap the trash icon in the bottom right corner of the video player.

    Out of Order Supercharger Stalls
    Supercharger stations now identify the number of out of order stalls. To view the current availability, tap the Supercharger station map pin.

    Are the driving visualisations working in NZ? I’ve got 2020.12.5 with the same release notes but where you switch on the visualisations it says they don’t work in our region.

    The new driving visualizations weren't enabled in 2020.12.5 for NZ, they are enabled in 2020.12.11.1

    Went for a short drive today, the car sees traffic lights, stop signs, some road markings with 2020.12.11.1, once enabled in autopilot settings. Doesn't recognize give way signs or probably anything else not in the release notes.

    Has anyone tried to sign up for the the Tesla Owners Club: https://www.teslaownersclub.co.nz/

    They opened up to allow Model 3 owners to their club awhile back, so I applied to be a member 3 months ago and never heard back...

    I would be interested in what quotes folks are getting for insurance. Mine was
    $2400 with Vero for a M3 AWD FSD which I have not paid yet, looking for options.

    Lots of discussion on this a while back during the initial delivery rush in ~Sept. IIRC for most youi was the cheapest option by far, but don't know if that has changed either through time or the completion of their sale.
