Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

when you say the heating is a little fiddly what do you mean by this.

is it the actual heating function or the annoyance of changing the settings through the screen?

thanks

It's the annoyance of the design but that's more about me than the system. Some people will love the design.

The heating itself is fine.

55k AUD is less than 34k Eur for Model 3!

Problem is, people can't seem to get them here as it is, seems to be lots of delays on orders

What cuts are they getting?

It is now 325,000 krona in Norway which translates to just over €28,000.

Not sure if they have built in discounts or government incentives over there though.

Yeah I understand that but with the price drops in Australia and all the rumours around price drops in Europe I would be amazed if they actually raised the prices.

Very true!

As soon as my car sells I’ll just pull the trigger on my order then ignore the prices if I can🤔😂 I still think it’s one of the best value cars on the market right now personally.

A 2k drop would probably allow for a choice of paint work to come in under 40k and keep that VRT nice and low. Just add zero % finance then and I'll buy 2 😄

A price cut combined with 0% HP on the model 3 is the dream.

50,000km pa rules out PCP.

In Norway, EVs up to NOK500,000 are exempt from paying VAT. Above that, 25% VAT is payable on the excess
amount.

The problem for Norway is that this incentive scheme has been so successful, nearly all new cars sold are EVs or hybrids and the Govt is now missing out on a lot of revenue. But a change in policy could reverse this change overnight.

You double press the right wheel button I believe. Still waiting for mine though so that's just based off watching YouTube videos. I think you can activate autopilot that will steer for you but not overtake or recognise lights or anything

Thanks - Car does nudge the steering back if you try cross a lane without indicating - I have not enabled full autosteer in settings.
Ive tried double clicking that wheel - all kinds of holding down wheel - holding and releasing accelerator - but I cannot get cruise control to engage - even standard cruise control would be useful for long roads.

Tried this from this Teslas Site - but doesnt seem to work for me… Is it a feature I have disabled or not paid up for?
"To engage Traffic-Aware Cruise Control, press the right scroll wheel, then release the accelerator pedal to allow Traffic-Aware Cruise Control to maintain the cruising speed."

Hold down the right wheel button. It will beep when cruise control engaged.

It will default to the speed limit that you are on. You can increase/decrease speed with the wheel.

Hold down the wheel again to disengage. It will beep again so you know that it's off.

If you approach a car in front whilst on cruise control, it will automatically slow you down.

It's a very simple system to use when you get used to it.

VRT is an absolute farce. There's no car. manufacturing industry' to protect, and since the focus has shifted to knowledge and pharma etc there isn't even an attempt to attract manufacturing jobs here. They should abolish the VRT really.

Anyways, so with 0 VRT on EVs under 40k, what makes M3 30% more expensive here than in Norway? I thought VAT was even higher there, like 25% or so?
