Order update: car was in status 152 - Paint Shop when my SA updated me yesterday. It's getting real now hahaha

So BMW, Porsche and VW are all shutting down production in coming days due to supply constraints of wiring harnesses sourced from Ukraine. Incredible how far reaching Putin's was actually is.

It does feel like I have all the car gods on my side though. My car has completed production and been handed over to carrier for shipping (status 182) well ahead of the original production date of 9/3/22.

You are one lucky dude. Dodged the effects of the silicon shortage and now this.

Go buy a lotto ticket!

Hahaha couldn't have said it better! So true though. There are so many Model 3 and Y on our roads now. There were 1554 of them registered just last month, and 4200 year to date

Thanks! I’m up to 405km real world now and expect that to go up to at least 435km in summer

Not bad at all. Substantially better range than 50L worth of fuel in my 135

Very nice and average cost of a full charge?
