Today we picked up our shiny new Tesla Model Y “Juniper” from Tesla Mulgrave. Mos

t of the process was done through the Tesla app over the past week, so the actual pickup was super sleek.

We traded in our 2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD, also streamlined through the app. After we arrived, the staff just spent five minutes checking the condition of the car. No issues found.

Thanks to Nathan for leading us to our new car, and sharing our excitement, since he has also ordered one. He left us to inspect the car and said to just turn on the hazard lights if we had any concerns or questions.

We spent 15 minutes looking over the car and taking photos. Then we just drove out of the building, to take it home.

We have new custom plates “TRIPNG”, but we didn’t get to VicRoads in time to allocate them today. So, we just used a lump of Blutac to stick one on for the photo today. In Victoria, we only pay once for custom plates, not every year.

The Tesla app automatically removed our “old” car and added the new one. My driver preferences automatically appeared in the new car. Very impressive. I only had to tweak the mirror positioning, since the Model Y is taller than the Model 3.

We need to pick a name for our new car. We’re open to suggestions. Current ideas include: Big Red Car, Scarlett, Ruby, Red Dwarf.
