    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Just curious - how many of you have (finally) taken delivery of their M3/MY with a build date of say Jun/023 to Oct/2023 (ie. the cars that were on the ill-fated GC)? I'm only guessing at those build dates but they seem logical (to me anyway given the GC first arrived into Brisbane early October...

    Thanks Tony. I couldn't get a carsales instant quote because my car is older than 12 years (I think that was their cutoff). So I paid to list it ($69 for 3 months) and an extra $20 for the PPSR report.

    This is an update for anyone considering using the carbuyers.com.au service. Despites Jules22's good experience, I'm not having any luck with these clowns. Their 1300 phone mailbox is full. I still keep getting emails from some bloke called Conlon (from carbuyers.com.au) yet he still hasn't...

    Thanks for your insights Jules22. I'm in Melb. I'll go ahead and let them come do an inspection (I've just recently received my MY so I'm all set to sell my old car). The horror stories posted in ProductReview dot com scares the heck out of me. But I'll give it a whirl and see what happens. If I...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Hi Jules22. I filled out the web form but now I feel they are scammers. They sent an email to me saying they've been trying to contact me but I have no missed phone calls or text (sms) messages. I did a google search and many of the people on ProductReview dot com are totally disappointed. I'm...

    Wi-Fi hotspot connection issues

    Hi tga. I enable hotspot on my android and car connects just fine. However the satellite sat nav option doesn't appear nor the 'google' orange traffic congestion line on maps nor can I stream services, so I don't see the point of doing this (except may be to do an update while away from my...

    Just in case any of you missed this Melbourne journalists' articles re: Glovis Caravel ... 1) 1000 Kia vehicles turned back due to biosecurity risk 2) Chery taps Tesla supplier for sodium-ion battery tech Not really much more knowledge than we already know, but might be useful for some...

    That's exactly what I got when I jumped ship off Glovis Caravel mid November (I'm in Melb). The colour change (from white) cost me extra, but my NL company took it (and a new VIN) in their stride. Even your neighbours house looks the same as mine :)

    I cancelled my RWD white paint, white interior, 20" induction wheels for DAT-CAR :) I picked up my Midnight Silver, white seats, 20" induction wheels yesterday at 5pm from the Mulgrave Distribution Centre (Melbourne). It was in tip-top shape - not a blemish, no weird door/panel alignments...

    My 2008 VW Passat CC Coupe has ventilated leather seats ... It's something I'll miss for sure. Like you I've never needed or used heated seats.

    If you scroll back thru this thread to a point in time when GC actually made it to fisherman island and offloaded a few cars (circa mid October) an eye witness reported seeing Tesla and non Tesla cars being offloadied.

    I asked Tesla and received this answer. They don't actually say White-on-Black or Black-on-White, but they ar e slimline plates.

    Heard back from Tesla today (Sat) - that was quick as they said Monday. They've confirmed the swap to Midnight Silver, however the invoice reflects an additional $1500 to cover the non-white paint cost (bummer). I phoned and they said I have to pay for the paint because it was my decision to...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Just phoned Tesla Melbourne (Richmond) to do the same. Spoke with Rex (very easy going guy - he said he's been dealing with the GC issue all day!). He said they have 3 Midnight Silver's potentially available, one of which has my preferred white seats and 20" induction wheels at Port Melbourne...
