    Australian Tesla Ceramic Coating, PPF, Tinting and other Accessories

    Yes i've had three vehicles have full PPF/ceramic and tinting at Tinthaus including my Model Y and BMW M3 Competition. The guys are great and do excellent work. My MY had XPL Stealth installed for the matt/satin look over the metallic silver, looks fantastic, with a ceramic over the top...

    Describe your initial impressions upon new delivery of 2023 Model Y

    I've had my RWD for about 3 weeks and have had it PPF'd with Xpel Stealth and a ceramic coating, all windows tinted with ceramic film. Really like the overall look. Overall very happy with the vehicles build quality and ride, the updated suspension is a real improvement. Steering is very...

    They have done a really good job on the suspension as usually increasing comfort results in a very soft/cushy handling car and/or a lot of body roll, both of which don't come through in this version. As someone that does a reasonable amount of track driving and know's a little on suspension...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Thought I'd post a quick summary of my delivery experience over the weekend for my RWD Y. Picked up from Chatswood on Saturday afternoon, this must be one of the smaller locations in Australia as they only do 30 deliveries a day which reduces to 15 on Saturday due to test drive commitments...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Given i'm picking up my car tomorrow morning it's time to exit this forum and transfer across to the owners one. It's been a great place over the last six months to speculate on arrival timing, lament the erratic EDD movements and fume over shipping congestion!

    They called as the vehicle was arriving earlier than expected. They where pretty tight on available times though. But they did say I could keep the original time if i preferred. No, before confirming the change he queried that i could pay in full prior to the new delivery date. Settled the...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Interesting, does anyone recall the last Tesla ship to arrive in Port Kembla that left China after 3/4? The build date is what had me convinced it was on Passama as it left a few days after build. I did put my VIN into the other Tesla shipping company website (sorry can't recall name) and didn't...

    Ok now i'm confused. I'm a NSW RWD order from November build date 3/4 and have a booked delivery for 22/5. I thought my vehicle was on Viking Passama which departed the factory on 7/4 and was due to dock at Port Kembla around 29/4. It was delayed in Brisbane so moved to 9/5 and then got pushed...

    Actually thats a good point, i know I'm on Passama as my build date is 3/4 and it left on 7/4. But what happened to all the cars of Viking Sea as i haven’t seen many delivery notification messages for Sydney cars in recent weeks here or on any of the other regular Tesla delivery forums. I wonder...

    Just got my schedule delivery message as well for Sydney pickup options where 22 or 23 of May. Order was placed in Nov for RWD Y Black/Silver with inductions, build date 3/4. That confirms that it must be on Viking Passama which docks this Monday. A week from docking to delivery is pretty good.

    The wide interest rate is part of how leasing companies make money, its also reflective of the fact that its an unsecured credit line. For reference my Y is funded via a chattel mortgage through my business at 5.2%. Its a competitive rate but also secured against my business from a funding...

    PPF Advice please

    I have PPF (Suntek) with ceramic on both of my non Tesla's and would never own another vehicle without it. It will be going on my Model Y when it arrives as well. Other then protecting from stone chips and other common scratches, think kids school bags, tree branches etc it will also protect...

    NSW port delays strike again, Viking Passama now won't dock until Monday 15th instead of tomorrow. Following this my EDD has now moved to 12 May - 2 June
