    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Does anyone remember how long it was between the model 3 Sr+ & P- was made live to order and then when the model 3 LR was made live? I vaguely remember it being only a few weeks or a month before you could order a LR, but I can't remember exactly. Maybe the model Y will follow a similar timeframe

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    I'm also waiting for a LR. Only reason why I don't want the P is that it's lowered and has the bigger wheels which reduce range. Otherwise if they release a P- like they did with the 3 when it first came which had the standard SR+ wheels, then I would consider that. Was the 3P- lowered?

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    If my memory serves me correctly, the order for the model 3 was first we put our deposit down. 3 years later we were able to place an order on our reservation, and a month or 2 later it started showing up on vehicle certifications and a few arrived in Australia for testing and media test drives...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    The "little fish" I was referring to was Australia, not all RHD countries. The UK will most likely get their cars from Berlin, and will definitely get theirs before us as they did with the Model 3 which is why I am saying that if we are getting ours out of Berlin also it will be a very long...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    If we get ours from Berlin, we will be waiting till 2022 at the absolute earliest. They won't start producing model Y's till July 2021 and all of Europe will be first in line for a year or so after that. Then they will consider switching the equipment to RHD and start sending them to us little...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    I remember the model 3 was given an estimate timeframe of something like mid 2019 when I first put my deposit down in 2017, but I am not aware of the process of the model s and X. Were they given estimates also of when they were arriving in Australia?

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    I read that Elon said Europe would get their Model Y's from Berlin, but I wasn't sure if that included the UK? I know it is a good assumption that they would produce the UK's RHD also from Berlin, but I think back to how the model 3 was done, the UK was almost a completely seperate entity to the...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    I don't think anyone is suggesting they will be producing RHD anytime soon, but what timeframe is more the question. From my knowledge, they have never released any sort of time frame for RHD model y being made so hoping them to be made "sooner then scheduled" doesn't make much sense since we...

    Model Y arriving sooner than expected?

    My guess is that if they do build a factory in the UK as per the article below then that could be where we get our RHD Model Y's. It would make sense for Tesla to make all RHD versions in the one factory therefore not needing to switch tooling etc to make the car RHD. Tesla linked to new UK...

    Tesla Model Y - no parcel shelf

    True, but in my experience, a thief is usually not going to break windows and risk getting caught etc if he has no visual confirmation that there is in fact anything of value to be stolen. As opposed to there being no parcel shelf and my work equipment sitting out in the open for all to see so...

    Tesla Model Y - no parcel shelf

    All of my work equipment is way too big to fit under any of the under floor compartments. So only way is for me to "hide" the contents. Really hope someone makes an aftermarket parcel shelf before the car is sold in my country.

    Tesla Model Y - no parcel shelf

    This to me is the stupidest omission ever. I for one constantly carry expensive equipment for work in the back of my car and not being able to slide a cover over it is ridiculous and just asking for it to get smashed windows and stolen equipment. What a shame.

    Model 3 Power Liftgate?

    I'm still confused how the trunk status works in this new version. Does it show it as opened on the screen when it is open or does it flash between opened and closed like the hansshow one does? How do they claim it can be closed on the screen if it does show the trunk as opened and non flashing...

    Model 3 Accessories

    Correct me if I'm wrong but also don't the Tesla mats have a split in the back row half way along? I feel like I would find it always collected dirt along the split. Especially with my 4 and 5 year old in the back...
