    Automated way to log charging amounts/costs?

    Thanks everyone! It looks like TeslaFi does exactly what I need (incl showing the cost), but I will probably test all the mentioned apps/services over the first few weeks to see what works best.

    Where do I find the build date? Can't see an invoice in my account, only the order agreement (that doesn't even show vin) and the rego form

    Automated way to log charging amounts/costs?

    Hello, Does anyone know a way to automatically log charging amounts seperated into home charging, supercharger and third party charging? For novated lease purposes, my lease provider can reimburse me for the charging costs and the more accurate I can record my cost, the better.

    Tesla Software updates - Australia

    I wonder how many resources Tesla allocates for improving Tesla Vision for Australia. From the reports here, it sounds like pretty much nil. I hope eventually they look at all the data, the false positives, the misses and actually have a look on how the experience could be improved. Otherwise it...

    12:30 here, obviously no VIN yet but if there is one big assignment each month, I am looking forward to getting my car in October :)

    Anyone know how to change from paying outright to finance? Do I have to contact my SA? Can this be done anytime before delivery?

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    Just heard back from one leasing company that they won't do that. It needs to be leased through their dealer (I'm not quite sure how that works with Tesla though)

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    I wonder if rather than leasing through someone's financing, my company can just buy the car outright and lease it to me. Means I/the company would save a lot in interest. Is anyone planning on doing similar?

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    I am aware. It would be roughly $13.000 annually or about $8000 if I received the car September 1st. But the hope/gamble is that the legislation passes before the end of the FBT year. If the legislation doesn't get passed, I would have to pay that FBT and sell the car to myself, also having to...

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    Ya, the idea is that I as an employee of my company would not contribute post-tax, therefore incurring FBT for the company. Looks like most/all leasing companies aren't offering this (at least outright on their website), because an employer would have had to be extremely generous to agree to...

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    Can anyone recommend a leasing company which is willing to quote a novated lease without ECM (and ideally is easy to work with as a small business)? It will create a FBT liability for the employer (which is also me), but as long as the legislation gets royal ascent before 31/3, this should all...

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    I talked to my accountant and it looks like a novated lease is still the best option, even if I am the director of my company. Reasoning is that if I want the car to be eventually privately owned by me, I'd have to buy it from the company at the market value at the time, which is probably not...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Canberra showroom has a white and a blue Model Y SR for test drives. Usually they preprogram a route to Black Mountain Peninsula, but I guess nothing is stopping people to take it onto Majura Parkway

    I got quoted $880 incl Gst for a 3 phase 32 amp install of the gen3 charger, including a 10m cable run from the wall box

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    The moment the legislation passes, I'll be contacting my SA to change the rego details from personal to business. Does anyone know if there is a cutoff point until when this can be done, i.e. needs to happen before VIN is assigned or other stages?

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    The worst part about ordering a Gen3 Charger is that you get an email a few days later and for a short moment you'll get your hopes up it is about your car, not just a shipping notification for the charger :D

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I decided to get the charger now and I don't even have a VIN. Main reason was "why not?" coupled with me having an electrician over anyways for unrelated work. Some say that if there was a flood of new cars, the charger might become low on stock and there could be wait times. Not sure how...

    NRMA fast charging network

    Braidwood would be a good spot for Canberrans with a Y SR and any sort of condition that would lower range (winter, roof rack, bikes) that are on a weekend dash to the coast

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    I'm not considering a novated lease as I am incorporated, but my plan is to have the company buy the car and whenever the FBT exemption ends, I personally buy it off my company for its deprecated value. Anyone else planning on doing something similar?

    Model Y Accessories for Australia

    I'd be interested in good waterproof RHD floor and trunk mats that don't look too ugly.

    Ampol AmpCharge network

    Works well with debit cards linked to saving/chequing accounts also, just did that today (and hopefully only a few more times in total)

    Ampol AmpCharge network

    CC pre-authorization is not an issue though. Just select the maximum amount you'd expect and a few days later you get the difference between max and actual price refunded. That is exactly how Costco fuel stations work.

    There is a German figure of speech, which translates into Weighing the pig doesn't fatten it i.e., checking this forum won't get you a VIN (or car) sooner :)

    ChargeFox EV charging Network

    Question re Chargefox RFID card: Will the RFID card always be using whatever credit card info I have in my account, or is the credit card info somehow baked into the card?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I am incorporated. Did I get the novated lease thing right? Company buys car, gets GST refund Company leases it to me and FBT is exempt under new scheme for at least 3 years After 3 years I pay the residual and then I own the car So not only would I not pay income tax, but the car would also...

    Also worth considering EAP. Right now the extra 5k only give you traffic light and stop sign control

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I got the confirmation today that FSD was removed from my car and the EDD has not changed (Aug-Nov). I initially ordered it with FSD, but after reading the reports here on how sketchy NOA is on Australian roads, I decided against it. Even if the price increases later, I rather wait until it...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I also just came back from my test drive. Y SR with the Gemini wheels. Pleasantly surprised by the ride quality. Firm, but not harsh, even over bumpy Canberran roads. The soundscape inside the cabin is a bit boomy though, which can hopefully improved with a parcel shelf and extra door rubber...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I ordered around 12:30pm with Aug-Nov EDD, so probably won't see the car this year. Upside: I can let you guys figure out what best RHD accessories to buy :D

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Spoke to my SA and asked about removing FSD and if it has any impact on EDD (mine is still "August - November"). He essentially said if I want to remove it, I should do it sooner rather than later or it might impact EDD. When I asked what exactly that means, all I got was a standard "any...

    If you only access the tesla reservation page via a bookmark, the token at some point expires. You need to log in again and then you can use the oxp-bff-api/user-orders url again

    Thanks! But what happens in the case that after 3 years the government decides to scrap the FBT exemption?

    Would you have to change the rego/payment details on the Tesla website though? I am worried this might change delivery date.

    Quick question: will the Tesla precondition the battery when navigating to the Evie chargers?

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I also never received a confirmation email for the MY SR, not in spam either. I am basing my 12:30 time on when I got "welcome to the Tesla family" text message, which iirc came fairly quickly after ordering.

    Removing FSD before taking delivery?

    Hey, I was wondering if the delivery went alright. I am in the same boat somewhat. Ordered with FSR, might want to remove it, but don't want to jeopardize the delivery date.

    From the form, it looks like it is at the point where you enter your payment details / before the final invoice, i.e. the "Finalise payment 48hrs prior to your delivery appointment" thing. I am intending to keep it, just wanted to know that if all the negative experiences here in the forum...
