Does anyone know for sure how many Teslas have been formally ordered and will be delivered into Australia at this point in time, not bogus tire kickers, genuine orders with deposits and delivery dates in the supply chain etc. Also are there any known New Zealand orders that have been placed...

Wishing you well with your AUS launch. Be sure to post some nice pictures > Just FYI our second Tesla MS has arrived in NZ. Steve West was of cource the first with his RHD red P85+ which I had the pleasure of viewing in Wellington on Thursday. The second arrival is a green MS imported by Carl...

WE had a private person do something similar in New Zealand where there is no Tesla office showroom or support. He bought it in The Netherlands and shipped it to NZ Anyone throw more light on whom might have ordered this Tesla in Malaysia, see quote below from auto reporter Paul Tan > Regards...

Hey Guys > Some "great news" for Model 'S' in Australia Cheers > Peter in New Zealand .... ------------------------------------------------------- Experience Model S in Australia The Darling 80 Pyrmont Street Pyrmont NSW 2009 August 18th – September 11th 10am – 8pm...

Just wondering with the RHD deliveries imminent into AUS has your Tesla Sydney store opened yet, and any sign or rumours of the RHD test drive or display vehicle, which I understand was going through certification in Melbourne a while ago now. Cheers > Peter

Obviously Steve has been there done that and will have some good advice. I would like to say as well that I know of another Roadster owner in NZ whom used these guys in Auckland to arrange his import and paper work. K W Historics Regards, Peter

Plugshare has all the information worldwide on charging. I have just downloaded their Android App. This is their facebook page as well: http://www.facebook.com/plugshare It seems the only theoretically (fastcharge) in NZ is the one at NorthPower station in Whangarei ... On the subject of...

Dont get me wrong I'm an AVID Tesla Fan & Supporter ; But playing devils advocate. On one hand Tesla is fighting the status quo in the USA to get their business model introduced across the USA and worldwide and complaining when some states make it difficult, then on the other hand Tesla make...

The Model 'S' I mentioned seems to be just fine mechanically and structually There seems to be only side swipe damage causing that superficial panel damage and the wing mirror totalled. I dont know what you guys in the USA call the 'wing mirror' ... side mirror I guess >> Cheers, Peter

I was thinking more along the line that when someone (non-australian) comes in as an immigrant or even a returning Australian being away for a number of years returns that there is no duty or other levies, generally a vehicle can come in tariff free ? Peter

Guests > With the RHD Model 'S' delivery imminent in the next few months I have both a (technical and political) question. Technical :Will the RHD which is coming into AUS be the same hardware 'specifications' as that which is currently being delivered to the UK, as it is my understanding...

Dont know either about the shipping > It went from the USA to Germany OK so I presume the reverse would also be OK ??? Anyhow let me know if any interest at all. Cheers .. Peter

I know of a (structurely sound) blue 85kw Model 'S' that has panel damage on the (right hand) passenger side back door, passenger door, wing mirror, and front wheel panel. Details: 85 kW, delivered March 2013 in Louisiana. Vehicle was owned privately with about 3000 miles on the...

Hi Chickenlittle > That sounds appropriate pertaining to service and maintainance issues between countries, what about simply ordering spare parts to replace panel damage which is not a service issue !! What about in the USA, can an owner move across state lines with his Tesla to live and...

Hi guys this is Peter in New Zealand with some questions pertaining specifically to someone whom purchased of a second hand Model 'S' from someone in Texas and had it exported to Germany. The vehicle has some 'panel damage' to the passenger side but otherwise sound ! My understanding from...

First Tesla UK Supercharger appears to be at South Mimms motorway services on London’s orbital M25 motorway. Vehicles arriving June 7th if all goes to schedule.

Guess with the first 'RHD' Modewl 'S' due June 7th in the UK that Aus/NZ could be next !!! We live in hope downunder (-:

Hi TP > thanks for the prompt reply. I will follow up on the link you kindly provided > Cheers. Peter in NZ

I've heard that a RHD Model 'S' is currently being pre-tested by the compliance branch in Canberra prior to it's introduction into AUS. Does anyone know the status of this information and any other news about the Model 'S' being available in AUS. Regards, Peter

Ive heard that some drivers in Japan & HK are choosing to purchase the Left Hand Drive Tesla even where RHD are the norm in a country. Wonder is that to get a vehicle quicker or just because they like a LHD ... Regards, Peter in New Zealand - BTW (It ROCKS) in NZ

Tesla Fan Webpage - New Zealand I agree with you, we need to lobby the right people to make it work. Having said that, there certainly is some good interest in NZ from the general public for Tesla. I have in fact set up a freelance "Tesla Fan Page" using my "bluehydrogen" company domain. Am...

Yes I read that article. It seems Gerry is postive about Tesla and it's future. This is the first time I have seen a National party government minister push the interest and introduction of EV's in NZ> There now needs to be some form of incentive structure set up in NZ, hopefully sooner rather...
