    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Also some RWD and LR on inventory but I am unsure if these are discounted

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    For those that might be interested Tesla is offering substantial circa $10k discounts on inventory MYP stock until June 30 2023. If had not had mine delivered I’d be tempted to lose my $400 ordering fee to save $10k

    Mismatched white dashboard trim

    Tesla service replaced the dash. Much better match now. Not perfect but better.

    Mismatched white dashboard trim

    I have this problem with the wood trims on a brand new car (I suspect arising from a sunny two to three month wait on Chinese and Singaporean docks). Waiting to hear what Tesla Australia will do.

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Update: one other issue of concern is the mismatch in colour between the wood grain dash and door inserts. its hard to see at delivery due to lighting but its pretty evident in direct sunlight. The result of an extended sunny stay on Singapore docks? The side of the dashboard is pretty close to...

    update: I picked up my MYP last week and have now had the chance to drive it enough to provide a few observations and comparisons to M3P. Pick up was straight forward and easy. Being a February build (two months on Singapore docks) the UMC was included and of course these cars have the USS but...

    Tomorrow is the big MYP pickup day! Sort of an anticlimax considering the long wait since June 10 last year. I just hope that the many months on the Singapore docks has not had any adverse impact.

    That's after its long holiday at the Singapore docks for two months.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Yes its been a long wait for some of us especially those that ordered on Day 1 June 10 last year. Finally getting my February 12 build MYP on Thursday.

    many with HW3 probably got a raw deal as the HW4 cars should be better equipeed to mange the alck of USS sensors. Many of the features that were removed have not yet been restored ( summon, smart summon etc)

    Tesla will need to advise customers who have current orders if they are making this change as happened For US , Uk and EU customers.

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    On another note 10% of this forum (going on waiting stats at the beginning of this Thread) must be pretty peeved at Tesla's decision to cancel Model S and X orders (I empathise with you). What do those that ordered S or X cars think of Tesla 's engineering design cock up in tooling for its...

    However there may be RWD and MYP VINs available in the current batch of cars as some orders were cancelled in favour of MYLR. There are still MYPs in WA inventory but no MY RWD unlike a few weeks back.
  15. M

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    A lot of BS there! The batch of 500 that just arrived in Fremantle have been in Singapore since March 18 ( and built early February). That is at least a 3 month wait. Even longer for day one MYP orders (11months!) The batch that arrived a few weeks back similarly had a long holiday on the salty...

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    The original "soft paint" concerns arose from the early production builds out of Freemont along with all of the panel gap mismatch critiscms. However I am not sure this was really that true as there was lots of 'Tesla bashing" going on and there seemed to be a resonable amount of 'noise" about...

    The major issue with the pearl white paint has been colour discrepancies (shade and tonal mismatch) between bumpers and metal painted parts and as you said with paint chips on bumpers that are produced in the native dark grey/black plastic . FWIW M3 production originally included a light silver...

    The story regarding the white paint is supposed to be that flat black was to be the base (no additional cost paint and is in many Asian countries) however Tesla Engineers convinced Elon in the early days (when the M3s were coming out of Freemont USA) that white was better at hiding defects than...

    Multi coat paint actually has another layer before the clear. There is a very small increase in cost and labor but more room to extract additional charge to the end customer. Often referred to as Pearl. Painting the multi coat white is basically a nonmetallic white base-coat, then a metallic...

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Not sure where the idea that the white paint is soft came from? Its a multicoat paint so it like the red paint, has an extra layer compared to black, blue and grey. My M3P is a white multicoat and I have had no issues with it.

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Yes most LR will be white due to tax concessions on novated leasing unless Tesla drops the price or lct limits rise.

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Whilst white is popular as it’s the only no additional cost option, only the red and white are multi coat paints. Everyone will have their own reasons for their colour choice. For me it’s between red and white due to the multi coat paint.As I like the white and not the red it’s white for me plus...

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Trade in $59k. :( Heaps of accessories including FSD remote boot release tinting etc but these don’t count in the valuation unfortunately

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    One year ago when car had 37k on odo offer was $77k. Car sales offer is now around $50k with just under 50k on odo. I guess no one wants M3Ps anymore. Certainly no private interest listed at $79k

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Thanks mine is the same spec.

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Fsd has no value in second hand sales atm. Need Elon to get fsd beta here and then it might.
  38. M

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    Yes same here. The second hand market is not interested. Mines been marked way down and below dealer sell price and still no interest ( even with fsd)

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    lol I don't disagree as that was my earlier interpretation some months back but someone corrected me that they were not RWD. I had not bothered to recheck or correct the earlier post as my interest in my MYP.

    there are M3P on World Spirit
  42. M

    Tesla Australia WAiting room (Perth WA)

    There is another shipment coming to Singapore shortly and then supposedly another transport ship following in World Spirit's wake. So there is a chance that you may have been bumped to the next shipment. Fingers crossed for you that is not the case.

    No launch control. Just press the accelerator to the floor and you launch lol

    yes unfortunately Tesla's order matching process seems to be based on a random number generator.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    that's a relatively short wait JD. Many with day one (June10 2022) MYP orders are still yet to receive their cars.

    There are M3P cars (about 85) loaded on World Spirit and due in Fremantle on May 5. If you have a VIN you can track your car on the Molace website
