    Brisbane – After Sale Service?

    Hi Juhas2610. Have you needed any minor panel work in Cairns. Anyone that you would recommend in Cairns to fix a small scrape on a Tesla? Does anyone else have any recommendations for Cairns?

    Insurance quotes for Australian M3?

    I am expecting my 3LR next week (in Brisbane this week). Some insurers are asking if mine is MY21 or MY21 UPDATE. I have contacted my sales person to ask (as I can't find anything in my account etc) but haven't yet go a reply. Does anyone know whether the 3LRs arriving in Brisbane are MY21 or...

    Great advice on the VIN, I will check on mine. Thanks to all of you for letting me know that I am not the only one. Makes me feel more confident.

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    On May 5 I received a text telling me that "An estimated delivery range will now appear in your account". However, no delivery date has yet appeared. Also, my account has had a message for a few weeks saying “We will shortly upload a copy of your final invoice to your Tesla account.“ That also...

    Tesla Model 3 in Australia

    What accessories are must haves? I have been told that our M3LR is due in Brisbane in early June and it will then be shipped up to us in Cairns. We do little klms so won't be getting a charger. I want a spare wheel - is it best to get that from Tesla? Same with the repair kit and also lock...

    Brisbane – After Sale Service?

    Damn, that is exactly what I am concerned about. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Hmmm, we will have to think a bit more deeply about whether we want to jump in just now or wait and hope after sales service improves in the future. Good luck to you and...

    Brisbane – After Sale Service?

    Has anyone had experience dealing with Tesla Brisbane to resolve issues after delivery? I would love to hear your thoughts, good, bad or indifferent. We live in Cairns and are ready to buy but first want to know if it is too much of a risk living so far away from the nearest Tesla office...

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    Thanks re thoughts on USD price drops filtering through to here. I will cross my fingers that you are right and that my earlier thoughts were too cynical. Macrotrends 2019 average of 0.70-0.71 is obviously pretty correct and closer to the mark than your earlier posting saying it was 0.71c...

    Also could go to 69c.

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    The trouble is, once the Aug/Sep shipments are full, further sales will come on later shipments. If they announced a price drop after the Aug/Sep deliveries are made, all of the newer purchasers that were made after the filling of those shipment, could likewise cancel and re-order. I don't...

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    Very true re their hedging position. Your thoughts, along with those of EcoCloud & JGDC, are much appreciated. haven't put me any closer on deciding whether to go leaf or Tesla - nor when to pull the trigger. We will probably be replacing our other car late this year or early next year - so...

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    I disagree that the AUD averaged 0.71 in 2019. See: XE: AUD / USD Currency Chart. Australian Dollar to US Dollar Rates There is also the recent drops in price in the US, China & elsewhere. The S recently dropped USD$5000 and the 3 dropped $USD2,000. Do you think those drops will be reflected...

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    Thanks for your thoughts; they sound very sensible. If my wife had her way, we would just get a Leaf right now because of the increased price difference. I am going to hold on though until the 1st week of July. I would hate to cave before then and get the Leaf - to then see the 3 and the S...

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    What makes you say that? Throughout the 2nd half of the 2019 calendar year, the AUD mostly hovered between 67 and 69 cents US with only a few brief forays above or below that range. Then in 2020, the AUD nosedived through 65c in January 2020 and then down to 57c in March. By the end of the...

    Pumping up our tyres

    Would the makita electric lawn mower do OK on a damp weedy lawn? I live in the northern tropics so it is sometimes rare to have nice dry lawns to mow .

    LOL!!!;!

    Hmmm; prices went up when the AUD crashed due to coronavirus effects on markets so I guess that means that prices would now be restored to the previous levels - as for the last 3 weeks plus the AUD has been back at the same levels seen prior to AUD drop caused by coronavirus market effects...

    Will stronger AUD lead to price drop

    Before making the final decision to buy, we are waiting to see if Tesla treats the Australian market equitably. It would seem fair that as prices went up when the AUD crashed due to coronavirus effects on markets that prices would now be restored to the previous levels as for the last 3 weeks...

    Hi people Can anyone advise me how I can create a thread? I can create threads as sub-threads on some US threads but can't see the 'Create Thread' button when on the Australian threads. Any advice will be very appreciated.

    Hey Rohan; how's the deep blue metallic paintwork holding up? If I purchase, we are still tossing up between the beep blue and the white.

    Yes, and the AUD is in the same price range that it was in throughout August and September 2019. Plus the US price has reduced since then.

    Deep Blue Metallic - Show me pictures of your car today!

    Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. If I know which other car maker's blue it looks similar to, I would go an view one of their cars to get a good idea of the Tesla metallic blue. I will probably order the blue anyway; rather than the white which is the other color that we have been...

    Tesla prices have just dropped in the US. Does anyone know if the Australian prices will now drop - particularly since the AUD has appreciated against the USD by over 25% in the last couple of months?
