    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    While your optimism is fairly unreasonable, at least it is consistently unreasonable. I have no agenda. I'm not selling anything. I am a realist. When everyone thought the car would come last year, I said Q2, Q3.-I got shot down. With everything that happened after New Year, I said Q4, Q1 2023...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    And suddenly the almost dead forum jumps alive. Happy for you guys. Unfortunately for me, 6-9 months too late (if not counting from October last year). I wouldn't hold my breath getting the car this year though... just saying. I'd probably look at early next year. But if you've held off this...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Nonsense. Heard the same thing about Ionic 5 in October last year on this forum, when speculations were high that MY would open orders and deliver for Xmas or January latest... too painful to remember? I said Q2 2022 earliest. Most likely Q3. Just the other day I saw two Ionic 5s in CBD. How...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    This may very well be one of my last posts on this thread. Some of you may even feel relieved. Unlike most of you, I have owned a MY and I love the car to bits, but work brought me over here and I had to sell it. We settled for a M3 as our first car in Australia because we needed something...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Dear Vostok. Thank you for your suggestion. Since you called my name out, I feel compelled to respond. I merely reflected the polite and respectful attitude you refer to by responding to the poster using the very same specific word of endearment he used in a prior post. I assure you I never...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Well sweetie, it is China absolutely. Zhejiang Province (not Shanghai) for sure. And the PS2 cars are in Australia guaranteed. Tesla on the other hand is stuck in Shanghai. With a much bigger market outside Australia screaming much louder. I don't think people realize how locked down Shanghai...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    What a great initiative sweetie. You can update it to negative 3 (-3). Not waiting around any longer longer. Have a PS2 with VIN in Australia to be delivered soon Reality check. Shanghai will continue lockdown for quite some time. War on COVID by Mr Xi. God bless the stupid fool. We all know...

    Ah, an early electric April's Fool joke. You should have waited with the delivery for effect. Premature ejoke? 😂

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Maybe we will see a MY soon. Maybe not. I still haven't given up on Tesla, but even if book opens up in May, my good friends stand firm. No delivery until Q3 earliest. They've been right so far. I said this last year in October when everyone was cheering for Giga Berlin. Look how long that took...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Everyone was so positive about GigaBerlin. I did point it out: no cars before mid January I believe I said. At best. And I hate to be right on this. Environmentalists do have a say in Germany, just look at the debacle with the new Brandenburg airport. The laws are very strong. Delayed a decade...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Is it only my wife starting to get really angry at that "Stay Updated" button for MY? She says it must be the most useless button in mankind's history! I'm starring to think she may be right.

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Wife is getting fed up waiting for MY. She really wants it, but it doesn't look good. If we don't hear anything before December, we won't see anything before Q2 with Performance most likely coming first. My bet is still on Q3 earliest for LR. Demand is just too high. We are getting a bunch of M3...

    No reason to wear out your finger. Get a free app like Change Detection on Google Play. Set it up and you'll get a message when there are changes on the MY Australia page. This app has no ads and it is free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bernaferrari.changedetection I'm...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    I know one thing that would make people run towards EVs and embrace the technology and make even the current government beg people to buy EVs. It is probably far fetched, and it will cause a lot of pain for many households. Oil price is trading at around 84 USD per barrel. Bank of America...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    @RareEarth and @Electric Mouse and others... I feel you are all asking the wrong question: "When is Model Y coming", instead of "Why isn't Model Y coming anytime soon". @Chuq Planting a seedling or two doesn't make a forrest. Tesla has planted lots of seeds in many countries. Now they look...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    The message reads what it says. The northern hemisphere has the right political climate for Tesla to go into full bloom and reap the harvest. Australia is not ready. This may be until the climate (Morrison) makes a similar pledge to EV industry and the market is ready. I've come to understand...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    I wish I could share your optimism... With Giga Berlin hitting roadblocks, even if orderbook opens, Shanghai's RWD will go to UK for a foreseeable future. Giga Berlin will most likely do nothing until mid December at best. You can thank the otherwise efficient German politicians for that...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    That's what I thought. But now it is added on the main specs page of Tesla Model Y. If I go to the UK site and want to order a MY LR, it says nothing of Premium Connect. When I place my car in the giant shopping cart and go to payment, it says 30 days Premium Connect. Not a dealbreaker, but so...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    My Android phone showed an update on the Model Y web page today. Scuffled over in hopes to be massively surprised even though I don't hink we will see model Y anytime soon. Apparently there was a change in the specs (if you expand the specs at the bottom of the page by pressing the plus sign)...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Lol. No... No... not a generalization. Check the literature. CEOs are over-represented by far having these and many other mental and behavioural diagnoses. It is quite an interesting reading actually. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings. :oops: Now, about the Model Y... The longer Tesla waits...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    If this is true, then one can wonder what is wrong with the Japanese car industry? I don't know what's most concerning? - Toyota trying to overthrow the US president? When they fail, they try to stop his policies? - Nissan CEO is put in jail and flees the country in a box and lives in exile? -...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Hold-up a minute. Is this Mazda the first innovative entry into the EV market for the company? I'm sorry, but who was the genious behind the design? It's not a Bentley or a Rolls with suicide doors. Because it just isn't. So why try? It's not a full-sized suicide door - making it impossible to...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Seriously? What's with the half-baked retrofitted I3 door? I thought we were done with those. Tries to compete with Model 3? Hardly. This car is a obviously a mistake. Or a late April's fool. This can't be what Mazda wants people to buy?

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    Got an email from Tesla today. Opened it in anticipation that this was indeed the email I (and many others) have been waiting for and that maybe the original plan would hold up after all. It was all about Model 3. Right message. Wrong car. 🤬

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    That is true. NSW seems to lead the way. Some states seem to have an upper limit for some reason, making Model Y too expensive for the discount (LR). I find it is a mess just like in the US where you can get a great deal depending on which state you live in. There is no federal incentive or...

    Tesla Model Y in Australia

    I have a long history with Tesla. Been driving a Model S for quite a few years until reality caught up, got married, had to make downpayments and got twins. The S became a 3. My wife loved both cars but opted for Model Y when it was time to upgrade her old Mustang. In the middle of Covid, she...
