I think you've got your wires crossed, I don't even understand your argument! Bowing out of this one.

I think you might be confusing me for someone else! I don't own a Model 3 (yet), though I would if I didn't live in car-unfriendly Manhattan. But agreed, purchasers that hadn't even taken delivery when the pricing change was announced do seem to be more deserving of some special treatment.

In that case, assuming you elected to not purchase the PUP for the reason that it contained option(s) you didn't want, then it would be fair to say that even if the PUP had been a $0-cost option at the time, you wouldn't have taken it. I think, if we're trying to figure out what refunds...

Aah, got it! Thanks for the info, will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Excuse my ignorance, but isn't the refund only available for those who bought the Performance Upgrades package at the additional cost of $5k (ie. the "+"?)

Few lazy Sunday spots...

Teslas ordered from the start of 2017 will have free "supercharging credits" included annually, with usage on top of that amount charged - sign of things to come and an attempt to keep the supercharger infrastructure available once they start shipping all those Model 3s? An Update to Our...

Model S P100DL now available on the Australian configurator: Order a Tesla Model S | Tesla Australia Total cash price for a fully-optioned vehicle is as high as $307,687 in WA. Ouch!

I think a lot of them were sold as demos, I remember being offered a non-autopilot P85+ ready for delivery at a pretty good price as an alternative to buying new in mid-2015.

I'm sure this one's already been spotted, but I enjoyed driving behind this new-blue interstate visitor in Melbourne this morning!

I'm not sure that's correct, I wouldn't suggest giving up your 3 reservation just yet, particularly if you got in early. While Tesla have said that priority will be given to existing owners, I'd assumed that meant "out of those who had made a reservation", not that existing owners without a...

Website looks cool, as soon as you guys offer the service in Melbourne I'd definitely take a day or two.

Wow, that price rise... a maxed-out P90DL is now $287k in WA. Will it push over the $300k mark once the 100kWh battery makes an appearance?

I wonder how resale value of the S might go in a few years, once there are plenty of Xs about and the 3 starts delivery locally. Be interesting to see, we might finally get a more active second-hand Tesla market like the US has had for a few years now.

Surely at a length of 6 metres, the cost difference in cable gauge isn't a big deal?

Hopefully, hold off after #199,999 and deliver all the overseas orders ;)

RN10003509X / VIC / in store / non-owner / 31st march. Glad to be back in the Tesla game, nice work with the spreadsheet, timpoo!

Looks like the queueing has already started, haha... Meet the first person in the queue for a Tesla Model 3 in Australia

I'm gonna head to Richmond on Thursday morning :) Hope the queues aren't too crazy!

Australia (right-hand drive) - expecting first half of 2019 here, if we're lucky :)

I'm kinda hoping we'll be able to place reservations next Thursday (the 31st) in store, though of course we'll have no idea what we're reserving at that time! Dunno if this article is at all accurate, but it suggests we might... Tesla Model 3: Australian buyers to get first bite at cherry |...

Anyone planning on rocking down to the Richmond VIC store next Thursday/Friday (which day will it be)? ;)

Despite there being a whole heap in Melbourne, and driving to work every day to the legal end of the CBD, it's still pretty rare that I spot Teslas on the commute! A few hundred isn't as many as you'd think in the context of a city.

Has this P85 been spotted before?

The only way that the car could know that someone is inside, would be if they had a key on them. (versus say, a thief breaking / reaching through an open window to use the interior door handle)

The one in front is Pearl, right? Cool photo!

Great community response, nice work guys :) Can I ask what sort of stuff you're doing at Tesla, Joel?

Can't wait for them to expand to Melbourne! Pretty sure the owner is on this forum?

Not having the internet browser on the centre console would not preclude the car from offering a hotspot, as far as I'm aware. However, as noted, it seems like hotspot isn't a feature available anywhere in the world.

Yeah, sounds very outdated. 18" wheels? Unlikely.

Good luck with that price...

I'm betting that it was purchased for less than the asking price, too. When I called up a few months back to ask about inventory/demo cars here in Aus, I was offered a pre-autopilot loaded P85+ in sig red with all the goodies for about $140k.

Looks like the new blue!

I'm definitely seeing more on the roads... during a short 20-minute trip from the Melbourne CBD to South Yarra the other night, passed three Model S on the way!

Yeah I think this might be "ZAPZAP" that was listed a while ago in Victoria - the seller had it listed for private sale at $140k for a while, then put it up on eBay and I think it got to $85k or something before bidding stopped. Reason for sale sounded pretty dodgy at the time too - apparently...

The seller will definitely struggle to get $50k now, since the CPO launch. Should've sold when he could!

Haha, that article is so obviously a fake. Littered with typos and the second half reads like a (poorly written) advertisement for the company.

Not so sure about that.

Wow, nice. I think that's the first of the three new colours we've seen locally!

Very nice spec!

Man, I wish I lived in the US, would be all over this in a flash!

Congrats on the sale, and good on you for reporting the final sale price!

Nope, except for supercharging the charger is inside the car (hence dual chargers vs single as an option), so what enters the vehicle in Australia/Europe (3-phase) is different to what enters U.S. models.

Spotted: Silver P85 with what looked like non-Tesla dark rims with the plate "LWI" travelling up William St in the Melbourne CBD this morning!

This thread started off well - the OP seemed to recognise that people on this forum hold pretty strong opinions about the value of used Teslas, and actually invited honest opinions from the masses. But then, as soon as the opinion doesn't match the convictions he obviously already held, goes on...

Indeed, I was including the federal and CA rebates, as the seller is in CA so considered it a fair comparison.

Heh. Needless to say, you can buy a new car with the same options, plus the next-gen seats and autopilot hardware, for $75,570 if you're in CA.

I don't think there's any shortage of enthusiasm in the younger generations for the Tesla, the means to purchase one, on the other hand, are more of an issue. If you don't mind me asking, what is it that you do for a living that has enabled you to buy a Tesla at 22?

Definitely not to my taste, but that's some great workmanship, and it looks like it was fitted at the factory!

Yeah, it was great! Heaps of interesting speakers. Sorry, didn't make the connection until you mentioned the conference. I work with Sebastian and co. Not surprised that there's so many Tesla fans within the dev world! Giancarlo
