    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    So close to delivery dates... I'm not waiting for the plethora of people who suddenly have to move overseas and thus sell their Model Ys.

    Repair/Parts wait times in Australia

    Well they certainly operated like there was no continuity, I was on the phone for 55 minutes while the NRMA rep put me on hold to speak to the SIXT rep... I think it would have been easier if I just paid upfront for my own car then have them reimburse me.

    Repair/Parts wait times in Australia

    That's the same issue I came across. Even tho I'm with NRMA and Sixt is supposed to be owned by NRMA (they must operate as a separate entity completely) and they have EVs, the MG and M3... I was not offered those options... weirdly I remember when my NRMA rep told me the daily rate she could get...

    Repair/Parts wait times in Australia

    I've had mixed reception with NRMA regarding EVs, I was basically told I could hire one myself and they would reimburse me up to a daily cap, (you'll be surprised to know it was not enough to get another M3 but I could have hired an MG EV) but they wouldn't agree to give me one through their...

    What to expect taking delivery of your Model 3

    Drive on a multilane highway at LEAST 80km/h for as long as you can to caliberate the cameras, Tesla service told me this and it worked when I just drove from where I live to the Airport in Sydney. Wish they made that more explicit because I was stuck on 99% for ages. I usually drove on a 6 lane...

    Model Y Accessories for Australia

    Right, I forgot to mention that list is basically what I bought for my M3, and I would be getting most of it again for the MY but not all. Essentially listing items I've received that I know are decent in quality so if anyone wanted something I have first hand experience with :)

    Model Y Accessories for Australia

    alliwantisaY below is for you, I couldn't work out how to quote properly so this is the best I can do haha. I've listed Sydney as it's easier for logistics but more importantly it's easier for accountability, as in people can come to me easier if there are issues with stuff. I can actually...

    Why would you make a statement like "I think you kind of went crazy" and then proceed to ask me why I would need the Tesla emblem lights? You're asking a question you already know the answer too. 🤣🤣

    haha yeh those are the worst, when chances are they've never sighted the items or factories given how hard it is to travel into China

    Model Y Accessories for Australia

    I don't mind people trying to make a quid, all for it. I just won't be paying anyone who does add value and overcharge. below are the bunch of stuff I've ordered, most of the stuff I've already had for the M3 Best i could do with descriptions haha... so are most of these unused and still in...

    Model Y Accessories for Australia

    Of the dozens and dozens of accessories I bought, floor mats weren't one, I like the stock carpet as they dry quick and dont smell even after me dragging my wet shoes in. Model Y floor mats are actually hard to come by in RHD, i haven't seen any readily available but there are two places I've...

    Model Y Accessories for Australia

    I get my staff in China to buy from Taobao or direct from factories (if they can be found) a lot of them have popped up dedicated to EVs as their market is immense. Taobao being essentially a retail platform has advantages of reviews on retailers and items (there are plenty of fake reviews to...

    Model Y Accessories for Australia

    Interior cabin stuff are almost uniform across the 3 and Y, dimensions not withstanding. The one extra item i am aware of with the Y also allows a storage bin underneath the front seats, the 3 isn't tall enough. That first time seems rubbish given it takes up room inside the console, the photo...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Nothing wrong with that at all, all about personal preference. I wish they had this original silver tho, would have taken it in a heartbeat. You've inspired me to check out a full wrap in this colour, I thought I was happy with my white with black wrap accents combo

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    How does everyone else feel about the tiny slither of a read window in the hatchback door? It took a lot to get used to coming from a M3, may need to have cameras on the entire time, the lack of visibility was a bit of an issue on the M3. Im gonna worry everytime I reverse in the Y.

    MIC 2021/22 AC problem - anyone in the Oz forum had this?

    I just went and tested, can confirm. This is real. I took delivery in March and was away for all of April, so the time I even needed aircon was limited given how rained out our March was in Sydney. But I remember thinking "im not feeling the aircon on my face", my old car like most had the...

    Tesla Model Y-LR in Australia

    with the way price rises are going, I think those of us who ordered the MYP will be laughing as by the time the LR comes out it'll probably be more expensive than the P is today.

    Ordering and Stamp Duty Exemption in NSW Help!

    You could asking if there's a cheaper license plate option if they already gave you the premium... can't really think of any other way to cut down costs

    Ordering and Stamp Duty Exemption in NSW Help!

    Whoever said that they would do it separately is absolutely lying to you. But also, did you already order the LR? Because the Price of the LR is now over 80K including GST?

    Tesla Model Y-LR in Australia

    They're just keeping up with MYLR in the UK and they've been able to order since OCT21, whatever capacity in Shanghai given to RHD MYLR will be given priority to the UK first (The waiting lit for MYLR if you order now in the UK is Oct-Dec 2022). Because we already have two models available and...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Ordered today as well RWD, White on White. FWIW, it's highly unlikely we will get the LR, with the exception of China (including HK) that gets all three, every other market seems to only get two variants of the Model Y.

    Make sure the service centre CLOSES your ticket.

    Mate, you answered your own statement. Like any normal person I was trying to contact them the entire time, I even told the dealership what was happening and if they could take note. In classic Tesla fashion, when I called again to follow up, they acted like they didn't know anything or even...

    Make sure the service centre CLOSES your ticket.

    I've gotta say this is one of the stupidest oversight by Tesla. I had my car booked in Friday for a free warranty check, my services tab on the app was left on estimates where it was $0.00 so I didn't think I needed to do anything. Show up to my appointment, get a tour of the place and some...

    Tesla Hits Pedestrian ‘On Autopilot’ Melbourne Australia.

    I honestly think it's a combo of her trying to shift blame, that part sounds sexy to the Murdoch goons and they run with it "Automatic Electric Car meant for yuppies hits innocent blue collar Australian... driven by an Immigrant"... okay that's tongue in cheek but you get what I mean

    Tesla Hits Pedestrian ‘On Autopilot’ Melbourne Australia.

    Remember that it's the claim of the driver at fault that it was "autopilot", a driver with a *sugar* record that could be trying to shift blame. Media picks up story because it's sexy and to hell with fact checking, I won't be surprised at all if this comes back completely the drivers and auto...

    Comprehensive insurance recommendations in NSW Australia

    If you have other policies with NRMA then the 15% discount helps, I have home policies and NRMA membership so my RWD at 77000 agreed value is 1911 per year and the LR is agreed at 90000 for 2287 per year. Both policies are the Comprehensive Plus which I believe is the top cover at NRMA Hope...

    Condensation in tail lights

    Log anything unusual in, your case is not USUAL, there isn't meant to be condensation when there isn't even rain. Inspect the whole car as much as you can, I've recently had Tesla try and pull bullshit tactics related to "it's been xx days since you picked up, it's not us it's you".

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I got my invoice weeks before pick up date was finalised. I received a sms approx 10 days before the two days i was given to choose pick up from and it's suggested you have payment finalised 48 hours before pick up, although if you have proof of remittance on the day of pick up I am sure...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    That wasn't an option for me unfortunately, oh well. The people are nice enough to deal with, but they have their own rules and parameters to operate within, so it is what it is I guess.

    Ideal or Cost Effective Home Charging

    Just wanted to thank you for this, i've been trying to find good info for weeks but it has just eluded me. I mostly just wanted to find out if I would need to have a Tesla Wall Charger, but it seems your suggestions might be the way to go first. Thanks again

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I honestly don't know with the difference I'm wondering the same thing. I can understand the arguments people are making for % over Km but I feel like I'm missing a bit of data, tho i do trust some of the opinions given are based on good knowledge. And as far as pick up is concerned, I've had...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    That does make sense but I also see what other people are talking about. This approach is essentially the same as looking at your ICE fuel gauge and basing travel on that that instead of the predicated KMs as has been mentioned before, I just wonder why it seems now to be the preferred method...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    To anyone who wants to move dates on pick up, it's next to impossible for that to occur. I got the sms on the 22nd to arrange pick up for either the 3rd or the 4th, I was going to be away during that time so called my SA as soon as I got the sms. Thinking it wouldn't be too difficult given I...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I did as you suggested and it seems the hotline could see availability at the date i needed but the dealership itself wasn't as helpful and just confirmed a date on my behalf this morning without even consulting with me. Will try again today.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Has anyone been able to move their delivery date? I got the sms yesterday but the two dates given to me I'm actually away for (Birthday getaway planned a long while ago). The SA hasn't really been that helpful as I need to move the date back two or three days. The SA gave me a conveyor belt...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Hi everyone, I was originally searching for advice on charging installations in Sydney and stumbled across this thread. Learned a lot, didn't even know anything about the new updates like Ryzen chips and all tho so I thought I'd share the info I've received from my Tesla Person at Chatswood in...
