    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    The delivery of our Tesla Model Y (originally on the Glovis Caravel) has taken so long, that we will no longer be eligible to pick it up in NSW. We moved to Victoria a couple of weeks ago. Tesla says they "will need a physical address in NSW linked to your person to register the vehicle"...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    We do long distances, and the RWD variant has been great. So much so, that we’ve ordered another one (a Model Y). We’ve driven our Model 3 up to Cape Tribulation in Queensland and down to the Great Ocean Road in Victoria and everywhere in between. 50,000km in just over one year...

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I received the “get ready” SMS this morning. Been on hold for two hours with CBA to increase my daily payment limit. My car was on the Euphony Ace ship. The Carways Track and Trace tracking website still doesn’t show my car’s VIN as trucked yet.

    This is one reason why we want to be sure we're paying into the right account: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-15/tesla-invoice-scam-costs-two-australians-electric-car-deposit/13226126

    I think only if: 1. It's highlighted in yellow 2. or, you want "another person" to collect it. 3. or, "if representing an organisation".

    I've managed to get these (and only these) working: /api/1/vitals /api/1/wifi_status /api/1/lifetime /api/1/version I'd really like to get an energy history and control max amps.

    Ooh, nice. I have been disappointed that I can't seem to connect the wall charger to any useful UI. Where are these APIs documented? I had to use http instead of https, but got this: { "contactor_closed": false, "vehicle_connected": false, "session_s": 0, "grid_v": 218.6...

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    I’m just getting my (own) company to buy it and I will use it. No GST, FBT or leasing interest.

    Yes, all from Tessories. A few items not shown in the photo, such as the boot hook, camping mattress, jack pads.

    Labor Electric Car FBT discount

    Yeah, something like that. I am planning for my small company to buy the car, then fully expense it over one year or maybe three years. No FBT for personal use. If/when FBT exemption ends, then I might personally buy it, depending on personal usage at the time etc.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Several people seem to be reporting that Tesla is bringing their EDD forward by a couple of weeks. Has anyone figured out the criteria or cut off for this? My EDD is currently August 24 - September 5, but I have a road trip planned (long ago) starting on August 24 😞.
  14. BareFeetTom

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    You ordered the same as me, one week later, but are now getting it 2 weeks before me. I am guessing that you are getting someone's canceled order, rather than a new VIN assignment "on the water". Congrats!

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Tesla app updated in past couple of hours. I accepted change to Tesla Vision. EDD now says August 24 - September 5. 🥳. Except I leave on a road trip on August 24. Wondering how early I can pick up the Tesla. RWD white/white Chatswood Sydney. Ordered Jan 30.

    Good morning fellow empty garages. If you have a VIN (or even just an order), can you please update your details on the Teslike spreadsheet. Use the "Google Form" link at the top to add or edit your details. The links are also in my signature below. It would also help with context if you...

    I will have claimed all of the purchase before then (probably all in the first year), so I will have avoided all of the FBT on this purchase, even if it changes in three years time.
  22. BareFeetTom

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    In case anyone is interested, I checked with my accountant, who confirmed that my business can buy the Tesla outright, even if for mostly personal use, claim it all as an expense, claim back the GST as input tax credits, no FBT to pay. Also applies to charging, accessories, on road costs...

    If you don't have your mouse configured to have a right click, on a Mac just hold down the `control` key while clicking.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Yes. Sorry, that's what I meant. I am an employee of my own small business, so am considering getting my company to buy it for mostly my personal use. I'm wondering whether it's fine to just purchase it outright and still get the FBT exemption.
  25. BareFeetTom

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Is there any advantage or requirement to purchase through a novated lease, as opposed to the business just buying the car outright? Do we still get the FBT exemption etc?

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    I find that really annoying (not you, Tesla). I assumed that my January order for a Model 3 would get priority over a new order in June for a Model Y. If I had known that Tesla would prioritise the newer orders, I might have switched to a Y. 😞

    Tweet asking Tesla about the Aus queue priority sent out into the ether. Feel free to retweet. I'm sure Elon will answer and sort it out 😉.

    I don't think I could have prepped any more, but it hasn't made the car come sooner for me either 🙁.

    I just received my call from my sales advisor "Viv" at Tesla, Chatswood (Sydney). He's about 10 through 60 calls. Estimate changed from "14-20 weeks after order date" (May 8 to June 19) to now "Second half of 2022" 🙁.

    Great! Thank you. Everyone please go and add your order to the list, so we can gauge delivery dates. Those who have received a VIN or car would be especially helpful.

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Sounds good. Plus “location” from my original list. But would a spreadsheet have access for everyone to edit others’ entries, which probably isn’t good.
  42. BareFeetTom

    Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

    Hi all. Is there a table anywhere where Australians can enter their order date, location, model trim, VIN date, delivery date? That would help us all gauge expected delivery times.
