    Australian Tesla Ceramic Coating, PPF, Tinting and other Accessories

    Yes i've had three vehicles have full PPF/ceramic and tinting at Tinthaus including my Model Y and BMW M3 Competition. The guys are great and do excellent work. My MY had XPL Stealth installed for the matt/satin look over the metallic silver, looks fantastic, with a ceramic over the top...

    Describe your initial impressions upon new delivery of 2023 Model Y

    I've had my RWD for about 3 weeks and have had it PPF'd with Xpel Stealth and a ceramic coating, all windows tinted with ceramic film. Really like the overall look. Overall very happy with the vehicles build quality and ride, the updated suspension is a real improvement. Steering is very...

    They have done a really good job on the suspension as usually increasing comfort results in a very soft/cushy handling car and/or a lot of body roll, both of which don't come through in this version. As someone that does a reasonable amount of track driving and know's a little on suspension...

    Thought I'd post a quick summary of my delivery experience over the weekend for my RWD Y. Picked up from Chatswood on Saturday afternoon, this must be one of the smaller locations in Australia as they only do 30 deliveries a day which reduces to 15 on Saturday due to test drive commitments...

    Given i'm picking up my car tomorrow morning it's time to exit this forum and transfer across to the owners one. It's been a great place over the last six months to speculate on arrival timing, lament the erratic EDD movements and fume over shipping congestion!

    They called as the vehicle was arriving earlier than expected. They where pretty tight on available times though. But they did say I could keep the original time if i preferred. No, before confirming the change he queried that i could pay in full prior to the new delivery date. Settled the...

    Interesting, does anyone recall the last Tesla ship to arrive in Port Kembla that left China after 3/4? The build date is what had me convinced it was on Passama as it left a few days after build. I did put my VIN into the other Tesla shipping company website (sorry can't recall name) and didn't...

    Ok now i'm confused. I'm a NSW RWD order from November build date 3/4 and have a booked delivery for 22/5. I thought my vehicle was on Viking Passama which departed the factory on 7/4 and was due to dock at Port Kembla around 29/4. It was delayed in Brisbane so moved to 9/5 and then got pushed...

    Actually thats a good point, i know I'm on Passama as my build date is 3/4 and it left on 7/4. But what happened to all the cars of Viking Sea as i haven’t seen many delivery notification messages for Sydney cars in recent weeks here or on any of the other regular Tesla delivery forums. I wonder...

    Just got my schedule delivery message as well for Sydney pickup options where 22 or 23 of May. Order was placed in Nov for RWD Y Black/Silver with inductions, build date 3/4. That confirms that it must be on Viking Passama which docks this Monday. A week from docking to delivery is pretty good.

    The wide interest rate is part of how leasing companies make money, its also reflective of the fact that its an unsecured credit line. For reference my Y is funded via a chattel mortgage through my business at 5.2%. Its a competitive rate but also secured against my business from a funding...

    PPF Advice please

    I have PPF (Suntek) with ceramic on both of my non Tesla's and would never own another vehicle without it. It will be going on my Model Y when it arrives as well. Other then protecting from stone chips and other common scratches, think kids school bags, tree branches etc it will also protect...

    NSW port delays strike again, Viking Passama now won't dock until Monday 15th instead of tomorrow. Following this my EDD has now moved to 12 May - 2 June

    My build date is 3/4 for NSW and my EDD lines up with Passama docking on Wednesday for delivery in the weeks following. EDD is today to 28/5

    And according to the Port Kembla arrivals page due in at 9am on Wednesday. My EDD window starts today so fingers crossed it unloads quickly.

    My VIN just appeared in RAV, wasn't there yesterday. From what i've read this seem's to generally happen when the carrier docks for the first time in Australia. I sold my existing car last night so hopefully delivery isn't to far away. For reference my build date 3/4 RWD Silver/Black with...

    I've never really been able to understand why you would signup for VedaPrime, it's not like it makes it arrives quicker or even adds any certainty to the arrival date given the port situation.

    My EDD just updated from 1/5 - 22/5 to 9/5 - 30/5. My order is a RWD Black/Silver with 20" Inductions and a build date of 3/4 for NSW. Given the build date this would seem to line up with Viking Passama that arrives into PK on 8/5 (theoretically). Also can anyone comment on the quality of the...

    So for NSW orders with an EDD of 1/5 to 22/5 do we think the cars are on Viking that arrives on the 8th or Paganella on the 12th? Is there a current NSW EDD before the 1st to 22nd that hasn’t been delivered yet?

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    My build date was 3/4 so assuming i’m on Viking Passama which arrives into Port Kembla on 8/5. Interesting to see there are two more ships Morning Crystal and Pagebella both due on the 12th. That sounds super unlikely.

    I ordered a wall charger late last year (Sydney Metro) and it was delivered within 48 hours via Star track. I also ordered some accessories last week on a Sunday night and they where delivered Tuesday, again via Star track. My tracking info worked both times.

    That won't really work as if you depreciate it your cost base on sale will be zero so anything you make will be fully assessable and you need to add GST on sale (assuming your registered for GST). If your thinking of not including the sale in your GST and tax return I'd advise against it as the...

    My EDD has also updated to the same range as everybody else (Nov RWD order). Interestingly my Tesla trade in offer is now 40% lower than when i placed the order which doesn't seem right given that mileage hasn't really changed. I was expecting a small decrease but not 40%. Might take it up with...

    Ordered mid November MSM/Black/Induction RWD NSW delivery and just received the vehicle assigned email. I have a trade in request loaded which I believe blocks the VIN until the trade is accepted, but exciting times.

    With my RWD Y build (Silver/Black) and induction wheels the price difference in NSW is $19k and no FBT exemption. Not worth it my mind for the modest range increase or acceleration. But happy for those with an outstanding RWD order to switch if it helps bring my order forward ;)

    November order MY RWD black/silver, no VIN or EDD yet and finding it really unlikely that its going to make a May delivery.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I'm not liking my chances of a Feb-May delivery for a November ordered MY RWD (Black/Silver) if August orders have an EDD through May. Normally i wouldn't care to much but i'm overseas for a large chunk of June and needed this delivered by 30/6 for tax reasons (accelerated depreciation)!

    A good quality PPF provider will offer a front end PPF and all over ceramic package. They will ofter also PPF any other panels that are known to get stone chips from tyre pickup for that specific vehicle. Usually its about 70% cheaper than a full PPF. I’m not sure about every brand of PPF out...

    Ive got a RWD from early November which I'm not expecting for a while but for the last week whenever i open the Tesla all (which i use for my Powerwall) it opens into a page that looks like the one you use to manage a vehicle before moving to the Powerwall screen. Nothing else has changed, ie i...

    So based on this there's little hope for a November order to meet the current Feb-May EDD if a July order is Apr-May

    I’m Thanks, this is great advice and I'll hold out a bit longer. I noticed that there's some used inventory available today on Tesla's site but it seems a bit over priced, $55k for a 2019 M3 SRP with 55k kms? The only benefit is that I can easily trade my exisiting vehicle.

    So have a bit of a dilemma. Based on what i read this morning on Teslerati that Q1 export run is complete its probably safe to say my MY order wont arrive until May (placed in Nov for Sydney). My current ICE vehicle isn’t going to last much longer so i need a replacement to tied me over. I...

    Interested to get peoples views on the likelihood of receiving my vehicle (RWD) in the Feb - May window advised by Tesla given i ordered at the start of November. What doesn't make sense to me is that it if they are only filling June/July orders now in Feb/March what hope does a November order...

    Interesting to see that delivery window for new RWD orders is now April - June, wonder what tham means, if anything, for Feb-May delivery window. Given that Tesla Germany is now ramping up that they would take some of the Euro delivery load which would free up China

    Thanks just got one! Still haven't gotten a restock notification from Tesla. Just hoping my car arrives before 31 March (November order) so I don't need to buy a UMC.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Just noticed that both the UMC and wall connector are out of stock. How often does that happen. I wasn't going to order my wall connector until I had a VIN assigned given this usually means you have about a month to delivery, but if they go out of stock I might just order as soon as they re appear.
