    @Astro66 Hey mate, I got the same rack and tow bar as you and only now got around to putting the bike rack together. Have an issue where I cannot get bike rack shaft to slide onto the square receiver. I have noticed that where the drill holes have been made in the square receiver there is a burr...

    Model Y Tow Package available soon from Tesla Australia

    Hi I just ordered the EV stealth and the same bike rack as you did. I spoke with the guys at EV Stealth. FYI they told me that the tow hitch has a life time warranty but the install has a 12 month warranty.

    Charging Adaptors 101

    Hi guys, just got my model y rwd. Plugged it into, using UMC 10a tail, an outlet in my garage. Long story short it wont work. UMC 'tesla' lighting goes Red as does charge port. Get an error on my car screen saying 'inadequate outlet grounding'. Sounds like the garage wiring may not be grounded...

    Thank you, That explains it. I will check my UMC when I get home today. I was also wondering is it safe to use extension cords, I know there is a disclaimer on the tesla site saying do not use them but I have heard of people doing it out of necessity. Someone recommend getting a heavy duty...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    FYI tesla waited over a week, and only after a phone call from me to chase up, did they let me know there was an issue with my signature on my registration application form. Issue being it didn't match my drivers license. Have a feeling it held up my delivery but don't know for sure. Now into my...

    Hi guys, I just noticed in my tesla account that I can see 'Application for Registration' document which has highlighted sections presumably for me to fill out. However I haven't been notified from Tesla about this. Should I download this and fill it out and if so how do you submit it back to them?

    Model Y Tow Package available soon from Tesla Australia

    Do you need the plug in lights on the bike rack? I am probably going to do what you did and get the EV stealth tow bar for $1050 fitted by them at my house for $500. Then buy a bike rack that suits, might even get that same rack you got as it looks good and tilt feature looks good. I haven't...

    Model Y Tow Package available soon from Tesla Australia

    Yeah I think tom included the cost of the additional ball etc I got a quote from them to install and it was 450 if I drive to them or 500 if they come to me. So is the total cost $1050 plus $450 = 1500. Does that include the hitch and towball or is that extra?

    Model Y Tow Package available soon from Tesla Australia

    Gm guys, good to see the detailed posts about tow hitch installs. I notice some people decided to go with second party (non-tesla) tow hitches. I read that Tesla wont allow you to purchase the towing package software unless you buy the Tesla tow hitch. I have my model Y RWD arriving this month...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Is this 26k RFBA spread over the life of the lease or is reportable in the first year? Who should I speak to about this? I assume I should find a good tax agent who knows about this EV/FBT/novated lease situation? But finding someone like that is proving difficult.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    The 26k will not all be paid from pre tax income, there is a limit on how much they can take in pre-tax payment per year and it is nowhere near this much. I believe what 88squatch said is true, there is a grossing factor which is added back on and because of the grossing factor it means that...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Thanks Matt. To be 100% clear did you agree with how cafz explained it i.e. taxable income and specifically child support benefits will effectively remain the same because whatever amount is deducted pre tax to pay novated lease company will be added back on as the RFBA? Thanks again. I have...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Thanks. Is there a dedicated thread anywhere regarding novated leasing in Australia? I have been debating about getting a Tesla on novated lease. One key thing worrying me is that from what I understand my company will need to report my RFBA to the ATO which will increase my reportable taxable...
