I would love to know how may cars have actually been delivered. From the spreadsheet about 60% of the order holders are still waiting for Tesla.

Mitsubishi I-Miev was/is $53k new and two year old is $17k which represents a 63% depreciation. Unfortunately not a lot of Australians are smart enough to appreciate EVs regardless of how they look. The I-Miev is not a bad car. Tesla is a much better value proposition than a new I-miev leaf...

Just a couple of more points and i'll leave you all to enjoy the future. The Tesla is cool, because its electric and not because it is a Tesla. In my opinion. Therefore the I-Miev the i3 and Leaf are also cool. The Halo of Tesla Model S is great for the industry. The Model S is the poster boy...

This is a interesting post. Studies across Europe and the states has found that when one brings a EV home, within short order the ICE is relegated to the dump bin. Luckily and not through the good grace of Australian consumers we now have some excellent EV options at silly prices. The First EV...

Not sure about staying, it's not club, it's a expensive car purchase, a very expensive one. I think it would have been great had they tried as hard to keep us as a customer. I guess now that I've vented, I see they tried as hard as they could, but definitely not up to the promise of a different...

Hi Tim. Could you please remove our car from the spreadsheet. We cancelled our car after we got sick of Teslas "soup nazi" approach to their customers. Their attitude of you will wait until we are good and ready really pissed my partner off. I even spoke directly to what one could loosely call a...

Thanks great thanks. But they actually haven't said anything. Everything else is pure speculation. Where I work if we change terms and conditions, features on delivered products we tell all our order holders before we tell the general public. We call that old fashioned customer service. They...

Has anyone received any communication from Tesla regarding either the dual motor or the driver assist features? I would have expected to have received something given that they have known about these features for some time, a mass email is so easy in 2014 and to put it bluntly most people here...

Not sure how many owners are from the eastern suburbs, but McLachlan Avenue, Rushcutters Bay would be ideal. Lexus has just moved out of their near new premises, which consists of a showroom, service facilities and off street parking ideal for a supercharger. It is also directly opposite BWM...

We have just received ours as well. I think it means nothing more than they have employed someone to co-ordinate and make the deliveries of wall chargers happen. It's great all the same'

The solution for a Sydney super charger location would be to contact The Lord Mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore. SSC has a 0 emissions policy and there is lots of council land that would be suitable, around green square for example would be ideal.

Ours has changed as well. I suspect it means all the parts are sourced so now wait, we haven't forgotten you. Really if they were a customer service focused company it would say "Scheduled for production September 9" for example. So my question is just when is it scheduled for 2015?

I have to say, I think Tesla's customer service is lacking. Their communication so far reminds me of a company that no longer exists. I can see no reason why they cannot communicate directly to their customers, outlining what is happening. Communication could be as simple as saying deliveries...

Great thanks, I didn't think to look there. It's a pity that the announcement called out the 85kwh model specifically.

Its a pity the new drivetrain warranty only applies to Model S 85KWH not the clearly 60 KWH model, well that how it reads... "Today, Tesla announced that the Model S drive unit warranty has been increased to match that of the battery pack. That means the 85 kWh Model S now has an 8 year...

That's great Danielp, thanks. I think I'll talk to the electrician about upgrading the circuit, it makes sense and I'll be able to take advantage of whatever the car can accept.

Reading through this thread many future owners are installing 20 amp, 30 amp + circuits for home charging. The US Tesla website talks about 8 hours charging at 240 volts on 10 amps. Given I do not have dual chargers, it appears to me that I can install the charger on the standard 10 amp circuit...

As of Friday they were still advertising for a delivery a manager and two delivery technicians. I suspect these positions need to be filled before they start deliveries

Last line in this article Tesla And Panasonic Agree On Expanded Battery Cell Supply | The Motor Report "Note: Tesla's Model S sedan has been confirmed for an Australian launch and customer models are arriving over the coming weeks" I wonder what what the forum thinks is an adequate time...

Did your heart skip a beat when you refreshed for perhaps the 10th time in the day (like me) and this popped up?

Could you include one at the Tesla office in Botany? I think it is reasonable that a country visitor would need to charge in city when visiting.

I was actually a cash deposit reservation holder for a BMW i3. Very early on the list (sub top10). The promise from BMW was that as a reservation holder I was a VIP. I would be invited to the launch, priority ordering, and priority build slots. Opportunity for first delivery etc. BMW said don’t...

Apologies my point was rather poorly presented. If there are high powered chargers or super chargers in the main town centers, cities, and shopping malls where people frequent the last hurdle of electric cars is solved. In this way I don't need a home charger, actually I don't need to do...

It appears to me that the obvious choice would be the big mall operators. Centro, Stockland and naturally Westfield. It's a win win situation. The malls get high valued pre qualified shoppers, Tesla owners get to top up whilst they are having a haircut in the mall. There are some great locations...

Thwre are many things that I found surprising. Firstly it does not look like it has been designed by a committee no one said NO. Like a show car. I also liked the customisation available, they haven't segmented the market like traditional car companies, if you want sporty, you have it, you want...

After a quick drive today, it is clear that this is one of the most important cars produced. It is great to drive, looks great. Quite possible the best car ever? It would appear so. I think everyone who has ordered one should to their best to get as many sales as possible. While this is counter...

A mate of mine has spoken to a couple of Tesla reps over the last few weeks. The first conservation about delivery dates was around the 23rd of June. Expected delivery dates in Australia cars ordered up to that week would be delivered in September. During a test drive this week the same question...

Received a verbal quote from the NRMA $1110 which seems reasonable. They were happy to confirm the insurance then and there!
