    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I think they are all the same, pushing 21-22kw and $0.50, incl. gst for anything over 7kwh daily. 20 min sounds about right for the free bump. You need a CC to join their platform, and it is up you to manually stop the charge when you have hit your desired target. If you are trying to stay...

    They are DC chargers, so faster than destination but not as fast as superchargers. The 7kw free per day I believe will get you about 12% on a standard RWD, which I think is roughly ~50km in about 20-25 minutes of charging.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    What is important or a key spec to you, may be different to someone else. Irrespective of the comments you made about things changing, the decision should be made by the customer to "jump ahead" and take an older car without those items, or keep their place in line. Simple as that. There is...

    Australia Q3 (Jul - Sep) MY Orders

    Man, the stars are definitely starting to align. Beginning to look a lot like June.. or maybe they are just trying to hit a monthly sales target. Sales dont count until paid and registered :)

    Sorry to hear that, I knew it when you provided your dates. Hopefully those things don't matter to you, because they would rather p*** you off as a customer than just throwing the thing in inventory and letting someone make the choice to jump the queue and buy it immediately.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Its 1000% sly, sorry. Applying an old ordered car with previous config to a new order, especially when there are fundamental changes in between those builds and there is a cost impact involved to get them to the same standard, is definitely dodgy. In Mossdaddys example above, ordering a couple...

    Australia Q3 (Jul - Sep) MY Orders

    Dont think its that simple. They could have dropped it less than $4k to capture the rebate in their poverty pack. And if you wanted induction wheels, for example, you miss out on the $3k... where another price drop means you can have your wheels and the discount. They would have some analyst...

    Australia Q3 (Jul - Sep) MY Orders

    Im getting similar vibes as you are from Tesla. It almost feels like another price drop is coming. They were behaving similarly at the end of June, then boom a $4k price drop at the start of July for anyone who had not paid Food for thought.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    If you have an early May build, you likely dont have these two things. Whilst it may not be important to you, keep in mind the boombox is a current upgrade that costs a few hundred to retrofit to a car built at that time, and the parcel shelf from Tesla cant even be retrofitted from what Im...

    Im sure you know this already, but given your turn around was so quick make sure they didnt assign you an old build without boombox and parcel shelf

    THis is EV #2 for us... and coming from a 4WD diesel. So I share much of the same sentiment as you. But the # of MY's on the road in Sydney these days is a sight to behold. Part of me doesnt like seeing every shopping centre charging station chock full of them, but it does support how good of a...

    I Im assuming Im one of those folks you are referring to. I believe Ive got a pickup offer because of a cancelled order. Normally this is great, but not if the cancelled order was from an early May build, which this was. Cant trust those guys at all. Spoke to them this morning and they told...

    Anyone in NSW who ordered the premium white plate confirm the fee? My order agreement said 129, as does a custom order does now. Invoice says 142? Small difference but curious? Also FWIW, Sydney July 11 order date, pickup offered next week Alexandria. Black ext, white interior, 20"

    Pickup was offered next week but I haven't selected because the novated lease isn't finalised. But yes, I know the build date will be on it when the invoice appears, just a matter of time.

    Holy. Ordered MY RWD Black Paint, White Interior, Induction exactly 1 month ago and have a delivery date message for pickup next week. This is our 2nd MY, with the first one taking 6 months to deliver so wasnt expecting it this quick. Novated lease isnt finalised yet! Would love to know its...

    When should I apply for personalized plate

    Correct - this is exactly what I had to do just a couple of weeks ago. As soon as I left the delivery centre I headed straight to Service NSW and swapped the yellow plate for my custom one that I ordered back in May.

    Bad timing... no one saw it coming thats for sure - except for some tight lipped Head Office staff at Tesla. If it wasnt for the fact the 29 June delivery allowed for the wife to utilise IAWO and not pay GST, effectively dropping her down a full tax bracket and saving her a lot more than 3900...

    Very sad to read the conclusion of your saga, and that it was not a happy ending. Especially with your helpfulness to all the Tesla purchasers on this site (which I'm sure has saved a few calls to Tesla sales reps). I hope you you can get some enjoyment out of the car but understand with your...

    Luckily, I think we are slightly better off being an ABN purchaser before EOY with no GST and full depreciation. Otherwise I'd have trouble sleeping tonight.

    "Close" means delivery not 2 weeks apart from each other when there are days where 150 cars are being delivered at a time. Does that help or would you like to continue splitting hairs?
  23. R

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Im aware of that and still surprised. It would be reasonable to expect our cars to have been produced close together, therefore loaded and offloaded close, FILO or not.

    Thanks jaycob. No mine did not come with a UMC, and I was prepared for that and wasn't even on my mind. But interestingly enough, without me prompting my SA said to quietly check the boot for a UMC because he had seen a few random MY's turn up with them in there. The delivery centre...

    Agree. There were not many people actually doing anything, and not many people actually picking up considering the warehouse was absolutely packed the MY's. And further to the gold coast delvery comments, my pickup in alexandria was essentially all app based as well. The check in guy told me...

    My rep was rushing... so probably 5 minutes checking in, another 10 minutes max with Tesla rep. Another 10 to myself checking things. Out in 25 minutes. Was plugged into a HWPC on arrival and at 100% which was nice

    Picked up the Y at Alexandria this morning.. went smooth. There must be 200 model Y's in there waiting to be picked up. Get ready to see a flood of them on the streets. SA said they are doing 150 deliveries a day. Car carriers were still pulling up dropping off, car carriers going out with I...

    There were so many delivery slots when I went in to book mine... all day from 930am to 6pm on both Thurs and Fri next week. I'm confident many of you still waiting in for an Alexandria will get some good news soon. Best of luck to everyone

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Tesla can definitely control when they decide to start making a car. In my case they didnt begin production of my 10 January 23 order until 3.5 months later, effectively giving them very little buffer in terms of their EDD, and EOFY. Now they place 100% blame on port congestion for the fact...

    Up with the baby and decided to check my EDD, pushed back to 23 June to 14 July. Not even sure why they even bother with the "23 June" 10 Jan order on Grand Eagle. Resigning myself to the fact it isnt happening this side of the FY.

    The Eagle has landed. I repeat, the Eagle has landed. This couldn't have toed the EOFY line any closer if they tried. Good luck to all those with Sydney orders and hope to see some of you in Alexandria soon.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Exactly, it's a crapshoot. Some lucky ones received within the original given EDD because they ordered at the tail-end of Tesla's secret batch production window. Others, as you have pointed out, have not. Whether that's due to being at the top of the demand/production capability bell curve is...
  39. R

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    You are probably in the middle of a 3 month window of batch produced orders. Meaning you can order today, and someone else order in a month's time, and you will both get the car at the same time. This is a guess only, I nor anyone here has any way of truly knowing.

    No way am I forking over 75k without knowing which year I'm getting the car. With interest rates at 5.5% on savings accounts alone, no thanks. Who knows how bad the backlog of Sydney cars they have to deliver is. If that means I fall to the back of some secret Tesla que, so be it - but I'm not...

    Changed at some point today, not sure when. Decided to check when I saw the recent posts... Still had 30 June EDD yesterday. All but certain everyone's will be changing in the very near future.

    Nope, Grand Eagle Alexandria delivery and EDD changed to 17 June - 6 July Matter of time for the other Sydney deliveries change like this too.
  43. R

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Still 11-30 June EDD here, but I am not optimistic based on the trajectory of their flimsy analysis. Will definitely be giving them a courtesy ring when I'm back in the country to see if I can squeeze anything positive out of the situation.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    That smells like a strawman argument to me. I don't dispute Australia's market status, the high demand for these cars, or if customers in Australia ultimately matters to Tesla. So I probably don't have the answer you're looking for.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Substitute "you would think" with "a reasonable expectation".. point remains. I think everyone here knows there is nothing contractually enforceable with the delivery dates, and I haven't seen anyone suggest such a thing.

    We know they batch build, but it doesn't excuse when they choose to batch build, or how infrequent those batch builds are.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    What is the point of going through the trouble of building into your customer interface a dynamic EDD, if it doesn't mean anything? Of course it is not guaranteed, but it is there to give the customer a (very) ballpark estimate so plans and decisions can be made. It is not a date, it is a 4...

    The thing with that message, which I also received, is that they are taking zero responsibility if the car does not arrive on time. Sounds like they know EOFY delivery has a real chance failure, costing people big money. My problem with them not taking responsibility is Tesla did not build many...

    Worst PK port congestion of the year in June right before EOFY, and when most MY orders have finally shown up. Amazing luck.
