    To clarify, that was excluding on roads. Huge range in on roads between states, ACT is great, NSW... not so much. All the performances have dropped in price recently, can get the 3P for under current lct also.

    $89k, white ex, black int. 2000km. Hearts been saying P, but head has won with LR and the instant tax relief. So anyone after a P under next financial years LCT, keep an eye out in ACT inventory 😀

    Keep an eye on inventory stock also. I thought I'd missed the window for June 30 pick up in Qld for YLR so accepted id missed the boat for big tax writeoff. Saw a demo Y performance pop up Sat night in ACT under LCT as of July 1 so ordered it. Turned out I could pick up the performance...

    [Australia] Model Y - April/May Orders (May-Jun Delivery) Waiting Room

    I got quotes in advance, shannons said to just call them on the day of pickup to lock it in. I've done same with previous purchases. But I'm not financing so can't comment on that..

    I had 2 on order, Y in Qld and 3 in ACT as a backup in case the Y didn't arrive in time for eofy. On Monday I got the pickup date option on Thurs or Fri this week. Unfortunately one of my employees fractured her ankle on Sunday and can't work, so I'm helping fill the gap and can't fly to ACT...

    Called short sighted marketing... tell people what they want to hear to secure the sale. Gets you the sale, but may limit future sale prospects by upsetting buyer. Tesla hope that the enjoyment of the car will make you forget the lies. Buggers are probably right, 🤣

    Benefit of invoice on July 1 is less LCT if you current invoice include LCT. LCT is Luxury Car Tax. This financial year you pay lct if purchase is over $84ish K. Next financial year it's for purchase over $88ish K. If business fleet purchase, if you buy under the lct threshold, you don't pay...

    Think Morning Cherry as it's in Port atm. Mine updated to same dates this morning and text received. I asked if likely to get before eofy, they said more likely to be first week of July. So now I'm watching inventory to see if anyone has cancelled a non vanilla YLR so I can take advantage of...

    Unfortunately slow deliveries aren't just a Tesla thing. Friend just got his RAV4 hybrid, been on order for 18 months. Another ordered a corolla hybrid 4 months ago, told it would be here well before eofy, last week when chasing them up, they couldn't give an eta... he's now ordered a Tesla...

    A paint shop told me ceramic was a waste of time. Anyone had experience? I only had it on one car previously and it was great at first, bat *sugar* just pealed off. But guessing you need to reapply yearly as later it wasn't as effective...

    I'm not an accountant... but was told that if you would have to pay tax on the difference between residual value and sale price (deemed income). So I asked, could sell it to myself at residual value, then sell privately at market value. But sounds like this isn't ok either as you have to...

    Yes, good point on being taxed if selling above depreciated value. That's why it's important to choose the right method of depreciation that suits your situation

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Sorry my math was out after Friday drinks... :) based of $86k purchase, 4 to 5 years using diminishing value method should get you down to same as current instant write off, if using prime cost it takes longer. Again, talk to accountant as to which suits best for you situation. I don't know how...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I called and spoke to them. I'd seen some cars come available interstate and thought I could snap up one of them... he told me etas as exact dates, not a range. The date was when they expect to see in depo, not a pickup date. But I'm sure these dates can still blow out as they doubted the...

    It used to be that big companies would pre book slots on ships well in advance of needing them. I would thing there would still be similar to ensure they have space when needed. But can't say who would be responsible to waisted time at our ports. Ive also heard that due to bugs/seeds in...

    If claiming depreciation over multiple years, it should be done and dusted to max vehicle write-off over 3 or 4 years... but you are right, they can come knocking anytime, and if they think something is sus, they look much harder at everything else. A mate just ordered a tesla today from...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    From what I've read, and discussed with accountant last month, it needed to be in our hands by June 30. But there is a lot of pressure to relax this stance from manufactures. So keep an eye on ato website and check with accountant before making final decision. If opting for the grey area...

    You are 100% right. It must be first used by the business by 30th June.

    Only a guess, but morning cherry was in melb port at the time RAV entered. It's now left melb and on its way to briz. So maybe your car is at melb port and transporting out from there...?

    Qld edd hasn't changed yet, but suspect it will shortly, RAV date same as yours, 5/6, expect Morning Cherry as the carrier... I only ordered in April, so can't complain about delays.... yet... :) But I feel for the guys here that have been delayed months from their original edd.

    With the understanding that this is no guarantee of being correct or any contract stating such.... but may give a possible likelihood for others... but today I was told my ACT delivery, 3LR, RAV entered 18/5, expected to be on Grand Eagle?, is hopeful of being available for pickup in June...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    No expectations is probably the smartest way to be when ordering a tesla, and lots of other items atm. With such a small market in Australia, you'd think that they would be able to manage demand better. They could do better with their estimate. Why even say edd June/July when can't deliver...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Personally, i would expect that when given a range, be it dates or prices, then the expectation is that the result would be within that range. A range is normally best case to worse case. A variation from the range should be minimal if any at all, unless you really have no idea about your...

    Congrat to all receiving in Briz, you've had a long wait! I didn't order in briz till mid April, edd 19th to 30th June. Have vin but not listed in RAV yet. So unless there's a ship coming straight into Bris shortly, I can't see me getting by June 30... :(

    Ive tried to use molace, but can't seem to find either of the VINs I have. One of them is in RAV since 18/5 so I expect it should show up in molace... but no joy.

    Nice, I see it's due into port early June, may yet get it before eofy..

Does anyone know if all carriers coming to Brisbane go...

    That's correct. I had a Tesla rep tell me to pay early for the tax incentive and it wouldn't matter if picked up the car after June 30. I told him that is not correct and he shouldn't be telling people that... However the LCT threshold goes up on July 1, so able to get a coloured Y LR and not...
