Very abrupt and feels like a betrayal of expectations. When a customer buys a Tesla, they bought with confidence of an expanding SC network. Thought experiment: what if one day out the blue Tesla announces cessation of support for exisitng customer cars as they transition to 100% robo taxies...

Interesting watch. Skimmed through it a bit. We installed a smoke alarm in our garage after getting our Tesla and have thought about our escape path out of the house incase it goes off. None of us will be sticking around to try fight it as the gases are toxic.

Recently picked up a Model Y and less than impressed with the TACC and EAP after system calibration. Repeatable example is when on a wide lane or road where a bicycle rider is in their own bike lane with 2m to 3m space to spare, the car will brake hard to match the push bike speed. There is...

Who's doing your tinting in Adelaide?

Guess a lot less of those models are being made. The new VINs that were issued to replace GC cars were probably originally intended for the next batch of orders. There's a couple of people here that seeming ordered with no VIN as of yet. Those right hand drive cars don't have many places to go...

From the looks of it. They don't add the wheel covers till delivery?

I don't think they do the finance. Usually a novated leasing (NL) company just manages your account, e.g. costs, pay deductions, claims etc. And they charge an admin fee. It's not usually disclosed who the financer is unless you read the fine print (they don't want customers to shop round as...

May I ask who is your finance company? My novated lease people went put me through Metro Finance Pty Ltd in NSW.

Question for the novated lease people who've already paid for the original vehicles on the original assigned VINs. I got in touch with my novated lease agent and forwarded the new VIN so they can do an asset swap on the securities register. The form I got back included an acknowledgement for a...

I used this site. It's free. https://shipinfo.net/find_vessel_Morning%20Crystal_IMO-9574080_MMSI-371706000

Got a new VIN and 2 emails from Tesla today, SA order and paid on novated lease. You'll be soon Winnieblue.

Me neither. It might be the spec, they haven't got any left to reassign? I ordered poverty spec with grey with nothing extra.

Sent Tesla a text asking what will happen as glovis is shanghai bound. Their response: "... we are coordinating with our logistics team and we will get in contact once we have had confirmation on how to proceed..."

I'm of the same opinion. But not sure how it will work out. My NL provider says they can do an asset swap no problem, i.e. change of VIN. But I'm not sure if they will allow cancelling and refunding of the finance and re-establishing it again. This is because the rates are now different. Would...

New car warranty starts from actual transfer right?

Feb to March for SA. What are the odds it's going back to China and then coming again? Can do it in that time frame. That's like a 7 month wait in total for some.

Selfish of me, but I'm hoping they send the whole lot back to China. Just want to see if the tesla attitude will change, rather than "Whoopsie".

Sent tesla a text with questions such as, possibility of - GC heading back to china failing bio security again, being reassigned a diff car, cancelling order. Their response - Blah blah blah union strikes blah blah, biosecurity blah blah, we can't reassign you, blah blah, we are working so...

Looks like the "Recall" is just an update. The names "Auto Pilot" and "Full self driving" is misleading by nature. Most people are smart enough to heed / know it's not true auto pilot or self driving, but its a case of a low probability event that has severe consequences. Would you be happy if...

Insurance premium for the Model Y is nearly twice that of my 2018 Civic Type R. As more tech is crammed into new cars, e.g. cameras on mirrors, fancy matrix LED headlights, etc. These commonly broken parts in minor accidents will be more costly to replace. Just those 19 to 21" wheels alone will...

Calculated to approximately $62k for the vehicle on NL just paying the finance portion of the repayments and including GST on the final residual value. If you have a $3k gov grant, then its $59k. In SA so thats why I signed up.

Long time lurker here. Yes waiting for GC... since... August.
