Well those of us outside of Auckland wait for the annual visit from Mike the Tesla Ranger. I like to think he has better availability within the Auckland region. I exchanged a couple of emails with him back in April this year. His reply indicated the new Service Centre is taking up a fair bit...

Hmm, Westhaven Marina in Auckland would've seemed a more logical location!

------------------------------------- I've sent you a PM.

As well as the HPWC (single phase as the 3 phase HPWC with 7 metre cable is still in short supply in Aus) we've got a 3 phase (21kW) fast charger bought through JuicePoint at the office. This unit sees the most use. Plus of the course there is the 10A unit for rare occasions.

--------------------------- Heck, that's annoying - I wonder if this change was to deal with someone who tried to avoid paying taxes on a car that was remaining in Australia.

Hi, That wasn't our experience with buying a Tesla and shipping to NZ. There was no Australian GST paid (nor Luxury Car Tax) prior to the car leaving Australia. It wasn't registered in Aus so couldn't legally be driven on Australian roads (it was trucked to the container depot then put in a...

Hi pbkwee, I co-arranged the purchase and import of a Model S for my employer last year (2015). The process after ordering and putting down a deposit was basically as follows: Plan a trip to Sydney to accept delivery of (and paying for) the car; Arange insurance from the point it leaves the...

I think what they are referring to here is the pin (about 5mm in diameter) that should drop down above the socket in your Tesla and locks the plug of the charge cable into your car while it charges. The charge cable plug has a rectangular hole in the top of it (about 6mm x 10mm) that the pin...

So here's what has been published locally online: http://www.stuff.co.nz/motoring/shows/75644541/faraday-reveals-sleek-sporty-concept-car-in-vegas Sure it's a concept car (or, ho ho ho, a "car of concepts") but (to me) it looks so seriously impractical that Faraday Futures may have trouble...

Finally registered and on the road! A self spot, but it's better than not being spotted at all. This would make about 10 identified on this thread for NZ?

Hi, Well I can tell you there is currently no warranty when you import it into NZ (and you have to sign a contract to that effect before they will accept your deposit). IMHO Tesla are a fairly long way off establishing an official presence in New Zealand. Cheers, Alan.

----------------- LOLGAS is Steve West's P85+ (There's a thread on it coming to NZ: http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/35591-First-NZ-Model-S). It's not much of a stretch to say that's probably his Roadster beside it (possibly the only Roadster in NZ, but Steve would be better...

The Tesla staff probably monitor the forum posts! The next step should be an email from Tesla (website at teslamotors.com) advising you "Your Final Invoice has been published to your My Tesla account" - I had an idea that this meant the car was a week away from delivery but as I've just...

There was a post a few weeks ago saying that the My Tesla portal is updated manually, so the status of your car may well be inaccurate (or at least out of date). Ours was in production from the 19th of August and has been in transit since the 26th of August - I'd like to think it took longer...

Hey mhh, Has there been any progress on repairs to your Model S? Cheers, Alan.

Hi Trav, I asked the question on the 13th of May and got this response from Adam the Delivery Experience Specialist: "If you would like a second charger installed in your Model S, that can be done when it initially arrives in Australia before you export it. The cost of getting this...

Hi all, I think that Sir Peter's is a P85+. It appeared on the "Bring Tesla to New Zealand" Facebook Page on 19th March: https://www.facebook.com/TeslaTalkNZ (click on the photo of the car to enlarge it and read the badge). Cheers, Alan.
