Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[schnaxxl]

For those of you in NSW who have invoices from Tesla in 2022, can you please confirm whether there is Stamp Duty being charged on the invoice?

I don't have my final invoice yet, but a document called a 'pro forma invoice' issued at the time of ordering includes stamp duty of $2770
further to other comments above, I think that is usually levied on the purchaser rather than the vendor
I'll be following up the charge and seeing what I have to do about getting rid of it
no biggie if I have to ask for it back, but that should be unnecessary

 

[Trello]

Sorry but this is not true I'm confident we have options to claim back the stamp duty(for NSW, not sure about other states though). I had confirmed this with my SA and also have an account setup for this which shows both the options for applying i.e. Stamp duty off and rebate. Cheers!

Hi , I’m New here.
I’ve picked up my car on 2/12 at at Chatswood. and via this portal had to make 2 lodgments to claim funds back. 1 for the Rebate , 2nd for the Stamo duty. You need to create an account. You get your funds back in 14 days roughly.
If you have the LR , you will only get to claim the Stamp Duty , as you pass the threshold for a Rebate.

do you know if RWD are built first and then LR models. I can't see many LR people here got their VINs. Although RWD ordered in Dec got VINs

A mix of cars have been built so far. There are still multiple production builds to go yet this quarter to be assigned.

 

[Vedaprime]

I think the only ones with VIN's are from November 2021, I have a VIN but was lucky enough to get a cancellation. I think they allocated mine from one of the people who ordered in Oct-Nov, so wouldn't count that as an LR VIN from December order.

It’s a mixed bag of order dates with vins, as expected, from lots of different dates including late December.

It all depends on what has been built or planned to be built in the quarter, confirming order dates mean very little for vin assignment.

Hi Dan

I initially ordered my LR mid-November but changed the color in the first week of December. This apparently changes the order date. I do have the VIN and invoice. It is like Vedaprime says, some things obviously don't make sense but the next ship from China will only be a week or two behind the first.

Also, you may still get your VIN any day. Has Tesla given you an estimated delivery window? This should also give you some indication of whether you're on the first or second ship.

I think, and this is my opinion only, that if you have an estimated two-week delivery window from early February you are most likely on the first ship but if your window goes into March probably more likely on the ship following.

Hi,

No, there is no delivery timeframe in my Tesla account. We'll wait. I've seen that some LR got VIN at the beginning of the previous week and nothing since then...

I wonder how will Chinese New Year celebrations starting on 1 Feb (with country wide 1 week long holidays) affect the production and shipping cycle for Q1?

potentially a lot
I think last year the CNY was disrupted due to travel restrictions?

Hopefully the second ship will have left by the 1st Feb

 

[Kevsaccount]

I think output generally ramps up in the leadup to CNY though. They are certainly pushing a lot of cars out of that site at present.

ordered my M3 two days ago! joining the long wait

You and @Lammi might end up getting lucky with cancelled orders/existing inventory along the way, given that you’ve both ordered in the first month of the quarter.

Let's hope so! That would absolutely make my day/month
Hopefully blue exterior+white interior (standard model) is a popular combination

 

[jazeng]

Also ordered in the last week- so staying tuned, noting of course lots of people ahead of me

Has there actually been cases where people moved up significantly in the queue because of cancelled orders?

oh wow! nice one - how did you find out it was a cancellation?

Rep told me someone had cancelled my exact order and that if I wanted I could take delivery early

 

[wasifm]

While we wait, it's good to know we'll have the safest car on the road ( and hopefully we don't have to validate this)

It's in Spanish (I think) with English subtitles
