Wife said "how many pollies have M3 on order??"
Upon the import declaration being submitted to the Australian Integrated Cargo System (i.e. ABF/Customs). The transaction value is calculated on the rate of exchange on the day of export. How that plays into the Tesla ordering process likely varies and i am unsure. For me, i have already had an invoice issued against a purchase order which states the transaction value but the car has not been imported or submitted to the ICS (as far as i am aware). This submission would probably happen on the ship once they 100% know what they're actually exporting? Thinking about it, this is probably when a VIN is assigned because they would have to enter a transaction value (therefore tangible good) against your specific transaction.
For us Queenslanders with M3's on order we miss out on Anastacia's offerings, this might just make up for.
As much as my heart wants Tesla's, I think forklifts for the Clara. Don't think we'll see any till the Q3 production run...
Don't think so. You'll just have to wait till the 6month point then wait from there.
Morning Clara about to load at Shaghai, Turandot and Don Juan about to unload in AU. At about 5000 vehicles per ship that a heck of a lot of forklifts.
I asked the same question a while ago. No EDD in account or on app on two different devices. Even uninstalled the app and reinstalled in case there was a glitch. I wondered if it was because I ordered in Canberra, for QLD delivery.
Bear in mind this really only has benefit if you go down the path of a novated lease (to save on FBT and pay for the car with pre-tax salary).
I hadn't considered that. We also have FTA's with Japan, South Korea, Thailand and USA among others. What a great policy, offer to reduce the tariff when they know almost all the EV's under the luxury car tax limit will come from these countries. The FBT is a big saving but doesn't help me as a self funded retiree. Maybe I'll run the numbers on having one of my sons take a novated lease on it. The down side of a novated lease with an EV is that you don't have much benefit from the savings on fuel. I guess I will probably just have to be happy with the $3000 saving on stamp duty in NSW.
The ALP's own page actually cites the Nissan Leaf as their example. AFAIK they are made in Japan so the 5% does not apply to them either!
Interesting. I look forward to more info then. Sorry if I've made wrong assumptions.
Importers and nerds waiting for Teslas and having conversations on forums apparently. Haha!
