I just noticed that the Tesla store page is now showing the rebate for SA on the cost.

Does anyone know the process to claim this one for SA, or even others in other states?

Does the price come off what I pay to Tesla, or do I get a payment back from the government?

Interestingly does not show WA $3500 rebate on our costing page!

Also the rules are these. Not sure the new price increase qualifies.

"A $3,000 subsidy is available for 7,000 new battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles valued below $68,750 (including GST) registered in South Australia from 28 October 2021."

We’ve come full circle, the SA’s are probably telling us what they read in the news, which is coming from the forums


Geez the interest rates keep climbing, 5% looks like the cheapest now. I did my original calculation on 3%.

When’s the next cash rate hike expected, be nice to lock a rate in

Early July for the next hike. And every month after that until at least 2023 when a peak or plateau is expected. If we're lucky.

I am wrong. The subsidy applies as it is within the number and before the stamp duty.

@thegreenguy

Thanks for finding this info!
I got my order in before the price chance. I was able to upgrade car colour but that was all I could do without going over.

Gonna be grim, for sure. On the plus side, won’t be shelling out for petrol

It'll come on Tuesday when the Reserve Bank meets, and will get announced Wednesday. My guess is 0.5%, if not 0.75%.

No need to believe what I think, but have a look at what CBA did to its fixed interest rate home loans today and that'll give you a strong clue that it's next week.

I think you may be right.

So glad i fixed a while back! Yikes!

I splurged a bit on a luxury car but that's a level of oppulence that is way out of my comfort zone.

OD 18/1
RWD blue/black

No official VIN yet, VIN does appear in source code.
Feeling like the wait is almost over.

Wait. The 18th is further down the queue, no?

Well, we did get one today - extends the date range by 1 day.

Why. Yes. Yes it is! Only 17th from the 28th on the spready.

I hear you - it's not the norm for me, either

But, with the value of secondhand teslas being so high, I almost think you could rationalise it as an appreciating asset

I was lucky enough to leave this waiting room a few months ago... and I made a video! If you're still waiting for yours, or on the fence about ordering, here's what you can expect (you'll love it):

I first noticed changes in the app on Tuesday. “Tesla is making changes that impact your order….”
But only confirmed source code VIN today.
