Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[KBAZZA]

Order date 20/12 Canberra

December! Let’s hope yours is on the boat @Kat D

Two different values. The Luxury Car Tax for fuel efficient vehicles ($84,916) is the upper limit for FBT exemption under the Government's proposed EV policy.

The Car Limit ($64,741) is the upper limit that employers can claim tax benefits as part of a lease agreement. Some employers with their lease agreements permit this as long as the employee covers the additional tax the employer has to pay. I have a lease quote for a M3LR, there's a ~$100/month additional levy in the quote to cover this.

Thanks for clarifying. I wish I knew that a month ago before putting in my order. I would have asked my employer if I could pay the additional piece to cover the tax component.

My optimistic thoughts are aligned to others in here. The Perth orders were assigned early to allow the connecting water based shipping to be arranged. As per previous shipments, the East Coast orders will be assigned between now and port in Brisbane. Look back to the last boat with assignments and they occurred when the ship was moored off the Sunshine Coast. I for one look forward to driving around in our new car come end of August

Ive been pretty optimistic all the way through this process but if that was the case then Perth RWD's, of which I am one myself, would have been allocated their VIN's too but we have had nothing.

Im pretty pissed that me and my mate test drove together and ordered our cars on the same day and on the advice of the sales advisor who said there was "no chance" I would see a LR before a RWD I ordered the RWD yet here we are, he has his VIN and I have nothing.

Don't be, one thing I learnt from sitting here and waiting is that Telsa is never about fairness. It is whatever they feel is convenient to them. Sometimes it appears pretty fair because the policy aligns with their interests.

I hope you're right. I'd better get cracking and get this charger installed that has been sitting in a box in the garage since February.

Someone on Reddit posted a photo of thier Tesla Wall Connector wearing a "one" birthday hat with some black roses celebrating 1 year of installation with no Tesla to charge yet.

It's a nice theory hahah and love the optimism - but if that were the case I'd have my VIN by now as I'm a Perth order

Exactly the same as me re: RWD vs LR choice

Im hazarding a guess it was the the same sales advisor too...

That's a big yikes.

Some interesting stats on those in the VIN allocated table: (Also in a boring meeting)

	Internal Colour
External Colour	Black	White	Grand Total
Black	2.33%​	4.65%​	6.98%​
Blue	9.30%​	2.33%​	11.63%​
Midnight Silver	18.60%​	2.33%​	20.93%​
Red	6.98%​	2.33%​	9.30%​
White	34.88%​	16.28%​	51.16%​
Grand Total	72.09%​	27.91%​	100.00%​

If there aren't any additional VIN assignments on the Morning Clara let's not forget the Viking Passama is en route to Shanghai and due to depart early next week. Hopefully if they haven't already they're whipping some RHD model 3's out over the next few days.

Well, lets hope they finish December LR orders soon and can get onto the rest of us

Certainly agree with this hope!

They are some interesting numbers. Black surprised me the most and white didn't at all

Fingers crossed, suppose if we follow the Morning Clara shipment then VIN's for Perth orders would be allocated for the Viking Passama this coming Sunday

Good thought, bearing in mind there's a 3 week shutdown on the M3 line from next Monday... let's hope they give the RHDs a go!
I'm in Melbourne too and 1 week after you!

I'm choosing to be cautiously optimistic, but "que sera, sera".

"My expensive new car is taking too long to arrive!" is a thoroughly First World problem, after all.

Finger crossed @ 12:30 pm today!

Love these vibes.

Your car isn't going to be here for a while - you can always change the spec (you'll have to contact Tesla to amend your order) and how you plan to pay etc. before delivery.
