Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

[Snoopy1]

looks like no chrissy present!

Yes it is disappointing, works for me as I am overseas Dec10 til Jan 2 have booked a replacement pick up person for that time, but would rather pick the car up myself.
But it is disappointing for everyone hoping to have it for the holidays.
Just hoping I have it by mid Jan for a trip to Brisbane for my brother's 80th! Who would have thought I would be wondering if I would have my car for that trip when I ordered back March 12

Mine's definitely on one of those ships and the EDD just slipped back to Dec 3 - 16. Still way too optimistic I reckon, surely won't arrive til after Christmas now

Same here, if ship arrive 10th , surely we could get 14 days after ship arrive ? Melbourne here

Accountant tip, there is a luxury car limit for claims on cars.

ATO website currently unavailable

www.ato.gov.au

So you'll only be able to claim upto that amount. Less your private use percentage.

GST is that same limit as well.

I checked the tesla price breakdown on the website - appears there's $2552 LCT on the performance, and $0 on the LR. Hmm.... $14,000 difference between the LR and the P is either a lot of money, or not a lot of money depending on who you talk to!

I should probably wait until my RWD is delivered first, only a week or two away. I also just impulse bought a WRX STi which I'm picking up in 3 days (growing old but never growing up) so maybe this decision has to be postponed a couple of weeks. LR and P both have an estimate of Feb-May 2023 should it should arrive well before EOFY.

The ship is arriving on10/12, but you still get the EDD 13/12? Really, nothing changes?

EDD changed last night to 16/12. Beyond a joke now seriously.

Hey Magnus

Are the thresholds the Driveaway price or the price pre stamp duty / rego?

 

[ialam]

Yep same here...EDD updated this morning to 3 Dec to 16 Dec.

In other news, apprantly 100% of Tesla's deliveries always falls withing their EDD estimates.

 

[Kenthecar]

Man, that's BS.
What a slap in the face.
Been waiting for a vanilla RWD since 14/4 in SA

I doubt they got your price.

Have other Feb Adelaide orders got delivery days or still just a window that adjusts once you enter it?

26/2 vanilla RWD Vin and invoice , slowly progressing

yeah perhaps, still a hard time of year to co-ordinate though and I feel the pickup prompt won't offer any time this side of Christmas

I have been waitig for a vanilla RWD since 22/2 in Melb.. thats a slap with a stick

Oohh good question.

I'm not 100% on this so double check with your accountant. But pretty close to sure that for depreciation purposes it's total invoice amount.

So for 2023 the car limit is 64,741 which will be the maximum depreciation deduction available less private use.

GST limit is also this number but they are applied separately.


Oohh this has me thinking that EAP or FSD could be purchased in separate financial years and depreciated separately but that idea is above my pay grade and I wouldn't be sure.

The CBA offer is for a personal loan, you can’t make it a joint loan, as far as I can see …. Any other small joint loans out there ? My 5.56% expires Dec 14 with Macquarie and I still don’t even have a VIN

People's choice currently do 4.49% fixed ($250 application fee, no monthly fees) and you can apply jointly. I just got off the phone with them as I was considering putting in an application and they're inundated apparently. Won't be an issue for you if you don't have a VIN assigned but my car is approaching very soon and my current rate is really poor with Plenti (6.74% and $299 fee)

Im still on the window.
I was sent the registration authority this morning to let them deal with all the rego. My EDD is still 03-16/12. Build 13/11

I haven't seen any SA orders with delivery times yet

Yeah still a window EDD, 3-16 Dec. I doubt we'll get delivery sms until the ship unloads and they're on their way to ADL.

 

[Stokesy]

If the cars are unloaded at Port Kembla and then trucked down they will be here much faster (by over a week) than if they're dropped off at Melbourne and then trucked down.

Someone commented yesterday that Crystal isn't going to Melbourne, and it's contents will be offloaded and loaded onto Cherry. I'm hoping Tesla's stay offloaded and trucked down.

 

[Scoobs]

I received my mobile connector today. It came with a CCS Combo 2 adapter, didn’t think that was supposed to be included? Not sure what I’m supposed to do with it.

Has anyone had any luck getting SG Fleet to quote as a novated lease under the new EV FBT legislation? I queried but they said their systems hadnt been updated to reflect this, and wouldnt commit to when they would. I know from this forum other NL firms have provided quotes. As my invoice arrived, its getting quite close to when ill have to commit to finance or NL, but they dont seem to be in any rush...

As recently as 1/12, they were still not willing to quote me on the new basis, or even give a timeline for doing this. Smartleasing were able to quote based on the new rules so I switched to them. The only snag now is that Smartleasing want the Compliance Date which won't be available until the Tesla has landed in the country.
