Australian Model 3 Waiting Room

18kts is cranking along, probably using regenerative breaking all the way going down hill also… hopefully it’s going too fast and goes straight past Brisbane. Or it doesn’t get held up there like BA and GC.
Those coronas were rad.

Truck from Brisbane via Townsville. Only took 342 days from order to delivery. Yes we had stinkbug holdup but only for 2 weeks.
unfortunately not (at least through Smart Salary) would be great if they could provide the various RFID cards for chargers and have any of that charging go directly into the pre-tax amount automatically.
I guess all of these organisations will eventually make it out of the dark ages
The "fuel" cards are used for car washing too (if your lease company provides them), so they might still be useful/required.

I have a mate who leases his EV6 through smart salary.. he was able to organise for a small amount added fortnightly and claims this on public charging when he uses it. You just have to log in and do the leg work though every time you want to pay for it pre-tax.
Yeah and some OTR BP servos here have those fancy car washes where they detail inside the car too. None near me tho and I wouldn’t trust them to leave my car there, would be like Ferris buellers day off

I questioned the monthly maintenance fee ($19/month) and the chap I spoke to (at smart salary) ended up waiving it for me. You should ask your rep because really, what warrants a $19/monthly charge for 'maintenance' on a Tesla?
You get it back though. Any unused ends back in your pocket.
I’ll ask him when I get in contact with him soon to let him know I have a vin. Which I dont

the $19/month fee is an admin fee SmartSalary charged.. this is to provide 'maintenance admin'* as per their T's & C's... it goes into their pockets.

If this isn't the case, Viking Passama is docking today in Shanghai to load up for Australia (via Korea).. another possible Tesla ship which could (maybe) mean VINs by the end of the week.

What he said, my last NL was in budget surplus and I got it all back after closing off the lease.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a financial advisor and this is not financial advise.
This time around I will still be paying a monthly operating costs in order to build up a kitty and use it on the car later on.
for example:
- Acceleration boost (counts towards the car, hoping I can use it for this if I can provide a receipt)
- PPF (maybe after a couple of years into the NL)
All of this money is already going to be deducted from my salary pre-tax.
I'm in NSW too. Had a look, and it's +$2.4k from Local Stamp Duty. Tesla are not zeroing that out anymore, even though they also say there's an exemption until Jan 1. Odd.
