Is it likely these cars will have the new firmware recently released?

Not likely. They get shipped with a generic firmware and you should get the updates in due course.

Ahh awesome got mine in at 10:10. Didn’t realise I was onto it so quickly

 

[BTRProducer]

So 22 hours till delivery time. And Tesla hit me with one final curve ball today. Contacted me at lunch time to say there was an error with the rego document I submitted 2 weeks ago, and so had to do it again. No idea why they waited until the day before delivery to get in touch, but oh well...

Anyway, all sorted now. My car is now showing up in the QLD Rego Check app, and the first fortnightly payment went out of my salary tonight.

All feeling super real right now...!

How does car insurance payment work with NL. I assume it has to be paid up front, does it get paid monthly or do they pay it up front for 12 months?

I just paid for my first month today. As I understand it, you pay for it yourself until such time as you build up sufficient funds in your NL lease account. At which point you can start submitting reimbursement claims.

You pay upfront to the insurance. As your employer deducts your lease payments and pay the lease company, the funds will accumulate in different budget accounts(such as finance, rego, tyres, insurance etc.). Once enough funds accumulate in your insurance budget account, they will reimburse you for the said insurance premium.

I’m paying monthly and I had to wait a month for funds to accumulate. So I paid my insurance on 1 Feb and I got reimbursed on 1 March.

Had I paid upfront for the whole year, the NL company offered quarterly, half yearly or yearly reimbursement. I just went monthly.

Sounds like it depends on your NL.

I didn’t pay anything up front, you just agree to the insurance and the NL works out how to pay it. How they do it is up to them.

Set and forget

I’ve never heard of paying it upfront, and I’ve leased heaps of cars

It ends up being pre-tax because you eventually get reimbursed out of the account that comes out pre-tax.

I didn’t want to go with the insurance options the NL company offered so I decided arrange my own. I pay monthly and they reimburse me monthly but it lags behind. Same goes for rego.

I actually prefer this because I get points when I pay with my card

Always a option, but doing it that way does make the insurance 25~% more given it's from post tax money.
