Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B
- Start date
Yes, the NZ 17/1/2023 build doesn't fit either, I forgot about that, losing it with all the waiting and wishing.
Congratulations, soon be able to move on and get on with the rest of your life. Cleaning, ceramic coating,.....test rides for friends.....enjoy.
But when will Model Ys ship with HW4? Seems like its still a distance off. Maybe luck to ship this year. I guess this means that the currently shipping Model Ys to Australia will be HW3.
Accessorising....talking about phantom braking, auto wiper + auto high beam, etc
On a more serious note, VIN just came in (or maybe I just didn't check yesterday). I doubt someone's working on a public holiday

HW4 has not even been finalised, of course no model Ys are carrying it. If cybertruck is the first platform with HW4 and it won’t be in volume production until 2024, I don’t see any carry over to 3s or Ys until after that.
Someone is working today. I thought I’d test the waters and see what Tesla offered for a trade in price. That just came through and was extremely poor.
lucky you Joseph. Still no WA VINs AFAIKAccessorising....talking about phantom braking, auto wiper + auto high beam, etc

Out of curiosity, extremely poor as in compared to Private sale? How bad was it?
I compared Tesla to Instant offer from carsales, around 12% difference.
Carsales instant offer being 12% higher?
Carsales (private) is about 15-20% higher than my instant offer - i'm weighing up the time investment and effort.
Any other good places to sell a used car with an offer system?
Yes correct.
One of my friend used carbuyers (https://thecarbuyers.com.au/), they operated out of Bankstown, NSW. I'm unsure where you are, as your profile only says Australia.
According to her, the offer she had was slightly better than carsales - her experience was pretty good, the bloke came out to inspect - money into her account later that day and he came back next day and drove away. YMMV, of course.
This is a major decision for us, between time I spent in and out meetings - I just can't entertain calls, questions from potential buyers (and potential tyrekickers). Also, I remember another friend of us used carsales instant offer only for the dealer to come out and knock a couple of grand off the initial offer too so something to consider there.

I put in a request for valuation with Tesla myself based on a 2020 Subaru Forester Premium with 85k on the clock.
The cheapest you see these on Carsales is about $39k, and they go up from there (including unit with comparable mileage).
I got offered $26k... ridiculous IMO.

So no HW4, a little disappointing if you are like me, you like getting latest toys to play with.
But, lets face it, cars with good motorway auto cruise control like volvos and telsa and mercs have...on long trips, you have 90% work done for you.
I am miles off needing FSD and if i did have it, I wouldn't use it really, since I am sitting there doing nothing...I'd rather be doing something, driving.
FSD could be safer than me, only advantage.
I am waiting on my Model Y, and my concern over the purchase is more to do with 1) charting angst since I am going to need to charge outside of home as no garage and 2) the lifetime of the batteries...and if the car is worth anything in 8 years...
The USS, the sensors that go beep when parking, are 100% essential for me, I use them all the time. I have read all aussie cars have them..and they were only removed for specific regions. Can someone who just took delivery confirm?
Bringing in new HD radar, what point? if you have HW3, I doubt it will be much benefit. May as well buy a car with HW4 when available.
But if you have no USS then HD radar would be a benefit, assuming it helps parking again.

Tesla just notified me of my trade in value. Once I accepted it the hidden VIN was immediately visible.
Tried searching on molace.com and no booking found for the entered VIN so no idea which ship its on if on any already.
VIN decoder indicates its a 2023 built.
First day order, 10:38am, MYP, white, black interior, with trade in.

I tried Carsales instant offer and Tesla was still higher so for me the trade in value was reasonable.

Honestly mate, unless you live in the US and took delivery just before the price drops, why complain? Australia had better prices than the US until they made the strategic decision to undercut competition. This has nothing to do with us. The car is worth what you’ll pay and in the 5+ years you’ll keep it there’s so much room for price cuts and increases that it’s not going to matter in the end.
