After Umms and Aahs - because we really want an LR - I have put in an order for white/black YP stock standard (no options not that there are many). Screen told me Feb-May 2023 delivery just before pushing the button even though on entry before ordering it said Nov 22 to Feb 23. Anyway if the LR gets released I will dump the order and get an LR. Should have done this last week as I was online looking in 30mins after orders opened. But I wasn't worried that we might miss the LR then, now I am "very concerned" after reading other posts. Even though of all the world, Aus is the best fit for the LR specs!!! Long distances, sparse population but strict (low) speed limits and no Autobahns! Exactly what the LR is best all-rounder for.

Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B
- Start date
China, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, NZ, UK (believe Berlin is LHD only)
It (Performance) has ticked over to Feb-May 2023 now. sadly it seems I missed it by a couple of cars, it changed while I was ordering one.
From what I believe other RHD markets are Hong Kong, UK, Ireland, NZ and Japan. Shanghai services all these markets for M3 at the moment until Berlin comes on line with MY RHD for UK and Ireland. I'm thinking that with Berlin starting up it's cleared some availability for MY for the rest of the RHD world.

Black Model Y with Black Plasti Dip Gemini Wheels
Here's my Black Model Y with black Plasti Dip gemini wheels, Requirements: 2 cans of black Plasti Dip aerosol cans, 1 can Glossifier, Can-gun optional but will spray more evenly.

Thanks for that, I was tossing up doing the Plasti Dip but worried about the longevity. I've seen a youtube vid where a guy plasti dipped the alloy wheels only to have it removed and powder coated later. For me, I think the extra cost would be worth the end result. Not too interested in using the aero hub caps, I mainly do city driving and the small range benefit doesn't bother me.check out all the examples in this thread before spending too much money...

No Brisbane recommendations but I saw someone's 3 in Perth where they had done it and it was a vast improvement over the Gemini cover. The rims underneath are much better looking.
I'm sure if you trawl the forums for the 3 model there might be someone who has done it in Brissie
Any recommendations for floor mats?Having bought too many accessories for my 3, here's what I'm buying for my Y:
And then when I list it out like that I realise that again I'm buying a lot of stuff!
- All weather floor and boot mats
- Windscreen sun shade
- Centre console organiser
- Silicon insert for cup holders
- Jack pads and case
- Upgraded interior light kit for boot
I'm thinking of getting the quilted leatherette stuff on AliExpress coz I'm not a fan of rubber mats.

I like the Tessories ones in my 3. Pull them out, hit them the high pressure hose, let them dry in the sun. I can understand that they might not be for you but I'm the only one in my family that tries to keep the car clean.
Elon has said that they will ramp up RHD production as the Australian interest was not anticipated!

Honestly I wouldn't waste your time - even the "buy your car today" mobs and Carsales Instant Offer will be more than what Tesla will give you if you don't want to sell privately.
I would apply for your finance now as most car finance companies will hold your interest rate for 3-6 months… I did it with macquarie a few months ago and my rate has been held at 2.99%.
