Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[Ben MYBlack]

FYI I received a SMS/Email today from Tesla saying:
"As you ordered after 7 July 2022, home charging equipment is not included with your vehicle.
To purchase separately, visit the Tesla Shop..."

I spoke with a SA in a showroom back in early March and they did mention that if your car build date is prior to the 27/02/2023 then you will get the UMC.

So safe to say all the people getting their TBD dates/ Hidden VINs recently, we won't get the UMC.

I think they're giving vouchers to orders placed prior to the cut off of 7 July but haven't received their car yet. (going off previous comments in this thread)

Spotted just outside the Hume delivery centre (Canberra) today!

I'm picking up my MYRWD white this Thursday so the white on the photo might be mine! Tesla typically transports cars 1-3 days before pickup to allow for final prep like cleaning, rego, etc.

Note: Not my photo. Taken from a Canberra Facebook group.

The door handles and window surround trim is silver on those vehicles. The model I test drove early December had black door handles and trim

On closer inspection, I think it is a stick on covering so they don't get scratched

Also odd that they leave off the Gemini wheel covers for transport - so the alloys underneath can get scratched instead???

That sounds ominous. Mine is RWD Red with Induction wheels which seems pretty rare. Am losing confidence in the Feb - May timeline, but fingers crossed.

Hi Beerbaron,
I have the same RWD red/induction combination ordered. Order was placed 10/9/22. I received the "Vehicle assigned" email on Tuesday. Hopefully yours isn't too far away.

It's so they can tie the car down to the truck, with straps going through the wheels.

Hey guys, new to this forum. I was assigned a vin with edd of 11th April to 2nd May. I made an enquiry over sms on getting the LR version... Guess what they cancelled my vin and sent me a agreement for LR without my consent and allocated my car to someone. I lost my car just by an enquiry... so lame. Absolutely ridiculous. I have been reassigned a Vin after all the calls with sales manager and now they say its on ship and EDD is end of May... which i doubt would be.. car was built 3/4/23. Any guess on the estimated delivery range.. TIA.

Ask them for supercharging miles or a granny-charger to make up for their stuff-up.

What's your booking date? Looks like Tesla plan to deliver 1,000 - 1,500 cars per month, across Australia (read it online so as not a validated source)so you very well might get your car in May.

Yeah agreed, that would be an infuriating situation and completely reasonable to ask for something...

 

[gordymac29]

What's your booking date? Looks like Tesla plan to deliver 10,000 - 15,000 cars per month, across Australia (read it online so as not a validated source)so you very well might get your car in May.

Can you please share the article?

So sounds like its now 100% that we wont get charging equipment with our Model Ys. Any recommendations for buying some? Does it have to be via Tesla?

It doesn't have to be via Tesla, but their mobile connector is still one of the most affordable, especially if you consider it comes with swappable 10A and 15A plugs that automatically set the charge rate, and you can easily get a 32A plug from third parties.

And it has a button on the car-side plug that tells the car to unlatch the chargeport when you want to unplug it.
With third party cables you'll need to unlock via the car's touchscreen or your mobile phone app or similar.

Agreed, and likewise the Tesla Wall Connector is excellent value for a 3-phase, 32A capable EVSE (also with the charge port open button, of course).

I thought you could also open the charge port by pressing on it (when the car is unlocked).

Let me try to find it. It was by some reporter (last name Akhtar ). Also, I stand corrected that it was 1,000 - 1,500 per month... (a bit too optimistic if it was 10- 15 k ...sorry about that)

Zappi is being said one of the good charges and is compatible with most of the EVs. Have a look at this. EV Charger | #1 Electric Car Charger myenergi Australia
