Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B

That won't really work as if you depreciate it your cost base on sale will be zero so anything you make will be fully assessable and you need to add GST on sale (assuming your registered for GST). If your thinking of not including the sale in your GST and tax return I'd advise against it as the ATO monitor that data very closely. I'm an accountant

That looks awesome. How much was it to get this done?
I think people are misunderstanding that it can't be charged to 100%.
It definitely can be, it should just be used straight away so you will still get the longer range. Just don't do it all the time and keep it at 100%
What Power Hungry said ^ is spot on.
Haven't done a shipping update for awhile. Will get onto it soon.

Shipping Update:
- Don Juan has finished its business in Port Kembla and is heading to other parts of Asia. Won't be seeing this vessel in Australian waters until at least June.
- Viking Passama... now a week behind schedule. Hasn't docked in Brisbane yet but should see some movement soon.
- Paganella is waiting to doc in Brisbane. Should be today (24/04) according to Public Pages
- Morning Crystal is due to arrive in Brisbane on 29/04
- Turandot is in Shanghai picking up more cars. Armacup has changed the route for this. The vessel was originally going to Brisbane first but is now going to arrive in Melbourne first on 10/05. It makes sense since there are already 3 ships waiting to unload cars in Brisbane.
- Morning Cherry has not officially arrived in Port Kembla but is close. Originally supposed to dock on 16/04
- Paglia has been renamed to Viking Paglia and is mid-way through dropping off cars to our international neighbours to the East of us. It will then go back to Shanghai for more cars.
Has anyone in Brisbane received their VIN/hidden VIN/text recently? Seeing as Viking Passama, Paganella, Morning Crystal are all close by. Would seem strange if there's no action on that front.
Until then, hang in there everyone. I'm still optimistic about getting my car in the "Feb-May" bracket.
Appreciate these updates Elite Display

Sausages aren't free. Can you believe they're now $3.50 at Bunnings?!
We need to find a way to run ourselves on electricity instead of food. Food is not only expensive but the way we process it is super inefficient.
Just took delivery of my new Model Y on last Saturday and wondering if you guys could provide some guidance.
A few issues that I noted.
1) Panel gaps - i presume panel gaps are normal for Tesla... even if i noticed a few, I guess i cannot complain too much.
2) Driver side wireless charging not working properly - raised this issue when picking up the car as it wasnt working at all. SA came and put his phone on the charger and somehow it worked so he dismissed my claim saying that it could be the phone case issue.
Now i tried 3 different iPhones at home still not charging...! Anyone experienced similar issue?
3) There is paint chip which i did not discover on the delivery day as it was hidden under the charge port.
Raised a service request but i am not sure if they will cover it as i was driving a couple of days after delivery.
Anyone discovered paint chip after the delivery? If so, did Tesla fix it for you free of charge?
4) Wood trim - side wood trims feel absolutely fine - but the front wood trim has some grains that is really rough and i can feel it with my fingers.
It isnt such a big issue - anyone think i should raise a service request for this?
Also front wood trim on the left hand side is higher than that of right hand side... not sure if this can be fixed?
I really love the car, but so far quite disappointed by the service experience.
SA tried to walk me out by dismissing all my claims saying that these are normal at delivery.
Frustrating as the Bluetooth was keep disconnecting as well - my SA came and saw Bluetooth was connected and he said it is working and walked away.
Sat down for 10 mins to replicate it and took video which clearly shows it was disconnecting and reconnecting.
Spoke to another agent on site - he came in to reset both the car and my phone and after spending 10 minutes it was working properly. so clearly there was issue...
I was prepared to take my time to look at everything but feel like kind of shooed away by the agent on that day and noticing more and more cosmetic issues... annoyed as the car itself is excellent to drive.

Model Y RWD Blue / Black Interior - 19" Gemini wheels. Ordered 9/8/22 Melbourne.
I have an EDD of May 6 to May 27. I have received a final invoice with VIN and build date of 03/04/2023.
What ship would my car be in on ? I have had a look at the armacup schedule, and my best guess is Turandot scheduled to leave shanghai on 24/4 and arriving in Melbourne on 10/5.

Agreed. I am seeing more and more client these days trying to be clever with this stuff - and they get frustrated and vent on you when you tell them they cant do it

Do you have any pictures of points 1, 3 and 4?
Where in Brisbane did you pick up your car, Mt Gravatt or Pinkenba?
Here you go.
Might be difficult to see the wood trim height difference but if you compare where the front trim meets the side ones, it is off slightly.
Took delivery from Mt Gravatt.

Hi mate I have the same build date for Melbourne RWD Y W/W my EDD is 1-22May I was told it is already on waters so I think it might be paganella
Yep... maybe i am too picky since i read all the QC issues with Tesla - but maybe this is within spec for them.
Congratulations. You've waited long enough. Isn't there a ship arriving basically now in Brisbane? Maybe they were behind in allocating cars? Or maybe you are right and it's a cancellation.
