Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B
- Start date
If I don’t have the vehicle before the end of the year I’ll be canceling. My experience with Tesla this far has been nothing short of abysmal.
A friend of mine works in the short term money market. I was complaining about the whole GC mess when I said the car is paid for (Model Y RWD) (at least the lease company has). He asked how much and I said about $70k. He asked how many cars had been paid for and I said I did not know. So he said if 100 cars had been paid for that's $7 million. Tesla would not have to pay for the cars because they have not delivered and if they invested the money with his firm they could earn about between $20k and $30k a day without much risk, more if they knew the money would be available for longer. I wonder if Tesla has made money from cars that have been paid for and not delivered?
It seems to me that they probably have a fund that they could use to compensate the customers that have been so poorly treated. Not likely to happen is it?

Wonder if Ladbroke's is offering odds on which month in 2024 Tesla will deliver? I might put $10 on June 2024
Given that there are 21 days left in the year (including Public Holidays), you may as well cancel now.
Brisbane "might" get their cars delivered but I don't think there is a chance that Sydney will.
If mine gets delivered in Melb before EOY, I'm draining my bank account and buying lottery tickets.
I was in a similar position in the lead-up to June 30. In retrospect, I should have cancelled. If you are leaning towards cancelling, you probably should. Tesla have not been good to deal with, and the car underperforms compared to the marketing. There are other choices available now
$30k a day x 365 days is nearly $11 million a year from a $7 million investment. Is your friend suggesting they can deliver in the range of 150% return over a year? That would be a bit special.
Sorry that was a error on my part the figure he gave was $2k to $3k. Also as I understand it Tesla Australia is not a manufacture and transfers the car payment off shore when the car is delivered. That way they pay less tax. Dont know much about money markets other then he drives a new Bentley
No worries. Plenty of people who don't know anything about money lease expensive cars that they can't really afford. Either way, Tesla Australia and/or the parent company would no doubt benefit from holding the money. Probably not enough to justify the reputational damage when their deliveries are excessively delayed.
Also how much does Mr Wall Street think it’s costing to keep that bug infested car coffin going for the few months it’s been sitting off Brisbane.
Bumping this as I was new to the forum when I posted it and seems relevant to current conversation. I will contact the terminal again today and will update.
He did not know but he did text me this link How much does it cost to run a container ship, like upkeep, maintenance, insurance, etc.? Is it true it’s not profitable? which is about a container ship but would probably give a guide
I was in a Tesla showroom yesterday (my partner is looking at also getting a Tesla) and when I mentioned I already had one on order and it was on a certain vessel that shall not be named the Tesla guys immediately went into "the damn Glovis, so sorry for you" mode but they were great and now I am looking at cancelling my Y and switching into a 3 just because I have to be in a car by January 8 for work reasons. Anyway, as we were walking out I overheard the another couple ask how long it would be until delivery if they ordered a car now and the Tesla rep was saying "December/January although there is a small biosecurity issue with the vessel carrying most of the stock so there may be further delays". I couldn't help but smile and quietly curse the damn Glovis.

I'm looking to cancel the lease at this stage and redo it when this whole mess is sorted. Far too much of a headache for the end of the year and it is downright wrong for me to be paying for this vehicle with no clear outline of what is actually going on.
Dude it's Dec 11, and the ship is still off the coast of Brisbane with no confirmed movement date. There is no way you're getting it this year. If you're serious about cancelling, then you may be better off doing it now to rejoin the queue earlier (if that's even how it works)
