Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[Sturty]

At some point it must be more worth it ordering one in one of the eastern states then driving it back

Believe me, I considered the logistics of it, but we still have our $3500 government EV grant and I decided I like free money.

It’s why I got the RWD and not the LR, to get the rebate

what is the model and color?

basic Model Y RWD in Quicksilver

 

[3RWD]

Wow. Model Y RWD dropped in price by $5000 today!

Just got an email from Tesla saying my order will be updated to the lower price. Awesome.

Will LR drop too?

Will LR drop too?

Hopefully the performance does as well

I can't help thinking maybe it's a sign that Model Y Juniper is coming soon.

All the usual drips are saying stock has been piling up, I am more inclined to think that were going flat out making vehicles and that the production line has now shut to make Junipers. There was a leak on the Juniper centre console on Reddit, it just looked like the Highland one, but the point is that it is very close.

I'll give it about a month. I am more interested if Shanghai model Y's are changing to the Gigacast chassis.

Either way, $5000 in my pocket and not Uncle Elon. I'll take it.

Definately, if you are happy with what you will get, its cheap as, Juniper will be significantly more expensive, at least for 6-12 months I would guess.

I think it has to do with the RWD Long Range model. They're making room for it to be priced appropriately...

I had that question with our delays, is it even possible with our battery config though?

BTW, I'm trading in my 2022 Model 3 RWD for the Model Y RWD that I ordered on Saturday.
Initial estimated quote for trade-in was $41k and was waiting for the final offer after I submitted the photos on Sunday.
Got the final offer today and it was $40k. I'm glad the trade-in didn't drop as much as the price cuts of the new ones!

RWD price drop today by $5k. This made me change my order from a P to a white RWD 20" black interior. Got my VIN immediately, EDD May 27 to June 17.

For those looking to change and/or order now, I called the call centre and they told me there are 4 Quicksilver RWD with 20" wheels and white interior not yet assigned, and also about 5 Quicksilver RWD with 19" wheels not yet assigned. So there seems to be plenty of RWD stock available.

Why the change? Big drop from a P to a RWD! Just can't resist the price change?

Yeah it's now almost $30k difference - for the extra performance, and slightly more range, I was thinking it wasn't worth it. It's not like I'm going to drag race anyone out here! I used the $5k to get myself enhanced autopilot

hmm why people doesn't like LR ? it something that I'm not aware about it?
should I call tesla to double check my order? any chance that my LR version quick silver is there and no one want to assign?

I get the feeling Tesla aren't building many LR AWD because their movements in pricing indicate a LR RWD model announcement and expect a lot of people to shift their orders...

I think that LR is very good combination between 0-100 about 2s less than rwd with extra long range.. and not expensive like P one. 14k more....now the price gap make me thinking if worth...

As I said earlier, the issue is they stopped making LR's and above for a little while there. The last WA shipment of Model Y's only had RWD. If you want to skip ahead, get the RWD and save some serious $$$. There's a good reason why it was just the RWD price dropping today.
