This is giving me the smallest amount of hope for my trade in val coming back higher than the carsales instant offer.

Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B
- Start date
I didn’t get my order in until I got home from work. So it wasn’t till about 4pmI'm still waiting on a VIN and arrival date. Ordered just after 11am on the first day. Blue on black, Sydney
Not sure where that’s going to leave me in terms of waiting on news of a VIN allocation.

122 out of ~860 on this spreadsheet which has a mix of Whirlpool, TMC and facebook users on it.
I don't know if 860 orders is large enough to be statistically representative, but with more than 10,000 RWDs delivered (in 2022) it suggests the MYP orders are in the thousands.

Those 10,000+ RWDs delivered last year weren't all from day 1 either. Would be nice for Tesla to catch up on the backlog.

On a side note, does anybody know if the Model Y performance "Dual Motor" with the red underline is the same as the Model 3? I'm getting mine PPF'ed shortly after delivery. The PPF guy said they can't re-use the existing decal. I picked up a Model 3 one from Tesla this morning.
Lucky you to get a great trade in offer..good luck with MYP. It is a great car..

Where are you getting it done? I'm looking into Exclusive Wraps. No idea how much it's going to be yet.

I realise that, but this first lot of MYP being delivered seems like a tiny smattering. Would have thought they’d be able to at least do all day 1 orders in one shipment but it appears not.

Alex has been great. Very communicative. Answered all questions and concerns promptly. Tell him I sent you!
I got a VIN. Then registration doc. Then requested a trade in quote, which came back as lower than I was happy with. (Carsales instant quote wasn't interested at all; they said "can't offer you anything". And Carbuyer.com.au never got back to me.) Once I rejected the trade in quote, I got the final invoice.

I just got a quote back from Exclusive Wraps down in Archerfield. It was for a XPEL Satin White PPF wrap and it'll cost 7K to do the entire vehicle. It's only 1K less for the gloss finish.
I don't know how much I was expecting it to be but that's a lot.
Can you give an indication on how much it'd be at Highlife?

Yep, I was expecting a lowball offer, but Tesla's offer was a total joke. Subaru Liberty GT SpecB Wagon worth around $12k private, with the cheapest Manual currently listed for $14k (Redbook says Trade-in price of $10k). Tesla offered $4k
. Definitely selling it privately.... I know it's only $6k difference, but their offer shouldn't be 40% of Trade-in value.Carsales Instant offer was declined, and Carpoint (EDIT, might've been Drive.com.au, can't remember since it was a few months ago) one went through but never got back to me.

About that price in Syd as well from what I've seen. PPF is super expensive and for most people probs not worth.
It's 10% the price of the vehicle as an additional cost; that's a significant enough number to make many people hesitate. The only reason that I was thinking of doing it was to prevent chip damage but I've decided that I don't drive on enough roads with debris that this would be a major issue. Should it happen then this seems like a much more efficient option: Touch-up Paint
I know that it worked pretty well here even with white paint:

From our friend Wu Wa.
Looks like Shanghai Southport has been cleared completely:
And, construction has started up again after CNY:
*fingers crossed*

I looked at the UK MYP which comes from China as well and I can't see a red line? Note I just googled and looked at this Tesla Model Y Review 2023 | Top Gear
PS my eyesight isn't the best so my recommendation is to look at this and other UK ones better than I did.
