Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[Oct22]

Has anyone had their booking date and time scheduled, say for March 30 at 2pm and then had that rescheduled by Tesla last minute?

 

[GoneEV]

I did what you are considering. Still comfortable with my decision.

 

[Nitromatt]

makes me wonder if I should opt for M3LR or bite the bullet and wait for MY RWD

Strongly considered this... So did another test drive, in a M3LR this time and whilst did enjoy the extra grunt, it did solidify my decision on the MY. For me can't go past the extra space, especially leg room in the rear as I regularly cart around the adult sized kids.

After all this Tesla then released the MY LR so was a very easy decision in the end

I hear you, hence the confusion. That being said, it would be a 'second' car for me so while I would love the extra space and a lot easier to get in/out of the car, I am not sure if I have the patience to wait for months (especially after the test drive ).

My next conundrum, going down the NL route.
I really didn't want a white car, of my previous 3, 2 were white. So waiting on the MY LR delivery to update from TBD to a date range and then if it's close enough to 1/7/23 when the new LCT thresholds will come into effect will change the order and add colour. I know it will delay the order.. and will most likely change my mind at least 10 times prior.. but know it will be worth the wait....... that's what I'm telling myself today.. lol

What did they change the new LCT thresholds to? and what were they before?

Edit: NVM found the answer. Old threshold: $69,152. New threshold for 2023-2024: $71,849
Don't know why Teslas are classed in luxury cars. Unless the definition of luxury is based on price and not anything else.

Would we be in the Fuel Efficient Vehicles category?? If so, the thresholds would be different to above.

Are you sure it's going to go up? It doesn't always and I haven't seen anything on the ATO website with a 23/24 range yet?

I think that's the 22/23 rate??

Last year was annouced very early June, so we'll know early enough to make a decision. It's roughly indexed with CPI which has been big this year. So confident it'll go up and a decent amount as well.

Edit: NVM found the answer. Old threshold: $69,152. New threshold for 2023-2024: $71,849

Those rates are for ICE cars, EVs are higher. All I'd need is about a $300 threshold increase to add one of the $1500 colours.. yes it's that close...

Didnt realise the LR was so close to the LCT limit, assumed it would be over by a fair bit.
Given inflation over the last few months you would have to assume it will go up. All adds to the drama of the Tesla waiting game.

For those lucky people 5 MYP spotted on back of truck @ 6am heading towards Sydney this morning.

You would assume so but as an accountant I can tell you that the ATO doesn't always increase thresholds by CPI as it results in less revenue for them. We're one of the few developed countries where thresholds aren't automatically indexed against inflation, but thats for a different forum...

Nice! Getting screwed over by Tesla using a different shipping company going via Singapore. 15 July order and won't get the car until closer to mid may

I'm on the same boat, June 22nd order.

 

[Brissienew]

I order my Y RWD two months ago. If I change my colour now will it delay my delivery?
