Thanks Jon, from what I’ve read it needs to be under $68k so the model 3 would be eligible but not the Y! Yeah I’m in SA, the cut off here is $68,750 so was wondering if you’ve worked out a way that I could use here

Australian Model Y Waiting Room
- Thread starter Joe__B
- Start date
I have also bought it through Business.
Got hidden VIN today. EDD changed to TBD.
Model Y RWD Blue on Black.. Gemini wheels.
Ordered 28th Oct...Brisbane.
How's the car generally mate? Mines still in transit to NQ.
Ordered and received a UMC after seeing the dates for its discontinuance on here. We missed out by about 10 or 11 days by memory.
Full Bore, good that you are finally getting your car. When it comes, would you mind commenting on the delivery experience, since I am also in NQ?
For anyone who has received their car, would you mind telling me how well you can see the night sky through the roof? The recent rebate announcement for Qld has us thinking about switching to a model 3 (yep, after 6 months of waiting!), and being able to use camp mode in the bigger car is one reason in favour of the Y.
I tried to look for vin through source code, but nothing available. It looks like it’s hidden till it’s not assigned and the moment it’s assigned it will be communicated could be a delay of a day max what I feel. Any thoughts please

There is zero safety benefit to AWD, it just means more traction under hard acceleration. The traction control on EVs are so good it doesn't matter. I've done plenty of testing, stomping the accelerator on a wet greasy road in the RWD has a nice soft kick in of traction control.
RWD/Black/Black/Gemini/21 Jan/SA
Got the hidden VIN on Tuesday and the delivery date has changed to 30 Apr - 21 May.
No rego details yet!
Anecdotal evidence but interesting theory, I drove our son's WRX for 8 months and I'd argue that.
yes our friend had no notification until 3-4 days prior to pick-up. Good luck and well done.
Got a RWD standard white telsa VIN assigned today, by email. Dec date I did the deposit.
I am going to buy, depreciate it, claim back GST and sell it in NSW. Sydney area.
Just dont need the car, got a few already, anyone else doing this? will I be able to sell? i am thinking a sale price around 60-62K with < 500km on the clock will be ok. MY23 of course. ...
I checked on carsales.com.au and there are 30 adverts..but they are all people at 70K and the adverts have been there for 6 months etc. So really there are no active sellers..

There is a definite confusion between more traction and safety here. I already said in a modern EV that the safety benefit between AWD and RWD was zero. I didn't say in a high powered AWD ICE car vs a high powered RWD ICE car there were not benefits to AWD, but even then, driven in a safe manner, the "safety" of AWD vs RWD are minimal when the RWD car is fitted with traction control.
All emergency situations, you are either swerving or braking, both of which AWD, (all other variables being equal) will have no influence on safety.
Are you sure that's how the GST works? My understanding is that a business has to be registered for GST in order to claim it back, which means it has to include GST when you sell it. That said, if you wanted to sell for $62K to someone in Queensland this financial year, I know someone who would look pretty hard at the deal!
hopefully that's the case with ours as well! I saw that China approved the regulatory filing to remove the USS in March. The reviews for the camera system is really terrible

Really good! I absolutely love driving it.
The controls take a little while to get used to, especially the control stalk and one pedal driving, but the learning curve is worth it.
I'm a bit bummed we missed out on a UMC by less than 2 weeks, but I was fortunate enough to borrow one from a M3LR owner for a few months. It's surprisingly capable for daily use. If you have a DC fast charger nearby for the occasional long drives you probably won't need a wall connector.
I picked up our MY RWD 3 days ago. Build date was 9th March. It definitely has ultrasonic parking sensors.
Tesla Tom also found the same thing on his new MY.
Congrats! Same config here in Melbourne ordered on 6/1/23. May have to wait another couple of months given the current delays in Port Melbourne.
