Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[darma]

I actually don't mind it, but I just really enjoy blue cars. Each to their own and we ain't going to devolve into which colour is best here.
White or black interior doesn't bother me either way. I just went with the cheaper option but if a blue with white comes up I would definitely jump ship.

White/black is my choice! Storm troopers. And my daughter wants white, that becomes major factor !. Our previous car was mazda cx9 machine grey, and back then my 3yo daughter was scared to jump in the car as it feels dark.

I Like Blue Also but just not there Blue, I went with the stock standard white with Black Seats and thinking of Wrapping it in a Blue i Like but i haven't even started to look at that yet.

Maybe Something like this or Slightly Darker

Just got mine saying it had arrived about an hour ago. Not long now!

Blue with White seats was a strong contender on my side, the better half was pushing for that but we tossed a coin and went for silver!

If and when we receive our cars, has anyone thought about PPF or ceramic coating. I have got a quote for $3600 to PPF front (bonnet, fenders, front bumper and side mirrors and ceramic coating rest of the car plus windows tinted and interior protection),

The Don (MY RWD - Ordered 25th Oct, Built 31st Oct - Black/Black)

 

[MrMister]

How much did it run you?

He quoted $550 for single phase then an additional $180 to connect to my 3-phase panel.

Great price! I got mine installed in Brisbane for $699 but that was single phase and back to back with the switchboard.

I just took delivery of my MY this morning. Drove it straight to a guy in Spotswood (Melbourne) to do full front PPF and window tint for $2750

 

[dronus]

I would definitely jump ship.

So would the stink bugs...

That is a great price. I couldn’t find anything like that in Sydney.

 

[dronus]

Man, this must be costing all parties involved a hell of a lot of money. Tesla less so, but still I expect there are people cancelling now or not buying due to this disaster.

I wonder if someone’s insurance is going to have to payout for this stinky debacle?

 

[Kevin Li]

That Silver/white was offered to me this morning and I declined. I was also offered the red/20" but also declined. That's a lot of extra money for things I didn't particularly want. And yes, I just realized you lose the rebate too.

Yep those were the exact same options offered to me. I was tempted to switch to get a car earlier but feel exactly the same way, why should I pay extra for options I don’t need or really want when it’s not our fault. Would you think there will be more inventory when DY unload its cars?

Only if someone cancels an order.
Inventory includes vehicles in transit.

[darma]

I was about to take the option, but realised additional $3000 and losing the rebate thats up to $6000. Can’t justify.

I am in the same boat, sold my car as I naively believed in their estimated delivery. They have just pushed the date from 1-22 December to 24 December - 14 January. I need to figure out the bus network since the closest train station is 40 mins on a walk.

Interesting - I never had 1-22 December. I have 11 Dec - 1 Jan which was updated maybe a week ago.

 

[thecasualplaya]

Not to rub salt in the wounds of the GC guys, but has anyone had any texts around the Don Juan shipment?

I heard from a very reliable source that some stink bugs jumped ship onto Don Juan in an effort to infiltrate Australia.

Obviously joking, enjoy the car - no resentment or jealousy here............ .... .......

Nice one - location? I'm guessing all the texts for QLD are going out at the moment.
