Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[inexus]

Morning all. Quick question: The Model Y RWD we get comes with a Ryzen CPU right?

(looking at getting a HUD display for the car on black Friday sale )

I get the concern about maintenance but imo the model y looks the best in black.

Will be my first black car but the colour definitely makes the model y look less bulbous. I’m surprised that no one likes the midnight silver because that was my second choice.

White for me does not do the model y any favours and in terms red\ blue, those are colours I’d get tired of very quickly.

I would kill for the midnight cherry colour they have in Europe. That colour makes me drool.

Black all the way.....with ceramic coating....!!!!

It was fine. Put in my details, got more than I expected from a dealer close by. Accepted offer and dropped car off last Friday. Now riding around on a scooter, until my MY arrives off the Stink Ship.

Thanks, if none of my family want my car I might give it a go closer to delivery time and put the coin in my pocket

Damn I looked at the Cherry colour and if that was offered here I'd 100% get that.
I'm a big fan of blue cars recently. My last car was a fantastic metallic blue, a bit lighter than Tesla's, with grey leather interior. I loved it.
I'm not the biggest fan of Tesla's blue but I just don't like the grey too much, white feels far too common and plain for my tastes (I've never had a white car) and I won't get black ever again after my first black car.
I went with Blue/Black on this order but have let Tesla know that if a Blue/white comes up I'm happy to swap.

Have you seen the pics of the new model 3 blue? It looks amazing!

Anticipated Rozelle interchange tunnel is opening... Safe driving Sydney siders along the new network of tunnels in your Teslas when it finally arrives.

Just scheduled in my delivery for next Thursday as well! 10:30am, see you there

Looking forward to it. Been a long time coming. Hopefully no issues with it!

I’ll give you that special TMC nod

I have received an email from Tesla asking if I want to trade in my current vehicle. Has anyone traded in their vehicle? Do you get reasonable offers for trade in. My current car (it’s not Tesla) has a higher value than the Tesla I am buying.

I looked at trading in my MX-5. Retail high $20Ks, Tesla offered $18K

Yes 99% sure it's the Ryzen chip. Be aware that some of the HUDS/driver displays are built only for LHD vehicles. The cable lengths and power connectors may be different.

I'm considering doing a matte PPF... expensive but it looks amazing to me and gives full protection.

It would also look good on a silver car with white interior if one pops up

I have a 3 year lease, so the economics of the wrap just don’t work for me but it looks cool.

My last car had ppf, ceramic coating and ceramic tint. Made zero difference to trade in.

Now I’ll only do ceramic coating and ceramic tint.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm leaning much more towards the ceramic coat and tint same as you. My NL has packages a decent deal for me to take or not.

I have got a quote of $6.5K for full PPF in Sydney. Including windows tinting. They need car for 5 days.

Bumped into this majestic lady while riding past Williamstown in VIC. Could've stopped and asked about her sister 'Caravella', but she looked so sick and tired of people asking about her 'stinky' family affair. So I moved on.

What a sight that would have been if it only was the GC Stinkship … we can all dream one day soon

Just phoned Tesla Melbourne (Richmond) to do the same. Spoke with Rex (very easy going guy - he said he's been dealing with the GC issue all day!). He said they have 3 Midnight Silver's potentially available, one of which has my preferred white seats and 20" induction wheels at Port Melbourne (must have come in via Morning Celo??). They will confirm on Monday if I can have it. Meanwhile I've emailed my NL company to see if they are ok with a colour and VIN swap. I forgot to ask Tesla if they'll be a price difference (because of the colour change). I'll probably hear from both NL and Tesla on Monday.

Heard back from Tesla today (Sat) - that was quick as they said Monday. They've confirmed the swap to Midnight Silver, however the invoice reflects an additional $1500 to cover the non-white paint cost (bummer). I phoned and they said I have to pay for the paint because it was my decision to switch to another car. Fair enough. I've a new VIN too.

Question: What colour number plates are Melbourne Tesla people receiving? I looked at the VICRoads website and it seems Blue-on-White is the current default. I'd prefer Black-on-White or White-on-Black. I guess I have to get custom plates after delivery?

Any idea when/if we'll be seeing the mini update as was announced in China recently? My wife is really attached to getting that accel improvement and also not needing to pay for a LR lol.

I got my final invoice today.

I also have the same question about the license plate. My invoice says ‘standard’, I want the black slim ones.

I believe new shipments leaving China in January will have those minor upgrades.

The GC enjoyers should be getting their text messages to schedule a date soon after the Juniper update has been released and delivered to customers.
