Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[Raph_]

What pricing variations did you get? Since ordering I cannot even see a breakdown of the pricing that I agreed to when I ordered. Pretty ridiculous in this day and age.

apparently an increase in CTP price since 1.5 weeks ago when they sent me my supposed final invoice. I swear they just make this crap up along the way!

I’m currently sitting on “final invoice 15” - I don’t think they have a grasp on what “final” means and should perhaps consider dropping it from use

yea this is invoice number 12, its just very frustrating as im on a NL for the MY and everytime they change it they the NL company has to requote again.

Thanks for the clarification. Sucks if you get a 2023 ex Glovis car and have to pay more for insurance as a result. Very suboptimal...

Didn't realize that, may be another reason to cancel and reorder when the GC stock is gone. Tesla is saying no different between 2023 and 2024 Model Y, but not according to NRMA. Just did comparison, it cost almost $300 more for 2023. I am lucky enough to be allocated a September build GC car, so by the time the car ready, it would be 6 months old , as with few people here, checked with Tesla, basically nothing can be done, either take it or cancel it.

They’re all MY23. There’s no MY24 in Australia yet.

Edit: your final invoice should also have a Model Year field.

My Invoice says Model Year 2024

My Invoice says Model Year 2024

Mine too, I'm curious to see if these builds come with the soft refresh seen in some videos (from Giga Shanghai) from October. I guess all the first MY24 builds are in LA, and none yet have an MY24 in their hands yet

We're not getting the China refresh.

As far as the car itself, Tesla is right.
Insurance is another story (see my earlier comment explaining why).

I had a car on GC which was replaced with a new one that was built 26/12/23.
Still a 2023 build, just 3 months newer.

Given there is absolutely no difference between the cars, do you really want to cancel, forfeit your $400 deposit and wait God knows how long for a 2024 build to be available just to save $300 on insurance.

Im the same. I’ve signed my NL paperwork so many times now

 

[MYTBO]

My invoice also says MY 2024 and it came on Paganella.

Yes I'm in the same boat and yes the insurance is more expensive...but deposit and rebates on the line....annoying really

Spoke to Tesla regarding delivery, just got the generic what ever your EDD says which is Feb 13 to march 5.

I reckon Sydney MYs on the paganella won't get there cars till 1st week of March onwards

I wonder if Australia will get these updates (HW4 and the new 'Quicksilver' colour (previously exclusive to Berlin))

Tesla China announces Model Y with Hardware 4

Tesla Giga Shanghai's Model Y units are upgrading to Hardware 4.0. Tesla China announced the upgrade to HW 4.0 on its official Weibo account.

Eventually will. When? Don't know yet.

 

[Goneincognito]

Driving to pick the kiddo up from School just before in our 2010 RAV4.
A bird crapped on the windshield so I put the wipers on to clean it.
A couple of seconds later, CRACK!
Cracked from top to about half way down.
Claim made ($0 excess) and just need to wait.

I must admit, I had a small moment where I thought "I'm glad I don't have the Tesla yet".

Damn. Bird crap is brutal!

 

[Goneincognito]

Damn. Bird crap is brutal!

Especially when it's from a Bin Chicken.
There are 100's in the paddock across from us.

 

[DemomanCA]

Holy crap look at NSW inventory of model Y's. Reakon that's all the GC cars?

Didn't know bird poop can cause a windscreen to crack! Gotta be careful of those bin chickens!

Lol...
In all seriousness, I think it was the temp change from the water when I put the wipers on.
That or the AC hitting the glass as it's a hot day and I had it cranked.
Had a really good look and no impact marks so that's the only explanation I have.

 

[MrMister]

wow, mine was exactly the opposite, I was telling them I wouldn't likely be ready to hand the car over till late Dec/early Jan (wishful thinking) so I said it's probably not worth sending someone out right away, lol. They were pretty insistant and wanted to get that contract signed to lock me in right away (which I used to drive the price up)

This is an update for anyone considering using the carbuyers.com.au service.

Despites Jules22's good experience, I'm not having any luck with these clowns. Their 1300 phone mailbox is full. I still keep getting emails from some bloke called Conlon (from carbuyers.com.au) yet he still hasn't replied to any of my return emails, voice messages or text messages. (he has a mobile) I'm giving these clowns a wide berth as clearly they are totally unprofessional (or even worse). Caveat Emptor.
