Hello Tesla legends!
Young guy with kids here trying to order my Model 3 and super excited… but I need your help!
Looking at the Long Range and the cost for the base car is $76,200. Love it in Grey and so the $1,500 takes it to $77,700…. And this sits neatly under the hard $78,000 ceiling in NSW to access the Stamp Duty Exemption which is going to save me $3,000!
BUT… and this is where I need your help… the ‘order fee’ of $350 and the ‘delivery fee’ of $1,375 takes the car price to $79,425 and I miss out on the $3,000 exemption completely! The delivery fee and order fee aren’t costing me $1,725 but $5k! Now here’s my question…
I swear I have read on these forums somewhere that Tesla are happy for you to pay the order fee and delivery fee separately… thus keeping the cost of the car for stamp duty expemtion purposes to the ACTUAL car and options (which is the spirit of the legislation!) and the service fees for ordering and delivery sit on a separate and still legitimate invoice!?
I went into Tesla this morning and they swore black and blue they would never do this and that anyone saying on a Forum that Tesla did this for them is lying? To be honest I left feeling silly and despondent!
Can anyone confirm if they have experienced this or heard that Tesla were helping customers in this regard??
Thanks guys and Electric love to you all.
Sean
