Hi everyone,
A two years+ reservation holder from "Other Europe" here too
I have been reading this very useful thread, thank you for sharing!! I'm considering ordering through Germany too. Called Tesla Berlin, the call was great, representative said he will come back with more details, but after this positive initial response have been extremely unresponsive (silence for weeks even after sending "reminders"). I did get the following details:
Not encouraging that they are not cooperating on VAT return and forwarding that to "German authorities". Could someone share how did you manage to get the VAT back from Tesla in Germany?
I'm really curious on this point, how do you get this kind of price difference? Here's my comparison:
- Germany base price for SR+ € 44,370 (with German VAT and processing fees) + € 2,380 (environmental bonus with German VAT that we are not eligible for) =
€ 46,750 + add a few percent more, because most likely your VAT is bigger than Germany's 19%
- Poland base price for SR+ € 39,500 + € 880 destination & doc fee = € 40,380 + 21% VAT (as an example) =
€ 48,859
So, that's roughly 2k EUR more, not 5k EUR. What have I missed? Thinking whether to jump on the VAT-maddness train or wait ten more years until they open the configurator to our, by Tesla, even "more other" EU country
Thanks!
