Registering in the ACT

[whiten0ise]

I Called AccessCBR and was told they are working on a click and collect system for the plates. Figured if we hear more from them we could post updates here since the information on the AccessCBR webpage is very hard to find.

I also have a question how much out of pocket (excluding MAI) registration for an M3?

The registration component is free for first 2 years for an EV. However as well as the MAI you still have to pay the: Road rescue fee, Road safety contribution, Lifetime care and support levy, and Motor accident levy, which together amount to $92.60 for 12 months. Then for a new registration you also have to pay the "establish new registration" fee which is $99.30.

Glad to hear there may be a click and collect option to register the car. I have a temporary registration for 28 days as I am an essential worker (cost $70), but this means I'm driving around with no plates and fear that I will constantly get pulled over. I tried to submit the paperwork using the transfer method, but was told that they couldn't do it (that was two weeks ago). Watch this space!

What was the process of getting the temp rego?

 

[Gayle S]

I rang Access Canberra and asked for a temporary registration

 

[Aphelion]

I got temp rego and have stuck to my local area..

Waiting for plate collection to be sorted.

 

[whiten0ise]

I'll wait for tomorrow's announcements and decide if i'll pull the trigger on the temp rego. do they associate it to your VIN and Driver's license?

Yes

 

[Gayle S]

Yes

I rang Access Canberra again yesterday to ask if there had been any decision and was told that there were no plans (but have found it depends who you get on the phone), meanwhile I have the temporary registration stuck to the front windscreen and letter to authorise me to move around Canberra

 

[Aphelion]

How hard is it to process it all online and have a click and collect. Hopeless.

or even sending it through auspost if they are that paranoid

I agree Aphelion, must admit I'm a bit frustrated that this hasn't been catered for, particularly now that they have just extended lockdown for another 4 weeks.

 

[whiten0ise]

Bit the bullet and got a UVP, doesn't sound like this click and collect situation is happening anytime soon.

 

[Gayle S]

I now need another 28 day UVP to temporarily register my car in the ACT, my previous one expires tomorrow, therefore another $70 down the drain. I'm hoping that this will be credited for when I can do a proper registration but I sure feel weird driving around with no plates. On the plus side, there is another white Model 3 in my area who also doesn't have plates - nice to know I'm not the only one. Lockdown sucks

Haha that's probably me (northside). Yep same will have to fork out another $70 toward my $800 p.a. 'free' EV registration.

So has no one heard anything at all?

Yes it's weird but I've driven past a few police and they don't seem to pay much attention to it.

Someone should contact the media or something this is ridiculous now, no communication, no updates.

IWe need a reporter to ask the question at the press conferences. I've just finished renewing for another 28 days and paid another $70. It was explained to me that this was only for a temporary permit to cover the 3rd party costs and an admin fee. When I am able to register, I will pay the normal amount for it, less the free registration component for EV's.

I think about half is CTP insured which is fair enough. So the cost is reasonable it's just disappointing that the government we fund goes to ground over it and says nothing.

Click and collect or post should be incredibly easy to set up.

Contact some opposition MLAs to see if they pull their finger out. Maybe work in religious freedom to get them motivated.

I've had a cop car/van right behind me about 4-5 and they couldn't care less, this registration business sounds like big conspiracy /s. I'm hoping we get more info by Friday with some of the restrictions easing by then.

 

[whiten0ise]

apologies for double post but i couldnt edit my previous post. Just got off the phone with AccessCBR and were told they have not been told when they would be able to register a car again (so definitely not tomorrow). It is ridiculous that you will be able to get a haircut before registering a vehicle.
