Sorry for bringing your calculations into disrepute 772. That's good news though - it means my estimates are a few hundred dollars high!
Of course, the fact is the $4000 for shipping and insurance is a huge guess. In reality, the price will be what Tesla say it will be and until they tell us what that is we're just guessing.
The AUD is doing what my sources suggested. 92.3c this evening! Go Aussie!

Apparently we won't be able to select the third row jump seats as an option in Australia as they are not permitted under Australian Design Rules (similar to Hong Kong). Don't know how I am going to break that one to my two girls!

Hi Mspcooper - do you have anything that shows this is currently offered by MB in Australia? I couldn't find any obvious mention of it on the Australian brochures etc. The advice I received that it wasn't permitted was direct from Tesla. Maybe it is the same issue as other countries that it is permitted but a seat must be a certain minimum size and the Tesla ones fall short?

Confirmed
I wrote to Jerome Guillen a few days ago regarding either selling the battery separately or leasing it over a short lease. I just a few minutes ago received the following reply from him:-
"Thanks again for your message. We have reviewed your suggestion carefully with our finance and tax groups. We will not be able to proceed as this time, for a variety of reasons. That said, we remain committed to the Australian market: as you might have observed, we are hiring and locking in leases. We are days away from releasing the Autralian pricing (same model as for other countries) and configurator
Thanks for your continued support. Best regards,

Jump Seats
All I can do is to send pictures of our jump seats. Except for the height of them, i personally do not see a big difference. However, i do not know the exact specs for MS jump seats. Would you like some pictures?

Really? Is this official? This is a big problem for me. I had just been assuming it would be available and hadn't bothered to ask. They're shown on the features page of the Australian site (http://www.teslamotors.com/en_AU/models/features#/interior) although this could just be an oversight. My kids will be just the right age/size for the jump seats for several years. I had great visions of 2 kids in the back, grandparents in the rear seat, 2 more adults up the front and still room in the frunk for more. This will be very disappointing. A deal breaker? I don't know. Maybe.
I can see this would be a big limiting factor for some people. Not for myself, I'd value that extra space low in the boot. But its a shame to have the option removed.
I suppose there's always the model X.. But who knows how long that would take.
I'm pumping Google daily now looking for info on RHD Tesla's... Must be soon.

Short answer: Let me google that for you
But longer answer is: what makes you think you need LDW/CDW? Suggest you look into travel insurance and what it covers.
As to whether Tesla would allow you a test drive while there ... who knows ... they have their own Ts&Cs. Have you asked them?

Hi guys - just got word that pricing will be out in the next week or two. Apparently the delay is because Australia has the most complicated customs/duty/tax system, and also ways that pricing needs to be displayed. Also, pricing will be separated by State/Territory!!!
