Tesla Model 3 in Australia

[natetm3]

Those who ordered in the UK had the same issues with referral codes. It's because I read their posts that I realised that the referral link had to be followed to make the order, so I had no issue, but it certainly isn't intuitive.

For those interested regarding trade in’s, i emailed Tesla and got a reply.

Hi Turbice,

Thank you for your email and congratulation on your Model 3.

Due to volume we’re only able to offer trade in valuations to customers once they’ve placed an order and we get closer to their delivery date.

Trade in valuations are only valid for 30 days however we will reach out around 1 month before your delivery date to get information for your registration, delivery, finance and trade-in.

This will be done by your Delivery Specialist and at that point they should be able to advise on a trade in value for you. I would recommend trying to sell your car privately in the meantime as you will get more on the private market. We don’t sell used cars and would simply shop your car to the highest wholesale bidder for you.

Reading between the lines, it's a reluctant courtesy service. Still, my 16 year old trade in has little residual value so it's a no brainer, not going to trade hours of my time letting people test drive it for $500 more

Gee, you guys spent a lot of time analysing the worth of the referral code.

Doesn't matter much how old your trade-in is - the value of my 3 year old Audi was falling so fast that if I waited for a private sale rather than trading it in on my S, any advantage I might have gained would have been swamped. Certainly if I had waited till the 3 came out I would have lost most of it.

White interior is back on the menu in the UK. But not here, I just checked.

With my history, I'd probably turn that $3,000 into $2,500 in no time...

I couldn't see myself going to a supercharger more than twice in the first 6 months given the existing infrastructure in WA. So I'd probably be looking at adding about 250km range on the first go (home -> Eaton) then 350km range on the way back past. If jontyh's figures are correct, I'm probably missing out on around $40 worth - or at worst around $70 using PJF000's numbers.

Now I don't feel so annoyed!

If a new buyer were to use your referral code you’ll get credits for supercharging

Making 10% from $3k from buying the right shares at the right time isnt tricky. On that basis cancelling is loss making.

Haha. That's right - if you bought $3k worth of TSLA last night at the low and sold at the high, you would have made 8% - not tricky at all

After brokerage fees and CGT you might break even too!

Its surprisingly easy on the asx with certain stocks to pick the price they peak and trough at. Just need time, patience, and no FOMO.

Much easier on Dow and Nasdaq. More volatility with higher volumes. Picked up TSLA @ 180 and cruising now with 4% trailing stop.

Anyone else get a "Your order has been modified" email with a PDF of their order today?

Only difference I can see from a quick glance is that the "terms acceptance date" moved fro 31/5 to 6/6.

Yes, also received that email. No difference beyond the date changing.

Got the same. The order agreement that you can get to by logging into the account portal still says 31/5 though...

Me too..

 

[Stratman]

Ditto, Probably to align with some reporting / accounting metric.

 

[matsoutback]

I panicked at first, thought I'd changed the order myself without realising it. I've been going through the configuration over and over using different markets to compare.... I'm a tragic

 

[raynewman]

It just means the software is krap; uses todays date whenever it 're-prints' a document.

 

[Novatec]

Yes, got the same . . .
