    Weird, they're usually pretty quick to accept members as long as you give them proof that you are an owner (ie, rego, VIN or Order Number). If you want to get in touch I can see what I can do to help you?

    Well I think I must have filled the form out at https://www.teslaownersclub.co.nz/ about 3 or 4 times over the months since my car was delivered back in September. Each time with no response, I gave up
    I did receive a random email out of the blue in February about a Tauranga meet , I've heard nothing before or since

    I expected some sort of welcome or introductory email....or something with some information
    not just email invite to a Tauranga meet up which I could not attend

    what is with the NZ pricing at present? Model 3 SR+ going for $79,990 new, seems to be $13,000 more than the comparable US SR+.

    US price: $38k USD
    Current exchange rate 0.655
    US price converted to NZD: $58k
    Plus 15% GST: $66,700

    personally I am waiting for the SR Model Y, but if the pricing is going to be comparatively this bad I’m not sure when I will end up getting one.

    Shipping to NZ also has to be factored in....pretty expensive shipping
    Maybe if the base model M3 had been sold in NZ things would have been different

    Way back only seems to go back to September 2019
    has M3 SR+ at $75,900

    Unfortunately I think the pricing for the NZ MY would be around the same difference, if not worse
    comparing US M3 to NZ M3 prices. Unless they start making M3 and MY for APAC in China

    Recent tweets indicate that Model Y SR is cancelled and they reduced the USA price of the Model Y LR AWD by $3,000 USD. Model Y LR RWD is coming to USA late this year, but it appears that will be the lowest price Model Y for the foreseeable future.
