Tesla Model Y in Australia

[Chuq]

I'm sure you could instantly flip it and not lose money. You'd just have decide of the price of the Y was worth it.

I could, but then I'd be stuck with no car for who knows how long. (Or stuck with driving the Leaf!)

I figured that the price of a Model Y RWD at 10-12% more than the Model 3 RWD was worth it, but the risks were (a) timing (b) missing out on corporate discount - hence why I ordered in December (c) risk of price rises, which have happened (d) risk of RWD not being available at launch. Also, as it turns out, the risk of Pepper putting their finance rate up!

My Model 3 RWD in Blue is costing me just over $62k.

If the Model Y RWD had've gone on sale in December for $66k before ORC, it would have cost me <$67k (in white) and I probably could have stretched for it... but if it went on sale now, it would probably be >$73k. Too much for me.

I'm expecting the Model 3 to be a long term car (it's far more expensive than any other car I've owned) but if the trade-in prices are still high in a year or two's time, I'll have to reconsider!

In todays high inflation economy that seemly has no end, I am sure, being an 'in demand' item, it will still be more than likely worth more than what you paid for it new! Yes, you have no idea what is around the corner, so enjoy it.

Model Y for Israel.

Tesla Launches Model Y Orders in Israel, Delivering in July - TeslaNorth.com

Roughly seven months after the Tesla Model Y was registered with Israel’s Ministry of Transport, Tesla has officially started taking orders for the all-electric crossover in the country through its website (via @ConnectingODots). Israelis looking to get a Model Y will have to pay a pretty steep...

Appears as though it will come from Berlin. The ramp of Berlin is insane. Hopefully Shanghai will be free enough soon and out of lockdowns to open Australian Y orders.

 

[GrimRe]

They are targeting re-opening on April 11 in Shanghai. I think if that happens we are in good shape for a late April early may order opening.

Israel just had model Y orders open, Berlin cars, delivery from August

 

[Leeroy]

Isn’t Israel LHD though?

 

[Onshore]

Isn’t Israel LHD though?

It is. Also has ports on the Med, which makes Berlin the logical choice from a logistics perspective.

 

[Leeroy]

My point being, I don’t think that will help Aus deliveries. It may free up other factories, but the backlog is so high it would be awhile before we see the flow on effect.

This is big. Orders must be imminent. I would like confirmed LR pricing.
I wonder what will be available first? Pricing is confirmed but could LR and P deliveries happen before SR?

Word is that LR will come later due to supply constraints

As per my previous post, it's now confirmed that Tesla is clearly personally trolling me

Do you know where that came from?

Seperate question: Does this technically put the SR under the NSW EV incentive threshold?

 

[RobDickinson]

LR model 3 launched several weeks after the sr+ and perf in nz

Yep. Your model 3 is due for delivery this Friday, right? Is your slot in the morning? Tesla will open up Model Y ordering on late Friday afternoon.

Guaranteed.

Just make sure you get finance with no early payout penalties....

Doubt you’ll have any trouble selling in the current climate!

Then I'd have to cope with just my Leaf for another 9+ months :-O
