The D thread Australia & New Zealand

[Aussie Yank]

Is the price increase because:

1. The Aussie dollar has fallen;

2. Aussie demad for the car is quite robust, even too much;

3. Teslas all over the world have gone up;

4. All or any combination of the above; please explain...

1....yes, significantly
2....yes, but insignificant. Aussie demand is minuscule. If they
hit 1000 cars that would be fantastic. But tesla is selling or at least trying
to sell 1000 per WEEK
3....not apparent. Perhaps the opposite
4...see number one

(exchange rates is all it is)

The overarching problem is socialism. The government needs more and more money to support " entitlement" payments to more and more people who have zero " obligations" . The money has to come from somewhere, so we are taxed to death.

I confirmed my P85D order this weekend. At that time it was scheduled for an October delivery, which I took to mean tesla time for sometime this year. My order now shows up as 'your model s has entered the production queue at our factory....' With an estimated delivery of late September. I am guessing all the Australian D orders will be sent down the line in an initial production run sometime in late May/early June for a September delivery.

Wish you were right.... But my bet at the moment is production from 1 July 2015...

Overseas production tends to happen last half of last month of the quarter cause units produced then won't reach USA customers in this period anyhow.

Yup, quite right.... 15 June 2015 then....

(give or take a couple of months).

Do we get our VINs next week?

Announcing their Q1 figures, Tesla also said, "70D has only beenshown in North America, and our all-wheel drive cars will not be available in right hand drive markets until Q3."


Not sure if that means they are or will stay on track, but it certainly doesn't mean they are ahead of time.

Still the results for Tesla are encouraging overall and I am encouraged by them.

Just got my VIN! 890xx

Congratulations cynix... I have been looking every day for mine but alas, I am still in Limbo.


I see you ordered yours as far back as October last year. I only ordered mine in early Feb of this year. No doubt there is a million orders between yours and mine, so I guess in another century or two I might get my VIN...

 

[Trav]

I just got mine as well!!

 

[ZTrekus]

Congratulaions Trav!

Thanks brewster. Looks like we are both chewing our fingernails off...

When is your expected delivery?

Late September, yours?

 

[ZTrekus]

Late September, yours?

Mine says "September".

My order was confirmed 2 Feb 2015 - still awaiting VIN.

Trav's order was confirmed 31 March 2015 - but he got a VIN yesterday 11 May 2015. That is a puzzlement. I feel forgotten. But I shall wait it out.

I am in the same boat.....confirmed 1 December !!! No VIN yet.........as we already said, probably all the cars on the same shipment/boat....at least that is the story we are telling OURSELVES !

Glad to see movement on the build....sounds like they might beat their pessimistic dates

Hi Aussie Yank,

I am actually re-assured by your post. My Delivery Specialist assures me that we are all expected around the same time and to therefore not worry too much about when the VIN is allocated.

So yeah.

Still waiting though ;-)
