How do you guys go around applying to get the Stamp Duty Refund? When I google it and try to go and apply for it I am met with a login page asking for 'enter your revenue NSW Electric Vehicle login' .. https://www.revenue.nsw.gov.au/grants-schemes/electric-vehicle-stamp-duty-refund

For people doing trade-in - did you still just arrive at the time Tesla said to be there for the pickup or did you arrive earlier for handing over your old car?

Same. Got a new VIN assigned with a build date of 27th Dec. This experience has been the worst. I wouldn't be surprised that either a) an upgraded MY will start coming out with HW4 in the next few months perhaps with the factory having been upgraded over the golden week holidays in China, or b)...

for trade-in I saw something about the car must have 3+ months remaining registration on it. Is anybody able to confirm this? My rego is up Feb 8 (yep pretty annoying having to renew with the whole GC saga..) If so I assume I can't just renew my rego for 3 months but I have to do it for a full...

Our MY comes with AMD Processor right?

I would not be surprised if cars on ships after MC are delivered before we get our cars in late Feb - seems to be the Tesla logic going on. When I asked why it takes so long the Tesla person told me that it is because the spec of the car is different from those who can pick it up next week...

Finally got a link to book delivery today. Earliest date I could pick was Feb 20. What a bloody joke. Great that people get cars so quickly but can't get over how poor it is organised by Tesla so that people who ordered more recently get to pick up their cars weeks before me. This whole...

You know for a fact or simply assuming this? I guess it is the latter….

Is this the same as the ‘your car has arrived in Australia’ or a second sms?

Can't believe the day has come... bye marinetraffic website. You have been a permanent tab in my browser since November. I have refreshed you multiple times every day with your only message to me being the occasional 'are you still there' :)

So many white Tesla's... don't know why people like them unless it's because of saving the money ;)

Curious to know if anybody in Brisbane who got reassigned a vin start to find them in rav in the next few days…

I hope for you that you get a new one. I will be getting a Glovis Caraval MY that was built in Sept 2023 but delivered end of feb - so five months old - not thrilled with this.

I was sent sms and call constantly to come for a test drive. When I spoke to staff in Chatswood I was told to order quickly and it would only be a few weeks to get a car…. Four months later now… Completely agree that Tesla can’t just wipe their hands and say it was not in they control. The...

Currently it is speeding in the opposite direction of Brisbane, out into the ocean.

Going back to Shanghai and getting the updated MY for us... here is for wishing for a surprising happy ending for waiting so long :)

This delay is just silly... and of course no news from Tesla. Probably will get something in a few days with 'continued bio hazard' and 'we will update you as soon as we know more'.... i.e. nothing concrete about what has been going on over the last 6+ weeks. I wonder what the people onboard is...

Yes that's my worry too. I'm also sure that Tesla won't do any price drops on the MY since they got so many cars on GC. It will only happen after they offloaded all those cars. Tesla doesn't care that's the thing. After messaging them a few times it is clear that all we get is 'we are sorry but...

I have resorted to do drive-bys where the EV chargers are located at the shopping centres... that's the my MY drug to keep me going till GC comes to Sydney :(

Really curious how many stinkbugs there are in the ship - 10, 1000, 10000? I mean we are talking about a ship taking only around ~5 days from China and it's full of CARS.. what can these things feed on from a car? I've never seen a big group of stinkbugs around where I live; Only once in a...

Man I am a bit jealous of the users that joined recently saying "I ordered my MY two weeks ago and I haven't received my VIN yet". They haven't experienced the whole GC rollercoaster journey we have been on since the beginning of November :) Do you recall when we got an email saying "your car...

I recommend to SMS Tesla and give them your feedback on how they have handled the situation over the last month. Perhaps if there are enough doing this that they understand there are quite a few customers that are not amazed with them.

You are on GC too right? I am scratching my head how come people in Brisbane get these updates when Sydney based people like me continue to have an EDD saying Dec 11 - Jan 1.... Tesla is silent as always. Can only assume they got some info if they move the EDD.

Wonder why these inspections and plans are shrouded in secrecy... it's nothing more than a bloody container ship.

I asked my NL company if I could just change the colour with $0 difference and was told I will have to go through the whole quote process again to get a new lease.... using sgfleet.

Does anybody think Tesla will do anything extra when GC finally pulls in with the cars to get them delivered faster if it occurs right before Christmas? I seriously doubt they care.

Yep I bought a car from Tesla and they provided me with a delivery date. How they meet it is their problem. Like when you have issues with a delivery from Amazon they don’t say ‘sorry but that is the sub contractors fault and not ours’… they promised a service and should deliver to it.

I disagree. There are not a ton of variables here. Not that many actually involved that makes the decisons. Tele so far has said not said ‘we don’t know ‘ but simply ‘we will tell you once we have more to say…’ which indicates they likely know more than they are willing to share and be...

Still the same 11 dec - 1 jan. Having this updated to January is bloody painful. I am really disappointed with how Tesla has not offered any details. Again to my earlier statement, I got a feeling that Tesla is simply trying to avoid customers dropping their orders by drip feeding the minimum...

Alright GC is in the move. Time to see where it goes next to hang out for a few weeks…

Yes, got a very short reply from Tesla today asking for an update…. That we will get an automated update when they are ready to share news. Not happy with this any longer. I don’t believe they don’t know anything but just won’t share it for some reason. Maybe they worry if we know how delayed...

I’ll make a t-shirt with that and the ai picture and wear it when I pick up my MY …

I seriously hope Tesla will be able to provide some more transparency for what is happening with GC. This is getting silly with them sending out VINs and people expect to get ready and sell their cars and then nothing but a single email about 'major delay...' and that's it. I can't believe...

Maybe we can ask Tesla for getting GC to go to Circular Quay in Sydney and we can pick the cars up at the Harbour. Now that would be cool! :)

GC at the grain station... soooo close. Let's hope it will magically move a bit forward where it an offload some cars :)

Yes hard to believe that a major car company with 2000+ cars on a ship have no ability to get more details for what is happening… seems really odd.

Maybe the inside friend at Tesla has an inside friend af DAFF :P

Morning all. Quick question: The Model Y RWD we get comes with a Ryzen CPU right? (looking at getting a HUD display for the car on black Friday sale :))

Let's start the rumours... - New Model Y available for ordering for Australia? - Big drop in price of the existing model Y? Everybody drops their current order, take it on the chin to loose their ordering fee and referrals and am happy to wait another 4 months :p :p

While we wait another few weeks months.... quite a nice video showing what our favourite container ship looks like inside :)

Tesla's own website warning of the consequences of draining all the battery on a car... "If you allow the Battery to discharge to 0%, other components may become damaged or require replacement (for example, the low voltage battery). In these cases, you are responsible for repair and/or...

Oh my goodness, this is just crazy! I really wish Tesla or somebody would share more info with us for what is going on. Having such a big container ship being idle for weeks can't be cheap for the company. They could have gone to China and back again twice in the period it has been hanging...

I would be ok if they give me a free UMC... I've seen other people getting this for waiting longer (maybe it helps being a youtuber that may make more noise if Tesla isn't nice :) )

Kembla port update - now Monday 8am.... Man this waiting time is painful. Will be really annoying if we don't get the cards before Christmas :(

Not sure if it is GCs fault it has stinkbugs or it was on the cars when they were onboarded.

This is what life has become now when you can be excited by... watching a small orange arrow moving 1cm an hour on a map waiting to see where it will stop :)

To OPs point, expecting that people are not away on holidays in late December is a big ask, especially in the light of the change that happened.

Did Tesla literally say they would send a HW4 version or it is your assumption?

Talking from experience?
