    I received a new VIN in the 363 range this morning and two emails from Tesla one announcing the new VIN and about registration papers. I ordered on Sep 25. When I check the VIN at https://rav.infrastructure.gov.au/, it says it does not exist. Is that a concern? Thanks Model Y RWD Blue

    I rang Tesla and asked what the criteria was for getting the offer of compensation. I was told it was order date that decided eligibility. When they checked with an order date of Sep 25 I should have got the offer. The person I spoke with did not tell me the cut off date. He would take it up...

    I just got an email from Tesla about NSW Stamp Duty "The NSW Government recently announced that the current stamp duty exemption for eligible EV purchases will end on 1 January 2024. Individuals and businesses that have purchased or placed a deposit on an eligible EV prior to 1 January 2024, and...

    My EDD for MY RWD Sydney delivery just from moved to Feb 6 - Feb 27. My guess is either its going back to doing loops outside Brisbane or its going to be kicked out of Australia. I surprised that Tesla has not arranged for the GC's transponder to be turned off so we would have even less...

    Hi Billy, Well they could publish the reports sent to them by their shipping agents - they would contain how many live bugs/ dead bugs / eggs found at last official inspection, the actions they have been directed to taken, the time before the next inspection can be requested, when it is...

    If you do a Google Search "Stink Bug Season 2023 Australia" you will find dozens of specific warnings from shipping companies such as this one The Ultimate Stink Bug Season Guide (2023/24 Update) that warn that Stink Bugs are a real threat to imports and that you MUST have plans if you don't...

    Sorry that was a error on my part the figure he gave was $2k to $3k. Also as I understand it Tesla Australia is not a manufacture and transfers the car payment off shore when the car is delivered. That way they pay less tax. Dont know much about money markets other then he drives a new Bentley

    A friend of mine works in the short term money market. I was complaining about the whole GC mess when I said the car is paid for (Model Y RWD) (at least the lease company has). He asked how much and I said about $70k. He asked how many cars had been paid for and I said I did not know. So he said...

    Maybe the GC crew wanted a few nights on the town after weeks of boredom. Perhaps they took on food & fuel for another 6 months waiting outside Brisbane? How much longer can this go on? No one passing any accurate information. Wake up Tesla - Good customer service requires communications! 😢

    I learned a few things about car shipping that I found interesting yesterday and while these apply to car shipping in general not just to the GC I thought you may find them interesting 1) When you contract a ship you can either take the whole ship in which case you usually pay an amount per day...

    Why would Tesla in Sydney talk direct to DAFF in Brisbane? The relationship is between the DAFF and the shipping company. I am sure that Tesla is speaking with its shipping company and would not welcome its employees in NSW ringing DAFF in Brisbane while is shipping company is managing this...

    Industry data shows charter of car carrier jumps from $5000 a day to $32,000 a day - Shipping costs reach 13-year high Is it because of ships stuck outside port like the GC? How long has it been there roughly 30 days ? Someone is losing serious money.

    Looks like a minimum of two weeks more is coming true - unfortunately A Model Y owner raised another concern to me - The 16V battery in the model Y is not going to like being unplugged for this long. Anyone know if this is a valid concern and if so how we can check if its going to be a problem?

    I dont know if different companies would have different policies. I am with LeasePlan and I asked them if I could swap car VINs given the problems. They said that I would need to terminate the lease early which would cost a lot of money. I dont know about other companies you should ask your them...

    The company I work at is tendering for an IT contract with a large shipping company. I tagged along to a meeting with the company this afternoon to discuss their requirements.

    Totally agree with the need for Biosecurity. But I have to say very disappointed in how Tesla has handled this, the communications and expectation setting have been abysmal. Must have gone to the Optus school of customer management.
