    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Yeah of all those features that's probably the one I like the most but moving from Right lane to left lane it needs to be more reliable. Left to right a lot more reliable.

    I had a three month referral tacked on so ended up with 9 months EAP, expires some time late November! Gotta be happy with that, mind you having played with some of the features I can't say it's really worth buying yet. Maybe later who really knows? Took a few days to come through though.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Just an update on my Model Y Perf delivery and EAP, I looked yesterday and noticed that I now have the bonus 6 months EAP added to my account along with the three months referral bonus as well. So my EAP trial now expires 22/11/24. I have been using the lane change feature and that works...

    I got my Y @ $7K cheaper so a big saving there up front but Yes will lose at selling time.. being a MY23 not fussed, I bought the car to drive not to worry about resale value down the track. Those MY23 GC vehicles good to see that they are finally finding their owners.

    None yet, there were some really minor marks around the headlight and the rear hatch but when I pointed it out to the delivery team, the detailing team were right on it. Car presents beautifully and really sparkles in the sunshine. (MYP ex GC vehicle)

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Man that is so disappointing! Check the front seat position and the seat belt because I thought it was the door pocket, maybe even the dash and turns out it was just the seat belt. Otherwise mine is tight as a drum so far, we will see how it is after a few thousand km. Mine arrived with 95%...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    My car today seemed pretty solid and once I put the front passenger seat back the rattle from the seatbelt disappeared, it sounded like it was coming from the door pocket but was just the plastic bit on the seatbelt either hitting the plastic on the B pillar OR the seat itself hard to tell as I...

    Pick up went fairly smoothly today, got there nice and early , then noticed a few water spots around the car, so it went out the back for a detail, no trouble at all very impressed. 1/2 hr later drove off car really sparkled in the sun. I went and had lunch and whilst there noticed some hard...

    Well congratulations, now is the time to make that wall connector look a bit tidier. Somebody posted their wall connector on FB and you should have seen the banter! I get my GC car today at 10:30 am trying to get excited but it's my second EV having owned a Model 3 LR with AB for just over 32...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I ordered in November promised before Xmas and we all know what happened then, it got delayed further then the email of 6months EAP came thru. TBH with the Xmas update the previous year I played with EAP a bit but to me it was too gimmicky, I can see some situations where summon might be useful...

    Wow that looks like nice stuff, I think I will be getting that for my Y too, not cheap but if it's as good a quality as it looks in the video it will be worth it.

    That's good to know that they've honoured it for you, I pick my car up from Hume this Thursday (assuming everything runs to order) and will be seeing if I also get nine months.

    Congratulations its great to see cars finally being delivered. Great colour the blue really pops in the sunshine! which is the colour I have chosen and hopefully later on this week my MYP will be ready for pickup finally after months of waiting.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    All true of a company experiencing growing pains in Oz. My experience was a much better one back in 2021 when I bought my first Tesla and there was no Model Y in sight which of course is now a huge seller for them. At least we are not buying RAV4 hybrids? I heard a two year wait at one stage...

    Ouch $250 on fuel.. I'm sure Tesla do care, you just might have an unsympathetic Tesla agent. Oh and listen to your wife she is talking sense!

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Agreed once you've owned the car for a few months all this will be long forgotten. After explaining my personal situation to Tesla they have finally given me a pickup day for next week. I've not really enjoyed going back to ICE this last week. I keep asking my friend what's that loud noise he...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I think most people on this forum seem to have lost their VIN including yours truly. Yeah its been 9 days since my car landed in Aus too. Perhaps they have roped the telsa team into fixing up all those middle seat tether points for the M3H? I get the feeling that they have a lack of staff, lack...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Yeah I'm almost at the stage of cancelling because I'm not sure that Tesla can deliver my MYP? I either consider secondhand or maybe look at another brand which is in stock and ready to deliver within a few days.. If it's true that there are 100's of cars sitting on the dock in PK why haven't...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Well mine was allegedly on the LA but the silence from Tesla is deafening. Then someone posted they Tesla were having problems shifting the cars as there were no car transporters available. I don't know what to believe now? To make matters worse I said Goodbye to my Model 3 LR yesterday, it had...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Yeah my VIN has been gone for a couple of days now, but the Rego papers and contract (updated) still have that same VIN that was there before, it has CEL8PC within its guts, this reminds me of check engine light on the 8th PC!

    Do we know if customs are delaying the car processing at all?

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    The only price drops were inventory drops for most of December & I think late November as well. Come the New Year prices back up to where they were previously. Most of these MYP were on the GC stinkbug ship.

    Woohoo, I just got a txt and email from Tesla saying my car is in Australia. About time, its been months!

    I'm glad that you got more info from Tesla than I did, I might know something next week is all that they would say... VIN unchanged here too!

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Geez I wonder if my ex GC MYP is on the Lapis Arrow, Tesla won't tell me what ship my car is on and I don't understand why they won't tell me? All information is in your Tesla account and that is as much as we know. I mean seriously, people on here know what ship that there car is on... delivery...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Don't forget the MYP sits a little bit lower on its sports suspension as well. (its only about 15mm I don't know if you'd even notice it?) But yeah apart from the rear spoiler, the red brake calipers, the front fog lights (the LR has these as well) and the 21 inch uberturbines as opposed to the...

    Yeah it's a shame to give it up due to circumstances but I understand that you're pissed off. Good luck with your next order!

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I've had very good experiences with the service team here in Canberra for my Model 3, its very unfortunate these delays. For example I have delayed my trip to Perth to help my elderly Mum deal with the grief of losing her husband (my step father) as well as the inevitable sort through all the...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    You're being pedantic here, I obviously meant that Tesla recommend a "maximum" of 80% charge for daily use for the LR/P version of the battery. No matter 50-80% is a good strategy to follow if you value battery health, although I think for the majority of people battery health will be a...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    You can charge them to 100% every day if you really want to OR if you need the extra range, it's just a recommendation that's all to get maximum battery life. Up to you, if you want to be really anal keep the charge to 40-60% but this is getting off topic, meanwhile I continue to wait for my car...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    I know but I have (well I say have I have ordered last year) a MY Performance which uses a different lighter more powerful battery 75kwh NMC which recommends 80% charging for daily use.

    Nice colour, I was tossing up between that and the blue.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Good to here, I assume you bought a MYRWD? Colour? I'm still waiting to hear when I'll get my MYP, I hope they only put 80% charge in the battery because that's what Tesla recommend for day to day use.

    They wouldn't tell me what ship its on so I'm assuming my ex GC car is just sitting in Shanghai still ☹️

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Unfortunately when you signed the contract, Tesla do not guarantee delivery dates... I got a txt saying that your MYP is in transit well of course it is, on transit from the docks in Shanghai, being loaded/unloaded or enroute to Aus. I guess they don't have to inform us where the car is or what...

    What number did you SMS Tesla too, still no news for me and I'm in Canberra as well, if that makes any difference?

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    The stuff in inventory from the stinky ship was discounted in December 2023, (presumably cancelled orders) now prices are back to their previous levels.

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Did anyone notice in the ports listed in the above link that it never stopped in Shanghai, does this mean there are no Teslas onboard? Edit Or do the websites not list ALL the ports visited?
  41. T

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Only info I can see is Lapis Arrow was heading to Shanghai two days ago, I don't even know if my MYP which was on the GC is heading downunder with the LA? Edit just noticed on another webpage its moored at Shanghai now, probably awaiting a slot to pickup some cars?
  42. T

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    As of a few days ago my car had 38% charge according to the Tesla rep who rang me, there is a bucket load of Model Y's of all grades in inventory now but prices are more than when I purchased so I'm holding on to my order. As long as it's clean of stink bugs and the ship whatever one it is...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Mines a Glovis Car too and delivery of my MYP has now been pushed back even further Feb 24 to March 16 now... I did get a call yesterday from Tesla apologising, obviously preparing for the bad news today!
  44. T

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    In CBR del is 3/2 to 27/2 but they apologised today as the car is still in Shanghai so it doesn't appear to be always the case.
  45. T

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Well I just got the depressing call from Tesla, they claim the car (MYP) is in Shangahi on the Glovis Caravel and they are awaiting further advice from Tesla. Apparently the plant in Shanghai produces only a very small amount of MYP so they (Tesla) are working hard to reallocate another VIN from...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Aren't the batteries put in shipping/transport mode so battery degradation would be minimal? I've got a Lithium ion battery (low tech) in my Ryobi drill, I'm talking the One+ 18V, that I have left for months without using (went on a world cruise) no problem. This battery is from 2011 too and...

    Australian Model Y Waiting Room

    Come back and let us know, still no allocated new VIN for my MYP and nothing more from Tesla, perhaps I should put my money down for a KIA EV6 GT? I think it's about another $10K more.

    Yeah he used to be a lot better, most of his stuff is just clickbait thesedays, I take what he says with a grain of salt now
