Its Legit. Now its just a matter of figuring what they are doing. Main guess from most at the moment is that these are Press vehicles. This makes sense as most press vehicles get registered in Vic then sent out to all publications. These appear to be the SR Y model given no badging on the back.

God i hope he is right.

That Q4 increase of 1000 units is what i have been relying on for Australian Y orders opening in Q2/Q3/ The significant reduction in Q2 which was 5000 and is now 2000 is the concern because they might take some of our potential allocation to other markets.

Im also curious on this? @ForFXsakes

Dont leave us. While you have chosen another vehicle, you seem to have the best connections and best insight into Australian Y orders/delivery. At this stage I would be happy to be able to place an order.

So given Shanghai will be closed till mid-May now and some reports now saying June, the Model Y isnt looking good for Australia in 2022. Maybe Tesla can rethink their exports and send us stock from Fremont, Texas or Berlin???

Im concerned about this lockdown in Shanghai. Reports are that its indefinite and possibly no production from that factory for all of April. We know the first month of the quarter is usually for production of export stock so this could have big implications for us and other countries receiving...

I really hope this is a sign that it will go live Monday or sometime next week.

I dont think orders will open today. They are focused on Cyber Rodeo and the reveal of the Standard AWD Y. Also they only gave the prices to industry on Wednesday so will probably let them digest more.

I thought the Y RWD for China and Hong Kong were all LFPs Only LR and P use performance, similar to the 3.

Exactly the same as me. Really wished the only options were LR and P at first, would have given her the only option to get the LR. It was hard enough convincing her in the first place.

MYSR became known as MY RWD. Thats available in China and Hong Kong LR AWD hasnt got confirmed pricing yet. May release in a few months after the others due to supply constraints.

Could be this friday, could be after the easter long weekend (rumour), could be in a month?? Anyones guess.

Same here. Did not go over well. I mentioned that the RWD would be available and she immediately said to get whatever the cheapest was. Lets hope RWD is the same as Hong Kong with the upgraded interior and lighting.

I believe so. I think the article from TheDriven mentions that.

Do you know where that came from? Seperate question: Does this technically put the SR under the NSW EV incentive threshold?

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?

Model Y for Israel. https://teslanorth.com/2022/04/05/tesla-launches-model-y-orders-in-israel-delivering-in-july/ 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.

I really hope so. This might align with that order rumour of "After Easter Weekend"???

Do you have a source? Very True. Berlin just delivered 30 vehicles and is expected to do more customer deliveries in April which may be before or around the Easter long weekend then maybe a couple of weeks after that (if we are lucky) our orders could open so then late April/early May. That...

I thought i read somewhere previously that our pricing was based on US because there was a big whinge when we started receiving cars from Shanghai and at their conversion rate our Model 3 should have been closer to 50K after taxes and imports. This may have changed now so not 100% on that. I...

So Model 3 RWD has just had a 1K price increase this afternoon. Do we think its for the AUD vs USD, inflation or possible impending Model Y orders (close the gap on price)?? Thoughts?

I am very excited by the news. I think Austin wins right because they have already assigned vins? I also read the Berlin opening party could be scheduled for 1 April? Lets just hope the news is actually right this time and they get the approval because as noted they that court case this friday...

Its a good question. To change your order you lose your deposit, its only $350 but that might deter some people. In terms of delivery, they could arrive at the same time, so it wont be a situation of ordering a Y because it will arrive before the 3, best case is that the Y is on the same Q3 boat...

Your situation sounds identical to mine. Ageing car, just had engine trouble, had it fixed, a new problem has now occurred. Need brakes and 4 new tires and rego is in June. I just keep telling myself that i just need to fix these few things to make it sellable when the Y is finally delivered...

I love that advice but thats her guess and take it with a grain of salt. I spoke to an SA who said he thinks it will be 2024. I laughed. All signs point to this year if Berlin can get online and sell. The Y was certified here in September 2021, UK deliveries have started (they have sold out but...

I will take the "old" Model Y right now. Happy for them to send them here. Australia will take them. Saw this tweet this morning about the 4680 cells... If i have read that correctly, the 4680 is 5x more efficient than the current 2170 cells?

My thoughts exactly. I think once they can see Berlin in full production (without the 500 car per week limit currently imposed) then they should be able to realise what they could reasonably fulfil/produce. I also realise they probably have these numbers based on the test runs they have been...

I mean they did say this years focus was fulfilling orders and increasing production, finally a good decision but it must be extremely constrained to not open order books for Aus and NZ where you would only need 4 days to 1 week max to meet the first order demand (considering they produce a care...

Agree with the time estimate. Orders could open Q2 for shipping/delivery on that Q3 boat that has the 3s on it. It would be small numbers if orders do open. Could be Q4. Hope its before xmas.

Happy days for the UK https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-model-y-deliveries-have-begun-in-the-uk-and-the-first-cars-have-already-been-handed-over-to-owners Come on, Elon. Open those orders.

Nope. All variants are 5-7 month wait.

True. Definitely easier for production given the large number of LHD markets but based on their current uptake of Tesla and small charging network it just doesnt make sense to service that market before us.

And yet they are getting the Model Y before us??

Exactly. I always thought Tesla's strategy was to open new markets while they are still trying to fill existing markets but Israel and the UAE make no sense with how small sales they have compared to us.

Why are they shipping cars there without orders even being open?

Theres something fishy going on. Model Y deliveries begin in the UAE shortly. This is fine, order page has been open since September https://driveteslacanada.ca/model-y/tesla-model-ys-arrive-dubai-first-deliveries-united-arab-emirates/ But then you have Israel deliveries to start soon and they...

Further proof that orders and deliveries should open this year for Australian Model Y. We can bump those numbers by 2000 units easy.

I have a more positive outlook after that earnings call. I think their comments about no new vehicles in 2022 is a good sign that Y orders and deliveries will happen this year in Australia. As Tesla mentioned they will focus on production of current models this year, with Berlin and Austin...

Im okay with that. I'll happily accept a Y right now with 2170 cells.

Oh dont worry, she know about every feature of the 3 and Y :) We have loaded the kids into the 3 and she doesnt like how low it is (coming from a Audi Q3)

I was definitely one of those optimistic people saying and hoping for the orders to open in November/December (this was purely based on 3 orders opening 1 month after UK) but that came and went and like youve said Jan is nearly over too. Theres a couple of things that keep my hopes up. Texas...

The boat is speeding. Australian M3 deliveries for this quarter are only showing delivery estimates of Feb 8-16th at the moment as the earliest. Great news on progress again. Open up those orders Tesla!

I've rented twice from Evee and still cant get her to change her mind :(

LOL. Has to be one of the best responses ive seen so far. Just goes to show how little the SA at Tesla are told or know. I wanted to do this too but my wife wanted the higher ride height and cargo space of the SUV so i have to keep waiting :( Wouldnt it be funny if he did know of an...

Thats the hope im holding onto. Model Y for Aus in 2022!!

I havent heard that before. The first month of each quarter is for export production. You will see from all the recent vin assignments of 3s out of Shanghai that this matches. The last month of a quarter is traditionally reserved for domestic orders. The could still open orders in March (early...

So the configurator in Europe now says March deliveries along with reports customers have been advised deliveries will happen in March. This would indicate production to start in late Feb/Early March which may then indicate they will know more around production numbers and possibly free up...

We're getting there... Lets get this online and free up Shanghai for Australia!

Lets hope so but honestly I would take an SR if it is available before the LR & P. I'll take whatever the first Y is into Australia.
