Australian Model Y Waiting Room

[thecasualplaya]

Anybody get another final invoice email from Tesla? Sick of their price variations etcs. They're honestly the most incompetent company I've ever experienced!

Their business model relies on you needing them to sell you a Tesla, more than they need you to buy one, if that makes sense. Like it's been said here before.. it's like we are supposed to feel lucky that they even allow us to buy their cars!

In all seriousness though, they don't care - they are not a car dealership and the sales assistants don't make any commission. They also know that they will easily offload your cancelled order to someone else in a heartbeat, so there is little incentive providing a good customer experience.

Just my experience anyway.

Might be a newb question but for nrma insurance, whats the difference between:

2024 RWD MY23 and
2023 RWD MY23

The quote price is significantly different

Is there? Which is cheaper?

As far as I'm aware:
2024 MY23 means it's first registered and delivered in '24 but manufactured in '23, thus the Model Year is 23. This is reflected in the VIN. Think of the LA customers getting the ex-GC cargo.

23-23 means that the customer bought a MY23 car and it was delivered and registered in 2023.

Bugger I was really hoping for a romantic delivery date with the wife but it seems the venue is all booked out.

If it helps you feel better, there's a good chance my date will stand me up. This is the second 'date' I've had booked that got postponed...

The first one was built in 2024 and the other in 2023.
The "MY" stands for Model Year. They are exactly the same spec, just built in different years.

If it was built in 2023, it has to be insured as a 2023.

My previous car was a "2014" MY15 car. It was originally purchased in late 2014 but it was the new 2015 model.
Definitely made selling the car a bit confusing as people were asking which year it was.

This confuses me. I thought MY23 refers to the build year and if it is delivered / registered in 2024 it would be the first one i.e. 2024 RWD MY 23. Someone suggested this above. Is this not correct?

It would make sense but it's not the case.
"MY" is Model Year.
For example, I got my GTI Golf in October 2006.
There was a refresh at the time for the upcoming year that my build was part of (shorter rear headrests and silver radio surround) so it was a 2006 MY07.

There has been no spec change and because it's so close at the moment between 2023 and 2024, both builds are a 2023 spec so they are MY23.

You don't insure a car based on when it was first registered.
Insurance is all about risk and how likely there is to be an incident with that specific car.
Currently, there have been more incidents (obviously) with the 2023 built vehicle than the 2024 built vehicle which results in a higher premium.

Have you been allocated a 2023 or 2024 build?

2023. Just received the invoice.

Definitely this.

2024 MY23 means a 2024 build date. 2023 MY23 means 2023 build date. The purchase/registration date doesn’t really come into it.

 

[Bingsta]

Definitely this.

2024 MY23 means a 2024 build date. 2023 MY23 means 2023 build date. The purchase/registration date doesn’t really come into it.

Thanks for the clarification. Sucks if you get a 2023 ex Glovis car and have to pay more for insurance as a result. Very suboptimal...

 

[Winnieblue]

Definitely this.

2024 MY23 means a 2024 build date. 2023 MY23 means 2023 build date. The purchase/registration date doesn’t really come into it.

So if I have a 2024 VIN, how do I distinguish if I have a MY23 or MY24?

 

[Big_brick]

Got it directly from HQ. Thanks for everyone’s input.

Its real! Its worth the wait! Thanks peop for supporting each other thru GC saga. Hope for you guys dont have to wait furthermore.

I'm a bit confused. Our MYLR is said to be on the Lapis Arrow. We are in Brisbane and got an ED between the 3-24 of February. That's seems strange since people in Melbourne and Sydney with car on this boat are getting the cars before Brisbane and have EDD's later than ours. I know they can change our EDD again, but it popped up yesterday after being on TBD for a while. I'm wondering is they are looking at getting one from another shipment? The VIN seems to be same, or at least I can't tell if it changed. Any ideas folks?

 

[p.pommier@gmai]

My MY is on the same boat to Sydney and my delivery window is Feb28-Mar20. Not fair

Our MYLR is on this boat too. We are in Brisbane and our delivery window popped up yesterday between 3-24 of Feb. Very strange.

Congratulations. You look different in the picture

 

[Tony Soprano]

They’re all MY23. There’s no MY24 in Australia yet.

Edit: your final invoice should also have a Model Year field.

 

[texqizit]

It’s getter closer to Port Kembla!

I wonder if Australia will get these updates (HW4 and the new 'Quicksilver' colour (previously exclusive to Berlin))
