I see in RHD Model 'S' - importing ? SteveW reports:
Has anyone gone through this process. Any tips or description of that process to share?
I understand the warranty wouldn't cover the car in New Zealand. It seems like the SIM won't work, but you can do something with a 3G wifi dongle.
How have NZ owners found things like servicing? It seems pretty simple per Service plans and something that perhaps a regular automotive service shop could do.
Has anyone needed to do any body work after accidents or dings? Source any replacement parts? How did that go?
For charging it seems like Charging Map | Charge Net NZ is starting to have decent coverage. Any parts of the country you've found too difficult to travel to? Seems like the west coast could get a bit tricky. (Though even petrol guzzlers can need a full tank to make it between stations there).
VERY important update for kiwis interested in bringing a Model S in from Australia. Tesla Australia have a process in place for you to "take delivery" in Australia without registering or paying any Australian taxes. From that point you can ship the car to NZ and just pay NZ GST on arrival.
