My insurance quotes for a Model Y were like $10-15 a month more than my current 10+ year old ICE car. Hardly astronomical.
Yeah ev fud on the insurance
My mazda3 was only like $200 cheaper to insure than new Tesla m3 LR
Tyres are a bit of a 50/50 one tho, I’m at 30k km and maybe starting to see need to replace early/mid 2025 so not a bad run for oem tyres.
Easy to keep pumped up since car tells you the psi
Hilarious but true not to mention all operating savings are compensated by an astronomical insurance and a quicker than usual tyre wearing
just treat it like a high output SUV, heavy but powerful. it's never going to be easy on the tyres.
can't quite compare it with say a yaris or mazda 2
show your calculations
Weight doesn't make as much difference ithan he torque/power pulling away from standstill that really wears the tyes down. You control that and if you can't you can put the car in chill mode that limits the acceleration so it accelerates like at average Petrol engine car. Friend has over 70,000 km on a set of tyres.
I own a Tesla model Y and can confirm you are right lol. Nice car to drive but expensive insurance and yup price dropped by like 13k in about 6 months from memory on a brand new. With insurance though if you shop around at any given time one of them is like much cheaper than others. Was thinking of writing it off as my insurance was on agreed value… lol
Just take the bus and then you never have to worry about car depreciation again. 👍

hahahahahaahahahahahahaa bro!! Hahaha Even my 1 yr old knows that car will depreciate once it's out at showroom.
So when is the new Juniper Model Y being released?
I’d guesstimate by time they take orders here for it March/April with deliveries mid year.
Itll prob depend on who orders most country wise where they ship out first
Sometime next year… I opted to pull the trigger on a new one this year anyway as I know the factory line is now mature so they are cranking out more stable cars. Tesla seem to have a bad habit of early releases being unstable with poor QA so I'm now firmly out of the early adopter cohort and happy as a laggard :)
I ordered a car last week with the $300 referral bonus…I wonder if they’ll change it for me? Or I’ll have to cancel and re-order
i did the same, depends if you have received your final invoice yet. I am waiting on mine and will reply with this to see if i can get it amended.
Wonder if there is an option to cancel for free at all?
even if you cancel and lose the $400 deposit, you still end up better off with this new deal too
Just had a long call with the Tesla manager - He listened and then said nothing he can do. zero. The solution he said is cancel - loose the 400 and reorder. Still worth it but i am too far down the track to start again as i am leasing the car. You still save $1050.
Got the same response. I’m going down the novated lease path also, but haven’t received a firm delivery date yet so am considering cancelling and re-ordering. The NL company are fine with that.
@aandrew: I am at the end of the Novated Lease process - I cant really pull out. If i were you, I would be starting again.
If you're leasing the car and get it before 20th Dec then you should get the $3000 deal on top of your $350 referral. Still better than what is on offer here.
How will this work with a novated lease?
I just called my leasing person and he said to wait for the final invoice and they should be able to amend it. It comes off the final cost of the vehicle.
The "Tesla Invoice" is what you need to send your leasing company. This invoice does include the referral bonus:
Autopilot Included
Delivery Fee $1,400
Order Fee $400
Price Adjustment ($6,250)
Referral Bonus ($350)
My "Order Agreement" has the $350 but I haven't yet received my invoice to send to the leasing company. Apparently I should expect it any moment.
He told you that? Final invoice will have the higher referral discount? I just picked delivery date today. Still no final invoice yet
Edit: Tesla chat said will be whatever the referral amount is when first signing up.
@Frozensage: he said it might but the chat also said the same thing to me that I will only get the $350. I am not up to the delivery date stage yet. They did try to call me about it though and left me a VM. Playing phone tag at the moment and hoping I can get it sorted today. I think it is just a bit rich changing it drastically while my order technically hasn't been finalised. If I had the car now I wouldn't be chasing.
Curious as to what your price adjustment of $6,250 relates to, if you can confirm please?
Thats the discount for a demo. Thought long and hard about a demo vs new. In the end i got a cherry red Long Range with White interior and 19" wheels (which i love the look of) with 5000klm and 9 months rego.
@onemesh: Thanks for sharing!
I agree that it’s a smart move and worth the saving. It’s not like a traditional car where you would worry about the engine warming up etc.
I hired one recently with over 30,000km and it was like new, and rentals are never cared for! To me reinforces that demo on EV is a really great value purchase with no downsides
Who did you end up using for the Novated lease? I’m looking around at the moment and trying to get a short list together.
My company only has leaselab as a NL provider so no other choice for me .
I’ve also heard good things about novatedleaseAustralia here
Company use SG Fleet - i didnt have a choice. Tesla told me they are good but slow.
Sg vs novatedlease Australia. Sg has terrible interface like I’m back in the 90s. Also used smart back in the days. Processing claims are very fast.
I have done a google search as well as checked the Tesla AUS site - cant see this offer apart from on OZ Bargain. Can we please confirm this is true for AUS. Thanks……
It's true. Click on the referral link and you can see it there. Just make sure you change the country to AU just in case it shows USA.
thank you……
can not play with Tesla , they dropped to 350 then back to 1400.
I literally lost $1575 …..
i got the 1400 bonus, then they dropped the car by 10k XD
I got no bonus, then they dropped the car price by 15k
I received 7 referrals at only 175 dollars each…. tough luck especially when Tesla chops and changes its referral systems every few weeks. :(
I sent you mine! But I imagine you’ve hit the 10 limit
Haha thank you so much! I got 7 so far so 3 more slots for the higher referrer awards this calendar year :P
I`m waiting for the 0% interest deal financing like in the U.S.
LoL
Not knowing how big a deal the Juniper changes will be is the thing. If it's just rearranging the lights, although it'll make the current pigs ear into more of a silk purse (I don't think the current front is particularly pretty), it's not worth paying the inevitable price increase just for that, but if it has new tech or features that might be.
I can't bring myself to buy an MG4, although my head tells me it's a more sensible choice (for me). I just don't like being reliant on a dealership for everything (servicing and OS updates), particularly one that hasn't made a lot on the deal, when I like to DIY.
I'd really like a Tesla in the form of the MG4 (maybe a hatch based on the 3), but they're dragging their heels on that as they know it won't make them as much money. I wouldn't mind a 3, but I hate the lousy boot access.
Even though $60k odd isn't outrageous for a Y, it's going to lose so much value when the Juniper comes out.
Oh and if they could edge EM out the door so the cars aren't so much associated with his billionaire-ness… just makes the cars a target for luddites.
Just test drive a model 3 highland to see if you can get used to stalks less. NVH is definitely better .
Yes, that’s one thing you’d hope they don’t do with the Juniper, but they seem to have decided we don’t need stalks. What they should do is make the centre hub of the steering wheel static (like my Citroen c5) so the buttons are always where you expect them (if they insist on stalkless).
At least stalks basically only come in two choices in most cars - swapping sides, initially annoying but always there. If other manufacturers decide it's a smart ($-saving?) idea to use buttons for blinkers, wipers, washer, headlights, etc., I doubt they'll decide on some standard array, and certainly not one initiated by Tesla.
I just referred someone last week for $175 credit. They haven't received the vehicle so haven't received the credits yet. Any chance I get upgraded?
Edit: asked on chat, they said no. So my referee can just cancel their order, re-order it with the new referral, still pay less and I get my upgraded credits. Seems dumb on Tesla's behalf.
if there is already invoice issued and paid then no chance .
Not paid until delivery is booked.
Not bad. Lost 400 but get 1500 back.
On Tesla's referral page, they also note that the car has to be delivered before 31/12/24 to qualify for the 1400 dollars.
https://www.tesla.com/en_au/support/refer-and-earn
Not sure what their current delivery timeframe is, but if someone cancels their current 350-discount order and go for the 1400-discount new order, there's a small chance that you lose out on that 1400-dollar discount if your car end up being delivered much later.
3 questions please, do I (the buyer) receive the $1400 off, and my friend who’s link I use receives the $700, or is it the other way around?
Second, would this deal stack with the $3000 discount for novated leasing which expires at the end of this year?
And when I lock in a novated lease for a model Y, do I purchase the car directly from Tesla and send the invoice to the NL provider or does the NL provider do this on my behalf?
Correct you get 1400, your mate gets 700.
Yes you can stack with novated lease offer.
You purchase car/deposit from Tesla and then hand off to NL company.
Awesome, thanks!
So I just complete the purchase online using my mates referral link, pay the $400 deposit, the $1400 and $3000 is taken off the price when the NL company pays the remaining balance of the car with no GST?
Sorry if this does not make sense still new to this and I received a quote from SG fleet but this was before all these rebates etc so not sure how this works now.
The 1400 dollars is taken off already at your order page and initial invoice (if you used the referral link correctly).
The 3000 dollar discount (specific for novated lease) will come when you are settling the payment via your NL company.
Note that 3000 is applied to the vehicle's "subtotal" cost, and as stamp duty is calculated from the vehicle subtotal, you will ALSO save on stamp duty making the saving slightly more than 3000 dollars on the driveway cost. Looking through various stamp duty formulae, ACT will save nothing since they already have zero stamp duty for EV, while the other states will save around 100 - 200 dollars on stamp duty. Therefore those states will have 3100-3200 lower driveaway price tag.
Just to add it's tesla credit your friend get ($700 worth), it's not cash.
Happy to give them cash in exchange for them to buy me a chargwr
Plenty of people use the money to buy a charger and then sell it on Marketplace or something. That's how you "convert" it to cash.
Looks like they have very limited colours at least for model y existing stock. Maybe I’ll just sit on the current order. Don’t wanna miss out on the $3k NL bonus
Which one to get? The cheapest base model (RWD)? Is it worth upgrade?
I got the base RWD. I couldn't justify the price increase for the extra KMs the long range provided.
After the test drive I felt the RWD was quick enough, I have come from a ute though.
You'll be able to make a decision once you see and drive them.
Delivery day tomorrow for my Model Y, with a novated lease so I did get $3350 off with the referral I used.
Would have been nice to get the extra $1050 off but not going to complain as some other I know didn't get the $3k off with NL.
I've popped my referral code in the top link, never had one before so hopefully can get lucky and earn some Tesla credits.
Can I buy a another Tesla using my own code and get both the discount and the credit? Genuine question.
You'll get $1400 off the purchase price

Dammit, missed out on this by a week and only got the $350. Should have HODL'ed
Why are you ordering via the rep anyway? Use your friend's link and complete the purchasing process. When you use the link it will show you that you've used a referral.
This has been a great deal - thank you! Picking up my M3 Perf next week with a NL discount + the referral! Thanks Op!
Thanks to the 8 people who have used my referal code. I know its randomised but shows this campaign has done well.
Lucky you :)
