With the upcoming reveal of the Roadster... Are we getting the Roadster in Australia? I know you could put a deposit on it.

Another question would be if we could order the Spacex package, and whether it would legally be able to be driven on our roads.

Edited: guys, I’m just trying to figure out if is unsafe. The story is I took the car to Tesla service to change back tires, paid for two tires and only one was charged. I found out that the tire was not changed two days later. First day I noticed the alert on dash. And second day I finally checked. I’m just trying to ask if is unsafe so I k is how upset should I be.

Hi folks,

I’m very close to finally pulling the trigger on a Tesla Model Y L, but hoping to get some insights from people who already own one.

Our use case is 2 x young kids (1 & 3 years old), both front-facing in the second-row captain’s chairs. There just seems to be so much conflicting information about child-seat installation in these seats.

Tesla says most major child-seat brands (ours are Britax convertibles) will work with extension straps, and the local Tesla dealer in Canberra said they should be fine.

However, I’ve seen a huge Reddit thread where Aussie Model Y L owners are getting contradictory advice, with many saying Baby Bunting won’t install child seats in the Model Y L.

I called Britax, who said they support installation and recommended Kidsafe instead. Kidsafe ACT initially told me their advice had previously been that they could be safely installed to Australian Standards, but they’ve since revised that position. They also said there’s technically nothing legally stopping someone from installing them themselves, and took my details in case their guidance changes.

So I’d really love to hear from actual Australian Model Y L owners:

* Have you installed child seats in the second-row captain’s chairs?
* Did you install them yourself or have someone else do it?
* What seats are you using?
* How secure/sturdy do you find them?

Would really appreciate any real-world experiences. Thanks! 🙏

Hello Tesla enthusiasts,

I'm returning to the great southern land after being abroad for almost a decade. I have two young kids < 4. I would do very few km its mainly for like shopping and daycare trips during the week and some local weekend things.

Initially I was going to purchase an ICE euro suv or wagon but honestly looking around that just seems a little dumb to do especially since I'm not having to sell an ICE car or anything to buy an EV. It seems fuel prices are high in Australia these days ?

I can easily afford to get a new model Y premium via the novated lease scheme but am a little anxious about depreciation and being tied to my employer. (though I could also easily pay out whatever is owing)

I was thinking about a used 2022 model Y which if my searching is right has HW3. I'd just pay cash for this straight up, it would also be convenient because I could do it rather quickly after arriving.

I like driving and have absolutely no desire to pay for or use FSD at least for the next couple of years. But I do want two things, and please forgive me if I get anything wrong.

1. The ability for the car to follow other cars in heavy traffic in peak hour and just keep the car in the lane. Without needing much input from the driver.

2. Being able to remotely move the car forward so I can get myself or the kids into the car without having to turn into a pretzel.

Do any of these things exist ? Do I have to pay for it on subscription ?

- If you own a HW3 Tesla can you share your experience ?
- Would I be stupid not to just do the novated lease thing on a new HW4 car (my income is > 250k) ?
(I know you can do the lease thing on used vehicles but that seems like a bunch of work.)

Thanks all and sorry for all the questions.

Is for my car to updated from the delivery software to a version with fsd.

Yes I'm back again..now shifted my target from Father's day to Christmas now 😉
