Starting July 7, 2023, if your friend orders a new Model Y using your referral link:

  • Referee receives A$750 off the purchase price and 90 days of Enhanced Autopilot.
  • Referrer receives 10,000 referral credits.

If you own (or have previously owned) a qualifying product, and you subsequently purchase an additional qualifying product with the same Tesla Account, you may also qualify for the cash awards and benefits listed above.

If an existing owner attempts to order through a referral link (whether their own or a friend’s), they will not qualify for referral credits, because the buyer is already part of the Tesla community. Instead, the owner automatically earns the buyer cash awards and exclusive referral benefits associated with the purchased product.

Updated as new Model 3 is no longer included

      I like driving.. I have manual, performance cars… it seems most of ozbargain is trying to work out how to 'not' drive at all costs. I just don't get it.

        Because it a chore to drive sometimes. Imagine you work the graveyard shift and have to work somewhere far to your house. You are red eye dead tired because you have responsibility as a parent, for the safety of yourself and others you have a need for this feature.

        Because in Australia over 1,000 people a year die in car in accidents (in the US it's over 40,000). Human's aren't great at driving - we get distracted, can only look one way at a time, and our cars can't talk to other cars and traffic devices. The sooner we get humans out of cars and let computers run it the better. Then you can really start to enjoy your manual performance cars - on a track or somewhere purpose built for fun. Even now, does a 110kmh speed limit really allow for a lot of fun?

          its because Mortal Krumpet goes out of their way to show that they have no ability to empathise. Not everyone likes 'manual performance cars' and if MK had to drive a long commute in traffic daily they'd also want to sell their manual car for something that can drive itself.

        I enjoy driving too. Manual is much more fun, auto is nice for casual stuff or more "commute" driving/heavier traffic.

        I'd like to have a self driving system - as an option, not for every drive. Similarly I'd like to be able to have a manual (with clutch) that can switch to an auto in traffic.

        If it were 100% self driving, I think I'd miss driving myself - I realise I miss it when I get back from a long holiday and finally drive myself again.

    How reliable is the auto pilot at night and in bad weather? It kinda freaks me out they only rely on cameras and no sensors.

    • maxwellian on 07/07/2023 - 13:13
      +2

      Having had access to EAP over the holiday/new year break last year I got to experience it enough to know I don't need to buy it. But Night didn't seem to pose too much trouble, even on unlit roads, the cameras had some funky sensors that make them more suited to CV rather than a pretty picture for humans. However, heavy rain (or a well placed dead bug/bird poo) will cause the driving assists to be disabled.

      Under no circumstance would I ever want to take my eyes off the road/take a nap with this driving. All that EAP does is change lanes for you and poorly self-park some times, the standard Auto Pilot is enough for most users.

    • hybridx on 07/07/2023 - 13:14

      Its sh*t in bad weather.
      It can't cope at 110 and will first reduce the speed to 80 then cancel entirely.
      Ever since they got rid of radar its been bad.

      I’ve never had autopilot disengage in night. It’s worked flawlessly. In very very very heavy rain it has disengaged only 1-2 times in like 2.5 years of driving. It has been solid. FSD however has nearly driven me off the road on one occasion which was enough to put me off FSD for a while.

      The onslaught hey? That onslaught has been coming for the last three or four years, still not here.

      Tesla is ramping up production at a furious rate, it often prices cars according to demand. Tesla has a huge profit margin so can easily afford this, legacy automakers can’t.

      Legacy automakers vary prices all the time. Look at the “offers” and special deals that used to proliferate. Now most car makers are having trouble with production due to supply chain issues. Not Tesla.

      The smarties, tech enthusiasts and early adopters are also waiting for the Highland cars which are still months away,

          Maybe but production is increasing rapidly and the cars are being sold.

    • Herbse on 07/07/2023 - 13:50

      I've been following this and imo It has been a scam since its launch. It's impressive yes but no where close to being "full self driving" and claims to be in "beta" as an ongoing marketing tool to make potential owners feel like one day they will get a fsd car.

      The fact that Elon wants to move away from radar/lidar and only rely on cameras alone, which are inaccurate in many situations including when rain, dirt, direct sunshine etc are involved, is proof that his aim is cost cutting and marketing and not real innovation towards a usable self driving vehicle.

      You're correct that the current cameras on the cars being sold are outdated and poor quality. Easy to see in their dashcam footage. Updating the hardware would mean either developing software for two different technologies or abandoning old models and piss off thousands of people who "invested" in their FSD package and also spending more money on better tech. Both of which eats into profits and goes against their sales models.

      • zintill on 07/07/2023 - 19:09

        The hardware has already been updated with HW4 this year? With higher resolution cameras and processing power.

    • ky1975 on 07/07/2023 - 14:15

      I wouldn't even consider becoming a beta tester for Full Self-Driving even if there were financial compensation offered.

      Upgrading infrastructure to support FSD capabilities will take years.
      Implementing the necessary changes to roadways, signage, communication systems, and other infrastructure elements
      can take a considerable amount of time. I cant see FSD is fully embraced anytime in the near future, probably not even in my lifetime lol.

      • zintill on 07/07/2023 - 19:16

        Upgrading infrastructure for Full Self-Driving (FSD) does not require massive changes. Tesla’s FSD technology is designed to work with existing roadways and infrastructure. It relies primarily on onboard sensors, cameras, and advanced neural networks to interpret the road environment, minimizing the need for extensive infrastructure modifications.

        Tesla’s FSD system is continually improving through the use of neural networks. These networks learn from vast amounts of real-world driving data, allowing the system to refine its capabilities over time. This iterative learning process enhances the performance of FSD without relying on significant infrastructure changes.

    • aj3000 on 08/07/2023 - 08:36

      "FSD" is fine with HW3 and doesn't rely too much on the new higher resolution cameras. The problem with Tesla's vision-only approach is that human intervention will be required when cameras get blinded by sun, dirt or heavy rain. Even the Cruise and Waymo cars in SF frequently require human intervention by remote operators.
      It is possible that this is all "FSD" can do. Which means it works well in 99.9% of all driving situations. There will be that 0.1% that always require human intervention.

      Robotaxi versions in the future may have options for remote interventions and probably some additional cameras as well.

The app functionally is so well done, we’ve used mobile servicing and it was excellent, the superchargers are great. Just the overall package and sheer amount of storage for us is what does it.

                @WhatWouldBiggieDo: Why not take a test drive and see how it feels like. I own it and it is one of the best car to drive. There few things I hope they improve on. Like ventilated seats, better quality cabin design, door handles. Again I still like it.

                  @ace310: Thanks mate. I've test driven one and was very impressed but was interested more in the long-term ownerships experience. I think i'm sold.

                    @WhatWouldBiggieDo: Enjoying it for around 8+ months and no issues. Long trips are so much fun and with eap so much relaxing. Yes you do have to plan it a bit but get used to it.

                    @WhatWouldBiggieDo: Coming up to a year with the model Y (just received my rego renewal which is coming up in 6 weeks). Have had no issues with the car thus far. If there's anything in particular you wanted to find out ask away.

    Preparing pop corn to see Elon's world implode with more EV and Twitter competition. And they say go woke, go broke… Haha

      Elon is trying the exact opposite of "woke" with twitter. He wants to make it the bastion of "free speech" aka "I can say anything I want but you can't"

    How much are referral credits worth?

      8,000 credits gets you a Gen 3 wall charger worth $750. So around 10c a credit.

  • vorsprung on 07/07/2023 - 14:14

    Does anyone know when Telsa issue the credits to the referrer?
    After the referee places their order, or after they take delivery?

    • choofa on 07/07/2023 - 14:16

      after delivery

      • vorsprung on 07/07/2023 - 17:25

        Thank you. I assumed so, thought I’d check.
