    this is temping on a novated lease Model Y L

    • +2

      I was thinking the same…

      • anyone ordered one to see what the wait time is on these?

        • From May 2026 onwards

    • -1

      Same here but looks like a long waiting time!

      • -1

        Its a long vehicle… so you know

    • +1

      Get in, while the benefits are still there, however, there is talk of the per-km charge that all EV drivers will need to pay.

      • +3

        yeah thats not going to fly simply because there isn't that many people that own EV's if there was then maybe but they will make very little money if they did it now, and it would slow adoption as well of EV's so they shoot themselves in the foot too.

        • What are you replying / referring to ?

          The FBT exemption or the EV per-km "levy" ?

          • +2

            @whyisave: They are looking at removing or reducing the FBT exemption for novated EV leases atm with any announcement for the next budget in May. Basically, if they remove the FBT exemption then there is absolutely no point having a novated lease for any vehicle. There is also talk about the EV per-km as well so its a double wammy.

            • @JsMIT: I already knew about the FBT exemption being scrutinised/removed.
              I said this, but I was seeking a clarification to my reply, ie.was that person replying to the FBT aspect or the per-km charge aspect?

            • +1

              @JsMIT: Wow. I've been putting off replacing my old car but if the FBT exemption may end, I'm better off locking in something now before then. You would think they would continue with the EV exemption to reduce our exposure to imported petrol.

              • +1

                @ialam99: It won't end, maybe they will reduce the max price which is currently set at 91k but I highly doubt they will completely can the FBT exemption.

      • +4

        Too much push back for just EV per km road use charge. It’s all vehicles. Plus car registration is for payment of roads and maintenance. Petrol excise goes to general funding.

        • +1

          You are right.
          It's all vehicles.
          I didn't know this.

          https://www.nsw.gov.au/driving-boating-and-transport/nsw-gov…

          A fair and sustainable road user charge

          A future distance-based road user charge will ensure all drivers are paying for their share of road use – regardless of the type of vehicle they drive.

          A road user charge will apply to eligible EVs from 1 July 2027 or when EVs make up 30 per cent of all new vehicle sales, whichever comes first.

          Plug-in hybrid EVs will be charged a fixed 80 per cent proportion of the full road user charge to reflect their vehicle type.

          The road user charge rate is indexed to consumer price index each financial year.

          The road user charge rate for the 2025-26 financial year will be:

          • 2.974 cents per kilometre for a battery EV or hydrogen fuel cell EV
          • 2.379 cents per kilometre for a plug-in hybrid EV

            @whyisave: So if I drive to Melbourne from sydney I have to pay $30?? Wtf plus tolls plus rego plus insurance plus ctp mate just whack on another charge for breathing

            • +7

              @BusMan247: That's what we get for having to give endless handouts to everyone who doesn't lift a finger and useless politicians who piss our money away

              • +1

                @Lt Frank Drebin: It's what we get for voting harder and harder every election.
                Next election, we will need to vote our hardest.

            • @BusMan247:

              So if I drive to Melbourne from sydney I have to pay $30?

              If you were to do that in your ICE car you'd use about 60 litres of petrol which would incur about $30 in fuel excise. So it's about the same cost.

          • +6

            @whyisave: Except the road user charge decision in Victoria was overruled by the High Court. It will need to be a federal scheme to go ahead.

            https://www.hcourt.gov.au/cases-and-judgments/cases/decided/…

          • +1

            @whyisave: This is out-of-date info. The High Court already ruled this unconstitutional after Victoria tried it as only the Federal gov an impose such a tax, not States (Petrol excise is federal tax).

            • @1st-Amendment: I was replying to someone else.

              However, at the bottom (ie. footnote) of that link which I posted, it does state the VIC case, so this was already known.

              It's just that I did not know the NSW State Government was trying to also impose this levy on non-EV cars.

              Keyword: trying.

        • thats not true. Vast majority of car registration is third party body insurance. Most of The rest is cost of managing the registration system. Very little goes into roads and maintenance.

          Road tax (on fuel) is to contribute to the maintenance of the roads. Its decoupled from the line item by going into general revenue but its still going in there and road funding is coming out of the same general revenue.

        • But the odometer doesn't work in my FC Holden. How will they tell how far I have travelled?

    • +4

      If anyone has access to a NL and is looking at buying a car and isn't buying an EV really needs to do some research

    • +3

      It's not a bad middle ground but Tesla stuffed up. If they kept it as a 7 seater then this would fly out of the parking lots as it would be the most popular 7 seater EV there is given that it could have been the cheapest fully EV one on the market.

    • +1

      Consider electric vehicles tend to depreciate faster than many traditional cars. The problem ties back to the mismatch between the lease’s predefined residual value and the car’s actual market value at lease end.

    • Can someone had done the novated lease for Tesla share your review? I got some quote for novated lease with this new model L but with the high interest rate they charge (about 10%!) and all the brokerage fee, it ended up quite high after the 5 years including the residual amount. I think after 5 years total cost is $117k for this model. Thanks.

      • I've just been quoted for the RWD model Y. Total net cost over 4 years including final payment works out about the same as paying in cash today, but also includes 4 years of rego and insurance. Great deal.

        • +41

          TLDR: he is admin of Tesla owners Australia Facebook group, his car breaks down, he then posts about 4 times about it being picked up by a tow truck,

          he then immediately creates a go fund me trying to raise $$$ for a new battery pack, after a week or so it’s determined it only needed a repair which was under $1000? Keep in mind this car is used for his RIDESHARE business

          If you commented on his post anything not positive then you got banned for 30 days (I did)

          Instead of refunding people’s money, he “donated” it to a charity

          People have speculated that he will use this donation and the car repair invoice as a tax deduction, since he uses the car for his business (ride share) effectively making him a tidy profit off the go fund me donations

          That’s my opinion of what happened

          • +2

            @Brick50: That's wild. Hope he metaphorically gets hit some balancing karma.

          • +2

            @Brick50: Tbf - the 100k members of that facebook page aren't really members of a community facebook page. The 100k members are his personal followers, since he is a god influencer.

            • +4

              @mandelbrot: Yes that’s true, all the members are there for him and his selfies and not for posts about Tesla cars 😂

              I think he does truly believe that the page followers are following it because of him unfortunately

              • @Brick50: Other influencers got a car to test drive under embargo conditions. I don’t believe the influencer in question did.

                • +1

                  @maplesyrup: He’s not an influencer. And no he had to go to a showroom in Brisbane to see it today. Then posted close to 20 posts about it on his Facebook group.

          • +3

            @Brick50: He later admitted to banning like 100’s of people from the forum and deleting almost a thousand comments.

            • +6

              @Brick Tamland: And won't step down as admin even after all these wrongs and bringing bad news stories to the Tesla community.

              • -1

                @unco: Those aren't wrongs. Well, they are wrongs for everyone else. But not for him. Cos he's done so much for the Tesla community. And he's an influencer. So the GoFundMe was his reward.

                • +4

                  @mandelbrot: Oh wait, gofundme's are allowed now. But you need to have driven your car over 200,000km and fill out a form and get his approval.
                  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWYQXoMETdrbKw_0vC…

                • @mandelbrot: He never said it was for his reward of being an influencer, he said it was for repairing his battery that could have costed a lot of money.

                  • +2

                    @Brick Tamland: When people said he should take down the gofundme and it was against the rules of the fb page, he said he had given so much to the tesla community by starting and administrating the fb page, so he deserved it.

                    • @mandelbrot: Would people still have contributed if it was simply a reward for administration of a FB page?

              • +3

                @unco: It was quite the train wreck.

          • @Brick50: He also only ended up donating to charity after the heap of criticism he received.

            Initially he intended very much to keep all the gofundme $$$ and doubled down on how people didn't have to donate but chose to (regardless of false pretense or not for costly repairs) therefore it was his right to retain funds lol

  • It's already fun trying to fit in adults on pseudo 7 seat cars. This looks fun on a whole new level.

    I can imagine cyber truck trunk sensors fitted on these, but instead of breaking carrots and fingers, it's rear passenger heads.

    Probably sell alot of these though since it's the cheapest 6 seater on the market.

    Need china to flood the market with 7 seater bevs, not paying six figures just to get an extra 2 seats.

    • -5

      This one does not fit adults in the 3rd row at all. Sloped roofline + zero knee room = kids third row. Not really different to the original rear facing seats, not fit for purpose.

                          @JimmyF: This little pissing match isn't much fun to specatate. Let's just cut to the chase:

                          From the Model Y owner's manual:

                          The roof, windshields, and windows in Model Y are excellent at protecting you from UV (ultraviolet) rays. The glass components score less than 2 on the UV Index scale. Review your region’s UV Index specifications for more information.

                          https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/modely/en_us/GUID-B4E78C9…

                          There's plenty of evidence that appropriately tinted glass, particularly laminated glass as used in all current Tesla models, can remove 99% of UV from full sunlight - so this seems like a reasonable claim to make.

                          The Cancer Council recommends using sun protection when UV index is more than 2.
                          https://www.cancer.org.au/cancer-information/causes-and-prev…

                          Long story short: I'm with Jimmy on this one. And since I own a Tesla with a glass roof and have driven for hours during summer without sun protection, my own personal experience gels with Tesla's claim.

                          Having said that, we have an aftermarket roof liner for our Tesla's roof - not because of sunburn concerns, but because when the car is parked in the sun during summer, it gets crazy hot inside - the roof liner does a good job of reducing interior temperatures under those circumstances. It stays fitted for about 7 months of each year.

                            The big miss, however, is the apparent lack of any UV tinting on the rear glass, unlike the panes above the other two rows of seats. On a 40-degree Australian summer’s day, we anticipate passengers in the rear-most seats will need to wear a hat. It’s a surprising omission, given the rear glass is new for the Model Y L.

                            Guess the specific car we're talking about doesn't have it.

                            That's cute, all that says it depends on the type of glass used. So what glass does Tesla use? Do they apply a UV/tint to the glass?

                            I mean pencil eaters like you should know the answer to this before you post wild claims saying otherwise.

          Fair call, it was a cheap comment that sounded funny in my mind. Ad hominem.

          I just find it funny that people get so emotional about Tesla (Your language was highly emotive)… this comes across as both political and irrational to me. Subjectively, I think they some of the best looking cars on the road and I believe the company has have done really good things for the car industry.

            @The Wololo Wombat: All EV’s look plain and ugly to me. No brand specifically

            They are too minimalist with a large tablet plonked in the middle of the dash

            Probably my bias as I prefer ICE vehicles as I am a car enthusiast who grew up loving the sound of a roaring engine

            • +1

              @Dollar General:

              All EV’s look plain and ugly to me. No brand specifically

              There are probably a bunch of EVs that you don't realise are EVs. Some of them have both EV and ICE versions of the same car that look virtually identical.

              But in terms of exterior differences, the main changes in appearance are usually made for aerodynamic reasons. The most obvious change is the lack of a large grille at the front - EVs don't need much cooling and an open grille is bad for aerodynamics, so it's usually eliminated. The other obvious change is the wheels - again, the brakes don't need ventilation as they are largely replaced by regenerative braking, and the openings are covered over for improved aerodynamic efficiency.

              They are too minimalist with a large tablet plonked in the middle of the dash

              Not all EVs are like this…and quite a few ICE vehicles are also heading this way to some extent. It's part trend, and part cost saving - a single screen is cheaper than lots of buttons and knobs.

              Personally, I really like the clean minimalist style, but it can be taken too far. A few knobs for convenient control of climate etc is good.

              I am a car enthusiast who grew up loving the sound of a roaring engine

              Me too, but it's more of a psychological thing. We have learned to associate those loud noises, smells and vibration with power and performance, and there's a certain drama to it. But EVs produce that power and performance without all the fuss and noise, and I can't say I miss it much. I will always love the burble of a V8, but not the fuel bill or the maintenance.

      The Falcon XC ('78) and the EB GLi (90s) wagons had third rows. Just enough for 2 kids facing the back. Similar to the Mercedes E class wagons.

    • I had no idea there was a six-seater AU. Just a bench seat across the front? It's super hard to find any details on these.

        It was a 2001 series 2 ex-taxi sedan with a folding 3rd centre seat in the front and column shift. Just ticked over 1mil km in 2009

    • I had an 1971 HQ Holden with bench seat that would easily fit 6 adults, 3 in the front, 3 in the back.
      I did have 64 Holden EH also with a bench seat, but being a narrower body it wasn't so comfortable stacking 3 adults wide.

      • The rear passenger space in the HQ was a joke. In particular the legroom.

    So, it's just like a 7 seater SUV but Tesla removed 1 seat to make it 6. Nice one Tesla.

    • Probably because it's the only way to get in the back lmao, unless they make the rear backrests fold 180 degrees and you enter from the trunk
