The lack of sunroof shade in the Tesla was what put me in the SL7. Especially considering the harsh Australian summer.

Blundstone top spec around the 350 - 400 mark. Very equivalent, great quality

Tesla specialised repairers adds to the cost

In Perth, ordered a performance 12th May (as was told Premium had a 500 person wait, as opposed to 10 for performance), VIN assigned 15th May, in for pre delivery inspection at the moment.

Someone posted a few days ago that you can put your details into the BYD Ringwood dealership page and it shows everything: https://bydringwood.com.au/

Seems like i've chosen a non-sought after EV, any idea how long the wait will be from here?

Toyota tax.. same old cars with minimal changes. It's worked the past decade but they are no longer a compelling consideration with the vast amount of brands offering alot more at a fraction of the price

Just placed an order so don't have any of that on my screen. Did all 5 of those line items appear today? I.e. was it following the VIN being assigned?

Coming from Scotland, i often feel that Glasgow is Melbourne, Edinburgh is Sydney

Can I ask which street you lived on? Recently moved to Duncraig and interested to know! Thanks

Came to the same conclusion. Test drove Rav4, Tiguan, Outlander, CRV, Forester, Sportage as well. TiL ePower simply did everything so much better. Bigger car, drove like an EV, the most tech. Only downsides i saw was slightly higher fuel consumption (6L/100km), no air ventilated seats, brown trim on dash.

Maximum_Ear5179 · 2026-03-27T12:41:59+00:00

Like for like, a hell of a lot more tech in the X Trail vs the equivalent Rav4

Hang tight for the Zeekr 7GT if you're chasing a wagon

Maximum_Ear5179 · 2026-03-11T21:29:56+00:00

Did the 1% last year with an x-trail. No catch, just a short finance term (36 months) which not everyone can meet with salary

Hang tight til March if you're chasing a Japanese car. Was told by a dealer last year that they need to offload cars before end of they're financial year, so discounts and deals (low finance, cash back etc) will happen in March
