No stock. Pushed out to 12 month wait times now. Shanghai in lockdown didn't help getting stock out. They will always go up and down given Shanghai's priority will be China vs our tiny outpost.

Got one as a loan car last month when the Mustang was getting checked. I asked for it to see what it was like to drive. Was a lot of fun to drive and very comfortable. Congrats on the purchase.

Only one sprouting garbage here is you. We all knew that the numbers were going to drop in April. I even said it would. They didn't get any ships across. Shanghai is in lockdown with no boats leaving there for Tesla. The 52 were leftovers from the March shipment that didn't get sold by the end of the month. We won't get much shipment till Q3 given they are selling all the units to the local population in China (they made over 300,000 cars for Q1) due to the reduced capacity of Shanghai. Think they are only at 80% now after the full shutdown.

Even if they added all the numbers (which they didn't), its still 4000+ units. This is 52. Maybe use a calculator if it help you understand numbers better.

We have the Red one in an ST-Line V with the glass roof, wife just loves it. It’s a really nice “nippy” little car.

Just an enthusiast who knows a few people who work there. A few of us campaigned Tesla really hard so that they would release numbers to Vfacts. That was a good win. I share here what I know without breaching my NDAs for anyone who is interested.

Interesting thing. It's supposed to be $30 cheaper but for some stupid reason, my Model S was left out of the NSW list of EVs! Every other Tesla model is listed Bar my one! Go figure! I raised it with them but I'm not going to lose sleep over $30 in the scheme of things. Rego cost in NSW is by weight and the GTF, Mustang and Teslas all are the same price though the model 3's get the $30 discount.

Which is exactly what I said last month, that the 3000 odd sold was 3 months worth. Yet apparently I was completely wrong and should apologise


You just proved the point genius

It wasn't. For the last time, it was 3000 odd for March but 4000 odd for YTD. I even said they didn't do that but you skipped that bit.

I guess you have a mental block that you just can't get past. Its ok, its why I live the life I do whilst you live the one you do.

Lol. You don't even know who I am. Or is it like last time where you reckon I was someone you knew and it turned out you were completely wrong? You're good at that.

You think you're better than everyone else though, even though you can't add 1+1+1.

Insecure much?

Anyway, I was saying that I'm open to EVs and new technology. I don't bag something out without knowing and I'm not stuck in the mud with my opinions. You on the other hand, are stuck in what you think to be true and aren't open to any thoughts other than your own. Plenty of times I've posted up when I've got something wrong, you never have.

So yeah, I know enough to suggest you live a very different life to what I live.

Guys please, if theres going to be a **** fight in the Vfacts threads then its widely regarded that it'll be due to something I've said...

Now, I see that Ford only just managed to outsell MG and the gap is closing fast, with next gen Ranger being delayed how long until they fall from the top 10 as Holden did when its cash cow commodore fell off the charts, im going with Vfacts July 2022.

Come at me bitches..

OK gentlemen (and I use that term loosely ).

Let's not turn this into a Bossxr8 and kypez show. You both have strong opinions and we all respect that. What none of use want to do is waste our time logging on and read you both having pot shots at each other.

These threads have more drama than MAFS, its a vibe and I'm here for it

The current model Focus (SA) is an absolute ripper car, have they been discontinued? I think maybe it was just too pricey for people to get around it in numbers, you hardly see any on the road around Melbourne.

I can confirm the correct use of the terms 'Gentlemen' and 'loosely' as I've heard them both pass wind...

But thats OT.

Only model sold here now is the ST and that's been delayed as Ford Aust chose to hold back builds until they could definitely install the larger main screen whereas I think Ford UK decided to go with the small screen and accept builds now. I think Ukraine is a supplier of components for the screens or maybe looms....can't remember.

Yes the SA Titanium Focus my daughter has is just fantastic...sounds great, the 3 cylinder has a bit of a growl under throttle and its fully kitted out and well built. I was surprised the cross traffic alert picked up a car coming down the small hill of our street from behind my Vito parked partially on the nature strip. Only complaint is it's too low for my stuffed knees.
