The sharpest price drop to ever see the Model 3 Highland - and the second lowest price point for all Model 3 RWD / SR+

The Long Range Model 3 has also seen a $3000 price drop. Keep in mind that the Ludicrous version is rumoured to be announced very soon.
Model 3 Performance has been launched in the United States - boasting a 2.9s 0-60mph acceleration time, and is expected to be orderable in Australia later today.

Prices above exclude on-road costs (varying per state).

Drive-away prices are as follows for the RWD:

ACT: $61,339
NSW: $63,992
NT: $63,270
QLD: $56,674 (w/ Queensland Gov. EV Rebate)
SA: $64,017

              @R4: It's appears your belief is based on some ideology of your own making not on "fact" but surely you can list a few broad areas you think are over-regulated and why they're significant impediments to your personal freedom? We can then respond and agree to disagree.

              I have no evidence either way but I'd be gobsmacked if your claim that "most people (In Australia at least) like government controlling their lives as much as possible" is even in the ballpark. While I can't be sure, I suspect most Australians like enough order in their lives to allow them to live as freely as can be reasonably expected in a diverse society. I'd also suggest (hope) that most still believe in the greater good.

              Living in any society requires co-operation and at times significant compromise. The alternative is basically individualistic or highly fragmented chaos - the sort of nonsense sprouted by "sovereign citizens" for example. Every ordered, free society has flaws. In comparison to most ours seems relatively easy going, although I can't speak for the marginalised, vilified or those who are routinely subject to prejudice.

            @poxy001: Simplistic twaddle. Where does "free speech" finish in your simplistic world, or are you seriously suggesting "speech" should be open slather? Do you have any idea on the effects of unfettered social media on gullible, anti-social people? How about kids? Rhetorical question. Oblivious to the obvious, or just don't give a fig?

            Here's a quick summary of what our own security and policing chiefs will say at the NPC today. Unlikely you'll read it so I'll copy just a couple of pars:
            https://www.ulladullatimes.com.au/story/8603417/asio-boss-af…

            "Social media companies are refusing to snuff out the social combustion on their platforms. Instead of putting out the embers on their platforms, their indifference and defiance is pouring accelerant on the flames," he will say in the speech. "If we consider the disinformation and misinformation from two shocking incidents in Sydney this month, and how that social combustion was propagated throughout the world, we see the consequences of that indifference and defiance."

      It's not so much about this isolated incident, it's about some moron in government (who someday won't be on the side you support!) deciding what we should / shouldn't get through social media. It's a slippery slope my friend, Musk is doing a great thing in pushing back.
      Plus, turn on channel 7 news if you can't decide for yourself what's truth and what isn't, and need it filtered for you. No one is forcing you to use 'X'.

      • Igaf on 23/04/2024 - 14:48

        So the premise is that unfettered social media does no harm and should have no restrictions whatsoever? Lol, the far king ignorance on this site is astonishing at times.

          Oh, the strawman argument already? Personal and parental responsibility is a part of this too, of course. Are we so simple that we need an elected official to decide what we should and shouldn't consume though?
          Being an upstanding, morally righteous left leaning individual, would you like a staunch conservative one day deciding for you? If the power is handed over, one day this is inevitable. It works for nobody. Governments (no matter the side you follow) have always lied to us and will never cease to do so. Handing our rights over to them is beyond ridiculous. They will use this as another means to manipulate in filtering the information we can consume. Some may wish to remain stupid, not me.

            -1

            @R00D: No straw man there, it was an obvious inference. Your cliched comment about personal and parental responsibilty is neither new nor illuminating, nor does it offer any solution to what we've known for years about how people of all ages and mentalities interact with "social media".

            I'm well aware that extreme (rw esp) individuals will find ways to avail themsleves of all sorts of anti-social material. Some will use what they seek and find to validate their opinions and behaviours which - like your hyperbolic comment about governments and inevitability - distort and deny reality. Others, likely more gullible and even more self obsessed, will go further - not that you care of course.

            It appears you're unaware that living in any ordered society requires handing over of "rights" and acceptance of limits and responsibilities. We have written (laws and regs) and unwritten (social norms etc) agreements on how we will function - for patently obvious reasons. The question in "free" societies is always around boundaries,

            Question for you: *In your simplistic world who determines what those rights are and how we (well you and your cohort of "freedom" junkies) will deal with actual inevitable clashes of said rights? Every individual I presume?

            Your point of "stupidity" is higly contentious to day the least. Social media has some very useful information but it's also a cess pit of lies, mis- and dis-information eagerly swallowed by narrow minded idiots. Many of Musk's posts on X are classic examples.

            We are all "stupid" (ignorant) in many ways but it's not clear to me how open access to certain material will make us any less "stupid". Perhaps you can enlighten me? Recent history - in the USA in particular - has shown numerous instances of individuals using social media to confirm their own "stupidity" as normal and their anti-democratic and anti-social behaviour quite acceptable. Maybe that's the sort of society-without-limits you dream about but I'm pretty confident that vast majority of Australians don't - and will never - support such self-centred chaos.

            If you don't wish to remain "stupid" as you put it perhaps you should listen to what ASIO director-general Mike Burgess and AFP commissioner Reece Kershaw have to say at the National Press Club (today) when it becomes available. I have no doubt it will be unpalatable, but you should be less stupid (ignorant) at the end of it even if you don't agree with where they suggest our boundaries should lie.

      There are a heap of government incentives (read taxpayer paid subsidies) that kind of do that, particularly noveated lease.
      For example,
      A $57k Qld Tesla 3 (after retail EV rebate) is further discounted in a noveated lease $252/week
      A$32k Qld Mazda 3 pure is noveated lease $240/week
      A polestar 2 is $236/week

      • TheGiant on 23/04/2024 - 16:09

        Can't claim the EV rebate AND have a novated lease to claim FBT free in QLD. EV rebate can only be claimed via an individual purchase, not lease/company purchase.

        But anyone on a high tax bracket would be silly not to be looking at an EV car atm. 100% FBT free, on a 48% tax bracket the government is paying half of your payments via pre-tax novated lease. Provided you were borrowing funds to purchase anyway.

        I took a 3 year lease to take me up to early 2027. Scheme will be reviewed/end 30 June 2027 but government will honour any leases entered prior to this date. Agreed a 50% residual which might be a bit risky at this discounting haha but will hand back and take out new 5 year lease prior to any change hopefully.

          From when you order it to when you take delivery, you get the lowest price during that period.

          If it goes up by $10,000 the day after you order it, you get the original price.

          If it drops by $10,000 the day before you take delivery, you get the new price.

        Currently have a 12+ YO Mazda 6, looking to replace, and after adding on what I considered basic safety options, was basically the price of the Tesla, with much higher annual cost and still much less features and safety options than the Tesla.

          Take into account FBT free novated leases and the overall leasing/running costs can be lower than equivalent ICE cars.

      Also more than double on BYD Seagull if it comes to Australia. The LHD compatible to AU is AU$18k in Thai.
      Many do not need Seal when BYD Dolphyn can do most of the city driving with more parking convenience. I'm waiting for BYD Seagull that costs in China AU$ 13-21k (bargain, with better/cheaper sodium battery, small as Yaris & internal size of Corolla). In few years the battery tech will be much better so we should not overcapitalise with expensive current models.
      EVs are much more convenient & cheaper to maintain (except maybe for crash incidents as no maintenance network to fix parts. The whole unit is more expensive, but that's insurance issue & it might change with higher % of EVs.

      The real hack is a novated lease, get GST back and have all outgoings pre taxed. But thats what i did.

        Good move. The fed gov's EV incentive program can be a good deal if you're in an income bracket where the tax savings outperform the novated lease co's exorbitant interest rates, fees etc.

          Real hack is to BYO finance on a self managed NL - I am getting quotes for 7.65% as opposed to NL quotes of 12-14% interest.

            @Nuggets: Any tips on how/who to go through to do this? Looking at a novated lease myself and finding the savings are decent but not as amazing as advertised.

    As a comparable ICE car, a Toyota Camry costs from $39,000 (QLD). Comes with a proper dashboard and indicator stalks. Spectacular range and re-energises in 3 minutes.

    Tesla is still way, way overpriced.

    BYD is kicking Tesla's ass, I'd wait for Tesla drop the price sub-$40k in two years time.

      Someone that reads the news and doesn't do their own research.
      - For BEV's, Tesla still outsell BYD, but BYD do not compete with Tesla. BYD beat Tesla in volumes for 1 month last year only and operate at different ends of the market.
      Look, I like BYD, but comparing BYD quality\experience to a Tesla is getting silly.

      Even in China BEV's just hit 50% market share, plenty of room for both to grow.

      Tesla will have a sub $40k car but unlikely it will be the 3\Y, will be a budget model.

        People buy products based on their specs, price, availability, and fit for personal needs. Maybe only 0.00000001% of real customers prioritize arbitrary business metrics like trailing sales volumes or adoption in other countries over the tangible stuff.

        Given the genius has shelved those plans so he can spout drugged fantasies about robotaxis, I wouldn't hold your breath.

    Please STOP posting these, I am trying to look in another direction.

      Soon there will be better EV/autopilot renting models, so you don't buy what you don't use effectively most of the time & introduce risks of accidental damage/theft.

      • mickeyjuiceman on 23/04/2024 - 16:04

        Anyone who thinks "autopilot" is in the near future simply isn't keeping up with current events.
