Didn't expect this to be my first post, but here we are.

Obviously not a deal for everyone, and still a high yield investment depreciating asset, but Tesla has adjusted the price on their highest end Model S and Model X by about 33% which is a pretty significant saving of about $82,000 - $85,000 (or thereabouts) varying based on on-road costs for whichever state you're going to register the car in.

E.g. VIC pricing

  • Tesla Model S Ludicrous Performance (previously known as P100D) - $165,529 (was $248,112)
  • Tesla Model X Ludicrous Performance (previously known as P100D) - $172,502 (was $258,402)

For anyone previously looking to buy one of these, the value proposition has become a lot better. Still not for everyone. A pricing change of this magnitude is pretty much unheard of in the automotive industry, so it should be interesting to see what impacts it has on the resale value of existing used cars.

Here's an article from Carsales summarising the changes

UPDATE: These prices will only be valid until March 18th 2019 as Tesla will be increasing prices to make up for closing less stores than initially planned. They estimate 3% on average, but this higher margin variant may end up absorbing a large portion of the price increases.

    2.6s from 0-100k/h is supercar performance and for that price is not too bad.

    A bargain is a bargain so im up-voting it but i feel like the days of the 1$ shorts from sports direct and people asking about how to stretch 12$ to feed themselves for a month are dead and gone

      I got negged a while ago for saying that current switch sale wasn't the best price it could be, because it's been $20 cheaper.

      All of a sudden these rich fkfaces appeared and said "It's only $20" and berated me for pointing it out.

    Had a drive of the P100D in ludicrous mode about 12 months ago and that thing seriously nearly gave me whiplash - unbelievable acceleration!!! Autopilot mode also felt pretty freaky driving on the Monash freeway in Melbourne…

    • Palamedes on 03/03/2019 - 13:36

      My partner and I took a Tesla Model S TAXI (Company is Taxi Electric) from Amsterdam to the Airport last year and got the accommodating driver to give us a demo on an empty road. Damn it was fast! It seemed to hit two acceleration levels, it started at scary and slightly later hit terrifying and then he backed off before we wet ourselves.

      The driver said lots of options/updates were downloadable. He had updated his to Autodrive (probably not legal in Holland yet) to have a play.

          By that logic I should only post stuff which is for me. And not for the community.

    Felt compelled to post in the greatest bargain of all time.

    I test drove one and it’s truely amazing acceleration. But as soon as you use the power the range halves very quickly. If you do much spirited driving your range will be a quarter at best of the advertised range.

      Nope. No standards yet. But we will adopt CCS2 and Type 2 moving forward. Tesla use Type 2 for AC charging but they use a barstardised version of "DC-Mid" for their supercharging. To Tesla's credit they will offer adapters for CCS2.

    Those who were following their 'new' local inventory would know that the top of range models were never even close to 248K drive away, they were closer to these 'adjusted' prices. Panoramic sunroof is no longer available and some features that used to be included in the top of the range models are no longer standard. $6400 + taxes for 21" wheels, $4300 + taxes for Autopilot, $7100 + taxes for Full Self Driving with Autopark, Supercharging and Premium Connectivity are no longer unlimited with new cars.

    I am still driving my 10 year old car and waiting to replace it with an electric car … but even at these prices I will need to wait a little longer. Amazing that Australia does not have any incentives to buy electric cars. A lot of the worlds lithium is mined in Australia … so there should be some interest in making electric cars a success.

    Looking forward to see the new Huyndai Iconic, Kona and the Kia Niro. Also the Honda e Prototype looks promising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfD67KCFxqI
