Greetings everyone, this was originally posted on the weekend but was removed due to a lack of information, but thought it was best to share again as it's a substantial discount :)
As per the Drive Article:
The price of the Tesla Model 3 has dropped substantially for the Australian market, in line with upgrades to the electric sedan's interior and exterior design and technology features and claimed electric range figures.
The base Standard Range Plus model is now priced from $66,900 before on-road costs – representing a decrease of $7000 on previous pricing – while its quoted range has received a 30km boost, now extending to 490km on a single charge (according to the NEDC test).
The mid-spec Long Range variant has dropped to $83,425 before on-road costs, a price cut of $6000, while its quoted range has climbed to 657km, up from the previous 620km (an increase of 37km).
Finally, the top-of-the-range Performance variant now costs $92,425 before on-road costs, or $5000 less than before, and offers a claimed range of 628km – marking the largest range increase in the line-up with a boost of 68km.
Surprisingly, while prices have decreased, the level of standard equipment on offer has been either upgraded or revised.
All prices listed above exclude on-road costs, but include Tesla's mandatory $150 order fee and $1375 delivery fee.
As always, enjoy :)
how far do you need to go?
where do you drive most to now?
Do you leave everyday with full tank of petrol basically before you go?
How hard is doing a long trip with designated breaks every 2-3 hours?
I think the range concerns aren't a big deal even on the standard..
I'm by no means a long haul driver but i do a trip 1-2 times a year syd to bris and would currently stop twice maybe three times on the way for meals and fuel.. i'd just have to extend the stays a big longer.. tesla trip planner says 4 stops. with each stop being 20mins approx max.
not bad.. long range sure prob reduces that concern i guess but i dont think it's needed for a big majority of people..
