        • You are an even bigger fool if you think the FSD beta that they are running in USA is level 2 autonomy. You ignorance is hilarious.

          • +2

            @dealsucker: Tesla FSD is nowhere close to level 5, which is the true self driving level.

            The term Full Self Driving car that Tesla uses is highly deceptive and misleading to consumers, and it is already sued in Germany https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/14/tesla-autopilot-self-driving…

            • @dhnqt: When did i say its level 5? Its definitely NOT level 2.

            • +1

              @dhnqt: Excellent thank you! That's exactly my point! Before I started my test drive I wasn't made aware of how much it could do on its own. Not till I finished the drive I was made aware of the limitations. For a regular customer I'd expect the tesla employee to tell me exactly what the limitations of the car before I start the drive and they didn't. This added to level on dissatisfaction.

    • +4

      Unpleasant experience, car didn't deliver on all these promises…. ?
      For such a big paraph of text, there's next to no information in here?

      Sounds like your entire test drive revolved around Full Self Driving, which the car either didn't have, or you didn't enable.

      There's more to the car than the FSD, maybe you would have enjoyed things more if you didn't get so hung up on that side of it.

      • I tried to appreciate the car but I personally couldn't. It's not my cup of tea and not my kind of car. That's why I said in the end people will have their own opinions. Nowadays it's hard to share an opinion without a bunch of people attacking your views. Mind you I drove in crammed Sydney streets so the car possibly drives better in open roads and would be better in Canberra.

        • Nah man. Some people fit certain cars better. Everyone is allowed to 'like' whatever car they want.

          Tesla is a good value imho only because I want to fund the research that gives us the level 5 FSD.

          • @Naigrabzo: I'm not sure even with level 5 FSD whether it will be safe for people. It doesn't matter how idiot proof you can make technology as there will always be risk involved. The FSD is a gimmick because it doesn't appear to be practical in my opinion because no matter how perfect it is made there will always be people who will crash their cars just because they have the ability to use this 'FSD' functionality. Now I know anyone can hurt themselves with misuse of anything practically but when it can cost your life a lot more easily on the raods, you'd want to rethink the choice to use these cars. Article here doesn't paint a good picture regardless of people's idiocy: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-19/two-dead-tesla-driver…

            • @thousandsuns: Agree about idiocy and also concerns about hax. Did you watch "upload" on prime?

              I would feel safer with a driver who will never get tired or emotional; or become old and slow.

              All we really need is to show that FSD (level 6 or whatever) is safer than human drivers. Even if it's slightly safer, even slightly better on traffic, slightly easier on older people getting to appointments and slightly better on environment to just have one car for 4 people roaming the streets by itself, it will become mainstream.

              FSD is not here yet but I am strongly suspicious it is the future.

      I saw one of these Teslas launch into space and My Model 3 is lacking this functionality : Complete gimmick…. ripped off …

      No you didn't.

      The autopilot works around curves without an issue, and much better than BMW or Mercedes systems. It works perfectly on Freeways in Australia and will drive you hundreds of kilometres, changing lanes by itself and navigating between freeways and around corners without any human intervention.

      Maybe pushing the autopilot lever down was a big complicated for you?

      And the Model 3 performance doesn't belong in the same boat as the C63 or M3. It's much much faster and costs $70k less. It's in a class of its own.

      • It's MY EXPERIENCE not yours. No need to force your thoughts onto mine. I know what I drove and I was driving with the autopilot on and it is NOT perfect. It also comes down to what sort of roads you drive on. You can't change roads and lanes to suit your car. Go buy one and enjoy it mate. Better yet but a few. It's your money you blow it. Who tf cares?

        And yes it costs 70k less and its made in China and it isn't Merc or BMW. It's not an expensive luxury car. So you're right it's NOT in the same class. Poor man's wannabe luxury car. Sure why not?

    • Since when have I ever said this is a review? Lol. It's simply my experience. The car in my opinion is trash. That's my view. If you don't agree then that's up to you? So many people here trying to glorify this car when it isn't all that and could do a lot better as said. I currently drive a c200. I'll upgrade to a c63 over a gimmicky tesla any day. All of you are free to buy one if you have the coin to spend and feel that passionate about it.

  • Can we pay in dogecoin?

  • Option for click and collect to save on delivery fees?

  • This question may have already been asked and answered but are batteries included? I love these toys and buying it as a present, it can be frustrating if you don’t have the batteries on opening the present.

  • +3

    Call me a saddo but the big seller for me on Tesla's is their ANCAP safety rating. Overall they're right up there with Volvo and best of the current available electric cars (I think?).

    Now if only I could afford one. Sadly they won't give me much for my hail stone damaged manual Hyundai i30 in trade.

  • Of all the upvotes, I wonder how many sales occurred?

    • 0.03%

    • "zero"

    • It has me genuinely interested. I’m more of a $30k cash car buyer but these things are awesome and have insane resale value.

      • EQS would be more than 200k here. It an electric S class.

        • I think it will be closer to $300k starting price here. It's more than a base S class which is $250k.

    Does this one comes with free tank of petrol?

    • It comes charged up

    The same car sold in China is only $49500 (13% VAT incl) vs $64425 (10% GST incl) in Australia. So no thanks.

    • Can't agree more!

    • Street foods only 50c in india. Don't ever eat out in Aus. Also don't start a business here, wages too expensive compared to china.

      • +1

        Tesla is more like iPhones. Perishables Vs non perishables.

        India street vendors probably don't have as many rules as ours do.

        • Selling a car in china also has less rules than selling it here. That plus the teslas are made in china vs having to be shipped to aus (and all the rules associated with shipping to aus) would mean a tesla here would cost more than in china.

    • Chinese makes probably 5 times less money than Australian. So you probably have Tesla for quite cheap mate. Small little straight line logic do not always show the full picture

    • They need to correct their pricing. We are being ripped off for sure.

      P.S. The Chinese price account for the government subsidies as well. https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Automobiles/Tesla-cuts-star….

    For a small sedan @ $64k DA with known manufacturing and reliability issues, I would rather buy a VW Tiguan Highline (with a GTI engine) for $55k DA. You get AWD and heaps more space.

            • @[Deactivated]: not sure what you mean. … that second article the tesla is the polar opposite of the headline you quoted.

              if you're going to post something, it should be in in context

              what you posted you have to read the article in full to get to the conclusion that for this situation, the result is the exact opposite of the headline quote..

  • +4

    Chances are the prices will continue to drop in the near future, it's probably worthwhile to keep waiting at this rate..

  • This or MG?

    • This of course

    • That of course

    • +1

      MG of course. If you can live with the lower range in exchange for the feel of $20k left in your pocket.

      • MG is a poor EV

        its and ICE car with the EV engine thrown in

        poor efficiency, range, high rolling resistance, exceedingly heavy

        it might be cheap but it's the worst way to go about building an EV and it wont last

        meanwhile a tesla will survive 300km+ on it's original battery and is a viable replacement for an ICE vehicle

        you get what you pay for

        i'd consider MG when they actually design an EV from the ground up, as for their current cheap SUV within 5 years of use the car will have such limiting range that you'll have no choice but to try an sell it to an unsuspecting buyer

        • Not sure where you get your info from. The ZS EV is a lot more car than a Model 3, and it still weighs less.

          The different form factor limits the efficiency somewhat, but it's still better than the Model X for example.

          Not everyone wants to pay 50% extra for some extra range with a model 3. Let's face it, if range anxiety is your thing you won't want an EV anyway.

          As to battery life span: warranties are identical, cooling technologies too, I see no reason why MG batteries should last shorter than Tesla ones.

          Only time will tell which car is the better long term investment, what I hear of Tesla's build quality is not very reassuring though.

    • This or MG? USA or China?

    • +1

      Lots of weirdly specific cases here, I'm sure you could come up with a similar (or worse) list for any other car brand.

      That Tesla Death tracker is actually extremely impressive though, although the data is obviously cherry picked. 1.3+ million worldwide deaths by car and this list only accounts for 170 of those deaths over the last few years…

    • that news article is referring to a security breach or MITM attack which involved the scammer pretending to be Tesla sending a fake, but legit-looking invoice to the victim and having the victim pay the scammer instead of Tesla. The scammer is not Tesla but an unknown party.

      Read

      What happened next was a decidedly modern crime, brought about by a method of payment that is rapidly becoming outdated.

      Rather than making her final payment of $74,647.62 through Tesla's secure website, she was sent an email from the company, with an invoice attached.

      That invoice was intercepted by hackers and the bank details changed.

      Andrea unknowingly paid the money to a fraudulent bank account instead of Tesla, sending her money straight into the hands of scammers.

    Electric car at this price does not give incentives to go “green” at all!

    • How true is the range compared to what's advertised?

      • real world around 400km on the SR+ and around 480-500km on the LR

      • 424km realistically

    this post actually got me considering a Tesla. I'm on market for a new car.
    And after watching this review, I'll give this car a pass
    https://www.carsguide.com.au/ev/tesla-model-3-2021-review-lo…

    It is far too different from a conventional car. First issue is the speedo not central to the driver. That ticks me off. And everything is controlled though a flat touch screen. No thanks. Lacks the touch and feel of what a conventional car would be.

    The BMW 3 or Merc C class is much better IMO for similar money.

    • +2

      So you've not driven the car, but in your expert opinion the 3 series or C class is better. OK. sure.

      • +1

        You don't always need to test drive a car to persuade yourself to get one.

        Face value is equally important and for me it hasn't ticked many boxes on face value.

        Firstly the Model 3 design is very boring
        The interior is lacklustre
        No i don't want to look at a rectangular screen to see my speedo.

        This car doesn't suit everyone and that's fine. Each to their own.

    • +1

      duuuurrr, if you don't like the touch screen. Wait till you see what the new Merc interiors are, and by essence, all the other car makers dashs are.
      It's all going touch screen unfortunately.

    • I love how you say "It is far too different from a conventional car" as if you've actually made a valid point.

      But anyways, thanks for letting us know you're going to give the car a pass.
      Maybe stick with something a bit more "conventional" for your tastes.
