      Melbourne to Sydney in a Model 3 LR, starting with 100% charge and arriving with 20% you’d need to charge for less than an hour on the way. Easy to stop for lunch while it charges.

      Read up on these things before making yourself look silly.

    • +3

      There are superchargers and fast chargers all the way up the Hume to Noosa. According to a better route planner, it would take about 10:08 hrs to drive from Melbourne to Sydney in a new SR+, with 3 stops to fast charge. Fast charging would take 1hr 20mins total, driving 8hrs 49 mins. You can make 3 stops for charging (Albury, Gundagai, Goulburn), and you'll arrive in Sydney with 10% battery. Total cost is $28, but you'll likely have free supercharger credits. You could probably skip the last charger if you charged a little longer at lunch.

      • +1

        And don’t mention free charging from NRMA

        • +2

          I didn't realise it was free in NSW. We have to pay for Chargefox in Vic, (but its cheaper than superchargers with RACV discount). Most of the Evie Charging the region chargers are free, but they are only 50kw.

  • +3

    Cheapest used Performance model online is 87k, so it's literally cheaper to buy brand new at the moment.

    • +3

      The asking prices on carsales make no sense. The cheapest used SR+ in NSW is listed at $73.3k.
      With the price cut and no waiting list most sellers are going to have to take a solid $10-20k haircut before they have a hope of selling their car. Especially once the Model Y turns up.

      Realistically, no one is going to pay more than 90% of the new car price on a used one.

      • -2

        Try 50 - 60% of new car price is the more realistic figure

        • +1

          Not when it comes to Tesla’s at the moment.

  • +1

    Super annoying. Just took delivery of an SR+ on June 30. Grrrrr…

    • +2

      I took delivery of my LR back in December, $10k cheaper now. Bit of a bugger but if I guess you could wait forever if you always want to get it cheaper.

      • +1

        It's like smartphone, newer model is always around the corner and current phone gets devalued

        • -2

          Newer smartphones are more expensive than the previous models (just see the iPhone 12) so NO, TOSLA discounting is nothing like the smartphone market.

      • There is also the opportunity cost of waiting that many don't consider. (Savings for the environment, your health and your wallet).

  • This or the MG ZS EV for $42.990?

    Both are made in China

    • Depends on what you're after. This has better range, performance and tech and better resale value. MG is more practical and roomier (if you have a larger family, etc) but you take a big range and performance hit. So yea, depends on what you're after.

      • Cheers mate

      • I wouldn't disagree with you on any point other than resale.

        Resale value must be tanking if the new car RRP drops too.

        If you bought one a year ago for $73,900, this is now worth circa/sub 50k second hand, and you're less than 12m into driving it. That's a 20k+ hit. Most new cars drop 20% or so (15k for a 74k car). So I'd argue this has really poor resale value due to the RRP dropping so heavily.

    • +1

      Tesla.

      • 👍

    • -5

      As they are both made in China, good luck either on the large number of quality issues that are reported

      Can't imagine what nutter would spend $60k - $90k for a Chinese made car. Have you even sat in an MG, the fit and finish are rubbish.

  • +1

    the $25k USD tesla hot hatch is what i'm waiting for

    • I’d be happy with $40K AU

      Pricey but not ridiculous

  • This explains where Elons $$$ went from selling all his property

  • A decrease in rrp makes something a deal?

    Shouldn't this be in forums, or can any rrp decrease be posted as a deal?

    • +2

      Lol - there’s always a reason to neg isn’t there? If this was ineligible to be posted as a deal, then the moderators would have moved it already. You seem to know a lot more than they do. /s

      The Model 3 have decreased in price over the year and deals have been posted about it every time. Look, it’s a significant advantage over a similarly priced Nissan Leaf. Australians are able to get this car for cheaper than they would’ve if ordered between Apr - Jul.

      • -6

        So pasta going from 2.95 rrp to rrp f 2.80 counts also.

        Okay, understand.

        The rest of your bs is your bs

    • Have you not noticed the 3080 deals, it can be a deal at 3x RRP.

      If there's no supply RRP is irrelevant. Tesla is unique in the sense there's no dealer and they sell to public. Where you may get 20-25% off at a BMW dealer whilst the MSRP stays the same, Tesla's RRP pricing is transparent and any drop is a deal for those looking to buy one

    • We’ve been waiting for you

  • still ridiculously expensive and not something most could afford

    • This is outselling the Camry in Australia now.

      • -1

        and? that has no relevance to my statement at all, most aussies can't afford a $60k car but if it was priced similarly to what it is in the US then it'd actually be affordable for many more people

        • +3

          I think it does. The Camry is the car of the people. Now this is. Don't assume your situation is reflective of everyone else. This car has US pricing + import costs and taxes. This car in the US is $USD39,990 + delivery/state taxes, which is about $USD2000. $USD42,000 is $56,068. This is within $AUD5000 of US prices, on the road, which is great considering our higher taxes. The lifetime savings is obviously far greater because our petrol is way more expensive.

          • @[Deactivated]: model 3 car of the people? not even top 10 in sales, corolla is more of a car of the people than it as it sells more currently so i am not assuming my situation is reflective of everyone else (you are the one doing that)

            also where did you hear that the camry is being outsold by the model 3? couldnt find info on it (even if true it doesnt change the fact that it is still unaffordable for most)

            • +3

              @s1Lence: The top selling cars in Australia are $50k+ Utes.

              And here the model 3 outsells the Camry.

              https://thedriven.io/2021/07/09/another-1200-model-3-teslas-…

              The Model 3 is not unaffordable for most. That's your situation. If you can afford a Ranger or Hilux, you can afford a Model 3. It won't be suitable for the same purpose, but affordability is not the issue.

              • -3

                @[Deactivated]: "Nine days into July and Tesla has shipped more Model 3s than Toyota has sold Camrys."
                that means that tesla has shipped more model 3s to australia than toyota has sold camrys, not that tesla's model 3 has outsold the camry

                barely anyone even owns a model 3 in australia and it isn't outselling the camry or many other cars so i dont know how it is the "car of the people", i also think it will be in the future but it isnt just yet

      • +1

        Toyota sell about 13k Camry's a year these days. You really think the M3 will do more than that? I'm not so sure, but maybe the NSW EV incentives will make it happen this year.

        Hopefully one of them will be mine though, I was looking at getting a Camry SL hybrid, but after Toyota jacked the price by $5k in April, and with the 2 price drops on the M3 since then + the NSW rebate, an SR+ is looking increasingly likely to occupy one of my garage spots.

    • +3

      Many can afford a $60k car

      Considering top car sales hilux and ranger are top 2 followed by the rav 4
      A big chunk of rav4 sales is hybrid at $50k

      So a full electric at $60k isnt a big stretch by any means

      • -1

        many can, most cant

            @[Deactivated]: "full time", why so disingenuous? if you account for all employed adults (not just full-time) that figure drops to $1200 a week, that's 60-something thousand a year, straight from the ABS without your terrible attempt at twisting the data to match your preconceived notions

            (also average != median, which is more important here probably https://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/bbwz2l/why_avera…)

            • -1

              @s1Lence: This is not twisting data. This is raw data. And full time is an obvious assumption, why would you think part time data is relevant at all? Why not also include all babies and children, just to lower the income tax threshold even more.

              And I didn't choose the word average, you did. I'm just presenting you with the facts to counter your unrealistic assumption. If you're some part time loser crying poor because you can't afford a Tesla, the issue isn't with me or the facts, it's firmly with you.

        • +1

          Many can and do

          No one is forcing anyone to spend $60k on a car

          You clearly missed or refused to acknowledge the point that many are spending $50k on cars or more anyway

          Just because you cant or wont doesnt change what others are doing

        • Sure they can spend a years salary on a car
          Finance and dual incomes makes things easy

              And what people spend their money on has no relevance to you

      • Consider the total cost of ownership when purchasing the car.

        How long will you keep it?
        How much will it cost you over that time? (purchase price + all it cost you over time)
        How much will it be worth at the end of that time?

        This is why an EV can be comparable to a much cheaper ICE car. Total cost of ownership (TCO).

      • DUUUDES, People buy RAV4 Edge version for nealy 60k. Silly VW hot hatch for $56k. This is nothing.

  • +1

    Why people neg this deal? Is $3k saving on a $62k car not a deal, and will only upvote 50% off deal?

    • -5

      Its not a deal when TOSLA are discounting their China made cars due to poor sales and quality issues that means no one wants to buy their product.

      • +2

        Oh yeah, the sales are so poor. That's illustrated by their quarter on quarter record sales for the last 2 years straight.

    • I'd say if you wait a few months this will drop another 3k by the rate this is dropping.

      • I think you're right, a few more price drops to come to compete better with the long lineup of affordable EVs from almost every manufacturer being launched over the coming months and years. I think we're not that far away from price parody between EV and petrol cars.

  • Has anyone got a model 3 with FSD? I understand features of the FSD package are being rolled out gradually but what FSD features do you have working right now in Australia and do you think it is more than a party trick at this point of time? I'm in two minds whether the extra 10K hit for FSD is justifiable or if it will end up being nothing more than a rort as even Musk is admitting FSD is harder than they anticipated and in Australia we may not even see level 4 due to poor roads and restrictive regulations within the lifetime of a model 3 bought right now.

    • +1

      Do not pay for FSD. A bird in the hand is worth ten in the bush. Put your $10k into TSLA.

    • DO NOT PAY FOR FSD. Get it later if you think you need it. Auto pilot is nothing short of amazing. DO TRY IT before buying.

  • IS there a cycle of release that I should know? I read that they release a new model every 19 months. There are multiple product lines, just like iphone/ipad/imac… Unlike normal cars, they do not "upgrade" models every year.

    IS there anything that we miss if we buy now?

    Asking for a friend :P

    • Tesla like making constant running changes to their cars, some very significant and mostly will not announce it.

      This is good in my opinion, most other carmakers will leave problems in their cars for years or forever.

  • imagine if you bought this 12 months ago, $73,900.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is sub 50k by xmas 2020.

      EV to drop in value by 50% in 5 years new report claims. Buying an EV now will drop in value sharply each year over the next 5 years making resale value the worst of any new car purchase.
      https://www.drive.com.au/news/electric-cars-to-become-cheape…

      You mischaracterised the article

      New EVs will drop in price in the next few years and take over.

      Traditional cars though will become more expensive to buy new and eventually become un-saleable secondhand.

      • +1

        In the next few years EVs will take over? What planet are you on?

        Where's the infrastructure to allow for this? How many people currently have access to charging stations? Fine if you're in a CBD and want to go for short drives.

        More brands need to adopt and release first, which will take a lot longer than 'the next few years'. Tesla rate poorly in the reliability stats, I wouldn't touch one.

        • +2

          You don't understand EV charging. CBD would be the worst place to own one. Suburbs with garages are the stomping ground.

      Have you driven or owned a Model 3?
      I guess you can’t afford or has little experience with the car, just posting your imagination here.
      Model Y is fully sold till Q3 in North America although Tesla has increased the price several times.
      We are lucky to enjoy the price reduction thanks to aud and more supply from Shanghai factory.

      Yes. Its an EV. Why would you think you wouldn't?

    • +2

      Yes. This tax applied to all purely electric vehicles.

      However, you may be eligible for a $4000 Zero Emissions Vehicle subsidy from the Victorian government which would cover the first 120,000km of this tax.

    • Not going to happen.

      • Yes it will, 100% it will, but not this year and probably not the next.

        • No it won't. This car competes with the 3 series and C class. Its not going to start 30k below them. Its not going to get a 20% discount from the current price. That's wishful thinking.
