          This is because they are car enthusiasts. Happened when I drove WRX, MX5 GT86.

          • ctg on 20/01/2022 - 22:55

            @onlinepred: Car enthusiasts… don’t necessarily buy a Tesla. Hmm no-one I know that owns a Tesla is a car enthusiast, they either like what Elon is doing or they have it as a status symbol.

            It’s a club, just like moto riders nod to each other as they pass, they’re in a group. Whatever floats their boat.

            • onlinepred on 20/01/2022 - 23:44

      Why are some people so sour about Teslas?

      I can only speak for myself, but I don't care what you do with your money. What I do care about is when the government takes my money and gives it to you so you can give it to Elon Musk.
      Subsidies for consumer items are simply a mechanism for large wealthy corporations to bleed money from taxpayers. The whole concept is morally bankrupt.

        The big difference is Elon is helping you protect the planet while making his trillions which is why the government subsidises an EV purchase

        • Agret on 21/01/2022 - 14:06

          We don't have enough renewables in Australia to claim this is protecting the planet. The EV feel-good is a bit of a scheme right now. If we can get some nuclear going alongside alternative energy sources in the next couple decades we will be much closer to that goal.

            @1st-Amendment: It's pretty simple mathematics like 1+1 = 2
            Billions of cars burning carbon for decades gives carbon dioxide
            If the majority use electricity instead you emit a lot less carbon dioxide

              @Naigrabzo:

              muuuuuch better autopilot

              You won't say this after it slams the breaks on the middle of the road which could easily result in a pile up, just because the car in front turned right or it was closing a cyclist or tried to run a red light because there was no car in front.

              • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 12:26

                @websterp: Fair call. I would never use it except in motorways. Other cars do not even have a auto pilot system anywhere close to this.

                  @Naigrabzo: Every car with an stop and go adaptive cruise control system and lane guidance has "Autopilot" just as good as a Tesla. In fact probably better since other brands use both radar and camera systems in conjunction.

                  • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 14:32

                    @tp0: Do you have evidence to say that other cars are better than TEsla. I thought Tesla were the leaders in self driving?? I am not sure myself.

                    • tp0 on 20/01/2022 - 14:39

                      @Naigrabzo: Irrelevant since self driving vehicles are illegal for use on public roads in Australia. As far as we're concerned here the self driving capabilities of a Tesla are no different to many other, some much cheaper, vehicles with Level 2 autonomous functionality.

      They are cheaper than the Hyundai Kona, Kia e-Niro, Nissan Leaf e+, Mazda MX-30 and objectively much better value for money. Same price as the Polestar but you need to pay $5-10k in extra packages to anywhere close to the features the Model 3 has built in.

        MX30 is joke on humanity itself. You'd need to be an absolute numbskull to buy one.

        Kona is 'ok'.

        Leaf is a good joke but repeckt for being the first commertial electrik in Australia.

        Polestar is slightly expensive. Still Chinese if that matters. No history or reliability data.

        It happens to be that way at the moment, but its not like they can't make either LHD or RHD on any production line. UK vehicles were coming from Fremont as recently as 3-4 months ago, and China itself is LHD so they make both there.

      All Model 3s currently sold in Australia come from the Shanghai factory. This started when they introduced the facelifted model (Black window frame, door handles, power boot, etc, etc). Easy way to tell is to look at the window frames and door handles. If they are chrome the car is gen 1 from Freemont if all those are black then made in Shanghai ;)

      • Steptoe on 20/01/2022 - 15:03

    • chuq on 20/01/2022 - 11:32

      You'd be wrong then, Tesla batteries have excellent longevity. Something like 10% after several hundred thousand kms.

          with due respect, I don't think most engines can last 500k without significant repairs. I am talking 30k worth of repairs. ;)

          I don't think the batteries will last 500k though. By the time you drive 500k, then we will have much better battery tech and your car will be 15 years old. Maybe time to replace??

    • websterp on 20/01/2022 - 11:28

      I don't think anyone knows as Telsa haven't been selling cars in Australia long enough to see cars reaching their useable life of the battery. The only time someone would find out the replacement cost would be if they happen to puncture the battery pack or the coolant system by driving over something sharp. But going by US replacement costs you are correct.

        What is the expected lifetime of the battery?

          Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive Warranty:

          8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first, with minimum 70% retention of Battery capacity over the warranty period.

          Other models with bigger batteries have higher km limits on the warranty

          There are reports of individual vehicle's batteries lasting much longer. Tesla would have the best statistical information, but they are keeping it to themselves.
