      Do you ask petrol car manufacturers how much it costs to rip out and rebuild the engine? You won't need to replace the battery.

      • 1tightwad on 20/01/2022 - 12:21

        Will we not need to ever replace the battery because the rest of the car will fall apart before that point?

          My WRX engine was regularly maintained, and blew at 60,000kms. Cost over $12k to replace out of warranty. Bought car for $42k.

      I asked that question a few weeks back in the dealership, the rep said around 8k. I thought considering that wasn't too bad. Battery prices should only go down as scale ramps up.

    • wfdTamar on 20/01/2022 - 16:00

      The more pertinent question is the price of repair parts, particularly out of warranty. From my reading Tesla keep a tight hold on repairs, so you're unlikely to be able to do any DIY.

    pumping petrol $1.9L yesterday, this does not look that bad tbh once you consider the retarded fuel prices and how volatile they are. if you have solar panels this thing will charge up for free. my only concern to this day is the iffy build quality

      The build quality could be an issue I agree. The warranty is also shockingly short. the latter is my main and only gripe.

      The stories of iffy build quality come from the earlier Fremont-made cars - all Australian models have come from Shanghai since Dec 2020 and the quality has been great.

      • striker5950 on 20/01/2022 - 15:21

        thats not true, I'm seeing 2022 models on YouTube of owner reviewers showing the issues, granted they got them fixed at the dealer, but why does one have to go through the trouble of sending the car back for fixes, seems like they are spending more money fixing these issues after delivery vs just having better QC in the factory.

    • AmexReferralPlease on 20/01/2022 - 13:10

      So you charge your car when the sun is shining and you're out for the day?

    So when is the model Y coming?? There's been some talk but nothing yet. Wouldn't consider Model 3 because we would need one bigger car.

    • gotoadgo on 20/01/2022 - 11:49

      The model 3 has a surprising amount of room for a sedan due to not having a lot of undercarriage parts an ICE car does. The model Y though would be lucky to be here this year, I'd guess next year.

      • avidd on 20/01/2022 - 13:46

        I agree but after going from a sedan to a hatchback, the space is much more usable for the occasional large item that needs to be transported.

      • 1st-Amendment on 20/01/2022 - 15:18

        The model 3 has a surprising amount of room for a sedan

        The problem is ride height. Once you get used to stepping straight in and out of your car without having to do half a squat each time there's no going back.
        There's a reason that mid-size SUVs are the top selling format vehicle here.

        • nephilim on 20/01/2022 - 20:35

          Rav4 is the top selling SUV and it has less headroom then the model 3 and a lot hatchbacks

          • 1st-Amendment on 21/01/2022 - 09:11

            @nephilim:

            Rav4 is the top selling SUV and it has less headroom

            Who mentioned anything about headroom? The height of the seat relative to the ground makes ingress/egress much easier, and the higher seating position gives greater visibility.

    • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 12:08

      Model Y: $75k minimum.

    • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 14:29

        Yep https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/637111

        Tesla usually doesn't go by model years, they seem to change what they offer when they feel like it.

        For example, if you order now, you'll get the upgraded MCU. But they don't list that anywhere in their website.

      • pingponged on 20/01/2022 - 12:00

        technically a different model (model 3 vs model 3 SR+ previously) but in reality, you're getting a slower car, with some very minor range and interior changes for the same price

        • Tazzaaa on 20/01/2022 - 12:04

          I think people will start getting the Ryzen powered MCU if you place an order now. So faster centre console when opening up youtube/netflix etc.

      Free mats have been standard since the start of 2021 I think. You also used to get heated front seats + you had to pay to unlock the heated rear seats. Looks like heated rear seats are standard now with a new heated steering wheel.

      • eltito on 20/01/2022 - 14:00
        +2

        The 15k interest free loan does not apply to Tesla (at least not yet).
        As per the website:
        https://brighte.com.au/marketplace/electric-vehicles/electri…

        There are currently only 5 dealers (new EV) in which the 15k interest free loan can apply for. Further, I'm not sure how it works if you do end up getting a EV and the 15k loan - because obviously most electric cars would be over the 15k. I assume the best case scenario is that they give you the 15k interest free loan which you can put towards your EV and use your own bank to get a cheap loan/pay off balance in cash. 15k interest free loan + Tesla 2.99% financing would be a decent outcome.

        I've searched as to whether Tesla will eventually get onto the $15k scheme but found no such info.

    If you believe the global warming stuff, then realise that 80% of electricity in the grid comes from coal and gas.
    Given the losses in the distribution system, charge and discharge, toxic battery production and waste etc, electric vehicles are not helping.
    A small petrol engine is far better as heat is turned to energy on the spot.

    Like many things though it's not black and white, they have their upsides. Electric cars are better in stop-start traffic, and transfer fumes from urban areas to power stations.

    Electric vehicles are tracked at all times though so enjoy that.

      A small petrol engine is far better as heat is turned to energy on the spot.

      do you think your car runs like a steam engine? its not the 'heat' being turned into energy, and 'on the spot' isnt accurate unless you mined the oil from under your car

      what do you think the losses are on both oil->petrol conversion and delivery to your local petrol station, plus then conversion from fuel -> rotational motion of your engine are?

      fake news

      https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Approach-to-High-Effic…

      thermodynamic efficiency is leagues apart. Remember that internal combustion engines only have peak efficiency at certain, specific RPMs and trail off dramatically at other times, like traffic or when the engine isn't at operating temperature.

      Also, as I understand, EVs owners typically charge their car at night, where marginal increases in load have a small impact on the amount of new fuel used (below baseload), or rooftop PV, where net carbon has already been captured in the manufacture and installation and the marginal gains are essentially zero carbon.

      This article will help you understand the carbon lifecycle of IC engines vs. electric motors. The difference in Australia isn't as significant as it is in countries with a higher renewable %, but this will change with constant investment in renewable generation whereas your ICE will not. If you use rooftop solar, the difference is enormous.

    I don't think this is a price drop, the Subsidy has been there a while now.
    This subsidy has a limit so Tesla can't advertise the drive away price inc subsidy.

    Only thing I noticed is that the stamp duty now has increased slightly.
