    Has anyone in order of a tesla noticed the RN number and the Citi bank account number (minus the bsb) is the same?

    • Dogsrule on 20/01/2022 - 18:16

      That’s the way it’s always been and is intended to help prevent fraud - your order number will always match the bank account number.

    No deal. Tesla reliability isnt up there - check out

    you have alternatives - Kia / Hyundai/Toyota springs to mind.

    If you just want a CHEAP EV, suggest the Nissan lead 62KW as an import. Sure its not great (battery not liquid cooled impacts fast charge) but its really cheap - in $40-45k range
    https://prestigemotorsport.com.au/leaf-62kwh-import/

    some options to chew over :)

    • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 16:12

      Does the 45k include all the compliance issues? I reckon it will cost smidgen above 50k. No deal.

      Leaf is cheap and far too cheap.

      Toyota doesn't have electric yet. Their BZ4E base model will be around 60k conservatively.

      Hyundai Ioniq 5 is 75k ish.

      Kia what? EV6 ? I reckon will be 80k.

      • mybrains on 20/01/2022 - 18:55

        yes 45K would be done ready to drive away. I saw a 2019 model at (online japanese) auctions with 2,300kms that would be landed for ~41K. Of course no wty on 2nd hand to remember. But this is for people that want "cheap" and a good range and almost brand new. 41K is a lot less than a 60K Tesla. Its always your choice.

        The Koreans:
        Iconic 5 is listed as drive away $54,418 on their website - your 75K must be a spiced up version?
        https://www.hyundai.com/au/en/cars/eco/ioniq/electric

        EV6 stock IS in OZ but no price yet. Cant be far off Iconic 5 as its same base platform
        https://www.drive.com.au/news/kia-ev6-arrives-in-australia/

        dont forget the Niro/Kona is also there and being revamped for 2022, $54,400

        I still think Tesla reliability is still the issue here no matter what money/discount they offer. Its a 10 year investment for me. Sure the fanboyz will get upset with me but its reality

        • Deviner on 20/01/2022 - 21:28

          2019, second hand, Jap import, no warranty … much less desirable car with about 200km of real world range and worse performance.
          2022, brand new, local (made in China, which is the preferred), full warranty…. 300km'ish of real world range and better performance.

          Not really a great comparison is it? And I'd hate to think what the resale of a second hand, JDM, no warranty EV would cost here after dropping $45k.
          And I haven't even mentioned the whole thing about the fact Tesla's can utilise the Tesla infrastructure, as well as any other EV infrastructure - whereas your Leaf can't (right now).

          And lets not forget, we're talking about a Nissan goddamn Leaf here - something you're granny thinks is "lovely".
          Not exactly something you'd jump out of your skin to go and buy.

            @Deviner: Note the new leaf e+ 62kw is quoted at 385kms on nissan site. Given over estimation on these things, real world 300kms would be normal
            https://www.nissan.com.au/vehicles/browse-range/leaf/specs-a…

            2nd hand, true - but save 15K due to this. 2000kms is a dealer demonstrator mileage on a car

            what you say re Tesla infrastructure is totally true. All other brand EVs cant use it yet. Note leaf is Japanese-standard CHAdeMO and supports 100KW fast charge

            I'm 100% concur the granny look. Its basically a corolla. Mind you the model 3 has the ugliest front duck bill I have ever seen on a car - def needs new front bumper to fix that!. We should not forget that SUVs dominate the market (along with twin cabs) so hatches and sedans aint the sweet spot unfortunately

              @mybrains: I'm all for diversity and getting more EVs mainstream, not just Teslas. Like the i4, EQS, E-Tron and Taycan etc…. they're insanely good, but too expensive.
              There's just not a lot of EVs currently that do what a Model 3 is doing for similar money in my opinion.

              I just wouldn't touch a Leaf - maybe I'm just getting Micra vibes off them. With CHAdeMO, they'd need an adapter here too.

              The Model 3 isn't to everyone's liking, absolutely. But they're super popular now and resale value is still very good and they're a lot of bang for your buck.

              But you're right - SUVs and UTEs…. once there are some affordable, good EVs, I think the mass population here will very quickly convert.

                @Deviner: I cannot for the world believe that a second hand jap import (requiring compliance and all that shoite) is being compared to the king of electric cars and innovation. :)

                If someone on this thread wants a 2019 2nd hand car with no warranty (god awful looking as well) for $40-50k; go ahead!

                I would pay $30 for brand new leaf though. More than happy to tolerate the awful looks and cruddy range.

          Your commentary about Tesla reliability flew out the window when you suggested a $45k grey import Nissan Leaf with no warranty as a viable option to a Tesla.

          The Leaf is the one EV that requires at least one battery replacement in its life due to its lack of battery cooling, we have 12 years of data on this and its non-negotiable, and yes, this includes the 2nd Gen model:

          https://www.google.com/amp/s/cleantechnica.com/2020/12/05/my…

          Not to mention that DC charging slows down to 15kW on your second fast charge on a long trip:

              They also say they charge during the day for free. Therefore Tesla owners only drive after sunset and before sun rise it seems.

                I suspect Ghos7 is highlighting there is several points in the production chain that can be improved on (environmentally) in all cars being ICE or EV. Even the plastics in all cars are petrol byproducts. The bigger question is how do we find ways to lower the footprint without a cost blowout (as nobody can afford them then). If we dump plastic interiors, what can mfrs make them out of ? Or maybe they certify they use organic oils to make plastic out of (e.g sunflower etc)? There is so many points that can be improved. The current talk is about the massive landfill coming with old solar panels that have no way to recycle. We need to come up with a way to do this quickly or else create another future issue

      Good article

      Tesla has lots of quality issues, just need to watch any one of many YouTube videos from owners showing the issues from Day 1 of ownership

      As the Model 3 is Made in China, will wait for the Model Y for hopefully improved build quality

    Does anyone know if ordering now would guarantee zev subsidy given that delivery would take 14-20 weeks? Would appreciate details from those who recently ordered

      The government really needs to step in and provide some guaranteed and straight forward incentives and subsidies for EVs

      • Bjay on 21/01/2022 - 08:50

        I rang solar vic and was basically told to order and not to worry but still want guarantee. I even asked if I can retrospectively apply if ever all 4k subsidies are exhausted(they have 20k subsidies in total) but rep told me he's not sure about it. Now I want to find out for those who recently ordered if subsidy was calculated in the total

    Get those fingers clicking!

    Edit: Last time I checked was on 30 Dec 2021 08:08 AM and it was 1,711.

    • Bjay on 21/01/2022 - 08:57

      I was told by solar vic staff that subsidies should still be there even if I order in the next few months. He reckons not enough interest at the moment and won't be exhausted anytime soon

      • CuteWittleCorgi on 21/01/2022 - 09:00

        Just glancing at the the numbers over the holiday period, it looks like ~700 spots were filled, so I'm not sure what they could mean by not enough interest.

        • Bjay on 21/01/2022 - 09:05

          Yeah not sure as well. I only started checking 2 weeks ago. It was 1090 then

          Not guaranteed zev is what actually stopping me to pull the trigger. I know it's only $3k compared to the price of the car but I'd be more happy if I get it

    “Honey, I just saved 3k on a car!”
    “Yeah, but how much did you spend”
    “…”

  • Rob-4x4 on 21/01/2022 - 09:15

    Wish I could afford one as they are a great vehicle. A few friends own them.

    Still totally un-affordable for people earning around the medium wage ( currently around $60K AUD per year ) or less … Especially if you have to pay for rent or other boring stuff like food.

    • Naigrabzo on 21/01/2022 - 09:40

      This is true. But then can you afford a Rav4 Edge about $56k?? MANY can. that's the point. Some can own Range rover about 220k base.

    • hippyhippy on 21/01/2022 - 09:57

      60k …. you're basically on minimum wage. thats really the truth of it sadly. you wont be able to even save to buy a cheap house let alone a tesla. used car for you id imagine.

    I am guessing this 2022 model 3 come with thium iron phosphate (LFP) battery cells. It means you could charge up to 100% instead of 80% maximum charge in the older models and safer too.

    • Steptoe on 21/01/2022 - 12:42

      yes, ~60kWh LFP

  • ego22 on 21/01/2022 - 10:13

    Naa. most car brands that know how to make cars are bringing out a fleet of EVs within the next 2 years. Then down tesla goes…
