Hi All,

Just came back from Tesla in Chadstone. The Model Y has a $3000+. price drop. Just started today at lunch time.
Went for a test driver and when I came back, the sales guy said he just received an email confirming a price drop on the Model Y.
Being a true OZBARGAIN guy, I bought one. Took all of 5 mins to order. 2 - 4 month deliver time.
If anyone thinking of getting one, now is a good time before they have massive back orders I guess.

State Driveaway price
VIC $74666
NSW $71757
ACT $71337
NT $73570
QLD $72856
SA $74360
TAS $71303
WA $76337

      Price jack!

      I had the first batch Y in AU; my invoice
      Model Y (base) : 60,900.00
      Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive : 8,000.00
      = $68,900

      Now the delivery fee is +$25 and order fee +$50 … so they just reversed the last increase on the car but still bumped the other fees up.

        The prices literally go up and down every other month - that's common knowledge.

        If you ordered at a certain price and, before delivery, the price goes up, you still pay whatever.

        You could only call something a "price jack" if it was advertised as being on sale and was more cheaper a short time before it eventually went on sale.
        Otherwise it's just the price point moving….

                Maybe your Google results were for the petrol version? And more likely for the $19k MG 3 budget hatchback?

      There has been no indication of when this will be, likely once they get their backorder mostly filled. Arguably Australia is one country where the LR would be most useful due to our large distances between major cities.

      Seven seat option would also be great given how few options there are for families looking to buy an EV that have >3 kids (or an extended family).

                @buffalo bill: That would suck, I could drive it without stopping in my dirty ICE vehicle, stop for toilet breaks or stretch the legs but that's it. I guess if they are superchargers they can do around 300kms in 15mins so would probably only stop for a total of 45mins or so, which isn't awful (assuming they don't have to wait for the charger).

          People drive mostly short distances in cities in every other country too.

          The difference is Australia has lower population density, and so more need for longer range.

          • tp0 on 06/01/2023 - 20:55

            @GandalfTheCheap: We have a reasonably high population density in the area of the country where people actually live. The average car in Australia only travels 35km a day.

            Most people fly between cities evidenced by the Melbourne to Sydney air route being one of the busiest in the world.

            The idea that we all drive long distances is some weird product of our national psyche and not actual fact.

              @tp0: Obviously, we don't all drive long distances, but there are plenty of people that do, and a lot of them do it out of necessity. I do around 20,000 km a year and often do long road trips between 300 - 2000 km. Yes I am in the minority but the market is there.

              Also, take into consideration that there only being 1 or 2 chargers and there are 2 or more vehicles waiting to use those chargers, or possibly one - may be the only one is not working - and how long are you going to be waiting to charge your car? These problems are a reality.

          If you drive pass a Costco petrol station on a day where most of the petrol stations has their peak price when Costco has its lowest, it is scary enough to see people probably wait at least 20 to 30 mins (assuming everyone knows and filled up in Costco before). Imaging along the interstate, a sign of charging station makes you feel relax until you reach there and find out only 2 chargers and 10 cars waiting.\
          I am not against EV as I really want one too, it is just the no. of charging stations in Australia is far less than in US. I won't be hesitated to get one if I am in US or anywhere that have enough charging stations.

            @JCRALLYART: So you won't buy an EV because once or twice a year you might go on a long trip, and then you might have the chance of having to wait for a charge for a long time.

            But totally fine with having to wait and petrol station every two weeks or so all year round, which inevitably means a long time wasted but just spread out.

            I have had an EV for 7 years and it's more of an issue that a charger is broken than you have to wait a long time.

                @JCRALLYART: Yeah but it's "potentially" once or twice a year, when most people are going on holiday. In reality, that potential scenario is probably at best a 1 in 20 chance that its going to be significant enough to really put you out. The other 19 times you get there and there's either no one or one person in front of you. You could also potentially have a flat tyre, or some other ICE vehicle related issue that's less likely to happen in an EV, if we are going to start counting things at that level

          I think also general electrical grid will need major upgrades. If you are to charge your EV after a typical 9-5 job you are charging in a peak time. In Qld the coal plants struggle to carry the afternoon load as it is.

          • Bargainian on 08/01/2023 - 22:36

            @Delilahgetsaround: That's true and I don't buy the argument that you can charge your EV from your solar panels as it's not valid for 90% population. Also, as the EV sales are picking up, infrastructute is not keeping pace. For a country like Australia it makes sense for longer range cars and more charging stations, along with diversified mix of renewable sources (wind, solar, pumped hydro and tidal energy etc) with coal/gas as emergeny backup.

              @Bargainian: Yeah I think a lot of people don't understand the renewables don't help with the peak power times. The rush into all of this is just going to cost the consumer more. I'm all for a transition into renewables but the power prices have already went up.
              I'm currently working at a coal mine (I also work on wind and solar projects), last year a main coal plant in SEQ had a consumption of 4.5m tonne, this year it's having to ramp up to 6.7m tonne.
              That's after all the solar and wind projects being commissioned in the Surat basin.

          For EV charging, during summer, it is 90% my own roof top solar, typically I do less than 350km/week, so home panels are enough. During cold and dark winter and cloudy times I charge with TOU "off peak" 11pm-7am overnight charging 18cent/kwh, unless I need a quick charge (rare). So, I think the impact on peak grid usage will be moderate with mass adoption of EVs as owners are motivated to save $ and charge.

          The brutal reality is that as a planet fossil fuel must stay in the ground, we cannot keep burning them; change must occur, but it cannot be done in 1 year or even 1 decade; we need to be part of the change. Currently I am part of a CitiPower trail in which home installed, but remotely activated EV grid charging stations are being used to test "super soaker" events, which in the future will be used to soak up excess electrons when there are abundant renewables on the grid, sunny days, windy days etc. It's not perfect, but it is moving in the right direction.

            @sockpuppy: I understand the need to move away from fossil fuels and obviously it's going to take time. But we also need to look at stability of our grids too, as renewable energy is not always reliable, especially since you mentioned those cold, dark cloudy winter days. Also, Australia is only responsible for 1% of global emissions and if we close one coal fired plant and China builds 2 in the meantime, it's not going to make any difference. We can probably commit to keep our fossils in the ground but Russia, US, Saudi's and rest of the OPEC cartel won't do the same. Any supply shortage from Australia will be instantly replaced and that is the brutal reality unfortunately.

            If you can afford an EV, that's great…but they are still out of reach of the masses. If people find it hard to afford an EV in the first world countries, I can only imagine how long it will take for the third world to come onboard. Change is happening fast but still a long way to go though.

              @Bargainian: They key point is that EVs can be switch on to charge en-masse today with the right chargers/apps installed, thus when there is abundant supply, be high in renewable or when base load demand is low ( 2 am during Victorian winters). With the right price signals the free market will work, I don't want to charge when it costs me 40c/kwh, I want to charge when it costs me 0 or at worst 18c/kwh. I would propose that a Telsa powered by a mix of renewables and brown coal is better than petrol car once all the extraction, shipping, cracking/refining, more shipping has been included. Yes, not perfect, but an improvement.

              Australia exports as well as consumes, so I bet you find we are "responsible" for more than 1%, we are also happy to import a truck load of stuff that has been built on a supply chain heavy in fossil fuels. Yes, I could afford to front up the $$$ roof top solar and a Tesla. Let's face it what we talk about on ozbargain is 99% about consumer goods offerings not basic life needs, so I see it as spending choices. As for low bar of Russia, Saudi, China etc, we don't want to be them, we can do better and set the high bar. If all we can do is keep Australian fossil fuels in the ground in Australia, then the world will be a better place.

              If I were boss of Australia, I would be investing far more in soil organic carbon sequestration, a quadruple whammy of improved water retention, fertility, reduction in land degradation and of course CO2 capture.

                Not many people would be happy for these nations to fund their economy at Australia's expense. Especially when Russia is using any dollar it makes from coal/gas/oil exports to fund its war in Ukraine, kill civilians and bully Europe into submission. I would rather have Europe ban Russian oil/gas and Australia replace the affected supply shortage.

                It's so frustrating to see people talking about ban on oil/gas mining in Australia but no one has concrete plan to replace $90 billion worth of coal/gas export revenue and the jobs in these sectors. We don't have a manufacturing industry and neither do we have robust technology sector. Our prime farmland is owned by Chinese corporations. Our farm produce (barley), dairy, meat, wine and sea food industry is under Chinese import ban. We import everything from needle to cars from China and we want to ban mining of only goods that provide us with a little leverage in bi-lateral trade.

                @sockpuppy: You are so right about us just importing the goods. But you are talking about demand issues, not supply. When people demand products that we cant supply they buy from where they can.

                Using simple maths - using just the energy component of producing these goods (not labor or material) which will need to be produced onshore, would create massive pressure on our grids and production. Plus all the renewable equipment is made overseas so we have to import that.

                So simple solutions arent there. Its like someone works from home, they can charge up at home with solar, others cant unless they dont take their car to work. And when one person charges their car on a cloudy day the grid can handle it. When 50000 do thats a different story.

                And its not just the grids that need to be rewired. Its the houses and apartments. Fast chargers at home require an electrician to install. Its not just plugging in to a power point. In high rise apartments buildings need to be rewired to accommodate not just one or two fast chargers, but in some cases 100's so that everyone can have access. Again sounds simple but its not.

                In California they have at times asked people not to charge their cars as electricity became short. Like toilet paper shortages, as soon as there is a threat to supply people hoard and stock up. Hell its was only paper and we couldn't supply that when demand increased.

                Then there's another million consumers going to come into the country in the next 5 years at exactly the same time we want to reduce demand.

                  Actually, it is as simple as plugging into a GPO (standard powerpoint), I did it for the first 8 months of owning my Tesla. Only later had a hardwired fixed 32amp line installed ($750). Of course, GPO a 10amp would not deliver suitable current for regional owners who are going to do 200kms a day not 200km per week like me.

                  Again, I must state the science is unequivocal, we cannot keep burning fossil fuels at the current rate, we cannot kick the can down the road, fossil fuels need to stay in the ground, we MUST take steps to transition to net zero. Buying an EV like a Tesla is not the solution, but it is part of a solution, we cannot all drive V8 HQ Holdens nor do we want to ( just see them at SummerNats ).

                  On this thread people present lots of obstacles, but that's all they are, all have available actionable solutions. Nothing a giant team of engineers, electricians and project managers couldn't deliver with a boat load of money and a couple of decades. Yes, given it is australia politics, no doubt it will mutate into something like NBN $60B spend to deliver substandard outcomes, except for profits for 1teir contractors.

                  I won't comment any further to this thread. My only recommendation to everyone is that the next time you are in the market for a new car, take an EV like a TeslaY for a test drive, afterwards if a Prado is your choice that really is fine.
