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

                    @sockpuppy:

                    Nothing a giant team of engineers, electricians and project managers couldn't deliver with a boat load of money and a couple of decades.

                    There is nothing they can do when the politicians have made nuclear power illegal.

                    And so coal it is.

                        @Igaf:

                        Why doesn’t nuclear power make sense for Australia?
                        1. Nuclear power stations can’t be built anywhere in Australia. They are banned in every state, and in every territory.

                        My exact point lol

                        • Igaf on 12/01/2023 - 11:34

                          @trapper: You weren't implying anything? Coal and gas have places during the transition but both are already far more expensive than alternative, as is nuclear fission power.

                          • trapper on 12/01/2023 - 20:12

                            @Igaf: There is no 'transition' without nuclear power, that is my point.

                            So it's dirty old coal for the foreseeable future.

                            No amount of engineers, electricians and project managers can change that - only our politicians can.

                            • Igaf on 13/01/2023 - 09:33

                              @trapper: We're already in transition, largely thanks to private enterprise and state governments. Nuclear won't be part of that for all the reasons discussed for the last three decades. There are plenty of options for suburban solar and community batteries etc, and models which show a mix of 80-90% renewables backed by gas (/oil) - already in place in SA to a large extent - is viable without massive additional costs. These all require grid upgrades and investment. We have a Future Fund for such things and it's way past time that Australians told politicians to use it to underpin our energy future. It dabbles, but its main objective is to maintain the fund (thankfully, the growth requirement has recently been relaxed) - akin to the quartermaster who won't let the last mission critical item out of the store because then he wouldn't have one in stock. That's the sort of timid and nonsensical mentality we have in federal government politics in this country.

                                @Igaf: It's a pure fantasy that we can stop using fossil fuels without utilising nuclear power. It's not happening and it won't happen. That is the reality.

                                Look at this graph of our power generation over the last week: https://opennem.org.au/energy/au/?range=1d&interval=30m

                                If we want to phase out coal, then we should be planning and building at least 10GW of nuclear generation right now.

                                Even with that we will still be burning a lot of coal during the night.

                                SA is completely dependent on importing electricity from the rest of the country.

                                Even only yesterday night was importing more than half its electricity, another third provided by gas and only 12% renewable.

                                  @trapper: This set by market conditions, SA can run completely independent (as shown earlier this year SA was separated from VIC except for small HVDC connection). In day time SA can export as most of the power is generated cheaply by renewables. At night time SA it's not worth gas gens to spin up at night time as pricing isn't worth it. This is oversimplification but gives basic idea. You can't really look at one state in isolation when connected to the NEM.

        My wife and him like the "Long Range" much better.
        More power, longer range, less chance of required to carry snow chain and is cheaper than the Model Y Performance.

                @buffalo bill: Yes, but he HAS changed notably in terms of political orientation, echoed in his public behaviour and tweets. He's always been a bit of a shit-stirrer, but some of it lately has taken on a more sinister edge, with some evidence of belief in conspiracy theories etc.

                And this past year he's lost more personal wealth than any human in history, around $200 billion (on paper) to date. He thrives on adulation, and a lot of that has disappeared lately. Which would make anybody with a reactionary narcissistic personality like his become more unstable, I suspect.

                  @ayoole: Perhaps your perception of him has changed, but he has not in terms of he was a democrat and is now a republican. He has always championed those who would advance his enterprises. Also, everyone who had assets has lost wealth on paper in the last 12 months & his losses cannot be compared to that of the average wage earner.

            @minijumbuk:

            Why do you care about who the CEO is?

            Because for a car based on a software purchase model a CEO who constantly changes his mind and makes snap decisions can drastically change what features your car has and the experience of using the car.

            @minijumbuk: In the case of Musk, he had to sell a lot of Tesla stock to raise the 44B for the Twitter buyout so if you buy Tesla you're possibly funding whatever bad financial decision that he'll make in the future.

            I don't buy from HN because he suggested a tax which made imports more expensive….even though his stores rely mostly on imported goods from the same sources from where we buy. He said something like he wanted to help Aus businesses be more competitive while knowing that big box stores like his will undercut any small business which sells similar goods.

              @nGu: He also sells the stores their stock, so every item on display he has made his cut on, whether the franchisee discounts it into the red or not.

            @minijumbuk: Because people buy into brands because of what they think it tells the world about them.

            I drive a Kia because it was a good cross section of price and features at the time - and I am happy with the brand on the rise view from 2013 (they were viewed as much cheaper cars before that).

            I'm not keen on MG or Haval for a new car based off that sort of perception - and I am directly in the target demo for Tesla (middle aged, affluent, environment conscious) - but the CEO absolutely has an impact on me.

            Brands matter - and he's shitting in his own pool.

              @tallmantim: What about the other 100,000 people that work at Tesla? Musk isn’t building the cars himself. I don’t agree with his views on a lot of things, and his addiction to twitter is screwing up his life, but fundamentally nothing has changed with Tesla. The cars are fantastic and the company is well run and from what I’ve read a great place to work.

                  @shaybisc: Wow. I initially didn't care who runs the company till I read the Hotcars article.

                  "… Work injuries must be hidden - seeing as the injury rate at Tesla factories is already off the charts, the powers that be stopped recording most workplace injuries on legally mandated logs to keep the injury rate down."

                  If even half the article is true it explains why there are Non Disclosure Agreements.

                  Its the same business principles as why I don't like big clothing brands. Manufacturing that requires low pay and dangerous work environments for their workers. If workers complain about safety hazards or unionise they get sacked.

                      @trentgibbo: Under his leadership, when Tesla has laid off employees, it’s asked them to sign separation agreements including a strong non-disparagement clause with no end-date. These kinds of agreements are not uncommon in the industry, but Musk is far from a free-speech absolutist here.

                      A copy of one such agreement from Tesla, shared with CNBC by a former employee laid off in 2018 (who did not sign the agreement) said:

                      “You agree not to disparage Tesla, the Company’s products, or the Company’s officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents, affiliates and subsidiaries in any manner likely to be harmful to them or their business, business reputation or personal reputation.”

                      In the same document, Tesla required laid off employees to keep details about the separation agreement itself hidden, other than from their own lawyer, accountant or immediate family— not even other workers.

                      https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/25/elon-musk-and-free-speech-tr…

                      “The provisions of this Agreement will be held in strictest confidence by you and will not be publicized or disclosed in any manner whatsoever,” the agreement said. “In particular, and without limitation, you agree not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any current or former Company employee or contractor.”

                      Like most large companies, Tesla also requires workers to sign an arbitration agreement upon employment. That means to speak freely in court, where their speech will become part of a public record, workers need to get an exemption from the arbitration agreement from a judge first.

                @Almost Banned: Could your wrap your head around the fact that for some people it has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the fact he is just an entitled a-hole? Treats people like a resource, calls a hero a pedo because he didnt like his dumb idea, fires people that disagree with him, etc, etc.

                  @Trentgibbo3: I could - except:
                  1. Jumbuk explicitly said it was about politics, and
                  2. I don't see what he has done or said that is new. He called the diver a paedo four and a half years ago, apologised for it, and no-one hated on him for it then the way they seem to now. I doubt he treated people significantly differently in the last year or so to how he treated them while he was a global darling. So, I don't think that any of your examples are truly behind what is happening now.
                  In fact, it feels a lot more like people retroactively justifying their current hatred - basically just another retcon.

                      And the evidence suggests he is correct.

                    You are right on point 2. He isn't treating people differently. He still treats them like crap it's just more out in the open now because 1. He's posting it all on twitter. And 2. His genius saviour allure is wearing off due to all his stuff ups.

          He is neurodiverse, be a little more understanding. Maybe watch Good Doctor and you'll see how they can be a tool.

          At least he doesnt hide that he is a tool like many CEOs. Trust me, most of them are in private.

            When some appear to me to be awful, for example Harvey Norman, then I’ll choose to spend my money elsewhere.

            As a result of musk showing who he is on Twitter (had suspicions previously - ie pedo tweet) I absolutely won’t buy a Tesla. There’s plenty of choice coming so it’s simple to switch.
