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

    Tesla is the worlds safest car, the worlds fastest car and worlds cheapest car per km ( 0 if you have solar). Unfortunately, not run by the world's best company nor CEO :)

    • krisspy on 06/01/2023 - 15:41

      World's fastest car? Since when?
      Lucid Sapphire and Bugatti chiron begs to differ.

      Any ev car is the cheapest with solar. Technically the kona ev would be cheaper as its more efficient than any Tesla.

        For the 0-100km/h legal australia grand-prix, Tesla wins. In most cases I am at the city speed limit before I have crossed the street from one side to the other.

        Kona would be a good car, give the Y,3 and Kona a test drive. EVs are the way of the future.

      thinking that everyone driving used non luxury vehicles are damaging the environment

      i dont know if its alright for you to assume every tesla or even most tesla drivers think like that, obvious not denying there will be special individuals that like to 'look down on peasants' but that applies to luxury non-ev car owners as well and is certainly not exclusive to tesla owners.

      and INB4 no i dont own a tesla or will think about getting a tesla or any other ev and no i dont like elon neither

    The timing is rather strange.

          hi,

          a bit off topic an sry for the stalk,
          but how did your BAFANG build go? I'm looking to do a conversion of my commuter to cycle to work more this year. I'm drawn to the 1000W model, since I'm quite heavy ~100kg. How's the 750W working for you?

          • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2023 - 17:12

            @ripprind: Fantastic, it's a great engine. 750W is about as powerful as I'd go, these motors have a terrific amount of torque so lots of stress on the bike. On the flat mine sits at 44km/h on full throttle and first gear. The bike weights 22kg and I'm 84kg, so it's moving some weight. Check out the middle picture. That's something they don't tell you about. You have to strap it to the bike, their method is insufficient to keep the engine from bucking when accelerating. You'll figure it out. Good luck with it, it's a fun project. https://imgur.com/a/RU3Ru9D

              Can you give me an indication on the range and your battery size? my work can be up to ~25km away. And can't always charge at work.

              • [Deactivated] on 10/01/2023 - 19:02

                @ripprind: I've got the 17.5Ah battery. Range is a tricky thing to quantify. Depends on the terrain and how hard you push the engine. On flat ground at full throttle (level 5) and not using pedal assist you'll get about 25km @ 40km/h. If you pedal and use engine assist level 3 or 4 you'll get about 60km @ 25-30km/h. These batteries shouldn't be run down low or they don't last very long. Consider 30% capacity left as empty, so buy big.

      For 99% of owners that use case has never occurred, nor is it going to get worse and only better moving forward.

          Hangout in Tesla FB groups, people post their stats every now and then. Most never service their car except air filter and tyre rotation/change :)

            @noshopping: Sure maybe "Plenty" of drivers who hang out in Tesla FB groups, but I doubt if thats's "plenty" of owners period!. Ie a little exaggeration plus there could be "plenty" who arent on FB

            This is not criticising Teslas or their advantage's, just that exaggerations are just that. "Some" maybe a better word to use.

      How much is the fuel savings over the expected life of the battery? Hint it’s more.

    did enhanced autopilot and fsd cop a price increase? $5K/$10K is now $5.1K/$10.1K?

      Probably not relevant to this post to be fair, since you would never buy either of them during the ordering process when they can be ordered OTA after delivery and save on any tax/duty.

      As someone who check that box and paid for it, regrets, would recommend anyone keep their hard earned $$$ in their pocket.

        Thanks, care to share why you regretted it from one ozbargainer to the next? Was hoping there is at least free lane assist in the Tesla Y like in most modern cars.
