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

    I don't see EV adoption becoming dominant at this price point in Australia. Maybe next decade, you can still get hybrids way cheaper and not to mention lithium prices are still sky high. Need the price to fall to $35-40k for mass uptake.

          Normally I say not every buyer cares about resale value if they run it to the ground anyway. But being an ev and uncertainty of battery health, I think it is something people would be more careful of.

    I wouldn't buy one either, EVs need another half a decade to be refined and for the infrastructure to catch up here in Australia

    • drprox on 06/01/2023 - 16:38

      I agree. Can already see those very early adopters who enjoyed exclusive use of public superchargers sitting in lines waiting for a very long "refuel". We will get there but a ways off.

    • maxbon on 06/01/2023 - 17:07

      Not really no. Most people exclusively recharge at home and don’t even use public charging stations. The cars themselves are certainly more “refined” than any gas guzzler.

      Time to part ways with some misinformed opinions. These aren’t golf carts.

      • drprox on 06/01/2023 - 17:11

        The queues at fast chargers nationwide say otherwise. Agree 95% of charging will be at home for 95% of people but that 5% could be pretty painful..

      • FeZZa21 on 06/01/2023 - 18:29

        over minimalistic dash and crappy sound proofing is misinformed? other similarly priced EVs provide a better experience than a base Tesla. I'll let the early adopters iron out all the issues first thank you :) for now I'll stick with my refined Audi diesel suv that does over 900km per tank. But if I was to get an EV today, I'd seriously look at Volvo or Hyundai instead, and salary package it through work for even more savings due to recent EV legalisation changes.

          Same/same. I/Wife own 2021 versions of both RAV4 and Model 3. No noticeable difference in material and build quality. Both great cars that serve different purposes in our household.

            @Dogsrule: The company infamous for poor workmanship and quality is same/same as a company famous for the exact opposite?

            You must either have an incredible Tesla or a god awful Toyota

            I did hear the Chinese ones are better and I've never seen one of those up close, so perhaps it's not as big of a gap as it used to be. You can still spot the panel gaps across the block though haha

    • maxbon on 06/01/2023 - 17:05
      +3

      Larger than a RAV4. And you’re not at the whim of the oil industry. Whether or not it works out financially will depend on your circumstances. If you can recharge at home from solar panels, it’s most certainly going to be cheaper quite quickly.

      • drprox on 06/01/2023 - 17:24

    It’s funny reading all these comments about Tesla cars… the selling point of Tesla is not the automotive engineering but the software data driven engineering and driving experience. Not other car company can’t compete, they are just not setup like that.

    • maxbon on 06/01/2023 - 17:02

      How is the driving experience better/different from EVs by other manufacturers? Honestly the only advantage that I see is their charging network. That’s a biggie if you need to charge a lot while underway. Not so much if you’re only charging at home.

    • drprox on 06/01/2023 - 17:12

      What about if you don't want a manufacturer that can't obsolete your car when they feel like it?

    • DingoBilly on 06/01/2023 - 17:26

      Oh? I think people are realizing that they're just a bad car company at end of day, and the tech is nothing special. See this article for example:

      There is also Rivian

    • ozaym on 07/01/2023 - 10:09

      I don’t think they are great cars, but CEO of GM recently admitted they have revolutionised QA in the car industry, they features is probably 2-3 years ahead of anyone else, their safety standard was the highest tested of any car.

      For someone like myself who uses a car as a tool as opposed to passion it’s got pretty much everything I need, now at a slightly lower price.

      Wouldn’t mind a Rivian, they are much more pricier?

      • icomeforthecomments on 08/01/2023 - 13:46

        Well the Rivian R2S (SUV) which is expected to be the global selling Rivian product (a la MY) is set to have a 40-60k USD price upon launch - which will be a direct competitor to the MY (which should have reduced in price by the time the Rivian launches). Unfortunately, as the R2 platform doesn't launch till 2026, we are not expected to get them in Oz for at least 3-4 years :(

  • brettepi on 06/01/2023 - 16:58

    • hippyhippy on 06/01/2023 - 17:44

      There is no servicing cost. Running cost depends on how you charge.

    • noshopping on 06/01/2023 - 17:47
      +3

      Generally $0
      The only thing you're required to do is change air filters (which you can do easily yourself) and possibly get the tyres rotated every 10K
      https://www.tesla.com/en_au/support/vehicle-maintenance

      Tesla recommends you check brake fluids every 2 years, but besides that, there's basically no need to service it every 6 months like ICE cars.

    • LSGH on 06/01/2023 - 17:49
      +3

      their website says zero servicing except for tyre rotation and wiper blades…electric motors only have 20 parts…fossil fuel engines have up to 2,000 parts which tend to break just after their warranties..unless you own a camry

    • Bypass on 06/01/2023 - 17:51

      Almost nothing, the cabin air filter($26) needs replacing every 2 years. Apart from that tyres, brake fluid when its required.

      I upgraded from a 2020 Tiguan R-Line, and can say that the build quality is far superior to VW. Its about on par to my previous Audi A3.
      It’s a fantastic car and I’ve had zero issues.
      Ride quality is also smoother, I’ve got the 20” wheels and I can say without question the ride is better than my old R-Line Tiguan also with 20” that had adaptive chassis control.

      Not really…. There's a reason why people love a certain product and rave about it.

      People raved about SSDs coming from HDD.
      They raved when touchscreen iPhones came out, as most still had BlackBerry's and Nokias with keypads.

      People love Tesla because it's like a computer on wheels. The EV part is just an extra bonus/feature.
      Every Tesla has an inbuilt mobile sim, and the cars are constantly updated with new free features.
      Compare that to most ICE cars, where the only thing that gets regular updates is the GPS software.

      Buying a Tesla is like buying a Samsung vs Chinese brand phone. They keep making it better with updates, whereas most Chinese Android phones have 0 updates.

        If you do any research at all you'd pick something like the Kia EV6 or Hyundai Ioniq over this for a similar price given their much better build quality and better features. Not to mention you're not associated with Tesla/Elon Musk.
