Just noticed a price drop on all models. According to this article, all models are down by $3400.
I mainly posted this deal to ignite another Tesla flame war, although feel free to buy a high yield investment product with it if you wish :D
Tesla Model 3 base prices: RWD $60,900, Long Range $73,900, Performance $86,900
Order fee: $400
Delivery fee: $1,000
State-based on-road cost & stamp duty: variable
State-based EV incentives: variable
I’m interested in what charging cables/fast charging setup ozbargainers are using? I have 3 phase power at home.
I just use the Tesla Wall Connector. Cheaper than the alternatives and high quality.
Tesla Wall Connector is $750 (plus you need to pay a sparky to install) and can charge 50-80km an hour (depending on setup etc). The Tesla Mobile Connector is around $550 (often referred to as granny charger) and can only charge around 10km an hour, but you can take this one with you and use any standard outlet so don't need to pay to have it installed. It depends on how much you are driving, on the forums most people recommend the Mobile Connector unless each day you are doing more than 100km.
Thanks. I am kind of thinking the mobile one will be enough but we may end up with a Tesla and a Polestar 2 so perhaps a faster wall charger for home would be handy. Also Im not sure if you need a super charger cord when on a road trip? Am wondering if there’s a cheaper “ozbargain” alternative to the genuine ones as there seems to be a multitude of 3rd party options available?
I use a 32a 5 pin adapter to UMC charger. Cheaper than getting the wall charger + installation.
If you end up getting a tesla, you can use the superchargers on a road trip. You don’t need any additional cables.
Did you have solar? If so, you can utilise your excess solar to charge your tesla at home as well.
@Heybargain: So unfortunately I don’t yet have solar but that does seem like a good idea. I am wondering if using non- genuine parts somehow voids your Tesla warranty?
Don't need another cord for Tesla DC superchargers, however other chargers etc can vary.
Do Elon sheep simps remember how he was during the Covid time?
Without the fake memes he just another ass(profanity)hole businessman.
Tesla model 3 is the cheapest EV in Australia?
nope
take a look at the MG ZS EV or BYD Atto 3
I haven't read through this thread but want to warn people the quality of these cars is still rubbish with huge uneven gaps between doors, plus many other items which you can goggle for yourself
Mainly for US built vehicles. Ones coming out from Shanghai sold here in AU don't have many issues.
I found this strange, maybe YouTube has focused me on mainly American creators but I don't think I have come across many Aus drivers showing poor quality in their videos.
And wot.. made in China quality > USA? I'll have one of those humble pies please….
Glad they are spending up on quality control in the shanghai factory
US built cars have problems, Shanghai/Berlin built are easily the equal of Japanese built Toyota's.

More leaks on next gen M3, love the integrated dash, not a fan of the current infotainment. https://twitter.com/notateslaapp/status/1646635655378751495?….
I’d wait for the refresh…

Update: this dash is not from Project Highland. Someone reached out to us saying they created the video and they received inaccurate information.
Thanks op bought one each
More price drops coming?

Maybe. Though they don’t largely need to cut any further here to be competitive.
But anyway if the price drops before delivery you get the new price.
And not on the Base Model Y, as it is $900 too much.
Most likely this will be met soon with the next price cut.
if the rumored model 2 comes out in 2024 for the 25k USD (37k AUD) then see a massive increase in EVs I woudl say fuel is not getting any cheaper and with the large amount of FREE tesla chargers and free public chargers you can go to these days I would say it costs you next to nothing to run a tesla.
so glad i didn't buy one…needs another 2-3 years and a $20k price drop… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOSg8lS_sIY
This is model Y review. Not model 3.

How to find out the companies in the Tesla corporate program?
Improved suspension on 2023 model Y built vehicles. I don’t find any issues with last years but it’s subjective.
USS hasn’t been removed from our Shanghai built cars.
