            @freefall101: Do you have any idea how useless solar panels on vehicles are?

            • freefall101 on 01/07/2023 - 15:51

              @DryScissors: To power the entire vehicle? Useless. To reduce the life time running cost of a bus? Useful. There was a company putting solar panels on existing buses already because they save over a thousand litres of diesel a year - the payback period is quite small. And with buses needing to worry less about aerodynamics and generally being exposed to the sun all day (roads are rarely covered by trees) it'd have a pretty quick payback period.

              Something the size of a bus roof can generate up to 2kw on a sunny day. Average say 8kwh a day for a year, 3,000kwh a year, saves $800 or so a year in grid electricity.

                Where are you getting these figures from ? For starters busses are always changing their position relative to the sun, putting panels on a moving vehicle of any kind is plain stupid because the panels will by definition be pointing the wrong way most of the time.

                  @CowFrogHorse: https://sonomotors.com/site/assets/files/6481/230421_solar_i… - these guys say 7.7kwh on an e-bus. Since they're based in Germany it'd probably be higher for a bus running in Australia.

                  Also you put the panels flat. Not the highest efficiency but you only lose 10% or so. Then the only way they're pointing the wrong way is when the bus is upside down or on it's side.

          Don’t laugh. I live on the goldy and the main bus route from the airport to broadbeach (the 777) is all electric. They had to build a new depot to service them though. Not sure of any other announcements here but in NSW they are replacing all 8000 of their buses with electric by 2035 and aren’t buying any new diesel / gas buses. Any new buses are electric in NSW.

                              And whatever we do STILL makes ZERO difference. And if doing something makes ZERO difference, why would you do anything. Especially if it's going to cost bucketloads of money and lead to energy shortages.
                              I have friends that work in the generation industry and they are making a killing with all the renewable energy projects that are coming online. They also tell me that, despite the hundreds of billions that are going to be spent, it's just not going to work without coal and gas and will lead to energy shortages and greenouts. You can continue to believe in the fantasy that renewables in Australia will save the planet, but it's just not true.

        • garage sale on 22/07/2023 - 10:19

          The shame for Australia isn't how much emissions we generate, its emissions per person which is highest in the world, yes per person we generate more emissions than a person in China, or USA ….. so its hard to tell USA or china to generate less per person.

          Prior to the Ukraine special military action, the EU was tabling taxing imports from high polluting countries …. the Ukraine war has put that on hold as supply chains are broken, but once peace comes to europe it will get traction again, protects EU jobs from high polluttng countries.

        What about the methane released? Remember when all that methane led us into unrestrained global warming and we all died because we didn't pay more taxes to the government?

    Very good price, why is there an order fee of $400?

            @matt-ozb: Read carefully - $400 nonrefundable fee.
            They changed it

              @virtualds: I bought the Tesla … novated lease pays the full price .. Tesla refund the $400

              sorry .. my comments were a bit short to explain clearly.

              @virtualds: It has been this way, you cancel it you lose it. But if you keep your order then this 400 will be deducted onto the final invoice.

              • matt-ozb on 01/07/2023 - 14:17

                @alo1234: yea .. i know .. i ordered 2 Tesla …

                cancelled one and lost $400.

                bought the other one on a novated lease and $400 is refunded.

    • ranma241 on 01/07/2023 - 14:00

      If they waived the order fee then I order one lol

    Wow M3P now under LCT so eligible for the new EV novated lease incentives!

      Exactly! When the facelift Model 3 comes soon I'll be pricing up the tax dodge!

    • digitalane on 01/07/2023 - 15:56

      Even with on roads? $89k is new threshold right?

  • johnwinkle on 01/07/2023 - 13:50

    I heard they cheaped out on their models USS in the last 1-2 years, which explains why theyre decreasing the prices so much. The builds are probably even worse now than their reputation from a few years ago

    • drprox on 01/07/2023 - 13:54

      From what I understand the build quality isn't worse but the spec is in some ways and they're always looking to cut more out of it!

      Panel gaps are the worst. When ever i see one in person i cringe at the gaps i see.

      • Maz78 on 01/07/2023 - 14:22

        Agreed. Still remember years ago when they were first showing off the Model Y in Melbourne Central. Sales guy was telling me how awesome it was. Then I ran my pinky finger from the top of the hatch and watched as it disappeared towards the bottom / latch section. Ray Charles would have done a better job at lining the panels up!

        • Wizard on 01/07/2023 - 14:37

          When they pump out huge volumes some corners get cut. In Tesla's it's build finish quality.

          • tp0 on 01/07/2023 - 16:57

            @Wizard: Toyota and VW don’t seem to have a problem. That’s real volume.

      It seems you like hypothesising without any grounds. Nice lol

    • Ibz on 02/07/2023 - 06:53

      That's for US factory models. We get ours from the Chinese factory which is still using USS sensors. Once the Chinese factory stops using USS sensors then I would say its not worth buying them. If you're going for the Model Y though, then you're better off getting an ionic 5 for a similar price

    VIC's gov cut off the zev subsidy. Otherwise, I will order one.

      not only did the media not report Vic Labour gov cutting the $3000 ZEV, today the Vic gov also increased the ZLEV charge to 2.8/c per km.

      More than 2000 other taxes, fees, charges, levies and fines automatically increased in Victoria today to not help with cost of living pressures.

      The $100 registration fee discount for ZLEV is not automatically increased and has never been increased since it was announced

        Victoria is not the place to be anymore. Govt is ripping us off at every corner.

        Whether that’s increased stamp duty for houses above $2m, increased land value that translates into rates, or the new landlord levy that will get passed onto the renters.

        • jaimex2 on 01/07/2023 - 16:49

          There's way more than that.

          Everything has increased. Fines, Metro, CityLink, rego.

          Massive government downsizing and project cancellations.

          I'm just happy all the stay at home morons are getting their bill.

          Its time to pay for covid.

          I left for Queensland like everyone else that could.

            @jaimex2: Enjoy the rising costs in QLD. More people, more competition and needs for services. You’re gentrifying QLD and pricing the locals out of the market.

      • random101 on 02/07/2023 - 06:50

        Ahh and Andrews can’t do no wrong.

        Funny how his looking at an out once it’s well and truly (profanity) it.

        That Westgate project is criminally bad / useless.

        In any case - more unmarked safety cameras!! As the death toll keeps rising - wait what?

        Okay maybe more free licences!!! Just get yours from the weetbix packet today.

      Am I misreading the website or was it extended to 1 May next year?

      Genuine question as I was under the same impression.
