      Market pressure? Telsa sells the most popular EV in the world, and they make more profit per car sold than any other car manufacturer.

      If anything, this "market pressure" is going to ensure that Tesla continues to comfortably maintain their front-runner status or force every other manufacturer to sell their competing EVs at a loss.

        Sorry, but BYD overtook Tesla already and its beating Tesla easily in its home Chinese market (which is >60% of global total). Its Tesla that is trying to win market share by selling at much lower margins hoping to compete.

        He's right. EVs simply dont offer the same driving experience. Sure if you want a quieter transit from A to B, it will do its job, but is it an exhilarating, no.

          huh? .. you have a similar psychological issue misaligned with your expectations of performance being associated with vibrating and noisy and loud ICE.

          exhilarating … i guess a loud and noisy V8 without an exhaust is kinda cool .. i dunno .. it is also super annoying times too.

          but yea, the Model 3 Performance at 0-100kmh at 3.3 seconds is pretty exhilarating .. and faster than your car!

            @matt-ozb: EVs are great in a straight line, but when you have to turn you feel their weight (and often the underwhelming brakes) quite significantly. A slightly slower, but still quick, 0-100 time paired with significantly better handling and chassis setup is a better driving package in my opinion. Not to mention Tesla build quality is poor compared to a reputable German product. Sound of 6 or 8 cylinders is great too :)

                @matt-ozb: If you were to look at the laps telematics. Most of the time is made up of fast accel, rather than fast cornering speed and side G forces.

                I'd take the M3 any day than the body roll and pitch of a Model 3 Performance. I also recall they did have to change suspension and some bits to get it to handle for the track for the model 3.

                BTW. E92 m3 is a really old car, i had one and it was fantastic handling, but much slower than my modded 335i of the same era.

                Maybe compare a car of the same era to actually be valid

            @matt-ozb: And I think you're misinterpreting what people talk about when comparing "performance" with ICE / EV's.
            Sure EV's are stupid quick and have instant torque. But I'd rather fang an old (slower) Porsche, MX-5 / GT86 through the hills than do it in a EV.
            Shifting gears, getting on the revs, the sound, knowing the powerband, it's all different in an ICE.

              +2

              @Maz78: Agreed. A manual Porsche is slower around a track than its automatic equivalent but the driving experience is more enjoyable. There is more to driving than just achieving 'stats' like low 0-100 times. An EV is an economical option that detaches you from a traditional driving experience (no noise etc), and as such does not offer the sam enjoyable experience that ICE does. It suffices for point A to B economical travel with the odd straight line lurch from stand still.

        • thousandsuns on 02/07/2023 - 09:23

          People don't buy EVs for exhilarating experience and I'm taking your comment is based on the sound from a combustible engine and the feeling you get from the initial launch.
          Mind you that is not what exhilarating is. An EV will whoop any petrol car any day. The launch on EVs are pretty much instantaneous. It won't make you feel like you're in a race car but it'll give you the speed and push no ordinary petrol car can give.
          Your neg on the deal seems like a salty hatred you've built towards EVs because they don't go vroom vroom.

          Only for standard RWD. LR and performance use cobalt which se people don’t want. Next Tesla models (all of them) will have LFP batteries.

            • Wilson Wallace on 01/07/2023 - 21:15

              @scphotos: LFP. Less battery degradation, can always charge to 100% and cheaper to make. Batteries currently in the performance and long range should only be charged to 80-90% and don’t run it lower than 20%. Usually when going on long drives it’s ok. IMO, LFP will have better resale value long term.

                +2

                @Wilson Wallace: NCM has its pros too, compared to LFP. NCM has a better density, and it has better cold weather tolerance than LFP. LFP can lose some range and regen when too cold.

                • Wilson Wallace on 02/07/2023 - 08:07

                  @noz: Yeah I did read up about that. I guess if you’re living in Australia, LFP might be more suitable. If you’re in the Nordic’s, Canada or extremely cold environments, might be an issue. Seems as though Tesla is making a shift to LFP, Volvo / Hyundai and co still use NMC?

                  • noz on 02/07/2023 - 12:26

                    @Wilson Wallace: It's certainly less of an issue in AU, but it is still there during the cold months if you live in a cold area. It isn't a significant issue though. I'm sure other EV makers will start using LFP for their low to mid km range vehicles but they would want to get their efficiency squared up first. e.g. Polestar is heavy, which affects efficiency and therefore range.

                    • Wilson Wallace on 02/07/2023 - 14:49

                      @noz: The range is all relative. RWD LFP charges up to 100% where the LR and Performance with regards to “range and efficiency” there isn’t much difference as they can only be charged to 80-90% on for a daily. Unless you want to take off very fast, RWD comes out on top and best bang for buck!

    • SitarBoy on 02/07/2023 - 01:22
      +4

      Main reason is as a car its really good value:

      E.g. a Model Y has:

      • Heated seats (all) and heated steering wheel
      • Electric seats with memories and profiles
      • Premium sound system
      • Decent performance
      • Minimal running and maintenance costs
      • Massive amounts of space for storage (800L+)
      • Software updates constantly adding features to the car
      • Great technology, Auto Steer and AutoPilot (FSD coming soon)

      Although the interior and exterior leaves a lot to be desired.

      As for popularity for EV's:
      - Low maintenance costs
      - No fuel costs (people sick of paying out of their a$$ for fuel)
      - Most people dont really drive more than 150kms in a day, the battery is only an inconvenience if youre doing a long journey

            @SitarBoy: how long did you drive the Tesla? If it was your first test drive for 20 mins, then it would feel distracting.

      There are a number of reasons of the top of my head…
      - cheaper fuel than an ICE engine
      - very snappy performance due to instant torque
      - no smelly petrol/diesel
      - many less parts, hence servicing costs are much cheaper
      - new functionality added regularly via software updates
      - tax incentives and rebates

      I have a Tesla Model 3, it wasn't my preferred choice when I started looking for an EV. I spent a lot of time researching, and at the end of the day I found that Tesla is king. Even though it is not the perfect car IMO, no one can beat it in the main things that matter such as efficiency, weight, charging network.

        Sedans are not practical & archaic. Smart choice is hatchback - shorter for parking & more space for bicycles or similar. Extra rear wiper for more frequent distracting rains.

          What.

          That is utterly incorrect - BYD are a bargain brand.

          Extra rear wiper

          Hatchbacks have a rear wiper because they need it. The steeper rear profile means your back window gets coated in road water as you drive along. The shape of the rear literally sucks the spray against the glass.

          Sedans and Coupes generally don't need a rear wiper - the different aerodynamics make the rear glass dry itself as you travel along.

          The stalk gear change is genius in my opinion. If you open your mind for a moment, you'll see that it's a great design decision.

          It makes perfect sense for ease of maneuvering - during parking or 3 point turns, swapping between forward and reverse is a simple flick of a finger so you can keep both hands on the wheel.

          A gear stick for FNR in the centre console is entirely unnecessary and a massive waste of space. The only reason it feels "normal" is because of muscle memory and tradition. The mechanical constraints from yesteryear that dictated the location of a gear selector are long obsolete.

      Go to Tesla app .. and add to cart .. then make payment for $5100 via credit card

      EDIT.. that was answering your question, but agree with comments below

        Also, it’s almost always cheaper to add on afterwards to avoid the luxury car tax

          Luxury Car Tax threshold for EVs has now gone up to 89k for FY 2023/2024 which should be good for anyone wanting to buy the performance or had extras.

      Do some research. Probably not worth it IMO but check it out how it works on Australian roads

        Definitely not worth it. The standard autopilot lane keep us very good and more than enough

    The BYD Seal is facing some tough competition now!

    I really hope this can drive the Seal's launch price down

    Tesla looks ugly.

      Things I can't afford always looks ugly

        Even if I could afford it, I still wouldn't. EV hate asside, Tesla designs are crap in compared to Bimmer or even Kia. Personal preferences are different, so no offence to anyone who is owning a Tesla.

    +1 to Tesla for reducing car prices when every other manufacturer is raising them.

      Agree .. Elon has exceeded NASA engineering with SpaceX .. he knows what he is doing.

    So ICE cars are becoming expensive and EVs are becoming cheaper. Who would have thought?

    Elon Musk

      Very exciting future with quality car manufacturing developing in China .. nice BYD vs Tesla competition.

      Just like the smartphone era with Xiaomi and Oppo and OnePlus and Huawei developing into equal / superior products.

      That dude just limited views on a website that relies on it for ad revenue. He’s not as smart as you think.

  • ilikecheapcrap on 02/07/2023 - 02:36

    Is afterpay accepted, like all my other ozb purchases?

  • webtonmoy on 02/07/2023 - 04:09

    Naive question: Is it possible to buy in QLD, claim the rebate and then bring the car to VIC and re-register there? Will it save any money?

      You can, as long as you have a address in qld. Also you can keep the rego in qld so you can skip road tax

        @webtonmoy u will need a qld drivers licence, i.e. proof of living here.
