I don't know if this has been posted before. Anyway, I came across this article and I thought I share it to whoever might be interested.

The offer is limited to three used stocked models including:

  • Model 3
  • Model S
  • Model X

The free supercharging incentive is paired to a Tesla account of the purchaser of one of these used models and can not be transferred to another owner if the car is sold in the coming months.

Exclusions include the purchase of any new or used vehicle, purchase via a business fleet or the use of a vehicle for commercial purposes (e.g. rideshare or rental service operations).

===========

5,000 km Free Supercharging
Customers who order and take delivery of a Used Model 3, Model S or Model X by September 30th, 2023, are eligible for Free 5,000 km Supercharging.

              @FuRyZ: I love EVs. I just think this deal is a joke because if you supercharge so much, then just drive a ICE and save your time. If you don't supercharge like yous all at home chargin and living the life, then one doesn't need this deal.

              On the other hand, if you can afford a Tesla then this $300 is nothing to you. If you afford a Tesla then you will use your Pajaro Diesel for long trips anyways so supercharging not needed.

              Either way it's a dud deal. Definitely not OZB worthy.

        …but I can charge my car at home whilst I sleep. At 8.4c/kw on OVO’s EV plan that makes it about $5 for a full battery. That’s 2L of 98 octane fuel, which is what the car I replaced it used. How far does 2L get me? 25km? I never have to worry about trying to lock in/refill at the cheapest price or having to line up at a servo. Sure, if I do a long road trip I have to use a supercharger, but that’s like twice a year.

    • Naigrabzo on 26/09/2023 - 20:26

      To be fair they do have about 35 in Australia form what I could count on the website. Tesla without doubt have the best charging infrastructure and their cars are quite compatible and convenient. Just that $300 value is just a joke and not really a deal worth Ozbargain. Maybe a good one for the fan bois to talk about their Teslas over a beer or something.

    what is this really worth in $$$ , and do people make an impulse buy on a used Tesla for that amount ? probably not. You wouldn't impulse buy an ICE used $30,000 car because it comes with $1100 free petrol, oh and you can only fill up at selected service stations.

      It's worth a few hundred bucks, depending on the model.

      I agree that it's not much of a deal, but if you're looking at used Teslas and one includes this offer, it might help to tip the scales in their direction.

      I assume the main purpose of this promotion is to boost awareness that Tesla also sells used models, which I assume are sourced from trade-ins for a new model.

    • entropysbane on 26/09/2023 - 14:42

      It’s good advertising, a promotion. It probably isn’t a bargain in the strict sense. Personally I would ask for the discount on the cost of the vehicle instead.

        • Naigrabzo on 26/09/2023 - 20:31

          I would avoid used performance models like the plague. I have a friend who has M3 performance. Drives like crazy and he plans to get rid of once the 4 years are up or slightly before. It's much fun to ride in that car.

          When that car is listed, there will be no evidence for the abuse he has given it. Battery apparently will be 101% as someone here as mentioned. Good luck if someone here buys that car.

          Different story for yours though.

          But then, after paying 30k more for performance model, can we entice you with $300 in this deal. ;)

            Have had the car since March and haven't paid to charge it anywhere outside home yet, where I pay 8c/kwh or roughly $5 for a "full tank" :)

    • Switchblade88 on 27/09/2023 - 15:43

      If you assume 20kWh/100km efficiency, and 20c/kWh offpeak charging at home, this is worth $200.

      It's not a trap - that's pure hyperbole.

      Tesla can offer their used vehicles at whatever price they like. If they don't sell, no doubt they will have to reduce their prices to meet the market. I agree that their used prices are a bit too high, compared to what they're selling for privately.

      There are 400-odd Supercharger stalls in Australia in 69 locations, according to their website. That's not massive in the overall scheme of things, but it's still bigger than the other networks.

      As for selling outdated models - you do realise these are used cars, right?

      Not sure what you mean about superchargers not supporting the Model S or X - got a source?

      • tp0 on 26/09/2023 - 14:21
        +1

        Most Superchargers only have CCS2 cables. The Model S and X have a Type 2 port with a non-standard fast charging setup.

        I would imagine most Model S and X owners have adapters though.

      • entropysbane on 26/09/2023 - 14:46

        I have not really come across a substantial number of used EVs before. I wonder if the battery has been reconditioned, or if there are stats that tell you what capacity the battery is now operating at? That would be something to know when choosing between a couple of used EVs. Probably more important than actual kms travelled. You would pick the one with a higher capacity.

        • team teri on 26/09/2023 - 15:15
          +1

          Those are very good questions. I'm pretty sure batteries don't get reconditioned (except in the very rare case of a warranty claim).

          It would definitely be good if battery SOH is mandatory information that has to included in used car listings.

          Problem is: SOH is to a large degree merely an educated guess. Other than fully charging and then fully discharging a battery while measuring capacity (in a lab/garage, not on the road), there's now way to actually know.

          The information displayed on a screen for some cars or ready out via OBD2 for others is just an approximation. One that appears to be even harder with the new LFP batteries than with the old NMC ones.

          My own car appears to be unable to determine SOH, and someone in their infinite wisdom decided to program a linear decrease of the reported SOH value of about 0.01% every single day. 3.7% a year. 26% in 7 years. It's quite easy to see why they picked that seemingly random value: it means the reported SOH value is guaranteed to remain above the warranty cut-off of 70%.

          At the moment my car (on OBD2) reports 96% battery SOH. In actual fact the SOH is still a lot closer to 100%. I have not noticed any degradation or loss of range since it was new. I consistently get very close to WLTP range in a mix of freeway & city driving in good conditions (mild days with little wind).

          With the previous car the reduction in range when SOH was 96% was noticeable. That one had a NMC battery, which appears to make it easier to estimate SOH from measurements during normal operation.

          • Naigrabzo on 26/09/2023 - 15:56

            @team teri: Point taken. There are no known physics to support the claim that your battery has not deteriorated though. I take your point that your estimate is 100% still remaining and OBD2 reports 96%.

            • team teri on 26/09/2023 - 16:06

              @Naigrabzo: No, there isn't any objective measurement to back up the 'close to 100%' claim I'm making, just the subjective evidence that with the previous model the deterioration to 96% was was noticeable, and I can't notice anything yet with this one.

              On the other hand it is highly unlikely that a battery's capacity declines in a straight line by 0.01% every single day. And it is even less likely that anyone could measure it to that degree of accuracy. That means I know for a fact that the value reported by OBD2 is not an accurate reflection of actual SOH.

              The old car btw: didn't drop at all for the first year, then started declining a little every month or 6 weeks, with some variation in the amount it dropped. That looked like actual measurements took place after the first year. In the first year I believe it internally started out over 100% (around 103% or so), including some of the buffer that never gets used, and just always reported 100% as long as it was still over that threshold.

                @team teri: Fair call.

                I don't think even Tesla can defy physics. I wish it could though come with 1000km range and 5 minute charge.

                The point here is that these vehicles are end of 'life' because it's close to 4 years old. Warranty will run out at 4 years and you could into a whole world of hurt if anything breaks. Screen 4k for example. Major battery issue 30k etc etc.

                I bet these vehicles have been driven exactly like a Nissan skyline or Subaru WRX. They are fun and I know close friends whom are very meek drivers who go cray cray on these.

                If I had plenty of money this is how I would play. Get a tesla every 3.5 yrs. Abuse and Unload before warranty runs out.

                  +1

                  @Naigrabzo: I don't drive Tesla. The brand I drive gives 7 years warranty on everything, not just the battery.

                  I wouldn't think a 4 year old Tesla is end of life either. The battery certainly isn't, even Tesla gives a longer warranty on that most important bit. And there are plenty of WRX on the road that aren't worn out after 10 years or more. No transmission to crunch gears and no combustion engine to over-rev mean that a Tesla, even if driven fast, will be in a lot better shape than an ICE.

                  As with any used car, YMMV, but most will run for a lot closer to 20 years than 4. That includes current EVs. The brands I'd stay away from in that area are Nissan - building cars without battery cooling is a beginner's mistake, and Toyota: they have almost nothing to offer, because they missed the boat.

                    @team teri: I agree with the sentiment.

                    Totally agree on Toyota; what a joke for their EVs. I love their ICE though. Maybe they will come through with this SOLID state battery but I doubt it.

                    Nissan don't know much about but agree on BMS being very important.

                    While WRX etc will last many years, I would not buy a WRX second hand that's all. I know for a fact it's been abused like hell.

                    You say 20 years because you want to believe. There is no way that current physics allows for a battery to last 20 years in any circumstance. Hell if I park it for one month at the airport to go overseas etc that could spell certain disaster especially in winter. Simple things can get very complicated with EVs regardless of the brand.

                    TBH if I ever bought a EV it would be Tesla though. Not because they gave me $300 super charging though. This is insulting and better off not getting this. Most other EVs have to line up at CHARGEFOX or whatever and hope for the best that it's working. Otherwise it's Tow time. Try driving between Sydney and Melbourne and check your blood pressure.

          Do they include your own home? Because that's where 90% of charging an EV is typically done.

          The idea of charging networks is to provide convenient locations to quickly charge at either a destination (hotel, shopping centre) or at regular spacings along public highways.

          You generally don't need a fast charging station close to your house, you need them 300km away along roads you commonly travel on.

            @klaw81: I don't include my own home for super charging. Now that WOULD interest me given that I have 15kw solar and 3 phase. But it will still have to be 100% in 5 minutes. I am willing to give it extra 2 minutes than my current vehicle. Only Tesla warriors have nothing else to do that super charge constantly when travelling long distance. Even worse for Volvo etc who has depend on broken down chargers FOX.

            This applies especially to long trips as super charging is used in that circumstance these days. I can drive my RAV4 continuously from Sydney to Melbourne given two drivers. 2022 model has 1000km range.

              @Naigrabzo: Here's the truth:

              Driving an EV requires a slightly different way of thinking about range.

              Unless your car is constantly on the road and your commute is super long, charging time is simply not a factor. It is utterly irrelevant.

              In practical terms, it takes 30 seconds to charge at home - 15 seconds to plug in, and another 15 seconds to unplug before you leave. The intervening time is utterly meaningless under almost any circumstances. The car just charges when you are parked at home. It's not costing you time.

              EVs are not for everyone (yet).

              If you need to a ute, or often tow big loads, or regularly travel long distances in a single day, just don't buy an EV. It doesn't suit you, and it would be impractical. And that's okay; nobody thinks less of you.

              My previous car was a turbo-diesel hatch that had 1000km range. And that was a cool theoretical concept, but in several years of owning it, I never drove more than 400km in a day. So while I had it, I never took advantage of that feature and didn't care two hoots when my new car had only 400km of range instead.

              I've driven from Brisbane to Sydney to Melbourne and hated it. I've driven from Brisbane to Mt Isa and back, and hated it. I don't care to ever do that kind of thing again; long distance driving drives me insane. And there are plenty of people like me who don't drive long distances and don't care about having long range. If I ever have to travel long distance again, I'm either flying, or driving in several stages with substantial breaks in between.

              I've seen your previous comments on other posts, and I'm aware of your reservations. You don't think an EV would suit you. That's okay; you don't have to buy one. You're clearly not in the target market for this deal, just like I don't want an inflatable paddleboard. But I don't get into the paddleboard comment section and berate people for considering buying one.

              TLDR: please give it a rest.

                @klaw81: I agree with your comment except for a couple of things.

                You don't actually get 400km range in a EV. If that's true that means I can drive from Sydney to Canberra without prolonged charging stops. You waste so much time with this.

                I am berating anyone here. Just pointing out the facts.

                When I own a car, I expect to just go wherever without constantly thinking about charging etc. I also want to just park anytime anywhere for example 4 weeks at the airport in the middle of winter/outdoors. These are very normal things for motor vehicles.

                I don't drive very long range either but when I do, I want my car to perform. I don't have money to burn on one EV (for home shopping etc) and one ICE (for real trips) as recommended by most EV career youtubers.

                This is certainly food for thought for people who want to use this $300 deal which will probably take you 30 minutes x 30 = 900 minutes to realise.

                  @Naigrabzo: When I drive 400km in my diesel car, I stop at 200km and take a 20 minute break for a food and toilet stop.

                  When I drive 400km in my EV, I stop at 200km and take a 20 minute break for a food and toilet stop, and the car charges for those 20 minutes and gives me another 100km of range.

                  Time lost: zero. It makes not a jot of difference, except that it's cheaper.

                  I spent a very long time considering this exact issue, doing research about the possible issues and examining my own usage to be sure that going electric was going to work for me. I even considered a late model hybrid RAV4 as an alternative, which is a lovely car to drive but I dislike SUVs. And I'm 100% happy with my decision. I am yet to encounter a single situation that was even vaguely inconvenient.

                  So - thanks for presenting "the facts" to everyone here. I'm sure we all learned a lot from this exchange.

                    @klaw81: Hi, Point taken if you drive alone; to an extent.

                    I definitely don't need a 20 minute break every 200km. 5 mins is enough. What's 15 minute here and there. What's best is that with an ICE I can drive anywhere anytime without worry about whether the charger is functional or whether it's lit at night etc. I can leave it in the airport and just drive back when I get home.

                    The equation changes if you have two drivers. Now my 2022 RAV4 has unlimited range. One can drive and the other can sleep for two hours if they want.

                    Of course people are very happy with their EVs yourself included. Most won't stop talking about them. :)

                    Now if this discount was 10k, this may change the equation considerably. Everything has a price. Just the EVs currently are far too pricey for many many compromises. $300? This is hardly a discount rather spitting on the face of potential consumers.

                      @Naigrabzo: I think you've managed to convince yourself that you're the only one speaking sense and everyone else is crazy.

                      Your charging habits don't directly correlate to your refilling habits.
                      EVs don't charge up at the end of every week like you do for petrol/diesel.
                      They should be charging at every opportunity to keep it topped up, seeing as it can be done unattended.

                      Most of the higher range EVs are doing 400-500kms without much drama.
                      You do your 400ish km's, you take a 30-40 min pit stop to stretch your legs and use the toilet.
                      You hop back in and continue on for another 200+ km's to your destination.

                      For 99% of people, that is your yearly road trip situation summed up in a nutshell.
                      Everything else is a moot point since you're charging as you sleep.

                      As for this deal, it's literally just a token gesture.
                      As you probably noticed, there are far more buyers than there are available cars.
                      They don't need to offer anything and the cars would still sell out.

      The superchargers do allow for charging Model S&X with an adaptor from Tesla, it's like $500 to install and I'd be surprised if they didn't retrofit the adapter to these models.

      As for the outdated models comment, Australia is not getting new gen Model S and X. Also, your software is always up to date with the current gen.

      • boomramada on 26/09/2023 - 15:05

        Currently $0.51 per kilowatt-hour
        1kwh can travel around 7.5-10km?
        so around $300+ for 5K?

        • mrvaluepack on 26/09/2023 - 15:12

          So its like a 0.1% incentive? Lol

        • wildstone on 26/09/2023 - 15:19

          If 1kwh can travel up to 10km, let's say 10km to give the benefit of the doubt, it means 100km = $5.10.

          For an ICE, fuel consumption is typically 5-6 litter per 100km, so approximately $10-$12 for $2 per litter fuel.

          Is my calculation correct? That means the consumption price for Tesla is roughly half of the that of ICE then.

            @wildstone: The calculation depends on the price of electricity at home.

            My calculations show approx $4.80 per 100km for a Model 3, based on 25c per kWh tarrif. Compared to real world average of $12.60 per 100km for a pretty economical Mondeo TDCi (my previous car). So it's about 40% of the energy cost.

            I'm currently changing electricity suppliers to take advantage of EV-friendly rates for charging during off-peak, which would bring me to about $1.50 per 100km, and a genuine 90% saving over the Mondeo.

            The other major saving is in servicing costs.

                @Naigrabzo: Last I checked electric motors are 80+% efficient at turning electrical energy into mechanical energy whereas ICE would be lucky to push 40%.

          Closer to 63-70c/kWh at the moment depending on the site. It's about 7 km/kWh. So $450-500 worth.

    Ozbargain is become more ad infected, just so everyone knows that u can turn these off:

    Just turn off banner ads in your account settings
    And targeted or sub related bargains

    • Moderatorscrimshaw on 26/09/2023 - 16:06

      A better idea would be to simply hide the Tesla tag. To do so, just click the Tesla Inc brand tag, hit the Ellipsis button and check both Hide boxes.

      These deals are shared by members of our community, you shouldn't expect everyone to have the same interests / tastes in cars and it's unrealistic to expect every deal posted by the public to be relevant to you.

      If you'd rather not see deals posted by a specific member or even a store you can also hide them using the Hide link underneath the deal.

      Read the full guide on how to customize Ozbargain to your liking — we put a lot of effort into editing and tagging deals so that these options work properly.

      That means very little kms driven. How long would it take for you to ROI? This is like me gloating that I don't have electricity bills. Which is true. Infact I got paid about $1200 profit so far. Does that mean it's all good. No. I paid upfront and ROI many years….. MANY.

      • Deviner on 27/09/2023 - 08:21

        Once per week would be 400ish km.
        That's 20,000km per year which is pretty much the average, no?

        • Naigrabzo on 27/09/2023 - 11:34

          Would be interesting to calculate how long it will take to break even compared to ICE vehicle. Who knows maybe the moolah favours EV? Dunno.

          Regardless though, if you only supercharge infrequently, this deal is null and void. It's like getting a giftcard for a store and not being able to use it.
