    In other words they could charge a lower price but instead they'll give away free stuff at the start so they can charge the same price and pocket the profit while also not tanking eoples resale value. Meh. Geely are not aonown brand in Australia. They need to start with cheaper pricing and work their way up the totem pole.

            @cloudy: Being a Tesla driver had its issues long before Musk made a gesture vaguely reminiscent of a certain salute. You'll find it's the case no matter what you drive - Jeep drivers are aggressive, range rover drivers entitled and selfish, BMW drivers don't use their indicators etc etc etc. If someone out there is stupid enough to base how they treat another person based on what they drive they're going to do it regardless of the vehicle. Just make the choice that's best for your needs.

            • Morven on 12/03/2025 - 15:54

              @thatguyfromthatplace: His gesture was a heil Hitler salute, nothing less. I'm sure it was just done for trolling reasons, but it's what it is. He's the CEO of Tesla. People are going to have a long-term negative reaction to anything associated with him, and that's a consideration for me when buying a car.

    Does anyone know the servicing schedule and what’s done? I thought electric cars would have minimal servicing, if any. If I recall a mate of mine owns a Tesla Y and said he does not need to do any servicing?

    • checkedout on 12/03/2025 - 18:19

      There are still a lot of serviceable items in EV, not just the motor and batteries

      [took from above Tesla post]

      Brake fluid health check every 4 years (replace if necessary)*. - 1/4 per year
      Cabin air filter replacement every 2 years. -1/2 per year
      Clean and lubricate brake calipers every year or 12,500 miles (20,000 km) if in an area where roads are salted during winter. - 1 per year
      Rotate tires every 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater, whichever comes first. - 1 per year

      So even on the so called minimum Tesla servicing, you end up with 2.75 above items per year, so on average probably 200-300 per year. Geely might be cheaper if these items are included in the servicing schedual.

      • Aureus on 12/03/2025 - 19:32

        You don't need to do any of those things to keep your warranty with a Tesla.

        Cabin filter replacement is a 3 minute job. It is a good idea to check your brakes, considering you may go 200k between brake pad/rotor replacement.

      • bluey47 on 13/03/2025 - 09:43

        Tesla encourages you to do the Air filter yourself. So maybe a $200 service every 4 years.

    Thanks OP
    I placed an order yesterday. Grab 1 of their 17 in stock at Mt Gravatt in QLD. They are going like hotcakes. I was told they hit the ground with 500 also units ready for delivery.
    For the price and all the extra is hard to beat in the same price bracket.
    Many options are available in the high 40’ range but not with the 360 cams, power tailgate, HUD, massage in both front chairs, moonroof, premium sound system, latest battery tech that could potentially outlive the car frame without replacement, also claimed to be very safe and an onboard 11k charger for better home charging from the wall socket.
    Overall, the brand Geely sold it for me. They are big and are here to make themself known, surely they won't do it with a cheap and nasty box, at least not the launch car where their name is essentially hanging on it.
    It was quite overwhelming on the test drive with all the feathers. Very spacious inside. Many things to like but a few things I have noticed are the indicator is on the left and, the gear stick is on the right (our normal indicator). The ADAS system is not quite there yet and seems to struggle to pick up the road edges and lane keeping, they did say they have made many changes to suit the Straya road conditions, hoping future software updates will improve this. Lastly, the indicator lever doesn't lock in place when selected, rather it returns to the centre after initiated, to cancel you have to push it in the opposite direction, I guess just something I have to get used to.
    A slightly more range would be imo the perfect mid-range affordable electric SUV. Apparently, they offer a bigger battery option back in China. This will be my main daily so I won't have too much issue with the range, should be fine with a weekly plug-in.
    My 5c worth opinions. It is my first full electric car ownership so dont grill me. If all finance goes well, I can drive it away soon. Very excited.
    Cheers.

      Agree with all you've said. I'd put Geely along with BYD as one of the few "too big to fail" EV brands, it's going to be a bloodbath in the EV industry in the next few years, not many are going to survive like Xpeng's founder said.

            12 months ago Trump gave a speech where he said what you just said, that there will be an auto industry 'bloodbath'.
            The media in their true style went full retard and claimed that the the use of the word 'bloodbath' was some sort of dog whistle by Trump to call up some imaginary bogey man army to go out and murder people (yep the media is that retarded)

            I was merely using your example to show that 'bloodbath' is a word used by normal people to describe economic crashes and how retarded the media are for deliberately pretending that they didn't know that.

        I have not.
        I know I should but I hate choices.
        Once I start looking at other option I won’t make a decision at all. The Geely seem to pack lot of gucci stuff for a really competitively price.
        I have drove the pole star as a rental for a week so kinda knew what so of thing to look for.
        But most of all, I’m betting on Geely doing well for their first car. Manufacturer tend to make good introduction product then slowly cut cost to drive profit by sacrificing quality. If their brand take off, their price could also raise.
        I’m putting all on red if you like.

            Was only a 20 mins drive.
            The dealer was barely set up.
            The Mrs was keen, I’m keen so we signed the paper.
            I’m quite skeptical about EV car for years now. My reasoning is the battery technology is not quite there yet imo.
            This car seems to made that leap in term of longevity. The need to replace the battery every 10 years put me off. They now claim this battery retain life for longer. The big BYD is bringing the same tech later this year.
            If it wasnt the launch offer, I would probably done more shopping and get something else.

        have driven both. compared with BYD SL7, I'd say Geely has slightly nicer interior. SL7 drives better- Geely feels heavier despite being a much lighter vehicle. BYD is bigger and has a bit more inside esp in back seat. BYD is also less energy efficient if that matters, it's a very heavy car. out of the chinese EVs BYD has more badge credit if that matters to you

        They were flat out spinning with people turning for viewing and test drive.
        I would say it was not the best service I got for signing a purchase. Due to high demand, bargaining with them was pretty much non-existent.

      • caprimulgus on 17/03/2025 - 14:10

        Pretty sure they are referring to the onboard AC charger (built in the car), which is 11kw. Some cars, eg. older BYDs, only do 7kw. Some rare ones do 22kw.

        Technically, the AC charger is built into the car, and what most people refer to as a "charger" (myself included) on the wall is technically an EVSE. Pretty sure that they did not receive an 11kw "charger" (EVSE).

        • CheapNoNastyPlz on 17/03/2025 - 18:20

          You are correct.

            • CheapNoNastyPlz on 17/03/2025 - 22:04

              @Amit Goyal: I don’t think so.
              I signed the contract on the 1st day the deal was dropped.
              The dealer has no idea of the contract details. They were following all the fine print from the Geely website.
              Was kinda hopeless of them.
              I have to argue about the price as they charged me twice for the ORC.
              Bargaining was non-existence. They would not add anything not listed on the website.
              In their defence, I dont think they got much details either from Geely. The showroom was a bare floor, they were still detailing cars for display as I was signing the contract.
              Getting the charger installation cost wave would be hard judging from last week.
              Someone here mention they got it waved.
              I might ring and ask. Don’t get 100% of what you don't ask.

        It’s simple. First mover loses. In an open market, if you don’t buy it for $40990, then seller drops to $36990. Now you know their bottom line is around $27000. So there’s a lot of rooms to play this game.

          are we just ignoring shipping, setting up new dealer networks, marketing, conversion to RHD and economy of scale, and a billion other factors that goes into exporting a car to an overseas market?

      Some people are addicted to drama. They watch the News for the same reason people watch Soap Operas, Professional Wrestling, and 'Reality' TV. The contrived, constructed drama that keeps them on the hook so the people selling it to them can get rich from advertising to these fools.

          Projection

          This is not drama, unless you're self-identifying as a drama queen?

          Keep trying though, as you know I'm here all day…

    test drove this the other day
    Pros: well put together cabin, feature rich, a sunroof that opens. comfortable ride. massage seats are nice. spacious
    Cons: touchscreen a bit finicky to operate, no android auto apple carplay. steering spongy. ADAS issues annoying.

    great value with everything you can think of, if they can back it up with good aftercare and service I can see them sticking around

      How can you determine what the post service is like? I have not heard of any Chinese brands that even had a good warranty claim experience….

    $1600 cheaper in ACT than NSW.

    Worth getting it in ACT and driving it back? How does rego work from ACT to NSW?

    • May4th on 14/03/2025 - 06:19

      you'd need an ACT address I imagine

      • xyron on 14/03/2025 - 11:52

        Only for garaging. Can be Belconnen McDonalds for all ACT Rego care

        but when the ACT rego runs out you'll need to get a blue slip for it and pay for new NSW rego (technically you need to transfer within 3 months of the garaging address of the vehicle changing to NSW, but who does that?)

  • Christoshizz on 14/03/2025 - 23:35

    I drove this today. Nice car. Solid. Infotainment is beta at best needs a lot of work. I’m amazed they shipped it like this but yeah

    • CheapNoNastyPlz on 15/03/2025 - 07:38

      I think the timing was not on their side. They wanted to beat the Kia EV3 (or matched) and BYD releasing the new Atto3. I know they are late to the party already but with the economy futures being quite unpredictable (most pointing toward crashing), they may have to rush this launch or potentially screw up the whole branding. It's kind of like other gaming avoiding the new GTA release.
      But yes, the infotainment and Adas need a lot of work. The lack of buttons doesn't help, but this is the direction most car manufacturers are heading in.

      • Christoshizz on 15/03/2025 - 23:28

        agreed. btw regarding buttons its even worse, there is like 10+ unlabelled and configurable buttons on the steering wheel. very annoying, hard to find things like cruise control.

      yes probably biggest drawback, but with apple carplay due in july it will negate some of it and others hopefully with OtA updates. that and the annoying icecream truck chime

  • Amit9997 on 15/03/2025 - 11:31

    Anyone able to get any good offers from the dealer on top of these offers?

    • May4th on 15/03/2025 - 11:46

      direct models doesn't allow for much dealer discretion. whether there's any more promos/discounts is anyone's guess

      • Amit9997 on 15/03/2025 - 12:03

        I have booked one and only offered floor mats. So want to check if anyone else able to get better offers.

        • serpserpserp on 15/03/2025 - 18:10

          You get floor mats standard

    Not many insurance options for this car. What insurance options everyone going for?

    • May4th on 18/03/2025 - 16:20

      NRMA for me came to about 1.8k which is reasonable for EV

    • sillyhead on 19/03/2025 - 16:15

      The fact that Geely is not available in the drop down for most insurers concerns me a bit. Had a look at one at the Mt Gravatt dealership. Guy there was pushing the inspire pretty hard. Honestly I wasn't a fan of the sunroof (lot of small flimsy expectedly unobtainable parts) and was more interested in the complete. Also I know the $4000 buys alot of features, but its also a 10% saving if you dont want all of those features. Though missing out on the power tailgate and the higher suspension would be a downer. Don't love the high centre console configuration, found it a bit claustrophobic. The car does seem very nice though. Im sure it would be a nice runabout. I think ill wait and see how these new Chinese brands go first before jumping in.

        NRMA does, it's a week from release so not unusual for a lag. $4k for a full opening sunroof alone without the other features is not a bad deal across other makes. personally I feel it's worthwhile paying the extra but YMMV.

        • caprimulgus on 19/03/2025 - 16:56

          Yeah, pretty sure it's common with any newly released car - we had the same thing (not being able to select the car) when we were buying our car.

        • sillyhead on 21/03/2025 - 10:55

          The Kia EV3 has only just been scheduled to enter the showrooms in late march. and its in the AAMI drop down… And for me insurance alot less than $1800 a year for the Standard range Air ($821). Its also got apple carplay and android auto. If they are missing these things that sit on the surface what else is missing that we don't know about right now.
