Tesla have once again done us all proud by slashing the price of the Model 3’s.

Standard Range Plus $59,900 (was $62,900)
Long Range $73,400 (was $77,900)
Performance $84,900 (was $93,900)

Prices above exclude on-road costs (varying per state)
and Tesla’s mandatory $1375 delivery fee + $150 ordering fee.

          That’s 2020. MIC builds came into effect in 2021. You’re also looking at an American report that is served by an entirely different factory.

          From the second link you posted:

          In Consumer Reports’ 2021 study, Tesla dropped five spots to 16th place due to reliability problems with the Model S, Model Y, and Model X. The nonprofit research organization noted that Teslas get high scores in owner satisfaction and its road tests, but only the Model 3 received a high enough overall score to be recommended.

        The problem with Chinese cars is they aren’t built to last long.

      • Grok on 10/07/2021 - 11:28

        The megacastings increasing used are greatly aiding panel gaps as they give a uniform chassis foundation.

        Tesla build quality is fine, critics have to pounce on something, all the competing ICE cars are dinosaurs and the competing EVs are a generation behind in tech.

    • JuryWheel on 10/07/2021 - 10:25

      Realistically, what will actually fail and coat you money to repair on this car over say 10 years? Has the drivetrain, electronics etc been shown to fail and cost a lot to repair? (Genuine question). From what I have seen, the panel gap issue is pretty much gone now and loads of cars have ordinary plastics…

    • sobriety22 on 10/07/2021 - 16:16

      Having sat and ridden in one of the Model 3s made in Shanghai, it's build quality is very good. Tesla critics will always bring this up but this is no longer the case.

    • Zondor on 10/07/2021 - 19:16

      Yep, I love the products but their QA is ridiculious. The fact that they drop em off in aus, sell em, then you have to bring them back to fix the pannel gaps is ridiclious

      • Deviner on 11/07/2021 - 00:34

        Funny you start a sentence with "Yep" as if you're carrying on the sentiments of the previous comments, but you're completely contradicting them.
        The comments above yours have stated the panel gaps are no longer an issue.
        The cars for the Australian market are manufactured in China which has been widely reported as having far superior QA to what has come out of the US.

            @ItsMeAgro: The talk relates to the 4680 Cell Structural Battery. The battery is likely to outlast the car, so the problem will be how to replace the car, not the battery

      • chuq on 10/07/2021 - 11:47

        No. That's part of Teslas future plans but not in the MYs which are being built right now. In addition, the battery at that point will have a lifespan of 1.6 million km. And Tesla will still be able to remove the battery cells and recycle them, but we are talking over a decade until that's even necessary, definitely not a concern for someone buying a car today.

  • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2021 - 09:50

        They removed the radar to go with a full vision approach towards autonomous driving.

        Here's a great video talking about the conflict between the information received from Radar vs the information received from cameras. The essence is, if the 2 conflicts, which information do you accept?

          Taking out the sales pitch from the video, it sounds like there are issues with radar that they are not able to solve. Hence, the move to video, which they feel they have enough experience with. Seems like a strange thing to do with no increase in processing power(no physical upgrade of internal hardware). I can't even imagine the data that needs to processed on so many cameras in real time to do this.

          • realrift on 11/07/2021 - 19:41

            @balu: Thats why they custom made their neural net hardware.

            Removing radar solves sensor fusion issues as mentioned above. They have demonstrated that vision alone is more reliable than radar for speed and distance (the main benefits of radar). Radar has issues detecting large stationary objects because they blend into the background and objects moving laterally at speed.

    • Steptoe on 10/07/2021 - 12:29
      +3

      Depends on a lot of factors. Say around 1/3 of the cost, but Petrol prices aren’t that stable so YMMV.

      The calculations are quite simple:

      Consumption (Wh/km) faster=higher consumption
      X
      Distance (km)
      X
      Electricity Rate ($.cc/kWh)
      /
      1000 (Wh to kWh)

      Electricity cost ranges from Free to $0.52/kWh at Tesla Superchargers

      • snep on 10/07/2021 - 15:12
        +2

        For a real-world example, I average ~160 wh/km (can be more or less depending on conditions), maybe 200 km a week, and charge during off-peak at ~14c/kWh. So that's ~$4.48 per week. Plugging in once a week is fine.
