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.

The Tesla Corporate Program will waive a further $1375 on delivery fees.

This is a record-breaking year for Model 3 deliveries and Australia still have more ships coming from Shanghai.

    • JuryWheel on 10/07/2021 - 10:21

      Looks awesome but can't see it selling very well unfortunately, especially at the likely price. Why not turbo charge the V6 for some real oomf?

      • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2021 - 10:35

        1500kg… supercharged v6 is more than plenty… the 2GR has excellent high end torque.

        Higher horsepower does not necessary mean a more fun/better car for any purpose aside from 0-100 sprint (the kids flooring it at the lights). MX5 is a good example of a well balanced sports car.

        If it is at the lower end of the 100 mark, will sell like hot cakes.

    Tesla is too expensive. How’s the MG ZS EV?

    • wfdTamar on 10/07/2021 - 10:54
      +4

      I test drove both recently. The MG is better than you expect it to be. A bit of a whine from the motor. I'm not an SUV fan, but if you're ok with them and the range is ok for you it's worth a look.

      The Tesla is a different cup of tea. It's a rethink of a lot of ways a car can be done and has some nifty things, but some are just awkward. You really need to try one to see if you like it. I found the top half of the seats uncomfortable (no adjustment), the screen too limited and not a good enough GUI. Apart from one squeak in the back it felt nicely put together and quiet. Did make me car sick, but that could have been too much looking at the screen. The thing that really turned me off was the constricted boot opening - the upper bar is way too low. Vision out the back is pretty tight too. It'll be interesting to see what the Y is like as that may solve a lot of the issues I had with it.

      Also interested to see the BYD hatch.

      • sydracing on 10/07/2021 - 11:10

        Yes, I have the same feeling, but still concern the battery quality from MG. Waiting for the BYD, $40k is my budget.

    Anyone who is planning on waiting you can secure the order now by paying the $150. If you are in NSW you can hold the order until 1 September for execution and eligibility for the subsidy (at least that’s what was explained to me).

It's been proven time and again (check major youtube channels) that the Shanghai Giga made 3s are the far superior ones in terms of QA, compared to the issue ridden ones from California. Unless Berlin starts producing AND is able to supply Australia AND can shows better quality, China made ain't bad.

        The West has been enjoying low inflation for too long, taking advantage of Chinese cheap labour.
        But that has fuelled the CCP, they now have the financial power to oppress human rights, penetrate the West, collect personal data without users' consent and ignore international laws.
        There is no such thing as private firm in China. Every company has to give at least 1% of shares to the CCP, and set up a department for CCP members take control to monitor how the business runs.
        I've been boycotting made in China products for 20+ years now. While it's impossible to completely avoid, but trying as hard as I can.

          There is a big difference, huge difference, in quality between foreign designed and owned products made in China (think Apple and Tesla) and Chinese owned products made in China (think MG and Great Wall and these are their export quality cars)

    It's better to wait for one of the many new EV offerings from the legacy automakers that are coming to market over the next year or so. Teslas have been around long enough to have a well-known reputation for horrible quality and practically zero customer service plus they're looking dated with their designs that haven't evolved (since 2012 in the case of Model S which is why they hardly sell any of those these days). The company's focus was to dazzle shareholders with promises of self-driving cars and Robotaxis, Cybertrucks, Roadsters (not to mention solar roof tiles) - all of which pumped the share price to absurd levels but none of which have come to market. Making the actual product was always an afterthought.

    For full disclosure I'm a renewable energy developer and love EVs, so it's not an anti-EV stance that I have. These are truly horrible products.

    • Grok on 10/07/2021 - 11:35
      +4

      Almost every competing EV design has an ICE car mindset.

      Even the new designs generally have ICe car performance and packaging. There is generally no real advantage to buy them over the markers ICE cars.

      Teslas on the other had are generations ahead, their performance is vastly better, small things like the cameras acting as dash cams seal the deal. Their HVAC system is world class. The mechanicals on a Tesla are robust and durable as well.

      There is more to a Tesla than many casual observers see.

      • Illyria on 10/07/2021 - 13:26
        +2

        If by "ICE car mindset" you mean decades of experience of building cars without panel gaps, poor paint quality and an absence of stupid gimmicks (like an ipad with computer games on it glued to an otherwise bland dashboard) or false promises of true range estimates or being able to "full self drive", then yes, and that's a good thing.

        The market will be seeing more headlines like this from now on: “Better than Tesla”: New Mercedes electric EQS ranked “best EV in world”.

        https://thedriven.io/2021/07/06/better-than-tesla-new-merced…

        • Grok on 10/07/2021 - 13:34
          +4

          Pretty nice getting that ranking when the car hasn’t even been released yet mate.

          Wheels magazine gave the EQC a car if the year award despite it being a buggy heap of garbage ICE car conversion,

          Lots of vested interests are triggered by Tesla, EVs or both. The Europeans are particularly parochial, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Berlin Gigafactory is somehow continually delayed by the authorities or union activists.

        • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2021 - 19:31

          The new Mercedes EQS looks great (technologically speaking, the car itself is ugly as sin). It has a huge range (about the same as a Model S long range, maybe a bit more), it was reasonably fast charging (200kw), but it doesnt have the performance of the Model S (base model is 0-100kmh in 3.1, Plaid is 2.1), where as the Merc is something like 4.5. It's luxurious, but the hyperdash from what I've seen is incredibly gimmicky, and slow with poor FPS when using it. Merc is great at building cars, but software isn't their thing. The real elephant in the room is the price. The EQS costs more than the S class, so you're probably looking at $AU300k for a base model and $AU400k for the high end model with the options you want.

    • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2021 - 16:41

      Legacy auto makers have EVs on the market, and they have generally failed horribly. The Audi E Tron has been out here for over a year now, and I have seen exactly 2 of them. I have seen probably 3 Mercedes EQC, maybe 20 Hyundai EVs, and a decent amount of old import Nissan Leafs (but only a handful of new ones). I see Teslas everyday, and there is a reason for that.

      Teslas EV tech is years ahead of everyone else. Hyundai/Kia in their latest products (Ioniq 5) look to be approaching Tesla for efficiency (and surpassing the Model 3 in charging curve- but Tesla chooses a curve to make sure the batteries last), but the vehicles, even in their fastest form, can't match the performance. For all other manufacturers it's a trade off between efficiency and performance. Tesla can do both. Porsche went for performance, and ended up with really poor range. But now the Plaid is so much faster than a Taycan Turbo S (at nearly half the price), it's not even an argument (and it charges faster too).

      The Model S/X is selling horribly because it went out of production in November last year. They just started selling the new model S at the end of the last quarter, and demand is outstripping supply ridiculously, so it looks like Australian and RHD markets wont even see the car till the end of 2022. So much so that they've increased the price on the S Plaid and Long Range significantly. But the $250k Plaid S is the quickest car ever made. It does 0-100kmh in 2 seconds, it does a 1/4 mile in 9.23 at 155mph. It's quicker than a Bugatti Chiron, worth $5m.

      Solar tiles have been on the market for a few years, but they are horrendously expensive.

      Tesla is about to release the FSB Beta V9 today. Game changing apparently. The regular Tesla autopilot is by far the best autonomous systems available in any car at the moment. It has actual situational awareness, which no other system has.

      If you're going to make a BS hater post, do some research, otherwise you look foolish.

      That article is very wrong. It also claims 0-100 in less than 5 seconds.

      Mixed up info about the platform, which will include cars with high range and fast acceleration, with info about the EA1 which is the entry level model of the platform.

      Realistically: 300km WLTP range (achievable if mostly city/suburban, less on highways). 0-100 about 10 seconds. Still at $35k, once you factor in savings from electric vs petrol and lower service costs, it makes a lot more economic sense than a $30k Corolla. Plus all the benefits of electric driving: quiet, great acceleration from standing start, and if you have solar panels to charge it from clean energy you can feel good about reducing CO2 emissions.

      Wasn't a Tesla, but I bought a Nissan Leaf via a novated lease in 2016. I just opted not to have a fuel allowance in my lease. The logistics of buying a home charging unit which logged usage and then submitting that to the lease company.. it was too hard and the dollar amount was low enough (<$50/month) that I didn't worry about it. Some lease companies might have caught up to EVs since then though.

    dunno as I'm not about to buy one - but just passing on something I read

        I will buy a V8 just to anger EV drivers. Lowwer exsice for fuel and higher EV taxes are coming.

          It’s nice when conservatives finally come out & admit that, at heart, they are just self absorbed people
