    • Boogerman on 10/07/2021 - 12:08

      Because it’s psychologically intertwined with anthropogenic global warming & conservatives hate that which undermines their small government worldview. So rather than amend their thinking they deny science & attack the perceived threat

        Nonsense, it is not conservatives at all mate.

        It’s the traditional car, SUV and truck enthusiasts who feel threatened by EVs. many people’s whole life is cars, traditional noisey, smelled mechanically based cars. (BTW I love normal cars too)

        They cannot handle the fact that even the base model Tesla SR+ will smoke almost every normal performance car on the street. The latest S Plaid is the fastest production car ever.

        Their whole world is collapsing, hence the negativity.

        • Cyb3rGlitch on 10/07/2021 - 16:31

          Honestly if that's what they worry about then maybe they should fund research into hydrogen combustion. Still green, makes broom broom sounds, and plenty of mechanical points of failure to keep busy with.

          There is a VERY strong correlation between conservative voting & denial of anthropogenic global warming science. The last CSIRO report on the issue found around 75% of LNP voters denied the link between humans & climate
          EVs represent part of the global action towards mitigating global warming
          Conservatives tend to have an attitude of ‘get the government out of my life’ = small government
          Can’t address global warming without TITANIC global cooperative government intervention
          Conservatives hate it

          • Grok on 11/07/2021 - 09:44

            @Boogerman: Just get on with your life mate, it’s too short for this pointless ideological banter when discussing an electric car.

            The answer to elevated CO2 levels is not personal EVs anyway, it’s public transport and population control so progressives are in worse denial mate.

            • Boogerman on 11/07/2021 - 14:27

              @Grok: Reducing population doesn’t fix the problem if the tools used by said population creates CO2, including polluting public transport.
              Conservatives. Ugh. Such simpletons.

            • realrift on 11/07/2021 - 19:55

              @Grok: These are what is important to global warming:

              Transportation.
              Animal agriculture.
              Energy generation.

              A solution cannot ignore any one of these causes.

              • Grok on 12/07/2021 - 01:16

                @realrift: So human population is not important? (Amongst other reasons)

                The higher the world human population the higher the

                Transportation requirements
                Animal agriculture requirements
                Energy generation requirements

                Progressives want mass immigration from poor countries to rich countries. Turning low ecological impact populations to high ecological impact populations but no, blame the problem on people who want an orderly transition to net zero by using lower impact transition fossil fuels like gas.

                • Boogerman on 12/07/2021 - 08:40

                  @Grok: Reducing population but not eliminating the source of CO2 (or airborne carcinogens) doesn’t solve the problem. Pretty basic logic, but maybe not for sky fairy believing conservatives

    I’m not in the market for a Tesla, but with all the seemingly endless discounting of the Model 3, I’d hate to be an existing owner. The resale and depreciation would give you depression.

      Car you better off leasing.

            @Megahowler: Not the same as American leasing. Novated lease is allocating payments for a car out of your pre tax income, and then paying FBT instead of income tax on it. American leasing is essentially a long term rental. It's where the OP's notion of better off renting the car comes from: If it drives, flies or floats, lease it.

            Doesn't work in Australia, because we don't do leases like that.

            • [Deactivated] on 10/07/2021 - 19:06

              @[Deactivated]: Putting pre-tax thing aside novated lease and american-style lease are pretty much identical in financial terms, and no, rule of 3F does not apply to cars.

                @[Deactivated]: No they aren't. In the US car companies give discounts through leasing and you get ridiculous deals. Novated leasing applies to basically the car's RRP.

    - Big wait on stock, that I would be waiting a while and was lucky to get one.
    - There were no foreseeable price cuts in the future.
    - They hold resale value better then any other vehicle.

    With this cut it’s over $10k cheaper in 3 months..

      Tesla always move their prices around. If you're not happy, think about the initial adopters for a P100D. Maxed out price was $320k. When they discontinued the Model S Performance (update of the same car) last year, you could get one for $160k, which was better in every way.

        Those are worse case unrealistic scenarios. Firstly you don't need to wait until you are empty like a petrol car - you put it off in a normal car because you can't be assed going to the servo, but with an EV you can simply plug in when you get home thus are merely topping off what you used (15-60mins depending upon distance / type of charger) and always have a full tank. Secondly if you did do a total 0% to 100% charge then you must have done a big trip and therefore would either use a super charger or third party high speed charger (which would take a mere 20-40mins) or you could use a destination charger or if you did want to do that 100% from home then you'd use a 15amp power point or 3-phase power (which you're likely to have if you have a ducted aircon) which would at most take 3-4 hours… but again you don't do a 0% to 100% charge every day of the week, that would only be a big-ass trip you would instead either plug in each night for a real quick top-up or plug in once a week for a few hours to top that up.

          Thanks TOSLA representative for spreading the usual nonsense on charging times.

          Here are the facts that are published that dispute your TOSLA sales pitch

          Empty to full
          3-pin plug - Home 24 - 36 h
          3.6kW - Work 15 - 22 h
          7kW - Work / Public Locations 8 - 12 h
          22kW - Work / Public Locations 5 - 8 h

          REF: https://pod-point.com/guides/vehicles/tesla/2021/model-3

          If you would like to dispute these charging times please post a link to official published figures as the numbers you make up are based on nothing

            @[Deactivated]: You almost never need to charge from empty to full.

            You just need enough charge to get you where you are going or where you need to go for a break or piss.

            Adding 100-200km of range takes only minutes.

            @[Deactivated]: Pretty clear that no one is disputing the charging times.

            It's the misinformation due to your complete misunderstanding of how you approach charging and the fact you've intentionally cherry-picked the two slowest methods of charging (2kW and 3.6kW) and also the least common scenario of charging (0-100%) is the real problem here.

            A lot of people install a fairly cheap 5pin socket solution for 7kW at home, but your second comment insists this is only achievable at places of work - again, misinformation.

            You will never, ever, go 0-100% on a standard power socket.
            Most cars will stay within 20-80% charge and most people will use up about 5-10% per day and top that back up overnight or throughout the day with solar.
            So the charging aspect of it is unnoticeable.

            You don't "refill" your car once per week at a servo like a combustion engine… you need to wrap your head around that first.

            Also, superchargers are set up on main travel routes, so you can quote the other numbers on the site you've referenced.
            20-80%
            150kW - 20 minutes.

            @[Deactivated]: Not sure why you are being so aggressive… :(

            Firstly I already acknowledge that those are worse case scenarios - YES, if you went from 100% right down to 0% then it would take 3.5-4 hours to charge back up. Real world plugging in at home on my 3 phase which provides 22kW but car is limited to 11kW. That said, plugging into public fast charger or super charger would take around 40 minutes.

            However secondly, as I explained, real world usage is simply plug in when you get home. Go to work, go home, plug in… 15 minutes later done. Always have a full tank. Head out somewhere, come home, plug in… 10 minutes later done. Still have a full tank, head out for a big day somewhere, come home, plug in, 40 minutes later full tank. For normal "real world" usage it's no big deal.

            Or sure, don't plug in for the whole week and run down to 0% and THEN plug in. Not sure why but if you wanted to do that sure… and plug it into a plain old 10AMP GPO while you're at it. Then YES, you can do that to yourself, and wait 24 hours…. YES you can, NO people don't.
