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

Long Range $73,400 (was $77,900)

      Melbourne to Sydney in a Model 3 LR, starting with 100% charge and arriving with 20% you’d need to charge for less than an hour on the way. Easy to stop for lunch while it charges.

      Read up on these things before making yourself look silly.

      There are superchargers and fast chargers all the way up the Hume to Noosa. According to a better route planner, it would take about 10:08 hrs to drive from Melbourne to Sydney in a new SR+, with 3 stops to fast charge. Fast charging would take 1hr 20mins total, driving 8hrs 49 mins. You can make 3 stops for charging (Albury, Gundagai, Goulburn), and you'll arrive in Sydney with 10% battery. Total cost is $28, but you'll likely have free supercharger credits. You could probably skip the last charger if you charged a little longer at lunch.

          I didn't realise it was free in NSW. We have to pay for Chargefox in Vic, (but its cheaper than superchargers with RACV discount). Most of the Evie Charging the region chargers are free, but they are only 50kw.

      The asking prices on carsales make no sense. The cheapest used SR+ in NSW is listed at $73.3k.
      With the price cut and no waiting list most sellers are going to have to take a solid $10-20k haircut before they have a hope of selling their car. Especially once the Model Y turns up.

      Realistically, no one is going to pay more than 90% of the new car price on a used one.

      Depends on what you're after. This has better range, performance and tech and better resale value. MG is more practical and roomier (if you have a larger family, etc) but you take a big range and performance hit. So yea, depends on what you're after.

        I wouldn't disagree with you on any point other than resale.

        Resale value must be tanking if the new car RRP drops too.

        If you bought one a year ago for $73,900, this is now worth circa/sub 50k second hand, and you're less than 12m into driving it. That's a 20k+ hit. Most new cars drop 20% or so (15k for a 74k car). So I'd argue this has really poor resale value due to the RRP dropping so heavily.

      Have you not noticed the 3080 deals, it can be a deal at 3x RRP.

      If there's no supply RRP is irrelevant. Tesla is unique in the sense there's no dealer and they sell to public. Where you may get 20-25% off at a BMW dealer whilst the MSRP stays the same, Tesla's RRP pricing is transparent and any drop is a deal for those looking to buy one

          I think it does. The Camry is the car of the people. Now this is. Don't assume your situation is reflective of everyone else. This car has US pricing + import costs and taxes. This car in the US is $USD39,990 + delivery/state taxes, which is about $USD2000. $USD42,000 is $56,068. This is within $AUD5000 of US prices, on the road, which is great considering our higher taxes. The lifetime savings is obviously far greater because our petrol is way more expensive.

              @s1Lence: The top selling cars in Australia are $50k+ Utes.

              And here the model 3 outsells the Camry.

              https://thedriven.io/2021/07/09/another-1200-model-3-teslas-…

              The Model 3 is not unaffordable for most. That's your situation. If you can afford a Ranger or Hilux, you can afford a Model 3. It won't be suitable for the same purpose, but affordability is not the issue.

                barely anyone even owns a model 3 in australia and it isn't outselling the camry or many other cars so i dont know how it is the "car of the people", i also think it will be in the future but it isnt just yet

        Toyota sell about 13k Camry's a year these days. You really think the M3 will do more than that? I'm not so sure, but maybe the NSW EV incentives will make it happen this year.

        Hopefully one of them will be mine though, I was looking at getting a Camry SL hybrid, but after Toyota jacked the price by $5k in April, and with the 2 price drops on the M3 since then + the NSW rebate, an SR+ is looking increasingly likely to occupy one of my garage spots.

        Consider the total cost of ownership when purchasing the car.

        How long will you keep it?
        How much will it cost you over that time? (purchase price + all it cost you over time)
        How much will it be worth at the end of that time?

I understand features of the FSD package are being rolled out gradually but what FSD features do you have working right now in Australia and do you think it is more than a party trick at this point of time? I'm in two minds whether the extra 10K hit for FSD is justifiable or if it will end up being nothing more than a rort as even Musk is admitting FSD is harder than they anticipated and in Australia we may not even see level 4 due to poor roads and restrictive regulations within the lifetime of a model 3 bought right now.

    "Long Range $73,400 (was $77,900)"

    Just check the Tesla website for VIC.
    Drive away price:
    Long range: $79,030 (about $5,500 difference), How can I get the $73,400?

      Not going to happen.

        Yes it will, 100% it will, but not this year and probably not the next.

          No it won't. This car competes with the 3 series and C class. Its not going to start 30k below them. Its not going to get a 20% discount from the current price. That's wishful thinking.
