      It's cheaper than the equivalent vehicles from Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan.

  • Herbse on 20/01/2022 - 12:52

    Love how the price goes down. We were considering one when it was $65k but held off due to finances. Now it's cheaper ☺️

  • a l an on 20/01/2022 - 12:55

    I bought one in August last year for $64,967.20 inc stamp duty, rego, CTP and licence plates. Add on the Government subsidy (which i got later on) and i got mine for $61,967.20. Note that mine came with car mats but the heated steering wheel and rear heated seats are an optional in-app purchase of $500.00 AUD (front heated seats come included).

    Best car i've ever owned and i'm glad i converted from a long history of BMW cars to Tesla.

    Also mine definately came from China. Still had some chinese paperwork in the center console when i picked it up.

    Not quite a bargain (as there are no discounts) but i definitely recommend getting one if you're looking at a new car around that price range.

    • Herbse on 20/01/2022 - 13:34

      Are the Chinese ones generally better or worse than the alternative? And what's the alternative? USA?

        theres' no alternative

        the 3 all come from china now

        its pretty obvious why… while the Model S and X have higher profit margin they can afford to make them elsewhere

        but the 3 needs to be made in china for max profit

    Anyone got opinions on the best wall charger for when we decide to get a Tesla or similar?

    Ideally I'd like something that monitors my solar output and only charges the car if I have excess production that I'd otherwise be exporting.

    That I could then override at certain times if I needed the car to have a certain range etc. And have a minimum to charge from the grid if required.

    • loksmack on 20/01/2022 - 13:30
      +3

      The popular solar-aware charger is the Zappi. Note however that it's about $1k more expensive than the Tesla Wall Connector. I really doubt you would save that $1k with the 'smarts' in the Zappi compared to just 'dumb' scheduling charging during the daytime.

      The car comes with a mobile charger and a lot of people find this to be sufficient for their needs without installing a hard-wired charger. My advice would be to see how you go with the mobile charger, and only upgrade if you think you need it.

      • [Deactivated] on 20/01/2022 - 13:55

        Also Zappi need a ct clamp installed in your switchboard to detect that and wired back to zappi machine, or need to buy wireless module which will attract extra $ to install.

        However, ScoMo :tm: announced there will be home charger subsidy starting this year so that might gives you more affordability.

        • loksmack on 20/01/2022 - 14:08

          I know he announced it, but didn't see it was starting this year. Do you have a link you can share?

        Thanks. Seems like such a smart thing to include is weird there is only 1.

  • Oofy Doofy on 20/01/2022 - 13:14

    Much safer for these to be FWD for the cheaper models.

    • Dogsrule on 20/01/2022 - 18:09
      +1

      This ain’t an old ICE car with slow traction control, EV motors are controlled via superfast power electronics, I’ve been completely unable to even chirp the tyres at full power round a sharp corner in the wet in mine.

      • Oofy Doofy on 21/01/2022 - 17:36

        Besides all of the technology, FWD has many things going for it, which is why it is the preferred setup for manufacturers and consumers alike.

        • Dogsrule on 21/01/2022 - 18:07

          FWD was originally conceived for ICE vehicles to reduce manufacturing costs, increase space efficiency and increase safety. Manufacturing costs were reduced by incorporating the differential into the transmission (a so called 'transaxle assembly') obviating the need for a separate differential at the rear and its associated driveshaft. This also increased interior space as those bulky components were no longer present along the length and back of the car.

          Before traction control and stability control they were also safer than RWD as FWD's tend to fall into easily controllable understeer when they exceed the available grip of the tyres, whereas RWD's oversteer causing the rear wheels to come around spinning the car. The only downside of FWD is that the front tyres have to pull double duty, both steering & drive power, so in wet conditions it is easy to lose traction and experience understeer and power reduction from the traction control.

          The small footprint of electric motors and their single speed gearboxes allow them to be easily mounted at either end of the vehicle without impinging on interior space, and the oversteer problem is abolished with the control speed of the power electronics. RWD EV's then seize the advantage over FWD by providing superior steering ability because the front tyres don't have to apply drive power, so the aforementioned understeer and power loss is greatly reduced. This is the reason why serious race cars have been and are still RWD.

          EV’s really do change the rules of the game which is why so many legacy manufacturers are struggling to adapt to the new possibilities that’s EV’s allow.

    • Deviner on 20/01/2022 - 21:51
      +1

      Yeah this FWD statement is completely wrong/misinformed.
      As Dodsrule mentioned, you're comparing it to an ICE car, which has the heavy engine in front.

      The Model 3 has all the weight tucked under nearly the full length of the car, giving it a much, much, much lower centre of gravity, so makes it way more stable.

      • Dogsrule on 21/01/2022 - 18:31

        It’s a funny thing, I remember the arguments of 20 years ago between the RWD and FWD enthusiasts when RWD was dying out. Both sides had good points, FWD offered packaging efficiency, lower cost and safety, RWD offered superior driving dynamics.

        Now that the bulky ICE/transmission problem is a thing of the past and the motor power electronics offer millisecond response time, I cannot think of a single advantage of FWD in the EV era.

  • Trueno on 20/01/2022 - 13:22

    • chuq on 20/01/2022 - 14:00

      That sounds right, the last price drop was in July.

  • Amr911 on 20/01/2022 - 13:35

    So what's the running cost compared to normal ones? Like how much for 100kms?

    • chuq on 20/01/2022 - 13:59
      +4

      My off peak electricity rate is 13.9c/kWh. So 100 km would cost about $2.09 in electricity.
      If I charge from solar (and pretend it is "costing" the amount that I would have been paid to sell the solar to the grid, which is 6.5c/kWh) then 100 km of driving costs me 97 cents.

    I really want one of these things - if I got one I wouldn't waste my time with anything but the performance model. But letting my cammed 6.0L go for something that doesn't make a sound is a hard decision to make, and I don't want 2 cars and 2 regos plus the wife's.

    • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 14:20

      You will need to get used electrik eventually but I suppose you can hang on to the 6L as long as you can.

      • Lets Make Sandwiches on 20/01/2022 - 15:30

        Yes correct. Will be interesting to see how the market goes…… Will they go up in value due to the govt. giving exemptions for people who already have petrol cars? If so I expect it to be like cigarettes - you can have them, but you'll pay through the nose and it will continue to get more expensive.

        • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 15:42

          Perhaps. I suspect there might be a niche market for manual driven cars also. I suspect self driving cars will be similar to manual vs auto cars now. Literally no one will use a manually driven car let alone one that needs constant oil changes etc. Petrol prices will be through the roof and very low demand.

          my prediction is that one won't be able to sell normal ICE cars easily but could potentially sell a unique ICE like black edition Merc etc.

          I have spoken.

          • Lets Make Sandwiches on 20/01/2022 - 16:01

            @Naigrabzo: Yes good to get other opinions. My SS is not Hsv and so doubt it will be worth money down the track. Will need to pick the sweet spot in terms of selling it but I imagine the days of even more expensive petrol will be upon us much sooner than we think.

            • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 16:05
              +2

              @Lets Make Sandwiches: I think so.

              Once petrol companies get on board with electrik companies to make their real estate as charging stations, my guess is that petrol/diesel will be rare and only used on large trucks etc… All I know is that I will pay fair money for quick charge.

              In saying that I kid you not, I just passed an ELECTRIK TRUCK the other day in the ACT. It looked like an Isuzu medium sized truck with a HUGE battery pack on the side.

              I won't comment on petrol prices because it's out there for everyone to see.

              Who knows though.

              This is not a great time to buy a car though because electric are expensive and petrol might become useless soon.

    • Naigrabzo on 20/01/2022 - 14:34

      extension cord will probably take 20 hours to charge it. max power from extension cord will be 2000w ie 2kw.

      • dtpearson on 20/01/2022 - 15:17
        +1

        No, a dedicated charger will be way faster (up to 11kw on 3 phase), extension cord will be only 2kw max (and its not really safe especially if you have it all looped together).

    • Steptoe on 20/01/2022 - 15:48

      You could get 15A extension lead, otherwise 10A from standard GPO.

      3 phase @16A gives you 11kW
      1 phase @32A gives you 7.2kW

        Good point. Wouldn't want to canabalise the plaid. Plaid does a 9.3 second quarter mile without the silly burnouts first, fat tyres, and unreliable mods. I thought that would be impossible not too long ago. Hopefully the plaid can get into the 150k territory one day and then I would pull the trigger. 250K just too much but good value compared to petrol alternatives.
