Hi All,

Just came back from Tesla in Chadstone. The Model Y has a $3000+. price drop. Just started today at lunch time.
Went for a test driver and when I came back, the sales guy said he just received an email confirming a price drop on the Model Y.
Being a true OZBARGAIN guy, I bought one. Took all of 5 mins to order. 2 - 4 month deliver time.
If anyone thinking of getting one, now is a good time before they have massive back orders I guess.

State Driveaway price
VIC $74666
NSW $71757
ACT $71337
NT $73570
QLD $72856
SA $74360
TAS $71303
WA $76337

        Yeah it has, but this is how it will go.
        Any order prior to 7th of july, will be before March
        All orders after 7th will be after March

        I am almost certain this is how it will play out lol.

        (7th of july) was the cut off, i know because i unfortunately bought the Model Y for my parents then. hhahaha.

    I did a test drive on Tesla 3 a year ago. Didn't like it at all. Ended up buying a bmw i4. I don't regret it at all. On a same price level of Tesla, I would probably buy a polestar 2.

    • Logical on 07/01/2023 - 11:18

      What did you test drive… a 3 RWD? Should have driven the dual motor variants like the LR or P…. A whole different level. The Polestar 2 is crap… very cramped inside, sluggish and no access to Tesla's charging network.

  • Terra Australis on 07/01/2023 - 01:47

    Genuine question here.

    Interested with ev but worried with the time taken to charge at home (or during occassional long interstate trip, especially with 2 young kids around 5 and 8 yo - you know how it is, they would be impatient waiting for the ev to charge)

    Currently has a solar panel at home.
    Is it worth having home wall charger OR it'll be okay to use normal single-phase electricity at home?

    If you have young kids like me and have ev, what's the experience so far while waiting for the car charged up during interstate trip?

    If you have Tesla, do you need to buy a special charging cable to connect to non-tesla charger?

    Thanks

    • dtpearson on 07/01/2023 - 07:39

      We are using the charger that plugs into a normal power point, you plug it in when you get home every day and by morning it's full.

      For long distance travel superchargers mean that every 3 hours of driving you will have to stop for 15-35min, which you would likely to do anyway with a 5 & 8 year old for toilet and snack stops. BUT sometimes you can get caught out if there is cars waiting to charge, which is a pretty rare occurrence. Non-tesla charger suck.

      • BigLeviathan on 07/01/2023 - 07:44

        Thanks for your reply! Very useful insight of having an ev.

        Why non tesla charger suck? Is it because too slow? Too expensive?

        Also, could you check whether the destination charger being used/broken?

        Thanks

        • Rainmmaker on 07/01/2023 - 13:45

          Non-Tesla chargers don’t normally supercharge so take a lot longer

          • Speedster on 07/01/2023 - 20:40
            +3

            @Rainmmaker: "Supercharger" is just a Tesla marketing name for their DC fast chargers. There are quite a few ultra-rapid (350kW) DC fast chargers available from the likes of Chargefox, Evie and NRMA. Yes there are other DC fast chargers that are 50kW or 75kW, but to label all non-Tesla chargers as taking longer is false.

        • yeah nah yeah on 10/01/2023 - 14:35

          second that; use ChargeFox and PlugShare mobile apps for charger networks and status

    • Heybargain on 07/01/2023 - 07:57

      I top up the car most days using excess solar. So for the most part I’m not paying for charging costs.

      However if I’m not home during the day I charge overnight and it does the job fine for our daily runabouts with the kid.

      Single phase is fine, if you want to you can get an electrician to install a 32A socket which will allow you to charge at faster speeds. Have a read of this helpful doc which outlines type of chargers and charging speeds:

      https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqtgp77e8114wfn/Model3HomeCharging…

      We recently went on a trip from Sydney to Melb in the Tesla over the Christmas / new year. The in built navigation is easy just put in your destination and the car will direct you to where the super chargers are and how long to charge for to get you on your way. Used mostly tesla superchargers along the way and there were no issues / wait times. It acted as a rest stop to stretch legs / go toilet and by the time we did that we were ready to go again with the car charged up.

      Recommended app is called ABRP which also will help you plan your trip using both tesla / non tesla chargers. Non tesla chargers are slower, though cheaper than the superchargers and can at times not be operational. Also to use them you may need to buy a type 2 to type 2 cable (just over $200).

      There’s also another app called plugshare, for the most part will tell you which chargers are operational or not.

      Personally I’m happy with the switch (though was a bit nervous at the start) especially with the changes to an ev and in particular tesla with its uncluttered interior but I love it and wouldn’t go back to an ICE car.

      • cloudy on 07/01/2023 - 08:17

        And what’s the cost per kw of a super charger vs a non Tesla charger?

        • Heybargain on 07/01/2023 - 08:25
          +1

          Tesla - $0.66/kw
          Non tesla - varies from free to $0.40 to $0.50 depending on charger, provider.

            @Heybargain: -
            So a full charge of a 72 kw battery that's 72 x $0.66 = $47.52
            For 450 km of travel that's $0.10 / km
            Cost to Buy: $74,666

            Tested a Totyota Rav4 'Hybrid' SUV recently and managed 880km on $60 petrol
            For 880 km of travel that's $0.06 / km
            Cost to Buy: $42,000

            To have no range issues or needing a garage to charge at home at night, I know which one I would buy

              @[Deactivated]: You must have been driving the most fuel efficient Rav 4 in the world. Assuming $1.80 per litre, you claim to have driven 880km on 33 litres of fuel, or 3.75l per 100k, which is 50% more efficient the most tests show.

              You’re also comparing the cost of your petrol to the cost to charge at an expensive Tesla Supercharger - the majority of people don’t do this.

                You seem upset at the fact that a Hybrid is cheaper to buy and run than a Tosla…

                Fuel was on special where I was @ $1.50 and I filled up 40L

                The results were real world driving. I assume you have not driven a Rav4 Hybrid so you have no experience on the fuel economy saving of a Hybrid in real world driving conditions
                i.e. the regen charges the battery when braking, coasting or going down hill

I have a rav 4 and i love it. But your comparison is just BS

                    @AshB: The comparison was accurate as I am comparing the cheapest Toyota SUV Hybrid (Rav4) with the cheapest Tosla SUV (model Y). Not my concern that the cheapest SUV Tosla offers is $70k

                    In regards to the fuel costs, I always buy at the dip in prices with a supermarket voucher. The price quoted was the 'actual' fuel costs for the trip.

                    In regards to comparing against zero costs to run a Tosla because "everyone in Australia has solar panels":
                    1) You assume people have their cars parked at home during the day for charging (as opposed to using them for work)
                    2) You assume everyone who owns a car has solar panels
                    3) You assume that everyone has a garage to charge their cars (as you cannot charge your Tosla in OSP at home without breaking state / local laws)
                    4) Vic Solar production is low compared to other states especially when you consider the useless feed in tariffs which result in payback periods of 7 years
                    5) Solar panels / Invertors have high failure rates after 5 years. These are never considered into the original payback period calculations TCO.
                    6) If people don't have Solar Panels then you would need to add this cost to the purchase price of a Tosla
                    7) You omitted to include the extra cost for a Tosla wall fast charger

                    @WhatWouldBiggieDo: If you have a Rav4 Hybrid then you would know that you can easily get 5.2L/100km with normal driving.

                    With Eco on and various city / freeway driving, you can achieve better than this. I took photo's of the odom at the start and end of the trip.

                    If you have a Rav4 Hybrid then not sure why you are quoting the 'test' drives that are done in a lab as opposed to your own real world driving figures.

            • igoforthebest on 09/01/2023 - 12:04

              @[Deactivated]: Also factor in the servicing costs and parts for your Toyta. I Agree you get more range from a hybrid, but everyone has different priorities/ needs. Some people dont care about anything and go for the car they love, like buy a $120000 Porche Macan.

                They test their Toyota Landcruiser for 20 years and 1M km in their reliability tests internally.

                There are hundreds of Vids on Tosla and how badly put together a $75K car is. Toyota sell 10x more cars and you never see the same vids,

    • UltimateAI on 09/01/2023 - 11:46

      You are referring to the claims by Martin Eberhard, who founded Tesla Motors in 2003, yet the brand was already owned by another 3rd party. Edberhard's company had zero IP, zero products, zero employees, zero production no business plan to actually make products.
      So when Musk joined, over the next few years they purchased and acquired the brand "Tesla", hired employees, developed a business plan and didn't produce the first car until 2008, well after Musk joined, very much categorising him as a founder. Pretty difficult to argue otherwise if you understand the definition of "founder"

      Out of Interest I asked OpenAI and here is the response….

      Both Elon Musk and Martin Eberhard have been recognized as co-founders of Tesla. While Eberhard was the CEO of Tesla and was responsible for leading the development of the Tesla Roadster, Musk played a crucial role in providing funding and strategic direction for the company.

      Ultimately, the recognition of someone as a founder is subjective and can depend on the specific circumstances and the individual's contributions to the company. It is common for someone to join a company as a founder after it has already been formed, to differentiate they are known as co-founders.

      Co-founders often play a leadership role in the company and are involved in decision-making and problem-solving. In some cases, a co-founder may also be a financial investor in the company.

      Yes. It is dependant on your electricity costs. But I’m home most days during the week so utilise excess solar so charging doesn’t cost me anything.

        It still cost you something, any excess would be sent to grid for some thing…

        • UltimateAI on 09/01/2023 - 11:58

          For myself excess to the grid is 5c per kwh, so I can see why they said "doesn't cost me anything".
          To answer your question, I rented one and ran it down, put around 71kwh in which cost me $15 at ~0.22c.
          I don't own one, but considering an EV.
          I would consider a move to off-peak rates to take advantage of lower rates at night, or possibly even a controlled load.
          Considered a battery, but the ROI doesn't make sense (for me).

      Great to see that BYD included a speedo screen on the dash unlike the cheap Tosla with no speedo screen in front of the driver

      https://bydautomotive.com.au/brochures/BYD-ATTO-3-2022.pdf

      Warren Buffett has invested large amounts in BYD and zero in Tesla. As a world renowned long term investor, he understands a well run company vs marketing dribble hype of the Tosla

      • UltimateAI on 09/01/2023 - 12:04

        Warren Buffett has great respect for Elon Musk, he has cited this multiple times. Once famously explaining why he wouldn't invest in Tesla (none of the reasons you have said, more to do with not understanding technology and the moats by traditional automakers), but went on to say no way he would BET against Tesla.
        BYD and Tesla are not betting against each other, they are both competing against traditional automakers targeting different markets.
        BYD are targeting people who want a traditional car with an EV drivetrain and modern accessories.
        Tesla are targeting people who want an entirely different experience with safety first.
        Yes there will be some overlap, like Polestar who also make great EVs.

      Why and how could you register a vehicle to drive on the road before it has been delivered?

    I can't believe people are jumping up and down over this.. it's around 3-4% price drop, not even half what other countries are getting. You could get 2x equivalent hybrids for that price still..

    Hang on to your money people: personally, I'm holding out for the MG4 - and if the screw over people like BYD did, will settle for 2ndhand teslas when they drop over 10%

      What equivalent hybrid is $35k in your mind?

    Ignoring his the politics of Elon, personally I just wouldn't want to spend 70k on a car from a company run by someone so temperamental. Especially when so much of the car is software controlled/impacted. It doesn't speak to long-term reliability and security in terms of ability to get parts, longevity of company and security of the purchase.

      He shouldn't be CEO, he's basically leads the engineers, it's just the Tesla is primarily an engineering company.
      Ever met an engineer that wasn't bonkers? This engineer talks direct to the public, that is the key difference.
      Steve Jobs was an absolute nut case, we just didn't have social media. Didn't stop me using an Apple phone.

    This brand always re-tickles the internal moral compass. Such a good product, but then there's that arse hat…

      It's pretty clear he's trying to do the right thing, but publicly messing it up at times (which is actually pretty much all just silly tweets, with a little anti-union and anti-public transport folly).

      Making a good quality engineered product requires enormous work, repeated good decisions, and being brilliant and driven enough to get the best engineers to work for you.

      The proof is in the pudding, by their fruits ye shall know them, etc

    • harshbdmmaster718 on 07/01/2023 - 17:05

      Yes $70,700 is the amount they pay you if you order the car.
      Not the other way around, lots of people are confused about the deal.

    if you're thinking to get a Tesla - try watching this video -
    lots of giggles - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsb2XBAIWyA
    newer car only took 10 minutes to get there - ah luxury !
    if you want to skip past the perfect parking Audi, BMW and Ford, go to 11:38 and watch that, and then go to 26:36 and enjoy

      That was hilarious to watch $80k+ Model 3 and $100k+ Model S Tosla unable to self park while all the other brands parked just fine. Gold Jerry, Gold !!

      Just search on YouTube for 'Phantom Braking'. The Tosla Vision is a pig with lipstick.

      A reason Kia has longer delivery times.
      Audi, well more of a laugh then a giggle overall!

    Thanks OP, this came in handy. Booked in a test drive today and really enjoyed the car. The misus really loved it. The car will be mainly used by her. Let’s see if Tesla really delivers this between Feb-May this year.

    It’s really sad to see the vast number of haters who have either never driven the car or own a Tesla to talk shit about it just because they don’t like it or hate Elon Musk 🤦‍♂️ cheers to some of the informative people.

    I mentioned earlier, if someone is in the market for a new car and can afford forking out $70k then this is a good buy. The Tesla MY is probably one of the best cars I’ve ever driven and great for families.

    Also those questioning who can afford a $70k car, I thought everyone on ozbargain on $250k/yr +

    It's a shame that Toyota's bz3 isn't planning on being available in Australia anytime soon. But once the likes of Toyota hit the market with EV's lots of things will change?

      Toyota owner is heavily invested in the fossil fuels required for hydrogen. I guess it's like Betamax (hydrogen) versus VHS (battery) again.
