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

                @mooney: lol, you rather it was the government controlling Twitter content which it was before Musk bought the company

                I'm curious to know whom are the "Nazis" you are referring to?

                  @coke9: How about Andrew Anglin? He Nazi enough for you?

                  I can categorically say I had a strong preference for Twitter pre Musk. It was flawed but was on a better path than the sh*thole it’s becoming now.

                    @mooney: I've never heard of him

                    Musk has removed thousands of accounts from Twitter due to child exploitation since he took over yet folks still bag him?

                      @coke9: And now you know him. He’s a neo Nazi. And he’s currently on Twitter spouting hate again, thanks to Musk.

                      As for Musk removing thousands of child exploitation accounts. That’s largely been debunked. And depending on where you get your news there’s also this pesky fact:

                      https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-11-29/musk-s-cu…

                      Anyway. I’ve discussed Musk too much today. That man is an idiot. He’s not worth anyone’s time or adoration.

                  @Almost Banned: I’m suggesting if you think Twitter has anything to do with free speech before, or now, you have a poor understanding of what free speech is.

                    @mooney: You were the one who mentioned free speech.
                    As for the issue - people had no problem with billionaires owning social media companies until one of them was Musk. Funny that.
                    Also, isn't it strange that people say that free speech is irrelevant to Twitter, then get their panties in a twist when Musk kicks off some jounos for doxxing?

        I upvoted your comment but having agreed that 3.7 sec is extremely good, I guess if you often do a stand still acceleration let's say 0-100 in 4 sec or so, I bet the range could drop from 500 km a charge to 300km quite quickly. But yes for $100K a car can accelerate in 3.7 sec is a bargain

          Suggest you look into reliability of Tesla cars delivered from their Shanghai factory, which is where current Australian models come from.

          By and large, they are MUCH more reliable and well built than US (Fremont) built cars. I hear good things about the Berlin and Texas factories too, but they don't supply Australia.

            @trapper:

            That not part of the car btw

            Yes it is, from the article.

            That part you're looking at is the Model Y's Liquid Cooled Condenser (LCC).
            Tesla's unique octavalve cooling system found in the Model Y that is responsible for conditioning the car's cabin, battery, and drive unit simultaneously.
            The trim appears to be providing some strain relief for the strap holding the LCC in place, perhaps to keep the tension from providing unnecessary stress on the condenser during vibration or flexing, or to prevent any sharp corners from severing the strap itself.

            • trapper on 06/01/2023 - 20:23

              @spaceflight: The article is wrong, like you lol

                @trapper: You clearly have no idea what you're on about, it's not "some manufacturing or transportation packing stuff left inside"

                If it was there for transportation only then why would you want to drive the car without it as it would mean the LCC is to fragile to support itself during transport and would be broken by normal driving.

                Not to mention on other batches of cars it's plastic, not wood.

                • trapper on 07/01/2023 - 11:43

                  @spaceflight: You will not find this 'part' listed in any Tesla catalogue or documentation anywhere, because it's not a part of the car.

                  It's a random piece of packaging that it is supposed to be removed before the customer receives the car.

                  Use some common sense for a second.

      You're suggesting someone wanting to buy a Tesla would buy a BYD? In which case you simply do not understand how products, brand nor consumers work.

      We have tiered petrol car brands now. We have for over 100 years. Same will be said about electric cars and is true before this.

      People considering a Model Y won't be rushing to buy a BYD. That's laughable.

      People that can't or won't buy a Tesla may. But it's a low range, slow charging, cheap built, unreliable POS, and will attract a buyer akin to that.

        You want to bet? There's multiple people above me (management) who were considering Teslas initially that saw the BYD Atto 3 and promptly jumped ship.
        Tesla's brand isn't as premium as you make out. Rich people get richer by not spending their money and a BYD Atto 3 isn't exactly a budget spec.

        People that can't or won't buy a Tesla may. But it's a low range, slow charging, cheap built, unreliable POS, and will attract a buyer akin to that.

        420km's is more than enough for you average commute
        80kw DC charging still charges pretty rapidly (rapidly enough to have a rest after 400k's of driving).
        now sure where you got the unreliable POS from - Source? And just look at Tesla's reliability…

          A BMW, VW, or Hyundai option, for sure. Not BYD.

          Rich people are the ones buying Tesla's. Now middle class and those willing to stretch. Thats how branding works. Same as Rich people drop $50k on a handbag. Then middle class grab $5k ones feeling rich and then others aspire. Its how luxury brands work.

          People who can buy a Tesla are not changing for a BYD. They will for other premium brands.

          Not true. Only the few that Tesla has opened to non-Tesla EV as part the trial.

            @Homr: Even worst in my sale before, said they agreed on $300, then turned up saying he only got $250 in his pocket now, I just walked away and tell them to FO.

            @Homr: Usually they don't show after you reserve it for them, then txt you a few hours later and ask can you deliver it to my place or meet me at the train station. lol

      No, you have to ask for "best price".

    Still seems kind of expensive until you remember it doubles as a coffin

      Basically every vehicle ever. I'd rather my coffin be a bus so there's a lot more room.
