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

          My car came with EAP for free, the uplift to FSD was what I paid for. Whilst I always knew it wouldn't be ready for Dec 2019 as promoted, it is now Jan 2023 and there is almost no chance Australia will see a city driving FSD in the next 2 years. Tesla also values the FSD option as zero when/if you trade the car, so basically, I was misdirected into funding the development of FSD for future buyers whilst getting nothing back. Love the car, but not a fanboy of the company nor CEO.

          • xdigger on 10/01/2023 - 11:24

            @sockpuppy: Wow thanks for sharing. I did some googling and it seems full FSD is only available in certain cities in USA and China and Europe.

      And increase your chances of lung associated health problems later in life with the petrol fumes. Or lose your legs in a horrific car accident while you could have survived with no body part loss inside a tesla.

    • knasty on 06/01/2023 - 16:11

      If a novated lease made sense or at least break even with fbt, there will be a substantial saving with no FBT.

    • krisspy on 06/01/2023 - 16:33

      My company is with smart leasing and their interest rates are like 10%-11%. A 5 year loan + residual for an atto 3 basically costs the same as the outright price ($48500 at the time I got the quote).

      The fun starts when you add all your running expenses over 5 years Eg. Electricity, rego, insurance - they all get paid pre-tax.

      • apptrack on 06/01/2023 - 16:59

        10-11% is a lot for a car loan.. Macquarie offer comparison 7.8%.

        • krisspy on 06/01/2023 - 17:36
          +2

          It is alot, it's a shame since the 32-47% you're saving on tax is just going to the leasing company. But it still ends up being cheaper than a typical loan.

          I believe cba has a "green" loan for ev/phevs. It's 4%

      • fattymattyd on 06/01/2023 - 17:17

        The leasing company I spoke to said they couldn't include the electricity costs pre-tax, but to (sorta) compensate you could package the installation of a charging point at home.

  • noshopping on 06/01/2023 - 15:58

    Fuel consumption savings of traditional ICE car vs Tesla model Y.

    Tesla model Y standard range (RWD) consumes 13.4kWh per 100km.
    Assume energy is 30c per kW x 13.4 = $4.02 per 100km.

    Most ICE cars today use about 10L per 100km.
    $2/Ltire for 95/98 Fuel x 10 = $20 per 100km.

    Tesla is nearly 5x cheaper to run.

    *30c energy price assumes you're charging at home and not at SuperCharger site.

    • Terencey on 06/01/2023 - 16:15

      My Forester is doing 8.5/100km. That's $17 per 100km. I do around 15,000km a year. I would have saved $1950 a year, meaning that it would take me 10 years to break even

      • SBOB on 06/01/2023 - 17:01
        +2

        meaning that it would take me 10 years to break even

        What's the maths if you include servicing costs (which are clearly higher on the Forester than the Tesla) on the break even period?

        • Terencey on 06/01/2023 - 17:08
          +4

          Tesla's insurance is 60% more expensive. That more than makes up for the savings in servicing

          • WhatWouldBiggieDo on 06/01/2023 - 19:31

            @Terencey: How can you definitively say that the Tesla has dearer insurance? Insurance costs a different amount for everyone, and depends on many thousands of variables.

              @WhatWouldBiggieDo: I can't speak for everyone, but it's logical to think that a more expensive car (and a higher risk one) would command a higher insurance premium for most people

    • mkh1991 on 06/01/2023 - 16:17
      +3

      Not comparing apples to apples but Telsa model Y is $40K more expensive than the traditional Toyota Camry. At a fuel economy of 6L/100 KM, assuming you drive 25000 Km/year at a fuel price of $2 per litre ($3000/annum), it will be 13+ years for the additional cost to break even.

      • Bypass on 06/01/2023 - 16:38

        My mum owns a 2019 Camry, it get's nowhere near 6l/100km, more like 8-9l/100km. And why compare to a base model Camry price to a Tesla?

          +2

          I compared the mileage and the price of the new Camry and even the base model Tesla 3 is $70k in Australia.

          Vehicle Subtotal (including GST) $65,700
          Includes delivery fee of $1,400 and order fee of $400
          Local Stamp Duty $4,271
          Local Registration Costs $516
          Local CTP $469
          Local Plate Fee $31
          On Road Fees Subtotal $5,287

          Drive Away Price $70,987

          • Bypass on 06/01/2023 - 17:34

            @mkh1991: The Camry and Model Y aren't at all comparable. A better comparison would be a Rav4($40k+), but even still Tesla is a premium brand while Toyota is a value brand.

    • AshB on 06/01/2023 - 16:23

      This comparison very bias towards evs. Most of the hybrid ICE run less than 6l per km real world and tesla never ever can do 13.4kWh real wirld. And, non of the hybrids need 95/98 petrol.

      • machej on 06/01/2023 - 16:29

        Not to mention the energy price for people in NSW/QLD/SA is unrealistic unless charging offpeak. Vic does have power prices less than that though.

      mate you lost your marbles if you think your saving - you pay $40k more for a car - how long will that take to save
      not to mention your insurance is higher

      even if your electricity is free - say solar - you still wont save enough if you only do 7k-10k a year in kms which you would be on that junk
      no way you can take a Tesla for a decent trip

          So, do you live in rural Australia then?

          You're correct, there are not enough chargers in rural areas.
          But you've cherry picked a very specific use case.

          It also doesn't help that a lot of EV owners insist on fully charging at some of these chargers when they may only need to charge for 20-30 minutes (rather than 60+).
          Over time, people's habits will hopefully adapt along with better infrastructure.

    A lot of lefties are also turned off by Musk.
    There is also a very high chance of recession this coming year.
    Tesla is also one of the most "profitable" cars - earning 8x more per car than say Toyota.

      When compared to BYD numbers which is a combination of Hybrid + Pure EV, media is just bashing Tesla and making the stats look worst of Tesla.

          The waitlist is like end of 2024 (2-yrs).

          Other manufactures can't build pure EV as fast as Tesla.

          Share price has nothing to do with how Tesla runs the business, share price is based on investor sentiment.
          Tesla share price is way overprice anyway, but that does not change any factual information the business itself is highly profitable and will continue to grow.

    Still too much.

    From my experience, people drive Teslas so they can tell you, they drive a Tesla.

    Any they don't just tell you they drive a Tesla; it's typically the exact specifics e.g. "mine is the Performance Model Y with dual motors and all-wheel drive in metallic red. I opted for the enhanced autopilot and conduction wheels. It can do 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 250km/h. I don't like the attention but it really is a head turner…".

      I drive a Tesla. I don’t tell people I drive a Tesla.
      To me it’s just a car.

        I love a bargain.
        I don't tell people I love a bargain.
        To them I'm just a tight arse.

      I can do it in 3.7 seconds but the look on her face afterwards stops me from being so quick
