Tesla got another price drop this Monday and those Model 3 are in stock at the moment. If you don't want to wait for the new 2024 version and wish to take the price benefit + government rebate, then give it a go.
The NSW EV stamp duty free and rebate will end by the end of this year. So, if you are looking for those benefits then must be quick.
Referee gets $350 off Model Y & 3 purchase.
Referrer gets $175 credit toward Supercharging, software upgrades, merchandise, service payments or a new vehicle. Limit of 10 referral benefits per calendar year.
Nothing in WA….
Ozbargained
Wait Awhile
Wait Aminute
Imagine the look on people that purchased a Model 3 to make a quick profit and realising the price had further dropped.
Is this the high yield OZB investment…..?
I regularly see people putting up ads of Teslas with ~2000km odo costing 5000$ more than brand new ones. What are they smoking!!
Cheaper than used on carsales!
Nah mate. Old inventory stock for the new release. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Same price as an i30N now so we getting closer to performance/fun cars, government rebates need to do a tiny bit better or more charging infrastructure and it would be more worth it imo. But then again fuel is at an all time high.
Definitely agree more charging infrastructure would be better, but remember that for 99% of the time, you will charge it at home. Only a real benefit for when you do a road trip.

Yeah if only we could get someone else to pay for all the things we want, that'd be great…
How much is the subscription fee for a Tesla?
Is it monthly or yearly ???
$10 pm for car internet
What about seat heating?
Included and you don't need a subscription for heating.
free of charge
@jv you talking about BMW who will charge sub for seat heating.
$10 pm for car internet
Looks like it will go up significantly to include sat nav after the free subscription finishes….
Nope, I am still paying $10 pm for the car internet
@jv: If anything they may pull destination routing from the free base layer and move it into the $10/m level I'd guess.
Right now you only pay if you want to have internet streaming in the car, and satellite IMAGERY, and traffic congestion displayed in your maps.
I don't pay the $10. navigation works fine, I prefer outline over photo maps anyway. I Bluetooth my audio ( audible mainly) so I didn't see the value in it. If you sit in your car a lot and want to watch netflix then sure maybe .. but you can also tether to your phone for internet (when parked).
from the free base layer and move it into the $10/m level I'd guess.
Yep, and increase the price…
Aren't they paying something the $99 per month in the US ???
I waiting for a 7 seat SUV option that doesnt cost over $100k…..the KIA EV9 looks great, but i aint spending that sort of money to get my family from A-B!
It would get your family from B back to A as well
Only after waiting an hour or two to recharge…
Longer because said charger is out of order… :)
Only after waiting an hour or two to recharge…
Only if B has a charger. If B only has a 10A wall socket you'll be waiting a day…
Needs to get under EV LCT of $89K
2nd hand ICE SUV … better for the environment to keep an existing car on the road
Yay, I'm doing the world a favour by having a 20 year-old Crummycore!!
better for the environment to keep an existing car on the road
Shhh you're spoiling the biggest grift in history…
Environmentalism has moved on from Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, the new slogan is Replace! Replace! Replace! And preferably at the tax players expense.
Nothing says environmentalism like the biggest infrastructure replacement of the modern era.
The Sorento PHEV will get you in under LCT. (PHEV and EV have the same LCT cap of 89332).
Any EV under LCT also opens up the FBT component through novated leasing thanks to the fed gov.
This is why BMW just dropped the iX3 sport (89100) down 16k from the iX3 sport pro to take advantage of it.
Talk about knowing your market!
Did they finally get rid of the lightning port in 2024 model?
What lightning port? There was never a lightning port in any of the models.
Then how would you charge your iphone?
the only reason i would buy a tesla or any electric car is for the self driving. hopefully ( probably already done) they put it in petrol cars to
Self driving for Tesla will NEVER eventuate. They can try all they want and have been crunching the numbers since 2015 now.
I have spoken.
i dont even really mean the full self driving. whatever they have now is good enough for me. highway driving and stop start traffic will do. just put it in a petrol car lol
My toyota RAV4 2022 has that. I only paid 43.5k including tow bar. Even MG cheapo cars have lane keep etc. No need to pay 55k just for that.
@WhyAmICommenting: Lane keep is not designed for suburbia. Motorway only.
I have test driven the model Y and 3 for one hour each. The lane keep is comparable to Toyota tech.
I hear the auto wiper and auto lights are atrocious in Tesla. The latter is also bad in Toyota.
Do these M3 have Matrix LED head lights??
@Naigrabzo: My car (Kia) does lane keeping at 50+ and I have to turn it off every local trip - so annoying
@WhyAmICommenting: That's just annoying. Poor design. In toyota you have to turn ON each trip.
In Europe the powers be have brought a law that forces car companies to have speed beeps that need to be cancelled for each trip!
Pretty sure that on the M3, I had to pull stalk twice to active lane keep. The beeps in the Teslas are so soothing as well.
whats everyone paying for insurance on these? also any problems with home insurance if they find out you are keeping one in the garage?
paying $1,150.00 insurance + $500+ for rego in WA
no problem with home insurance (same company with the car)
Is that more expensive than it should be? Or it is on par?
This is a good question if there is a battery fire etc. I strongly suggest you ask your insurer or read ALL the fine print. Remember the home insurance chicken egg scandal?

the new one is way nicer, if you are spending that much might as well wait a few months and spend a few k extra, its a big upgrade in style and extra stuff on the inside
And lose the stalk and ultrasonic sensors.
I think the ultrasonic is already gone
on the new one its gone because the system uses cameras to do that task now, the review i watched yesterday said it does not work to well unfortunatly but im sure there will be some software updates to make it work better in the future
@Roe Jogan: Sadly it'll be very difficult for cameras alone to be as reliable as ultrasonic sensors when determining depth.
This is the old model so it’s outdated and not desirable
And ugly as sin, new model looks way better
If you're willing to pay $10k extra, yes.
Worth 10k less though. You get free steering wheel stalks.
Good price, wonder when will model 2 arrive on australia. The budget tesla
Straight after the first delivery of Cybertruck in Australia.
cybertruck has been confirmed not to be coming to aus. which sucks
That's when model 2 will ariive. :) HAHAHA.
@Roe Jogan: Haha. It's like the hyperloop and Mars settlement. Musk loves high risk projects. Most don't pan out and some do.
@Roe Jogan: Fair call. One needs to aim high.
Get a Rimac Nivera and it will do 1.9s but it is about 2mil.
Or that Owl car but it will prob be 10mil given only 50 were produced.
OMG
meh ill keep enjoying my v8
How’s the fuel bill?
So, pretty sure this Long Range just qualifies, by $20, for the QLD EV rebate - could b a big first! 🤔
Anyone know why when you select WA it says there is nothing available? Do they not deliver to WA? The rest of the stock seems standard for vic/sa/nsw…
There’s been no 3s for a few weeks now in WA. Still plenty of Ys though. I wonder if they’ll have any more in or if that’s it until the new model arrives?
Do they not deliver to WA?
You could drive it back but it would take you 6 months…
Bought 2, Thank you
Marry me
Convenient timing with today's high court win for Vic EV owners. Although it might mean the Federal Government has to move to impose a national tax.
…. A federal tax might not be unconstitutional like the state tax has been judged.
One wonders if we can all get rego refunds; as that might be a levy too?
Convenient timing with today's high court win for Vic EV owners.
What a complete debacle this is turning out to be. The gov is offering subsides for expensive cars, then at the same time unable to charge user charges so the taxpayer gets stung twice while the upper classes get a free ride at everyone else's expense. In what world did this sound like a good idea?
Does the $55k one do the fully autonomous driving
FSD is not free on any of the models. It's an add on that you can purchase any time. FSD hasn't been rolled out in Australia yet, and is not worth it at this point in time. In saying that, Tesla have recently hired several FSD testers across Australia which indicates that they are working on releasing it here.
None of them do. FSD is the best grift of the century. Save your 11k.
No Wa again?
Tinfoil covered MAGA hats on wheels getting cheaper with every new Musk scandal
Thanks op, just bought 5. :)
Does anyone own a tesla and rent in an apartment whereby home overnight charging is not an option.
Relying purely on charging stations in the sydney metro areas. Is it a pain in the a** and not worth it overall
There are some new products being developed for apartments: Large battery that trickle charges but provides fast DC charge to the car. This will probably be the future for apartments that don't have electrical infrastructure for everyone to have their own charger in each space. Even if you're a renter, it's worth starting to raise your need to body corporate so it's on the agenda for future upgrades.
Yes, 2+ years with a Tesla and had no issues charging in Metro Syd. Live in an apartment and exclusively use public charging.
Factor in time wasted with thinking about, planning and actually charging using public chargers. Then you can see whether it's worth it for you. Personally I would just get a Hybrid until you get your own charging spot. Money saved can be put toward funding your next purchase; your own garage.
What hybrids would you be looking at?
The Wallabies colourways were dismissed in the first round.
Only four colorways remaining including the All Blacks
