First post. Looks like the Tesla Model Y's pricing is going down and down as they are trying to clear out stocks with silver wheel caps and no HW4.

Note: These pricing are based on white colour (which may not be available in all locations)

Model Y RWD from $61,980
Model Y LR from $70,170
Model Y Performance from $80,410

$400 Order fee
$1,400 Delivery fee
On-road cost (varies with state)
Estimated delivery: Should be quite fast as it is inventory stock

*Updated title to include delivery fee and order fee.

    Dayum!! At this rate it will be cheaper than the Rav4 Hybrid soon.

    ICE cars are increasing in price and EV's are decreasing in price. Will be interesting to watch.

    • whitepuma on 07/04/2024 - 08:34

      I reckon a big reason for the drop is because of the lithium ore price crash. Would be interesting to see if prices fluctuate with lithium ore in the future

      Makes sense doesn't it??? Best selling passenger car in Australia would have the most pre-owned inventory??

      • whitepuma on 07/04/2024 - 09:30

        I didn't say "has the most pre-owned inventory", I'm not comparing it to other cars, I'm comparing it to itself….so whether it's the best selling passenger car in Australia or not it makes no difference as I'm not comparing it's stock levels to other makes/brands.

        If you read the article, there is more to it than popularity, it's got to do with the ending of leases and people then upgrading to the newer model.

        This isn't a contest, just something to take note of it you want to get the best bargain possible.

    we looked at tesla , byd , bmw and mercedes ,

    finally decided to go with EQA
    few facts
    tesla , byd and BMW - made in china
    EQA - made in Germany - super build quality, material and feel

    EQA comes with 3 year free charging
    EQA interior and software MBUX with amg line is amazing

    anyway the resale will be bad for electric, atleast we could enjoy the premium feel

    • Wokstar on 07/04/2024 - 09:24

      Spoke to my tyre guy the other day about electric cars are tyre usage. He mentioned the Teslas are okay on tyres, because I had considered a Model Y before purchasing my current ICE vehicle and had concerns on tyre usage. He didn't say exactly which Mercedes but an EQ of some sort, but said it was a small one but I presume is the EQA/EQB was really bad on tyre usage. Described the driver as an old lady and wouldn't have been driving the tyres off it (unlike my mate with the Y still with plenty of tread on 17,000km at the time), said the Merc came in on almost bald tyres at 5,000km, and said it probably should have been changed even at 4,000.
      Pretty scary if you're going through premium tyres on a premium electric car every 5,000km.

      • apaul on 07/04/2024 - 09:29

        Not sure about EQA , my cousin has got an EQB 4matic with 22k and absolutely loves it. Mercedes was not in my list till I saw their car.

        Another friendof mine (in USA ) changed his lease from Audi etron to model Y, and according to him , Y felt like box with a screen. Loves Ys performance though

      You also forgot option C which involves having solar panels on your house, which most Tesla owners I know have.

            QLD is generating 92.74% from coal/gas

              Reality is you can keep buying your ICE cars, no one is stopping you or hating you for it, certainly not me. I think you need to divert more of your hard earned wealth to the coal industry, keep those guys happy. And the oil sheikh thanks you for it.

              • skysurfer on 08/04/2024 - 12:02

                @dangerdanger: You should do the numbers on the amount of coal and gas power that went in to manufacturing your solar system and your EV. Dont forget to include the power required to mine and refine all the metals, plastics, glass etc. and add in the fuel to transport it all through the world wide supply chain from mines to end user.

                Actually this calculation has already been done by various organisations and the result is not a net positive energy outcome for solar.

    • Sunman on 07/04/2024 - 10:24
      +1

      Will give you 7kw per hour. Just divide the total battery size by 7. Note it's a rough guide, real world will be around 6.7kw. Also if calculating electricity usage add another 10%.

      • NoBargainNoLife on 07/04/2024 - 10:56
        +2

        I use the mobile charger which is the slowest option, plug in the wall like any home appliance or your phone charger. 2kw/per hour is very slow but more than enough for my 100km daily commute. Plug in at night then it takes 7 hours to charge to 100%. Best thing ever, I wake up with full charge every day if you want to (I dont need to charge it every day though).

        If you drive hundreds of KM every day, better to invest in the home wall charger costs $1000+ including installation. tesla wall charger gives you 11kw per hour so for my day trip just 1 hour-ish of charging brings me back to 100%. 0-100% would be 5.5 hours ish if you have the base model 60kw variant.

        • Sunman on 07/04/2024 - 11:45

          Yep remember you dont needd to charge 0-100% everyday, as you never run your EV to 0% everyday. Seems logical enough but a lot of people keep stressing about -100%. Also note home AC charging speeds are dependent on whether you have a single or three phase power supply to your home, what is the maximum AC power your EV can accept, what is the max power output of your wall charger and max power of the circut the wall charger is sitting on.

          My e.g. is three phase home, three phase 22kw charger with circut, but max AC 7kw for my EV.

          • NoBargainNoLife on 07/04/2024 - 14:47

            @Sunman: @Sunman
            Yes absolutely. I just give the rough figure for people new to EV who always want to know 0-100% like you mentioned, which I never had to do so, and I only fully charge it once a week.

            I dont own a wall charger (since I found my free mobile charger is more than enough for me) so I forgot different phases will give you different outputs. I used a few times destination wall chargers from hotels and supermarkets that always gave me 11kw hence I got that 11kw impression..

        • mirz on 07/04/2024 - 13:20

          • NoBargainNoLife on 07/04/2024 - 14:54

            @mirz: No worries, if EV will be your only car, another question that would be equally important is where you go for road trips.

            If your lifestyle is to constantly camp in the middle of nowhere, EV is not there yet.

            However, nowadays in AU unless you drive to the wild outback, you always have charging stations nearby..I roundtripped in my base model 3 a few times from Sydney to Adelaide via Melbourne, then back via Mildura never had any issues.

            • Sunman on 07/04/2024 - 15:41

              @NoBargainNoLife: I have been hesitant to use my EVs for long trips, probably unfounded paranoia. I will be looking to get something with a real world range of over 500km for my next EV.

              • NoBargainNoLife on 07/04/2024 - 16:11

                @Sunman: Not sure which make you drive but at least for Tesla, from Sydney to Melbourne to Adelaide, every hour or so you will get a supercharger, not to mention more and more third parties on the road, Evie, foxcharger, NRMA etc.
                Via Mildura is a bit challenging as not many Tesla superchargers but third-party chargers served me well, just not having that peace of mind, compared to tesla superchargers.

                I am sure you also use the ABRP APP so you can see the trip plans.

      I don’t do free education especially for someone who refuse to be educated, but I do anyway if I see some one like you spreading false information rather than just shut up their uneducated mouth and brain (if they have one). Don’t be mislead but the eye catching news titles, they report every EV fire to catch you but never report any ICE fire because that’s too normal.

      “Passenger electric vehicles have a 0.0012 per cent chance of catching fire, according to research from EV FireSafe, which provides free EV fire safety knowledge for emergency responders. In comparison, petrol or diesel-powered cars have roughly a 0.1 per cent chance of igniting.

      In other words, an EV passenger vehicle is around 100 times less likely to catch fire than a traditional vehicle.

      If you need to make noise to “impress” people, just buy a portable speaker.

      Nice to see that toxic masculinity is still alive and still moronic

    you can't win these discussions, because both sides have some good arguments. I would just look at the price history and market sentiment. As long as prices are going down most people aren't buying and inventory is sitting longer than expected in warehouses. We are still very early on the adoption curve and there aren't many incentives for Australians to go electric…compared to Norway for example. Currently new electric cars are just a want, rather than a need or smart financial decision and you are supporting the shift to EVs, make it cheaper for everyone else. To make sense for everyone, they have to cost the same or less. As soon as you have to take out the calculator and predict the future you are losing, at least, half the population.

      What's it with you being rational and all?!

      Pick a side and fight like a rabid canine, mate. That seems to be the ongoing trend.

      Big incentives for the rich with fringe benefit tax exemption. But let’s face it they are expensive and only the rich can really afford them. Mind you even a hybrid Toyota is now pushing $40k if you want decent specs
