      Would be nice to see a price anywhere!

      • And what a load of hogwash.
        Seriously who believes this…
        "To support Australia’s transition to cleaner transport, and the proposed New Vehicle Efficiency Standards"

        Its more like…
        "We are seriously overstocked because the rush to EVs has suddenly stopped"

        • More like Tesla is killing us, we can't ship this ice Volvo's with a battery strapped to them.

          If your a family of more then 2 the Tesla's have a lot more space in the back, they don't have a big empty hump in the back.

          • @811b11e8: Not empty. They put batteries in there. That way they can make space in the footwells for people's feet.

            His arguably the person to bring EVs mainstream in the west, the first to build a global Ev charging network.

            He did popularise it by stealing it but EV is barely mainstream in the west. It's main stream like frisbee world championship is mainstream. Also lets applaud the charging network that purposefully used to proprietary charging outlet with no benefits associated with said outlet.

            Fixed a big chunk of Australias energy grid in a very short time with his battery in SA. Pioneered the way for others to eventually follow.

            Right so the government had nothing to do with it, space Karen grifter is doing out of the kindness of his heart

            musky boi stans gonna stan

            • @bigpoppa: I'm hardly a fan of Elon Musk, but this idea that he's uniquely bad for any of the reasons you're citing is laughable. Would you expect an automotive CEO to act any differently?

              It's the CEO's fiduciary responsibility to do what is best in the interest of shareholders.

              Why should it be in Musk's interest to support California High Speed Rail, for example, when he is an automotive executive? Are the CEOs of Ford and General Motors supportive of California High Speed Rail? What about airline executives? Airline and automotive executives have been lobbying against public transport for decades before Musk came around.

              Similarly, why is it Musk's responsibility to make universal charging networks instead of proprietary? Apple used proprietary connectors (i.e. Lightning) for years. It's the responsibility of governments to make regulations to ensure compatibility and universality, just like the EU did with Apple.

              Obviously I'm not trying to defend Musk and say that he's an upstanding guy, but the polarisation around him personally is ridiculous.

                No cos the rest of them don't pretend to be some kind of genius entrepreneur electric Jesus while being a beneficiary of an apartheid and being a racist petulant manchild of a space Karen grifter.

                It's the CEO's fiduciary responsibility to do what is best in the interest of shareholders.

                Explains why he's 1 tanking it, 2 gambling with it, 3 manipulating the market for personal gain and so on and so forth.

                Why should it be in Musk's interest to support California High Speed Rail, for example, when he is an automotive executive?
                I didn't say he didn't support it. I said he DESTROYED it. Big difference.

                Similarly, why is it Musk's responsibility to make universal charging networks instead of proprietary?

                If he doesn't have to make it universal and he hasn't made it universal then STFU about him contributing positively to the humanity like Alexander Graham Bell or Einstein.

                but the polarisation around him personally is ridiculous.

                  is this the new throw away line for your musky-boi-stans?

                  Not sure what you mean by "musky-boi-stan", I'm not any more or less a fan of Elon Musk than I am of any other executive. The idea that everyone is either an adoring fan, or seething with hatred for him is a bit silly don't you think?

                  No cos the rest of them don't pretend to be some kind of genius entrepreneur

                  Every CEO believes they're "some kind of genius entrepreneur".

                  while being a beneficiary of an apartheid

                  Sure, but the vast majority of CEOs are white, and would be (by the same logic) beneficiary of some form of white privilege. Again, not saying that this is right, merely that this is a societal problem, not an "Elon Musk problem".

                  I didn't say he didn't support it. I said he DESTROYED it. Big difference.

                  Sure, but the automotive and airline industries have been destroying public transport in the US for decades through political lobbying. Again, it's a societal problem, not an "Elon Musk problem".

                  If he doesn't have to make it universal and he hasn't made it universal then STFU about him contributing positively to the humanity

                  Where have I said that he is contributing positively to humanity. Calm down my friend.

                  like Alexander Graham Bell

                  So patenting an invention, then building up one of the largest monopolies in US history through the Bell Telephone Company, which consistently used litigation as a means of protecting their monopoly, and was only broken up by Congress when it was clear that they were in violation of antitrust law?

                  Again, not making a comment on whether Alexander Graham Bell specifically was a great guy or not, but this is just a strange example to pick.

                  or Einstein.

                  Einstein was a scientist, so not sure what the relevance is here.

                  see first rebuttal about musky-boi-stans

                  Again, I'm not defending Elon Musk, rather, trying to understand what exactly it is you're saying ant the logic behind it.

                  • @p1 ama: the reply to everything you said is go read previous comments and get someone to help you connect the already connected dots on why a general problem is not a rebuttal to a problem directly linked to one person dear musky-boi-stan

            Also just to copy and pasty few information below for you to understand more. Really encourage you to read more about the history before write down the comment here.

            Roosevelt made support of China during the Second Sino-Japanese War. The US allied itself with the Republic of China (ROC), under which the Chinese Civil War had paused, with the ROC and Chinese Communist Party (CCP) forming a unified front to fight the Japanese—after the Americans joined the war against Japan in 1941.

            • @JasperAnderson: I know Chinese history and I stand by my comment. Both CCP & ROC took help from Allies to beat Japan but CCP remained forever ungrateful.

                @dealhunter52: Apparently based on what you just said they were flighting Japanese with US , then how they were on their own side?

              • @dealhunter52: LOL Mate, British took help from Allies to beat German and also took help from China to beat Japan in India & Southeast Asia too.

                • @Polepolebear: British still appreciate all the help from Allies to this day, unlike China. China was so weak that If Allies didn't beat Japan, China would still be a Japanese colony.

                  • @dealhunter52: Didn’t think British appreciate the help from all the Allies. I can say the same thing if Soviet Union didn’t beat the German , British would still be a Germany colony.

                      @Polepolebear: LoL…Soviets didn't beat German all by themselves. Russians only held the East side for German Empire, and if not for Allied forces in the West, would had easily fallen after they were smashed in Stalingrad in 1942 and hanging on by the thread. Thanks to help from Allies and US secret weapon called Lend-Lease, they were able to turn the tide in the East.

                      Do you know under Lend-Lease US provided $11 billion in materials (equivalent to $148 billion in 2023) over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles (including 7,000 tanks, about 1,386 of which were M3 Lees and 4,102 M4 Shermans); 11,400 aircraft (of which 4,719 were Bell P-39 Airacobras, 3,414 were Douglas A-20 Havocs and 2,397 were Bell P-63 Kingcobras) and 1.75 million tons of food to Russia.

    I test drove one of these. Really good driving experience but didn't like it overall. UI was not great for but had good voice controls, and the map on the dashboard was really good too. I didn't like the big centre console that extends up (felt like wasted storage space) and the footwell was slanted so it made it awkward getting out.

    • +1

      I second the driving experience (week rental). That oomph, my head tilts back cartoonishly every time. 0-100 in under fiveish but never felt I could lose control. That glass roof was nice too. Boot fits two normal-sized luggages. Back seat was also roomy enough for two consenting adults of average height to not feel as cramped. Ten/ten would rent again. Wouldn't buy though.

      • A proper refresh getting rid of the issues and tightening the price would be great and make it an option. The long range is under $70k plus on road costs.

UI was adequate, but some weird mix of Android Auto and not. Couldn't connect my phone fuller, and kept having issues navigating around the system. Wouldn't buy one myself, but also wouldn't shun one if someone was handing them out for free.

      I have had a P2 since their release in Aus and love it. Best car I've ever had. Google integration is excellent, I use it just for maps. I bluetooth my phone for music etc.
      I don't have an issue with the foot well : friend has a P2 and said I should try stretching out my legs and reclining (which is what it was probably designed for). I was too used to sitting 'upright' in an SUV position. Once I started sitting in the reclined position, it started to feel fantastic.
      Back seats are fine for my small kids.
      I'm not a hoon so I don't care so much about 1-100kph specs, but zooming through busy roundabouts is great.
      Range is perfect for my city needs, I rarely leave the city and can use my second car (toyota hybrid) if needed.
      Looks different to all the other Teslas out there (which would be high on my list of choices).
      Only niggle is the sensitive rear AEB which can I can turn off.
      It will do nicely for a few years until the next car.
