      BYD isn’t a competitor with its poor build quality and even worse local support and service. Car sales are dropping everywhere even for ICE, inflation tends to do that, but media gotta media and push an agenda and say it’s because people aren’t interested in them 🤣

      • +1

        I don't agree with the poor build quality, but 100% agree BYD CEO regularly states they do not compete with Tesla, as they target different customer bases.
        BYD CEO states the second reason they don't compete is the market opportunity to enormous, plenty of room for both companies to grow.

        I'd imagine our scene to be even more competitive given USA doesn't have Chinese brands clawing at their market share. Their tariffs for Chinese brands make them way less appealing.

      • Tesla is selling for 30k USD.

        But is it?

        Because one thing to be aware of is that the US almost never include sales taxes in their advertised prices. Also worth noting is that the US Federal government offers a $7500 tax credit transferable to the dealer. When I plug a California zip code into the US Tesla site and untick the tax credit option, it gives me a price of $44k USD.

      I wish that instead of being so tribal and political about it, we can actually all see how good it is when the public actually see the prices that cars are being sold for as opposed to just some ridiculous RRP that needs you to make a deal at the dealership.

      Back in the day, when prices went down, you wouldn't have a clue. Dealers would just allow deals to drift further down, whilst maintaining the same sticker prices. They just managed their target deal prices to manage stock and sales figures. That used to be opaque, it's just transparent now with Tesla's sales model.

      Today, at least with Tesla, you can see openly what the market is paying. I think that's a great thing and you can see how prices respond to economic conditions in real time.

      Like or dislike Tesla, it's obvious that their pricing model is better for consumers. Yes, even if that means some people feel shitty for buying weeks before a discount.

      If it makes you feel any better, one of my uncles was a Toyota salesman - he regularly spoke about selling a Corolla to a customer, only to sell one for thousands less to the next one to walk through the door because they negotiated better. The idea of prices changing wildly on cars is as old as time.

      Prices go up and down, it's just that you can see it now. If that bothers you and you bought a Tesla, enjoy your car and stop looking.

        Great post, I wholeheartedly agree with you.

        The reason for my post is I went into a dealership to test drive a model Y last month, having done zero research. I could immediately tell the Y looked dated vs the newer model 3, and when I enquired about if there was any update to the Y coming any time soon … "Well it took them 6 years to refresh the Model 3, and the Y has been out 3 years, so probably in another 3 years".
        This was an outright lie which I later discovered after doing some basic research.
        Love the open pricing model, but the dishonest car salesman pitch is still very much alive sadly.

          Love the open pricing model, but the dishonest car salesman pitch is still very much alive sadly.

          Yeah, unfortunate about the dishonest salesman angle - however, good news is that you don't have to deal with them at all and can have a fully online experience if you want, I suppose.

          On reflection, the funny thing is that we used to always ask why car manufacturers couldn't just do a direct to customer model and have flat and transparent pricing. This is probably actually why, because it's in the manufacturer / dealer's interest to keep prices opaque and control the narrative about how much their cars are in demand.

            @drfuzzy: @drfuzzy: I would say he did not expect the price of Tesla Y to fall by $20K in a year which means a second had would be obviously selling $8K to $10K less than the new one.

              @ItsMeAgro: EVs were always destined to become cheap.

              The entire ICE industry has always been propped up despite ailing tech and a near complete lack of practical improvement. Values artificially maintained, supported by a moribund, corrupt and increasingly evil oil industry- it's only purpose being to extract money, power, and resources into the bags of an increasingly small number of individuals. Now these same people are investing in AI, data, armaments, renewables, and electronic technology to keep their wealth.

              The leaches remain firmly attached to a planet that can barely recover from their first investments. Not good!

          Ok let’s look at the actual facts here. Novated leases allow 30% value reduction in the first year. What we are seeing is a return to real second hand car valuations. It has been normal for decades to see new car values plummet, the Covid times were a special case, just like the post GFC luxury car collapse. These valuations are perfectly predictable and follow normal corrections in the market. Overly competitive supply by China was always going to lead to protective measures. In Australia we had protective measures to protect local manufacturing which lead most people to think they had to spend more than 2x the actual vehicle cost. The US and EU has worked on only 50% mark ups, Australians have just been mugs for decades.

      If you have the option of novated lease providers with your employer, shop around. They are all open with fees, but deliberately cagey about the baked in interest rate. Ask that item immediately and negotiate between the providers balancing fees and interest baked in.
      I sadly have only one option with my employer so their was not a lot of negotiation power.

      • Is there a good one to go with?

      • Someone here mentioned the employer is legally obliged to provide two novated lease suppliers.

        • Do you have more info on this? Interested to see that post…

        • +2

          Never seen this (or heard of this so called requirement) and I've just finished a large procurement for leasing/salary sacrifice services for my employer.

          I assure you that the companies that weren't successful would have pointed this out if it were the case.

        • Curious as well.
          I know my employer is absolute against having two (nor will they change) , they rely on one to do it right and with no intervention otherwise. Purely an Admin exercise.

        • Sorry can’t find the reference for this. I may be hallucinating like chat gpt. I am hoping someone with better knowledge can step in and confirm either way

      • +1

        Novated Lease Australia and Fingo are both very good options, if you have the flexibility to choose your NL provider.

        I had to go with SimplyGreen due to employer restrictions - they're still pretty good, but not as good as some of the others in the market.

      • I did not think it was allowed to have only one option as a lease provider (could be wrong but I was told illegal). I know they only have one option as a salary sacrifice provider, and if that salary sacrifice provider also provides leases (a conflict of interest in my mind) then you normally just need to get a a lease to meet their conditions (delayed start etc). I shopeed around and found a significant saving going to CBA (and I am not a CBA customer outside of my lease).

          I'd like to know this too. Novated lease off your own savings (just for the sake of tax benefits of 1st year) then pay the whole thing on second year. I know it sounds too good but 'self lease' could be a way of doing something similar to this?

                this one seems pretty good. Normally I'd say Google it but it's hard to sift through the crap if you don't have some prior knowledge.

                The basic structure is I lease a car from my daughter and pay for it FBT free. My tax rate is over 40% and my daughter has 18k to burn tax free. The gain comes from reducing my effective tax rate and the NET is (tax saving - fees - opportunity cost of capital).

      • Assuming your employer has a novated lease parter that allows it, or they will take on one that allows it.
        Most employers are rigid with no option except whoever they started with.

          My employer only works with one novated lease company.

          I asked “do you do self managed leases”

          They said “no we don’t it’s excluded under our contract with your employer”

          Later I was talking to payroll about some other issue and said the novated lease company was a bad deal. They said they’d dig up the contract

          Turns out - I could do a self managed lease.

          Many more phone calls and paperwork later I now have the car and the lease.

          They don’t make it easy but it’s worth the trouble to ask and be sure that it’s definitely not possible.

      All of them are out there to make money. Get quotes from all possible leasing companies and decide.. Dont fall for extra value add options like paint repair insurance or any addons so that you can compare apples to apples.
