                            @JimmyF: Evolve. And i mean yeah, that's just how it is with the used car market for ICE cars and part of why i went with it. The resale value is much better. You're coping hard if you think the 2nd hand car market is gonna drastically change like that for EVs. The rate of depreciation is only ever going to get worse as technology improves in this space. Like I said, hugely depreciating lump of metal but i suppose you can enjoy it while you have it. But like i said, i much prefer the driving experience of an ICE anyway even if the acceleration isn't as much.

                            Face the facts, you as first generation EV buyers are the guinea pigs of the industry. Like i said, i'll adopt when the technology is more mature and the prices have stabilised.

                            Also you're dreaming if you think it's $20k cost of ownership in 5 years for these things. $80 for 500 kms of petrol, I have free maintenance for first 3 years and it only ever ends up being $300 per year anyway.

                              No one is paying $34k for your car today when you can buy it brand new for $36k.

                              I'm not the one having dreams of selling a 5 year old Mazda 3 for the same price they purchased it at.

                              But like i said, i much prefer the driving experience of an ICE anyway even if the acceleration isn't as much.

                              More like too poor, but ok. Here is a fun fact, no one is making you buy an EV. So continue to enjoy your ICE.

                              Face the facts, you as first generation EV buyers are the guinea pigs of the industry. Like i said, i'll adopt when the technology is more mature and the prices have stabilised.

                              first generation EV? Yeah been making EVs for over a decade, So far from first generation!

                                      I've owned many new cars, not a single one of them has held value, they are all near worthless at 15 years of age, regardless of the starting price.

                                      So it doesn't really matter what the short term prices do, the long term price is always the same.

      I wouldn't get sucked in by the cheap price for BYD don't even think your getting the same thing as tesla you can't compare the 2. BYD is literally a car that look and feels like a ICE car inside just with out the ICE in it, and with out the 8 camera Dashcam and sentry mode when parked as well as the self driving abilities and hardware. BYD is a different type of car despite it being an EV compared to a tesla. It all comes down to what you want to pay for. End of the day you get what you paid for. That being said the tesla model Y will defiantly drop like it did with the model 3 last year, because the new one is coming out soon.

    • VCertainty on 14/06/2024 - 16:58

      Yeah I hired one of these and whilst driving I had no major concerns the interior is really unappealing if you want something more muted or just like a cleaner look. Comparatively I drive a MY23 Sportage and much prefer their layout/design.

      The Seal looks much nicer and would most likely go for that model over the Atto.

        What about Tesla? Their cars sell for almost the same price in the U.S as it is in Australia. Nowhere near a $15,000 increase.

        If Tesla cars in Australia were $15,000 more expensive than in the U.S., people would choose BYD for sure.

        BYD faces a challenge due to their prices being increased but not Tesla, making the Tesla deal more attractive to buyers.

        • Save 50 Cent on 13/06/2024 - 22:11

          Shouldn’t you be comparing the price of Teslas in China since that is where they’re made now? Is it similar there to here and USA? I have no idea but I’d say it is way cheaper if I had to guess.
          Shipping costs and import fees are a lot.

          • DmytroP on 14/06/2024 - 11:29

            @Save 50 Cent: Looks like the Tesla price in China is quite close to what we get here, from the recent news (end of April):

            Tesla cut the starting price of the revamped Model 3 in China by 14,000 yuan ($1,930) to 231,900 yuan ($32,000), its official website showed on Sunday.

            It's about 48k AUD, compared to 55k AUD here.
            Model Y is about 54 AUD in China, 56k AUD here.

            The price is a few months old, so may be lower now, but still comparable.

            Atto 3 is below 30k AUD in China (price from the same time as Tesla), 44k AUD here after the price drop. Much larger difference.

            • klaw81 on 14/06/2024 - 11:33

              @DmytroP: Bear in mind that BYD do limited runs of manufacturing specifically for the AU and NZ versions of the Atto 3. They're not identical to the Chinese model

      I checked Tesla Model Y prices in the U.S. and Australia, and they are quite similar. It looks like Tesla doesn't need to worry about price increases in Australia like BYD does.

      If you buy a Tesla, the Australian dealership doesn't make much profit (because the U.S sells it at a similar price to the Australian dealership)
      But if you buy a BYD, the Australian dealership will make a huge profit (because they are probably buying these models for 15 grand less)

      • ChaseTheSun on 13/06/2024 - 21:35
        +3

        Your conclusion is too simplistic.
        Remember that Tesla US and Tesla AU have different manufacturing costs. The ones we get in Australia are from China where the cost base is much cheaper than the US made ones.

      BYD are more expensive in Australia due to many reasons:

      • Having an Australian distributor and car dealers, EV Direct and Eagers. You gotta pay all these 3rd parties.
      • Startup costs for a new car manufacturer who has decided to use dealerships - unlike Tesla.
      • BYD known for using overseas market to make a profit.
      • Transportation costs

        Pls. Exclude transportation cost. Every new car in Oz is imported.

          they're not imported in China though.

        China's tempting to start commercial drones while we are struggle with the cost of licensing and gov support, etc.

        BYD known for using overseas market to make a profit.

        IMHO It's the reason for us against getting BYD, this statement means you are milked and getting a worse deal here.

      This can be easily explained. China is not our friend.

        Or it's the Australian government screwing us up.

          No. Stop the conspiracy nonsense.

            @greatlamp: That is the consequence of Chinese espionage. You cannot say anything bad about China. It is always anyone else's fault but China. lol.

              @nned2say: No I think this is just regular "can't trust the Gubmit!" low IQ take from someone who doesn't have the faintest idea about how government works. No company is going to sell cars at a lower price than they need to.

          The Australian government is open and easy to understand - you may not like things they do but at least you can say that. It is not hidden behind lies like the CCP. If you said that in China against the CCP, you could disappear. Do not make shit up to think we have it bad here. I do not think most people understand the difference between what freedom is compared to living under an autocratic regime.

      It’s standard practice to mark up cars by 100% in Australia, most other countries are only 50%. They charge what people will pay not what the cars cost.

        Haha there is a very limited amount of new cars with a 100% mark up… The profit margin on most mainstream cars is like sub 5%.

        • taoz on 13/06/2024 - 23:22

          what makes you think that its 5%

        • Drakesy on 14/06/2024 - 08:48

          You have seen what these go for in china right?
          @Gusper is on the money.

          You guys are talking about different things. Profit margin is different to "Mark Up".

      Australia isn't "doing the same thing", BYD is just taking a bigger margin, because they can, no tariffs in the way and their biggest competitor Tesla is awkwardly trying to balance profitability, cost cutting and not pissing off existing owners too much by dropping the price of new models by 15k and wiping out their resale.

      EVs were always going to have these sort of teething issues and while it sucks when you see your car instantly devalue by 5k overnight, it is ultimately for the good in the long run.

      • BargainMe on 13/06/2024 - 21:57

        It'll be EVDirect and Eagers who are taking their massive cut

        Re devaluation being good in the long run.

        All the more for waiting for the infrastructure and the price to drop further
