The base price of MY was 55500, but at the end of 2024, there was $3000 novated leasing bonus and also 4 times more referral bonus. so basically no deal.
grab it while you can, the new ones doesn't come with turning stalks!
You mean gear shifter stalk. Indicator stalk should still be there.
It’s been confirmed on various articles that it comes with indicator stalk. Not a shifter though, that’s on screen.
Indicator stalks are there:

Not for the American market apparently
Few more drops and make it <$50k and then I will hunt for used once.
I wish I have a Drake's meme…
was in the market for ev earlier this FY and Tesla weren't even considered
- suspension
- basic controls
- interior is better even in cheaper alternatives
seriously it needs to compete in lower price range. how low can you go
we actually prefer the "basic controls" but everyone to their own.
well, one of my friends is a Tesla fan, he has a Y. he loves giving me a test drive to try and convert me every time a software update adds new features
yes I get it one can talk to a car to control the climate, and the minimalistic controls could have some appeal and target audience
but I wince every time he takes eyes off the road to dig for some cool feature somewhere in the menus
and in general I notice teslas are very wobbly on the road quite likely for that reason
yeah my car's drivers seat looks like an airplane cockpit, but I like it this way. not looking forward to getting a new car as interiors have been simplified in my fav cars, too. dammit
you don't need to talk or use the screen to do climate control, you can map it to the left stick.
if your friend is digging through menus while driving he's an idiot.
@gavincato: seriously though. Tesla drivers are having a hard time keeping in their lane, and driving at the speed limit. probably because they have to take their eyes off the road to see the information that normal cars (you know, like built for people who want to stay alive while driving) display right behind the steering wheel where it should be. speed, remaining range, map directions, speed limit, etc. yeah new Teslas have a HUD. but I am yet to see one. all the ones I've been in, have no HUD. super safe IMO
@shabaka: You are talking about the driving habits of 90% of the drivers out on the road these days.
Amazing price coming from an owner. Have a rental polestar 2 at the moment and the Y is miles better in every way
Hated Polestar 2, have rented 2x Model 3's overseas last year which I enjoyed.
Going to Perth Monday, fingers crossed rental should be a Y which I'm looking forward to as that is what suits us best I think.
Shame as we are a touch over 25yo so insurance is 2.5-4k so kind of kills any fuel saving gains currently.
With the novated lease discount of $3k until the end of last month (December 2024), this has been $53k+ORC for quite sometime.
Maxxia states Driveaway Price: $60,867.99
Great car, even better price!
69k drive away for the Model Y base model launch series..
Xpeng G6 base model is $58k drive away
Tesla might be pricing themselves out of the market..why would you risk it with exotic car bros that run TrueEV ?
..and $16k difference for the long range.. ouch, sorry cave diving expert, no deal
Random question
Can you buy this from ACT and drive back to nsw?
It’s $5K cheaper than one from NSW so just curiousWhere do you see this?
I only see the same prices for ACT and NSW.
yes then change rego over. not sure cheaper?
People will lose their minds over the light bars. No one will want this.
Not giving my money to Elon
He's all worried now.
your knees must get sore
Quite happy with our model y ownership experience. 50k KMs/ 18 months. The 10k of price drops since we started is terrible but we never purchased to resell in short term. It made our foray into ev / home charging infrastructure quite pleasant. The car suits our use case. I don't think the new one is different enough to justify a changeover, in the short or medium term. But if we were starting off now, this would be an excellent deal for us
It made our foray into ev / home charging infrastructure quite pleasant.
How so?
Glad they didn't post new released version as deal
Some Musk boot lickers thought $65,700 was fantastic value
About 21k drop in 2.5 years. Looking forwards to around 4k? if I don't mind waiting.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/tesla-model-yI do see discount in NSW as well.
Any reason we have put specific states?
Guys, if you want to buy one of these things, I suggest you rent one for a couple of days. I drove one adl->mel->adl. First 5 minutes, I thought it was good. For the rest of the trip, I just got more and more annoyed. For example, in Australia our white lines on the side of the road in the country, have a break in them when joining a side road. The Y got confused and slammed on the brakes: every time, unless I turned off all driver "aids".
These things are noisy AF, particularly in the back. I go uber green in a range of electric cars (for work) and while I'm there, I do a back seat at 100km dB test. Tesla is near the worst (MG near the top). How they got the label as a luxury car just confuses the hell out of me. Autopilot is a joke in AU. Volvo's system is better. Mercedes USA already have a level 3 automation car approved for use (Tesla still level 2).
If you're a greenie (I am), then this isn't the best choice either. A plugin hybrid is. Carrying around a huge heavy battery to get you 500km range is pointless, except for the twice a year you do a long trip. The rest of the time, your car is a $#$%$ing heavy shopping cart pointlessly lugging around a dead weight.
Plugin hybrids allow you to be green 99%, and on the annual trip you need range, use petrol.
If I squint and turn my head upside down, I reckon the Tesla looks like a severely diseased penis. Somewhat appropriate recentlyWhat plug in Hybrid do you recommend that is good value etc.

As someone who currently owns 2 EVs (a Tesla and a Kia), I find your experience interesting.
The Tesla auto-steer does get certain road signs confused - though out in the country and well marked freeways it does it well >99% of the time these days. I use it extensively when I go on road trip to rural areas and find it super helpful, and those annoying "confused car" phenomenon happens extremely rarely and is far outweighed by the time it handles the road perfectly.
As for your opinion on PHEV vs BEV, it heavily depends on one uses their car. There are some arguments that the way a lot of people use their PHEV their long term carbon footprint is worse than claimed as people aren't charging their cars as much as theory.
Source: https://climate.ec.europa.eu/news-your-voice/news/first-comm…
But if people do ensure they use their PHEV on electric (even better, renewable energy e.g. charging from solar mostly) most of the time, I am not as militant against PHEV as some BEV. I find PHEV a reasonable middle ground in Australia where charging infrastructure may never be good enough for most people to switch to full EV.
If your complaint is that the battery is oversized, buy a cheaper car with a smaller battery. I can't imagine how you think a car that contains an ICE is in any way green
I go uber green in a range of electric cars (for work) and while I'm there
I know you've mentioned Volvo already, but have you had experience with Polestars ?
I've driven 7 or 8 EVs recently, and I just enjoyed driving the Polestar 2 and 4, as the interior is still 'traditional' and not just one big tablet/screen.
(The Polestar 4 doesn't have a rear-view mirror per se, and relies on a camera to project the rear and this is the thing that I really did not like,
because there's no back window either, and checking for blind-spots through a 'corner' is non-existent too).I can admire EV engineering, but I still feel that Australian landscape, distance, roads, etc… means ICE is better out of cities, but EVs are better inside cities (with at-home charging).
Under 50 in coming months
Yeah if what happened last time (the model 3 update) occurs again. They'll be husling to sell the older model. Prices have not bottomed yet I think. Should be an interesting couple of months.
$53k for 4 year warranty = no bargain
Well … just to be different:
I would never buy a Tesla Y … because it is an SUV, that's why :-]
People are still willing to buy anything from this guy despite him being a Trump supporter?
Does anyone know whether this car has NCA or LFP battery type? Also curious on model 3 on the same question. Thanks
All base models all have LFP, the rest have NMC
Thanks mate. Is that true for both out going models (3 & Y) as well as new 2025 facelift models? If so that's really good (for base model I meant). I'm curious though, why would Tesla software blocks 100% charge and discharge for LFP then may I know? It should be safe to do so right?
Yep for old and new.
The software doesn't block you from charging to 100% on LFP.
It encourages 100% charge at least once a week to keep the range estimations accurate as LFP doesn't have a nice linear voltage drop like NMC. See here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1zKfIQUQ-s
The only time the app sets the charge limit to 80% is if you are at busy super charger, to encourage you to charge quickly and move on, but you can always override it.
Any 2017 HSV
Far from a deal. In December they had $3k leasing discounts (why would you not buy on a lease) as well as increased $1.5k referral discount, for a total of $4.5k discount. So more expensive than last year,
for what is now a 2024 (1 year old) and superceded model.Hard no, the only people that will buy these will be those that can’t wait and don’t want to pay a premium for all the extra features of the launch edition. These will get discounted hard in a few months time
Only WA available
I am honestly trying to understand what is the cost for changing the batteries, when it is due. Anyone know? Shouldn't we consider that cost against the savings we get from petrol? over the years?
They use around 15kw of charge per 100kms
So if you charge at home on a flat 25c per kwh tariff. 15 x .25 = $3.75 per 100kms.
So for example 20,000kms costs $750 for chraging as per the the above.
If you were using a car that burnt 10l of fuel per 100kms it would cost $4000 in fuel at $2 a litre to do same.
Not a huge saving (its not going to pay for your new car) but $3250 in the pocket is not bad money especially over a number of years.
and your not funding overseas oil barons.obviously if you charge using your excess home solar its next to free.
If you use charging stations between 45c and 70c seems to be the going rate, so cost benefit decreases.Ill let you do the math hereon.
All correct but the guy was asking about changing/replacing the battery.
@spicydicy
The answer is, simply, no, there is no such a thing DUE for changing a battery just like you wouldn't consider replacing the engine when buying an ICE.For real-life data: https://www.nimblefins.co.uk/study-real-life-tesla-battery-d….
160,000 kms: A typical Tesla battery can still provide over 90% of its original range.
200,000 kms: Cars can still retain 81–87%.
320,000 kms: A Tesla battery may still provide over 80% of its original range.Tesla provides 8 years 160,000 kms warranty for the battery if it goes less than 70%.
In Australia we drive 15k-20k a year.
On Facebook Tesla High Mileage Club many Teslas have driven over 1 million kms over 10 years with 75%+ remaining.
I'll let you do the math. Especially considering the info @sillyhead provided.
If you gonna drive it for 10 years, you will happily pocket $32,500 vs dumping it into the gas. Not to mention if you have solar or electricity plan that gives you free charging on weekends or as low as 8 cents/kwh.
In short, you should not consider replacing the battery at all.

What if there's a deal on eneloops?
not a fan of full electric vehicles. Holding out for the new hybrid gas powered versions that are planned for production in Germany soon! /s
