This looks like an inventory clearance price for Model Y MY2024 manufactured around August to September 2024.

It's $2,000 further cheaper than previous $53,300 inventory discount price from initial inventory sale https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/888355.

Stock only available in WA and there is $350 discount if you use a referral link.

Besides, WA ZEV Rebate for $3,500 (apply separately after you get a qualified vehicle) available until 10th of May 2025. It is like refund stamp duty for the EV registration.

Save further if you can get novated lease on it as it does not attract any FBT.

    This car is stupid because your head burns in summer. You need to wear a hat and sun screen while driving this car. The sunroof needs to be properly shielded or at least built in closing mechanism with some insulation.

        Now that's a good thing. In Australia we shouldn't have fixed glass roof like that. It shows that the designer has never been to Australia or have no idea of our conditions or most likely don't care.

        Glass roof is ok but needs to have closing mechanism and insulation so that it doesn't burn ya head when driving.

        It's not just Tesla but some others seem to have this too.

    I think the Europeans get it. Tesla sales down 45% in January and the Nazi salute and President Musk happened later in the month. So February sales are going to be a shocker. To those defending the salute, Elon has done traditional heart signs with his hands before to crowds to show his appreciation. So he could have done this too at the inauguration. But no he chose a textbook Nazi salute.

      I was tossing between BYD and Tesla Y and ended up buying Tesla as it is a well-established brand in Australia compared to BYD. BYD has minimal service centres and their exclusive alliance with MyCar for servicing makes me nervous as I didn't have a good experience with MyCar (formerly known as Kmart Tyres). BYD in Australia is almost $20k more expensive than their Chinese equivalent, and it's the importer in Aus who is setting the Australian prices. This means that they have a lot of room to keep decreasing the prices over time which will continue to devalue the old BYD cars - but value is not something you look at when you buy a new car (unless it's Toyota) as even Tesla prices go down.

      I also didn't like BYD infotainment, although it comes with an amazing wireless Apple CarPlay, but I noticed during the test drive that if you are using CarPlay navigation, the screen doesn't show the cameras when using blinkers (a function that Tesla has). I am sure this is only now during the early days and BYD should be able to fix this later on.

      Keeping the ELON related hate aside, I figured that although expensive, Tesla is still a better car than BYD. This may change down the line as BYD gets more established. I recall people had a lot of reservation about KIA when it first came to Australia but rest is a history.

      PS. Someone will get triggered with what I said but remember - this is how I made my decision, I am not asking anyone else to make decision on these reasoning. :)

        That's a good assessment thanks. I recently purchased an Atto 3 (waiting on delivery) and am fortunate to have a BYD service centre very close. I wasn't after a car as large as a Model Y so the decision was easier.

    You people coining the term nazi should utilize humility to educate yourself on the term.

    Nazism is extremely synonymous with socialism and communism. Any moves away from big government and towards free speech have always been patently anti-Nazi.

    So if you dislike someone, find the correct reasons and ways of expressing it. Don't use one of the most heinous events in modern history to completely incorrectly characterise someone who is exhibiting the complete opposite characteristics - that is to promote free speech and minimize government control and spending on private citizens.

          The Nazi Party’s use of "socialist" in its name (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, or NSDAP) was a calculated deception to exploit working-class appeal and obscure its far-right, authoritarian ideology. Nazism falsely invoked socialism and violently suppressed actual socialists and communists.

      Er no. WW2 was started because Hitler hated Communism. He hated it more than he hated the Jews. While we have the Anglo view of WW2 because of our history, if you look into it the real war was Germany vs the CCCP. Hitler really hated the Communists.

    ive noticed a lot more Teslas on the road in the early 2020s but now, I've also noticed less and less.

    are owners selling them in exchange for other EVs coz they don't want to be seen related (or supporting) a right winged father of 13 religious cult CEO?

    are people no longer buying them? if so, what's your reason?

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 28/02/2025 - 11:39

      During Covid, other car deliveries were taking 6+ months, while Tesla was delivering promptly, leading to a strong uptake of Teslas. At the time, Tesla was almost the only EV option, but now consumers have far more choices, with nearly all major brands offering EVs or PHEVs. Companies like BYD and MG are capturing a significant share of the EV market because they are much cheaper than Tesla. And lastly—Elon Musk certainly isn't helping Tesla’s case.

      People are strange though and there is a lot of sheep herd mentality. I didn’t see this level of outrage in Australia when the Bega Cheese boss was convicted of rape—no one boycotted the brand back then. How many religious people who oppose LGBTQ+ rights use Apple products? My guess is a lot, and they probably don’t think twice about it.

      I’ve never been a big fan of Elon Musk, but if you like a product, why boycott it just because of one individual? There was massive backlash over Gillette’s ad, which supposedly triggered a lot of men—I never understood what was so controversial about it. I still haven’t found a razor better than Gillette, so I continue to use it, and I bet many of the people who were outraged back then still do too.

      With forums and social media, people say a lot of things online and spread hate in ways they wouldn’t if their identities weren’t hidden.

        Because people will die because of Musk's rhetoric and it is good to care about other people, it is good to try and make a positive impact in whatever small way you can. or at least try.

        What you're expressing here sounds like some kind of nihilistic libertarianism, and if that's the world view you most closely relate to, I'm sorry.

                  If you wish to not be engaged on your perspectives, have them questioned or analysed, it may be wise to avoid comment sections in the future.

                  Oh, it’s not that I don’t want to answer you—I’m happy to. But since you’re asking about other products, continuing this discussion here would take us off-topic from the deal, and I doubt the mods would appreciate that.

                  That said, I’ll answer your question for completeness, but if you’d like to dive deeper into this, let’s continue the conversation elsewhere rather than spamming the deal’s comment section which BTW is already very spammed with many messages (including my own - "objectively" speaking).

                  find your use of the word "certain" here interesting; what circumstances would cause you to lean away from a prioritisation of practicality and how do you decide where that line is drawn?

                  Eggs, for example—I used to buy caged eggs because they were the cheapest option, which seemed practical enough for me. But after learning about the differences between caged and free-range egg production, I decided to spend more on free-range eggs for ethical reasons. Another example is garlic. I used to buy the cheapest option, which was imported from China, but after learning that it’s often bleached and packed by prison labor, I chose to stop buying it.

      @Yosan man you are a tough cookie to be pleased.

      You don't like Teslas because you said they support Nazis, You don't like Chinese EVs because they are copies, You don't like BYDs or the people who support them, You don't like Temu because they are CCP rubbish, You don't like AliExpress because its as trash as Temu, Even made in England doesn't please you, You don't like Dove because it supports Russia.

      Man you gotta find some positives in your life and spread them online - The body is like a pot with the lid on, lift the lid to see if it is filled with the Water of Life or the poison of death.

              My man, you missed the entire point of my post. I don’t love or hate products because of an individual—except maybe the iPhone, which I fell in love with as a teenager after watching Steve Jobs’ presentations. Back then, people absolutely hated Apple and called me crazy for buying a Mac, saying everything was "reversed" compared to Windows. The same thing happened with AirPods—people mocked them, saying they made you look like a dork with wires missing. We all know where Mac and AirPods stand in the market today.

              I make objective decisions about my purchases based on what improves my quality of life. Sure, my preferences may change as I get older, but as of today, this is how I choose what to buy.

                @IMadeYouReadThis: "I make objective decisions about my purchases based on what improves my quality of life."

                Is it okay if people make their decisions based on more than their own personal self interest? Or do they need to hold the same "objective" lens as yourself?

                Choose to buy however you want, but you wrote the comment and engaged someone else's subjective position with your own subjective position. You have reasons to believe what you do, but it's folly to think them objective.

                • IMadeYouReadThis on 28/02/2025 - 13:43

                  @beardelune: Of course, people can make decisions based on whatever matters to them whether it’s personal benefit, ethics, brand loyalty, or something else. My point was simply that I try to focus on how a product improves my quality of life rather than being influenced by external narratives or specific individuals.

                  I see what you’re saying about subjectivity, though. No decision is entirely "objective" since personal experiences and preferences always come into play. I meant that I prioritise practical value over emotional or ideological factors.

                  At the end of the day, everyone has their own way of making decisions, and that’s completely valid. What triggered me about the other poster was the constant negativity—I’ve mostly seen negative comments from that handle. Surely, there are some positive things to share online instead of just bashing brands based on their associations with Nazis, the CCP, or Russia.

                    That's great, but this perspective isn't inherently better or more objective than anyone else's.

                    "what triggered me about the other poster was the constant negativity"
                    We live in a world with a lot of pain and misery, some people are deeply affected by this and they try to help make the world a better place in whatever small ways they can. What reads as negativity to you reads as a fight for justice to me; whichever it is objectively, I'm sure it's not all they do, and I'm sure you'd agree.

                      Historically we live in the most peaceful and prosperous time in human history. So peaceful and prosperous that most people have to go out of their way to find things to be upset about. If you turned off the Internet for a month, how much would Elon Musk affect your life? This should help show how insane this manufactured rage is. The demand for bad guys is outweighing the supply, so the media has to invent them to keep people hooked to the news cycle.

                          Caring for people would be giving up your time for free so help save your country from bankruptcy. That sounds pretty caring to me. Who do we know who did that?

                          You choose to feel better by doing things that make you feel better, Donald Trump does it his way, and Elon Musk does it his way. Joe Biden does it his way, Anthony Albanese does it his way. I do it my way. All of us are doing what we think is right and self-interest drives us all. That is my point.
