    Refresh Model X & S Waiting Room - AUSTRALIA (Orders cancelled by Tesla May2023)

    Seems that Tesla have just mirrored the US image. Same shading on dash/background. For the external vehicle picture it's the same vehicle, driver and background,

    HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 versus TESLA MODEL 3 | Wheels Australia

    The point is that Hyundai have stripped out a heap of functionality to get the vehicles to market. When that functionality is added back (particularly app functionality) the resale value of the early vehicles will suffer over/above standard depreciation. For me personally the app was the...

    HYUNDAI IONIQ 5 versus TESLA MODEL 3 | Wheels Australia

    Cancelled my Ioniq 5 order. Hyundai Australia clearly not ready for this vehicle. Vehicle being delivered without an app as it hasn’t been finalised yet. No retrospective fitting. Heads up display and interior V2L removed also. Dealers seem completely in the dark too. A very impressive vehicle...

    Model 3 SR+ MY21 delivery wait times in Australia

    FYI delivery timelines have blown out to 8-12 weeks for new orders (updated on Tesla website earlier today). Longest delivery wait since switching to China builds.

    New Showroom coming to Sutherland Shire?

    I predict that the showroom may be open today. Service at a later date. Will drive past later and see.

    Used Model X Prices

    I should add, my pricing referred to low km examples. Mine had around 10k km.

    Used Model X Prices

    Been like it for years I’m afraid. Model S also. A few low mileage 2018 Model X 100D sold for $130-145k last year (mine included). Prices should be lower now, but as noted the lack of new options coupled with strength in the broader used vehicle market is supporting pricing. Not many sell...

    Model S & X orders ‘End of 2022’

    We recently sold our S (in advance of receiving the now later-than-anticipated new Model S). Picked up an iPace to tie us over and very very impressed. Sublime handling and quality interior. Shame it doesn’t come with Tesla infotainment!

    Plaid S in the wild photos

    The original poster has now stated on Twitter that he doesn't believe this is a Plaid vehicle and is potentially a simple external refresh for the Model S (similar to what we saw for Model 3 in September). I am more comfortable with that opinion, albeit a little disappointed that the external...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    H Have been thinking about this given the conflicting reports. Wondering if the new 'metallic' scroll wheels have led to Tesla heating the steering wheel (otherwise they'd be quite cold in winter for the first few minutes if an owner hasn't preheated the cabin)

    Model 3 Australia - Massive Price Cut

    Looks like refreshed Model 3s have just arrived in Hong Kong.

    Model 3 Australia - Massive Price Cut

    There are supposedly multiple ships en route ... so fingers crossed!

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Any idea why the SR+ hasn’t been re-rated?

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Australia/NZ are expecting arrival of refreshed Model 3s in approx 3 weeks ... feels like one of the first, if not the first, region to receive them given MIC Model 3s for Europe only left China today.
