Refresh Model X & S Waiting Room - AUSTRALIA (Orders cancelled by Tesla May2023)
- Thread starter jatinrai
- Start date
Model S AWD US$89,990 which is Au$127,375
Model S and X Plaid US$104,990 which is Au$157,310
Model X AWD US$94,990 which is Au$142,362
Add additional $10,000 for shipping then LCT, stamp duty and on roads.
Some time back Elon stated that Tesla policy was to have the same price worldwide subject to shipping and local taxes.
The eventual Australian prices will include shipping costs but won’t be expressed separately. My figure is just a wet finger in the air and is designed to be generous, if anyone has a more accurate shipping cost estimate, happy to hear.
I doubt tesla transport cars globally without the user paying, presumably within the purchace price
This is the price I have before they were removed. The S Plaid was US$125K at this point. As of today it’s US$105K. Also there has been 1 increase the LCT since then with another on the way 30 June. Exchange rate US/AUD was around the low 70 cents.

You forgot GST. And shipping is in the $3k ballpark, especially when you're shipping hundreds of them.
I think the list price of the Plaid will probably be around $210k on the road, before options
There's going to be several more cuts in the pricing of the MS before it even gets to our shores (US economy circling the drain, improved manufacturing margins since the MS first getting here) and the slow increase in the diabolical LCT threshold ($10k in last 5yrs).
It'll definitely be sub $200k, remembering the Performance got down to ~$167k AUD on road and we're only $10k away from that base price with the Plaid now in the US. (all time low of ~$92k USD)

Yep you're totally correct and it's painful how worthless the Aussie Paso is, lets just hope it rides above the future turmoil and gains value when this incredible car is released to us. (#disclaimer .....completely bias view point)

"Despite a second set of price cuts for the Model S and X in early March, Tesla delivered just 10,695 of those vehicles in the quarter, the lowest since the third quarter of 2021"
With current pricing (US) the MS is almost double the price of it's comparable M3. I really think there needs to be a 'laddered' pricing schedule to this line up, so it's only just another rung away rather than an entire another car away. Even prior to the price cuts, resale was atrocious on the refreshed models.
With the announcement of further 3/Y cuts, there really could be a significant price restructure like 2018 (I think)

They sell every S and X they can make, that's why they haven't even bothered with RHD markets yet. The capacity is 20k, but they sell capacity every quarter, except this quarter is different, because they've started exports to Europe and China, so 10k of that 20k is on the water waiting to be delivered overseas. Read into the facts, not the FUD.
If this is the case, why do they keep dropping the price then? Why are there dozens of new X & S’s available in US inventory. The resale value of this car in the US is absolutely horrific. Buyers have lost over US$50K on their cars in under 2 years.
Tesla Inc. increased the prices of Model S and Model X vehicles in the US, after the company’s share price slumped following first quarter earnings.
Prices for Model S sedans and Model X sports utility vehicles rose by $2,500, or about 2% to 3%
Though they come with 3 years of unlimited free supercharging if delivered before 30th June. Weirdly the yoke steering is additional.

free supercharging and referral credits have always stimulated demand for tesla. Seems its more effective than dropping prices too far. The financial analysis seem to have a consensus that tesla are making more cars than they are selling, so presume the June30 deadline is to offload those 20,000 surplus cars
Ouch, that's not very promising.
Tesla Model S and Model X electric cars pulled from sale in Australia
Tesla has removed the ability to place an order for the Model S and Model X in Australia. Are Tesla’s flagship electric vehicles not coming here after all – or is it a false alarm?
