Spotted in Australia and New Zealand

Been playing a mental game when I drive. I count all the Tesla’s I have spotted on the road since last October. I have now spotted 89. Many I have seen are around Richmond in the Melbourne area where I live and where the showroom is. Curiously the most I have seen are on Mont Albert Rd Canterbury where I seem to spot them every other time I drive on that road. The most I have seen in one day is 3 on a few times. Once I saw 3 in the space of about 5 minutes. I went to Bendigo over Easter and saw two on the Calder Freeway.
I own a LEAF and I hardly ever see others. I see the occasional City of Sydney ones, but privately owned - very rare.I am now think of revising that to a Leaf as there’s way more Tesla’s than the 650 Leafs that were sold
In NSW, there are currently 1819 BEVs registered, and 1092 of those are Teslas. So you are more likely to see a Tesla than any other BEV combined. When Model 3 arrives next year, it will be BEV market share massacre.
Ok not an unusual sight to see 2 Model S at the St Leonards service centre, and one is mine, but 2 of 4 Anza Brown Model S in the country?

I think this is the first Tesla Model S that I have seen for sale in New Zealand for under NZ$100k

Everyone needs to keep an eye out, notification emails have just gone out saying a Model 3 will be on display at Tesla Martin Place next Wednesday (22nd August) from 8am.

Looks like the Kiwi's will view the Model 3 this Wednesday 15th August 2018.
Trust me it looks much better in the wild/person than in the photos.

Agreed. Got to sit in one a few months back when in the US. Was struck just how close it felt to my Model S, just slightly smaller with a sparse dash and less storage space. In my 5 minutes with it it felt like 85% of my car at half the price. Is quicker too apparently. Love my S and wouldn't change now, but when weighing up the $ would have to think really hard what I would have bought if I was buying today.

I thought the S was boring in the pics but in the metal I really loved it. Guessing it will be the same with the 3, that's why I'm eager to see it, stop me buying a ICE.

Great to see Australian Tesla owners finally getting to see the Tesla 3 in person.
I was in Martin Place last April and Tesla associates had no idea of timeline for TM3 arrival
Looks like the first Tesla 3's will your your shores in Q2 2019!
Tesla is bringing Model 3 to Australia and New Zealand ahead of international launch
I've read that the Federal govt (Turnbull et al) is anti-EV and very pro-coal!
But, I thought that Queensland, Victoria & South Australia are all very PRO-EV
How's that working out?
Any State or Federal EV rebate/incentive forthcoming?

@Miggy: is that yours? That's an amazing car in a fantastic color. Any idea what its VIN might be?
@gingerbeer , @Higgy, @mspcooper, @LGGD's Friend : we know of only four 2014 Signature Red P85+ AP1 cars in existence. All of them were in Australia, since Tesla first started deliveries there in the last quarter of 2014. The ad says the seller is the second owner and it's an import (presumably from AUS since it's RHD), so I wonder if it's one of yours?
