With the US economy humming along nicely and the expectation the US Reserve bank to raise rates again and again. It’s not looking too good for Australian reservation holders. The Australian dollar is falling by the day vs the US. At the beginning of the year 1 US$ was worth around $0.8 Aus now it’s $0.7. Then you take into account no government incentives plus high taxes it’s not looking pretty here down under. The basic model S with no options is $140000 already(used to be in the 120k range) So for a model 3 awd performance with no options the price could be in excess of $130000 and that’s not talking into account further Aus$ falls. The sad thing is that the other manufacturers prices are not to much impacted by the rising US and will stay cheap while Tesla gets more and more expensive by the day here in Australia compared to its fossil fuel rivals. Today was the first day I questioned my reservation as the value is diminishing.
