Tesla Model Y in Australia

[EcoCloudIT]

Finance loan has already settled (this morning) - that's how close I am

And did you make sure no early payout hit?

And further confirmation

Tesla Model Y pricing leaked for Australia, but no Long Range option as yet

Tesla Model Y pricing leaked ahead of possible order launch, suggesting only a standard range RWD and Performance variant will be available initially.

Chuq..
Your 3 is $4k + $4k ++, probably $9-10k cheaper, and on cheaper financing.

does it meant no subsidy for Vic or SA owners.

I believe so. I think the article from TheDriven mentions that.

Wah! I was about to jump for an LR, but looks like I'll have to wait. :-(

Just go the P

 

[RobDickinson]

Its what I did with the model 3, I can recommend it

 

[aegidius]

Just go the P

I'll run that by the missus. Justification appears sound.

Well there IS no LR. You did your best and tried to wait for it?? I can’t see it any other way. And who doesn’t NEEEEEED 300+ kw for the daily commute? It’s like entry level these days

Something about begging for forgiveness...

from the driven article

That means a Model Y, without added options, will be under the $3,000 EV rebate threshold available in NSW, Victoria and South Australia.

I'm also waiting for a LR. Only reason why I don't want the P is that it's lowered and has the bigger wheels which reduce range. Otherwise if they release a P- like they did with the 3 when it first came which had the standard SR+ wheels, then I would consider that. Was the 3P- lowered?

I know everyone has their own preferences but for me AWD and a LFP battery would be ideal. The AWD for safety and the LFP battery for battery management/longevity. Extra range is always good but not a dealbreaker. Hopefully the MIC Y LR will eventually get 4680 batteries and all will be good - the perfect (for me) trifecta.

Order first, and apologise later

Better to ask forgiveness than permission

The current demand from LFP is the limit AFAIK

Agreed - my understanding was the 4680 capacity may well ramp up over the next couple of years as manufacturing processes improve. It'll take that long to save anyway after getting the M3 (hopefully soon) if Shanghai is able to build them. The performance (hence peak current flow) for the AWD (in my view) doesn't need to be so close to the Performance variant as it takes away from its niche market position.

No the stealth has the stock lr suspension.

BTW the rwd Y looks like it uses NCA cells for now

 

[Nathanwhalan]

Same here. Did not go over well. I mentioned that the RWD would be available and she immediately said to get whatever the cheapest was.

Lets hope RWD is the same as Hong Kong with the upgraded interior and lighting.
