I got Tesla 3 long range and it cost $77,815 on the road. It is a little bit cheaper now.
Surprisingly Tesla gave me the best trade-in on my Lexus by nearly $5000 over others.
When I was looking Kia and Polestar were similiar prices, Lexus was another $10,000 as was Volvo, and BMW and Porsche, were about $130,000 and $170,000 respectively.
I reckon after this year, Tesla will have an upgrade battery with longer range, as that is what the messages coming from them is. There will also be other EV models to look at, and the EV charging stations will be more and more widespread. I reckon in the future, every Maccas will have them, and so will other fast food places, as will Supermarket car parks. Unless petrol stations get on board, they will fade away.
I even hear that some Local Councils are thinking of putting them in their carparks as a revenue earner.
Did any others have the range of the tesla though?
And have you used the range day to day? Eh found yourself down to under say 20% before plugging it jn?
Every tesla owner ive spoken too loves their car so its obviously a good vehicle.
Maybe the downside if the experience is repeated here(mind you they have sold a lot of cars there) is that the residual on teslas in the US has been unexpectedly poor. (Used values dropping faster than ICE cars)
There are grants available in Vic where the installation is subsided and the Council’s that I know of that have installed them don’t do it to earn revenue but to provide a service to the community and to try and encourage tourists.
Way out of my price range. I was asking if anyone had looked closely at one, as l saw one a couple of months ago, and it looked an interesting proposition.
will suit young people getting EV for cars.
And possibly second cars for families.
Maybe govt could reduce regos to almost nil on small EV’s encourage smaller cars on the road.
