AUSTRALIA MODEL Y PRICE INCREASE PLUS NEWS RUMOURS SPECULATION

EV Channels Review

This episode of Ludicrous Feed Live discusses the recent price increase for the Tesla Model Y and Model 3 in Australia, which saw a $3,400 jump for the base Model Y. Despite the absence of EV rebates and the price hike, demand remains exceptionally high, with over 10,000 Model Y orders in the first week. The hosts acknowledge the price increase makes the Model Y less accessible, especially when compared to other EV options like BYD or MG, but emphasize Tesla's ecosystem (Supercharger network, software updates) as a key differentiator. The reviewer found the Model Y's ride comparable to the Model 3, dispelling common criticisms about stiffness and rear-view mirror visibility. The discussion also touches on the Model S's 10th anniversary, Tesla's production upgrades in Shanghai, and the potential impact on Australian deliveries. The segment on financing reveals a surprising 50% of viewers are paying cash for their new Teslas.
