TESLA MODEL 3 PRICE INCREASE AUSTRALIA Q1 2022

EV Channels Review

This live stream discussion focuses on the recent Tesla Model 3 price increases in Australia during Q1 2022. The host highlights a significant $4,000 jump across various trims (Rear-Wheel Drive, Long Range, and Performance) within a short period, noting that the Long Range saw the smallest increase. The video also touches upon extended delivery times, now ranging from six to nine months. A key takeaway is the prevailing sentiment among viewers and the host that prices are likely to continue rising or remain stable throughout 2022, with very few predicting a drop. This outlook is attributed to general inflation, rising raw material costs, and strong demand. The discussion also briefly covers the Melbourne incident involving a Tesla and autopilot, emphasizing driver responsibility, and provides an overview of current EV incentives across Australian states, noting how some Tesla variants no longer qualify for certain rebates due to price thresholds.
