TESLA MODEL Y AUSTRALIA ORDER PAGE NOW OPEN

EV Channels Review

The launch of the Tesla Model Y order page in Australia is met with significant excitement, as detailed in this live stream. The hosts and guests, including Tesla Tom, Rahul Prasad, and Riz Akhtar, discuss their personal orders, with Riz opting for a black Model Y Performance and Rahul choosing a rear-wheel drive variant with white interior and 19-inch wheels. Key discussion points include the surprisingly reasonable pricing, with the RWD Model Y only $5,000 more than the Model 3, and the inclusion of premium audio as standard. Delivery estimates for early RWD orders are August-November 2022, with later orders pushed to November 2022-February 2023. The conversation also touches on production efficiency, the potential for a 7-seat option (though deemed suitable only for children), and the strong resale value of performance models. The superior Tesla Supercharger network is highlighted as a major advantage for Australian buyers, especially for road trips, and the ease of Tesla's service process is also praised. While some express concerns about opening Superchargers to non-Tesla EVs, the consensus leans towards increased EV adoption benefiting the market overall.
