Australian orders open for Tesla Model 3

Geoff Dobson · 0 comments

Tesla Model 3 pricing starts from $66,000 excluding on-road costs and delivery fee, with deliveries due August.

Orders are being taken for the Performance (560km range) and Standard Range Plus (460km range) models.

The price varies according to stamp duty and registration fees in the various states and territories, Tesla adding that the fuel efficient vehicles attract less Luxury Car Tax, leading to a saving of up to $3034.

The Standard Range Plus Model 3 gets to 100km/h in 5.6 seconds while the Performance does the same in 3.4 seconds.

The Model 3 configurator is open to reservation holders and the general public with deliveries prioritised based on reservation date, delivery location and configuration options.

Supercharging for the Model 3 is provided through a CCS Combo 2 charge port, while dual charging cables supporting both CCS Combo 2 and Type 2 charging standards will be installed at Supercharger sites across Australia.

There are 27 Supercharger and over 600 Destination charging locations across Australia with more coming shortly.

The Model 3 is described as Tesla’s “smaller, simpler, more affordable car” and, as with other Teslas, will continue to receive over-the-air software updates which add new features and enhance functionality.

Autopilot is included.

The Model 3 can be viewed at Tesla stores in Sydney (Martin Place) Melbourne (Chadstone) and Brisbane (Fortitude Valley and those registered will be notified when Model 3 test drives become available.)
