The base range of around 350 KM seems unsuitably lean for Australian conditions. For a car that may cost $55,000 on the road it also seems very poor value for money.
My response to the “poor value for money” comment is that the car is fully electric - therefore it is great value for money, because BEVs are so much more pleasant, enjoyable and better to drive compared to ICEs in just about every respect. And not just more enjoyable by a little bit but by a huge, huge margin. It’s like comparing LED lights with kerosene lamps. One is 21st century, the other is 19th century.
It’s like saying a $70k Audi is poor value for money compared to a $50k BMW. The Audi driver would say their car is so much nicer to drive, better looking, with more performance or whatever, and that’s what you’re paying for. Same with Tesla. You are paying for a car that has much, much better performance than an ICE, looks amazing, and gives you incredible pleasure behind the wheel unlike any ICE car will ever give you.
Having dealt with that, if you regularly do day trips that are about the same distance as or longer than the fully charged range of a BEV then maybe a BEV is not right for you yet. I have a Nissan LEAF and never attempt day drives longer than its fully charged range - which is not much (about 110 km) because having to charge during the trip makes it unviable. For all other trips I use my ICE.
However I have a Model 3 reservation and will go fully electric when I get it next year, dumping my ICE. By then I expect the Tesla Supercharger network to be even better, the NRMA fast charger network to be well progressed, and third party charging options to have expanded. In short, I’m not worried.
In the unlikely event that I need to take a trip that is not feasible in my Model 3, I will hire a car for that trip. I don’t expect that to happen more than once every 3-4 years. In fact in the past 5 years, I cannot recall a single trip I have taken in my ICE that would have been unviable in a LR Model 3 given current charging infrastructure, so that percentage will only reduce over time.
