Refresh Model X & S Waiting Room - AUSTRALIA (Orders cancelled by Tesla May2023)

[brend0s]

My 2025 lineup prediction

Model 3 RWD
Model 3 LR
Model 3 P
Model 3 S
(replacement for model S - speed/brakes, but no "luxe" features like the S)

Model Y
Model Y LR
Model Y P

If they can build the model 3 but with a 1.99 0-60 they have met 80% of the want from the Model S. No need for bespoke "S" parts.

The percentage of tesla superchargers to other brands is rapidly reducing. The only benefit tesla have is reliability of its superchargers

And it's always been Tesla's 'mission' to open up the supercharger network to all EVs anyway - but Teslas will continue to get preferential pricing at least.

 

[paulp]

Rapidly becoming a two car company......doesn't seem solid future plan, merely an accountants cost savings plan

I suspect there is a utopian dream that everyone will be so enamoured with tesla that just one car will suffice, white of course.

It would be nice if the 7 seater Y is brought here as another option for people who just want an EV with 7 seats (with no X.. or S... options)

Won’t that make the Y a bit obsolete? Maybe thats the plan.

I think a Hatch will increase the model 3 sales significantly without eating in to the model Y share to much. I still have the model S and a new Y, the biggest advantage of the Y is the upright seating position and even better forward and side visibility. (Rear visibility from the Y is poor without the cameras).

I’d be shocked if 80% of model S buyers purchased just for the acceleration. As a recent EV buyer who has purchased 4 model S since they arrived in Australia, city unusable acceleration was very low on my list, as was flakey part self driving and even flakier voice activation. Model 3 is far too small a car for me, and is not even close to the level of interior luxury and refinement I seek. Clearly that is a personal statement and I’m sure many people love their 3, which they should. It’s just not for me.

I prefer to sit very low in a car. The closer to the road the better. Probably why i don’t enjoy driving an SUV

It would be great to have the back of the 3 open up like the S. Access to the boot for bulky stuff would be much better

Well I guess we can now change the title of this thread to just “Model S waiting room”. I just received formal notification from tesla that my Model X order placed a couple of years ago has been cancelled. They are refunding my deposit, and offering me a 3k discount on a 3 or a Y.

 

[jamesgo]

It'll be interesting to see if they add air suspension into the Model 3 and Y

 

[miwa Melb]

Surprised and disappointed - I know Tesla does minimalist interiors and minimalist product lines but didn’t expect Elon to essentially tell the RHD market you can have either the 3 or the Y, take it or leave it. Maybe they have some kind of replacement for the S/X categories but I doubt it.

I think this’ll drive a lot of people away to their competitors (and even spur the 2nd-hand market for old S/X) - surprising Tesla didn’t want to own those markets too.

Appears I was a bit slow, I missed the page of earlier posts stating the S had also been cancelled.

 

[brewster]

Disappointing ...

Boo.... hiss....

I ordered my first Tesla in 2014. Bought 2 more. Ordered the Plaid within minutes of release. I guess I have acted as a bit of a Tesla / Musk fanboy.But, not so much, after this news.
*sugar*.
So I guess I won't frequent these forums as much- I am not looking forward to the Porsche forums, but as soon as the 3-motor Taycan comes out: I'm there.
Elon changes his mind a lot. Let's hope he changes it on this real fast.
Anyone want to buy a Model S Raven Dual Motor? As new.

Colour, km's?

 

[EcoCloudIT]

Some people seem to be getting a $3000 credit towards a Model 3 / Y order in addition to their refund.

Yes, I am for both my S/X pre-orders...why refuses to drive a Y (she drives our current X now) so it's looking highly likely we'll get the EQE SUV for her.

 

[EcoCloudIT]

The EQE’s are very nice. Extremely comfortable and the parking camera’s and nav augmented reality on the screen (or heads up display) is next level clever. The AMG versions have an additional 2 small screens that are dials on the steering wheel that can be programmed to a lot of different functions

But the computer system and screen refresh is soo.o slow

Completely agree, 7s 0-100 is totally fine by me...I want luxury not insane speed.
