Tesla is by far the most popular EV brand in the world, and the demand is so high that in Australia, Tesla EV order holders have had many months of wait for most of 2022.
Now late in the year, things are starting to change with newly stocked Teslas appearing in inventory listings on its website. Last week it was Tesla stock in Western Australia and now it’s Victoria’s turn.
Multiple brand-new Tesla Model 3 have appeared in Tesla inventory.
Many order holders from back in March and April are just starting to receive delivery windows for their new Tesla Model 3. This means that Tesla has built their EV and it’s on its way.
Yesterday’s inventory showed brand-new RWD and AWD long-range models available to be delivered in Victoria right away.
It also included all colours including the multi-coat red which is rare because of the $2,900 price tag it comes with.
Both black and white interior Telsa Model 3s were also available.
A Tesla Model 3 RWD in a standard paint like blue or grey with upgraded wheels was priced at $70,575 with EVs with standard 18-inch wheels were listed for under $70,000.
This would be on the back of many cancellations. There are more ships that will be arriving in the coming weeks with more surplus Tesla EVs. That would be a good time to buy a new Tesla and not wait over 18 months for some other EVs.
With some Model 3s coming in stock now with immediate delivery, its a good time to keep an eye out for an EV and skip the queue.
This also means that you are buying directly from Tesla with no used car dealer markups that are found on Teslas in the used EV market. This is one way not to get fleeced when buying a used EV.
