Tesla Model 3 2024 pricing and specifications
Let’s talk about the 2024 Tesla Model 3 – it’s had its biggest makeover in six years! It’s got a new appearance and a fancier inside. Plus, it’s got bigger batteries that let you go even farther on a single charge. You can get one starting at $61,900, not including the costs for the road
The 2024 Tesla Model 3 is going to cost you more money in Australia, with price increases ranging from $1500 to $4500. This updated version is going to hit the Australian market later this year or maybe early next year.
They just revealed it, and this new Model 3 looks different, has a fancier inside, and some cool new features. Plus, it can travel longer distance on a single charge for all the versions.
Even though some folks thought the price might go down because it’s supposed to be easier to make, it’s actually more expensive now. In Australia, you can only pick between two models, the Rear-Wheel Drive and the Long Range all-wheel-drive. There’s no sign of the Performance model, and we’re not sure if it’s gone forever or if it might come back later.
If you order a Tesla Model 3 in Australia today, the earliest you’ll get it is between January and March 2024, unless there are any delays. Some folks who were waiting for the older version might actually get the new one before this year ends.
Now, let’s talk prices. The base Rear-Wheel Drive starts at $61,900, which is $4500 more than before. But remember, they had lowered the price by $3900 in July 2023. Even though it’s gone up, it’s still $3600 cheaper than it was at the beginning of the year.
As for the Long Range All-Wheel Drive, it now starts at $71,900, up by $1500. But compared to the price at the start of the year, it’s still $8100 cheaper.
Don’t forget, these prices don’t include the extra costs like a $400 order fee, a $1400 delivery fee, and the on-road expenses, which can vary depending on where you live, like registration and taxes.
As mentioned earlier, the fresh design of the Tesla Model 3 comes with some noticeable changes. The front and rear parts of the car have a new style with more modern LED lights, and there are also new bumpers. You’ll spot new 18- and 19-inch alloy wheels, and they’ve added two new colors: Stealth Grey and Ultra Red.
Inside, there’s a brand-new dashboard, a different center console, and a bigger touchscreen with thinner edges that respond faster. They’ve also put in new seats, and you’ll enjoy cool features like ambient lighting inside the cabin, ventilation for the front seats to keep you comfortable, and better sound systems for an awesome audio experience.
The steering wheel in the updated Tesla Model 3 is brand new, and they’ve done away with the stalks behind it. Now, you select gears using the touchscreen, and the controls for the turn signals are touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel.
As for the batteries and electric motors, they seem to be the same, but they’ve improved the car’s aerodynamics. That’s made the claimed driving range better – it’s now 513km in the Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) version, up from 491km, and 629km in the Long Range, up from 602km.
In the older model, the RWD had a battery of around 60kWh and an electric motor with 208kW, while the Long Range had a battery of around 80kWh with two motors producing 366kW.
Now, when it comes to options, some prices have gone up. The new 19-inch Nova wheels cost $300 more than the old Sport alloys, and the new Ultra Red and Stealth Grey colors are pricier compared to the previous Red Multi-Coat and Midnight Silver Metallic options.
