Tesla Model X Australian Pricing Revealed

Initial Australian pricing for the 2017 Tesla Model X SUV has been announced today, starting with the Model X 60D. That entry model will be joined by more powerful variants that will include the 75D, 90D, P90D and P90D with Ludicrous Mode.

The company has confirmed today that the Model X 60D will start at $111,900 (plus on-road costs).

Despite being an entry-level model (although not entry level on price), the 60D will promise over 350 kilometres of driving range, a top speed of 210km/h, all-wheel drive, and a 0-100km/h time of just 6.2 seconds. A Tesla charging station will provide upwards of 60km of range per hour.

Including on-road costs (luxury car tax, GST, stamp duty, compulsory third party insurance and registration), Tesla estimates the entry level Model X will be priced at:

$130,087.20 in Victoria
$125,966.20 in Queensland
$127,113.05 in the Northern Territory
$128,307.23 in Tasmania
$129,255.20 in New South Wales
$123,958.20 in the ACT
$128,402.20 in South Australia
$131,650.84 in Western Australia.

These high prices reflect the need for some local Australian government incentives to stimulate the electric vehicle market. Some things for the government to consider are to cut the luxury car tax on electric vehicles, provide tax rebates or incentives, allow alternative benefits including car pool or bus lane access amongst other things. A Tesla Model X charging station can be installed at the Tesla owners home.

EVSE Australia expect to see the following options available locally for customers:

Seven seats (this includes the extra two seats, along with additional heating and cooling)
Six seats (this includes the extra two seats, but removes the middle seat in the second row to allow for easier entry and egress)
Autopilot convenience features (this includes Autopilot, summon, semi-automatic parking and radar cruise control)
