Tesla 'graveyard' photo shows major shift in Aussie EV market
In Victoria alone, some 2000 Teslas arrive in Port Melbourne every month without any buyers. And they're starting to pile up.

Musk screwed up on this one ... the same people that drove the push to move to renewables, ie, the left, are the ones he's now targeting in his bid to kiss trumps arse ... why would he now expect them to continue to support him? Cheesy

The same thing happens to everyone who gets involved with Trump - their lives get ruined.

They'll never learn.

You'd be crazy to go anywhere near a Tesla now - the (totally unacceptable) vandalism is only going to get worse.

Yeas, the vicious Left will destroy you if you do not side with them:

The left?

How does this have anything to do with the left?

Was it just a blip in automotive history?

If so, what's next?

If it is hydrogen, where will the fuel come from? At what price?

Thousands of Teslas are sitting idle at Australian ports as interest in electric vehicles stalls and new and more affordable options enter the Australian market. Aerial photos of a port in Melbourne highlight the dramatic shift as Teslas that once rolled off the assembly line to eager buyers now simply wait to find a home.

The aerial vision was captured by 7News with the network melodramatically referring to the scene as a "Tesla graveyard". However it does illustrate the changing gears of the Aussie EV market which has been full speed ahead in recent years.

Industry experts warn the slowing rise in sales is the result of a lack of proper infrastructure coupled with the fact that people are becoming more price conscious, particularly as more options hit the market. ...

Tesla was the first EV off the mark, but now BYD offers better value EVs in the Oz market.

But indeed Oz will need to massively upgrade its EV charging infrastructure (and transition to state-subsidized renewables, including home batteries), if the EV market is to keep growing rapidly, as it is in China.

yes, there are better cheaper EVs on the market

We exchanged contracts on a new PPOR on the weekend, and it has 40 panels on the roof.
I've asked the agent for the actual kwh but all he's come back with is they get zero electricity bills, and it's a big house with central air and 2 REALY big aircon units, and 3 kids.
They also have a Telsa and an Volvo EV in the driveway.

So, I'm starting to think about a Tesla. I'm just hoping Australia has as big a woke tantrum over Musk as the US is so I can get one nice and cheap

The money you save buying the Nazi Wagon can be used to pay the panel beaters to remove the graffiti.

I unconditionally condemn the vandalism, but sure as

s

hit it's gonna happen to more and more Teslas as the MAGA crowd get more and more pissed off with Musk.

Sarcasm from John: the Left - as well as disillusioned MAGA voters who are against Musk's vicious cuts to spending when their own jobs are involved - ie, both sides hate Musk.....for different reasons.

Probably - seeing all Teslas coming to Australia are Chinese made.

Anyway more grief is in store for the stupid LABOR Govts green dream.

Big green hydrogen project for Port Pirie in Sth Australia has been shelved.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-25/green-hydrogen-project-at-port-pirie-shel...

And developers for offshore wind farms are disappearing like a fog.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01-27/offshore-wind-developers-pull-out-of-sout...

Quote:

Alinta Energy quietly shelves WA offshore wind project as field of potential developers thins.

Alinta’s withdrawal from WA, leaves just one entity in the running. Knocking the doors down aren't they......

The wind may be free.....BUT everything else costs far too much.

Denmark Gets No Bids in Largest-Ever Offshore Wind Tender - 3GW

Between the European Union and the UK, countries aim to have some 150 gigawatts of capacity by the end of the decade, more than quadruple today’s level.

The failure of the Danish tender puts that goal further out of reach and similar struggles to attract new investment in neighboring Sweden show it’s not an isolated case.

“The green transition in Denmark has stalled right now,” Kristian Jensen, chief executive officer of industry group Green Power Denmark, said in a statement.

“Too few wind turbines are being built both at sea and on land, and if that situation does not change, we will continue to depend on electricity from brown energy sources.”

The Danish auction system does not foresee any form of state support or "revenue stabilisation" model (that is code for tax payer money) –

Offshore wind developers are asked to pay for the right to build a wind farm.

Denmark does not pay for the grid connection to the offshore wind farms, instead developers have to take on these costs.

So its pretty easy to see what has happened here.

No Government money meant no deal!

Of course in Australia our taxes are absolutely being used to subsidise renewable energy infrastructure....hiding the true costs...

So true about the renewables sham.

You were crazy to get near one from the get go ... Teslar or not.

Musk may have made a blue with E cars but he's still making a skwillion ... why is that?
