Tesla’s Are Sitting Unsold In Australia
A picture of a parking lot full of unsold Teslas has shone a light on the electric vehicles market, which isn’t as robust as manufacturers would like to believe
Around 2000 Teslas arrive at Port Melbourne every month but there’s no buyers to take them home.
Peter Anderson, of the Victorian Transport Association, told 7News:
“All of a sudden we’ve got a huge backlog of Teslas that aren’t moving. Teslas usually come into this country pre-sold. These ones aren’t, they’re sitting here waiting for buyers.”
Tesla sales tanked 44 per cent in April despite recent price cuts in a bid to compete with a growing Chinese EV market.
A brand new Tesla Model Y is now $11,400 cheaper and they aren’t the only ones cutting prices.
The Peugeot e2008 has been given a massive cut from $63,000 to $39,990. On the lower end of the market, a GWM Ora is down 20 per cent to $35,990.
Overall EV car sales dipped five per cent in April after increasing for the past three years.
Car experts say the industry is struggling to expand beyond the early adopter phase, blaming bad charging infrastructure and poor resale figures.
