[edit 18/6/2023] - Model 3 RWD deal sweetened with 3 months free supercharging and a $600 mobile connector thrown in. model Y seems to be out of stock.
Prices for Auckland delivery, and clean car rebate value based on the assumption you can get the car registered by the end of the month ($1500 less rebate if not)
Model 3 (2022 manufacture year), RWD, White, Inventory: $63,337 - $8625 rebate = $54,712 drive away.
Model 3 (2023 manufacture year), RWD, White, Inventory: $64,007 - $8625 rebate = $55,382 drive away.
For comparison the last time the model 3 was posted, it was $56,667 drive away, after rebate.

Interesting that Tesla has some 2022 manufactured date cars in inventory, but for the price-sensitive buyer they represent a small saving. Both cars in question have the latter (slightly larger) LFP battery pack with 491km WLTP rated range. Neither car's are listed as demonstrators
In New Zealand the "Year" of a Car, is it's year of first registration, rather the year of build, so even if you buy the 2022 car, it will be registered as a 2023 car, and you will be able to sell it as a 2023 car…
Interesting that Tesla even advertises the year of build. Most other brands don't.
But in general I am loving the return of discounts and price cuts to the new car space.
