The NSW EV $3,000 rebate for vehicles under $68,750 (about US $51,460)—plus a stamp duty exemption for vehicles under AU $78,000 (about US $58,385)—make Model 3 Standard Range and Long Range eligible for rebate.

However, the essence of price reductions is not to be more competitive, but to make their electric vehicles more affordable to a large number of consumers.
