Tesla’s strategy of exporting Model 3s from Gigafactory Shanghai to Australia seems to be bearing fruit, with the EV maker recently rolling out a series of price adjustments for the entry-level sedan. The price adjustments were notable, with vehicles like the Model 3 Standard Range Plus getting as much as AU$4,000 (US$3,000) off its cost.
With its recent price adjustment, the Model 3 Standard Range Plus now costs AU$62,900 (about US$48,500), $4,000 less than its previous price. The Long Range Dual Motor AWD variant’s cost saw a $AU$4,000 reduction as well, to AU$77,900 (about US$60,100). Lastly, the Model 3 Performance now sells for AU$89,900 (about US$69,000), which is AU$1,000 (about US$700) less than its previous cost.

Tesla is starting to gain some serious momentum in Japan, thanks to a wave of Model 3 orders. In March alone, the number of Teslas sold in Japan increased by 1,300% year-over-year, thanks in part to the car-buying public’s warm reception to the Model 3.
Japan has been a rather elusive market for Tesla, with the company only selling 44 cars in March 2020, as per data from the Japan Automobile Importers Association. This year, Tesla’s sales jumped to 588 units, a 1,300% year-over-year increase. This effectively made Tesla one of Japan’s most popular foreign brands, just behind Fiat (739 units) and Land Rover (689 units).
