Tesla

Tesla Inc is an American carmaker that specialises in luxury electric vehicles and clean energy, based in California, USA.

Headed by Elon Musk, Tesla has quickly become one of the world’s most influential electric vehicle manufacturers.

Tesla Australia currently sells the Model 3 sedan and Model Y SUV. The Model S and Model X are no longer part of the local new-vehicle range.

The Cybertruck remains outside the regular Australian new-car range until Tesla confirms local launch timing and retail availability.

2026 Tesla Model 3 review

If the Model Y is the benchmark electric SUV, the Model 3 is arguably still the standard for electric sedans, and the base RWD is the pick.
