ADME commentary

The ADME angle

Tesla's decision to include vehicle-to-load technology on all Model Y premium models in the US is a strategic move to differentiate its products and increase their appeal to environmentally conscious consumers

Competitor Response

The availability of this feature on Tesla's premium models will likely put pressure on other manufacturers to offer similar technology, potentially changing the competitive landscape in the Australian EV market

Model Y premium owners will be able to power their homes and devices using their vehicle's battery, reducing their reliance on the grid and decreasing their carbon footprint, which will be a major selling point for eco-friendly buyers

Impact on Showroom Traffic

The expected launch of vehicle-to-load technology in Australia will likely drive more customers to Tesla showrooms, as consumers become increasingly interested in the brand's premium offerings and their advanced features

Tesla's move to include vehicle-to-load technology on all Model Y premium models will also increase the residual value of these vehicles, making them more attractive to buyers who plan to keep their cars for an extended period

Action Item

Australian dealers can prepare for the expected increase in demand for Tesla's premium models by training their staff on the benefits and capabilities of vehicle-to-load technology, and by ensuring they have a sufficient stock of Model Y premium vehicles to meet customer demand, with the goal of having a comprehensive understanding of the feature ready to go within the next week
