ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The fact that Tesla's cheapest Model 3 can be equipped with Full Self-Driving (Supervised) technology has significant implications for the competitive landscape of the Australian EV market

What it means for the order bank

Dealers who stock EVs and hybrids from other manufacturers should be prepared to answer questions about the availability and capabilities of similar autonomous driving technologies

The presence of Full Self-Driving technology on the Model 3 also raises questions about pricing and margin, as Tesla is able to offer a unique feature that may not be available on competing models

Competitor response

Other manufacturers will need to respond to Tesla's technology with their own autonomous driving features, which could lead to a surge in innovation and competition in the EV market

Dealers should be prepared to handle a potential increase in customer inquiries and leads as a result of this competition

Taking action

This week, dealers can take the decisive action of reviewing their current EV and hybrid stock and pricing to ensure they are competitive with the Tesla Model 3 and its Full Self-Driving technology
