Tesla has finally revealed how popular its new six-seat Model Y really is in Australia – and it might surprise you.

One of China's most advanced Tesla Model Y competitors has surged up the sales charts in Australia, setting records for it and its maker.

The Model Y is the country's top-selling EV, but what if you don't want a Tesla – and are willing to shop used?

Nearly half of all new cars sold last month were electric or hybrid, as Australians continue to escape pressure at the pump – pushing BYD and Tesla up the charts.

Tesla has done what no other car in Australia – from Ford Rangers to Toyota RAV4s – has since the Holden Commodore in March 2003.

The biggest Model Y sold in Australia may be the most popular, and the reason Tesla's family SUV range was the country's top-selling car last month.

Tesla has updated its Full Self-Driving software in Australia to a new iteration claimed to react faster and make smarter decisions.

Australians may soon get a local taste of driverless taxi rides from Google's autonomous spin-off in the back of Geely SUVs from China.

The newest Tesla Model Y rival from China has been met with strong early demand ahead of deliveries commencing in October.

Toyota HiLux deliveries were down the least of the Top Three best-selling new cars last month.

Kia has admitted it will need to pull the handbrake on stocks of non-turbo petrol cars under new emissions rules.

A subtle design cue that has distinguished hybrid Toyota models for more than 20 years has changed.

A decline in sales of utes and electric cars led deliveries of new vehicles in Australia to another month in the red.

New-car sales declined in November 2024 for the fifth consecutive month, but YTD it's still in positive territory.

If the latest promise from Elon Musk comes true, Tesla could have fully autonomous cars on the road in 2025.
